Thinking of you and your family Toby a absolute warrior so young to be taken from us the bravery and courage have shown is overwhelming never ever forgotten.

I'm wondering if all this spygate nonsense is being hyped up by ex pros because its Frank Lampard, and if it was a lesser liked manager then maybe the whole hype around it wouldn't be as bad, no point deduction, no way, waiting for his uncle to chip in, because he never did anything dodgy did he.

13 Jan 2019 15:43:24
No but his dog was as dodgy as hell.

13 Jan 2019 15:52:42
So when Sky interview coach/ managers on the training pitch which they often do is that wrong then?
I've never seen anyone say would you mind panning the camera away from my players .
Never been involved or ever good enough at football to have been involved in a proper training section but surly theirs little that you could see and then change to make a difference, when we lose are 1st thoughts are not I wonder whether someone watched us train .
sometimes it's a silly error, or we don't perform .
Stop looking for excuses (other clubs ) .

13 Jan 2019 15:58:55
Richie Of course. Lamps was one of the most popular players in his era. At least Gazza is on our side.

13 Jan 2019 17:52:51
George to be fair Gaza's doesn't even know what day it is.

13 Jan 2019 20:12:50
met gazza as he was nearly a patron of my last play, very nice guy.

To be honest i think it is as simple as media hype. Sky cover us a lot, we are a big draw for them so any story is news and worthy or air time, the more they build it up the more air time they have.

they know it is a storm in a teacup but it is a storm in a tea cup that fills minutes. bit like a tablod headline that is rubbish but sells papers.

13 Jan 2019 20:22:26
Martyn, Love your avatar bro. Leeds United fans have best humour. I'm blessed to be born and bred in the centre of the Universe with the best fans.

13 Jan 2019 20:59:48
I think that a lot of it has to do with Bub being Johnny Foreigner.

13 Jan 2019 14:57:42
Waltzing Phil Masinga. Arrived at Elland Road mid nineties with the Chief Radebe. Great memories of you playing for both Leeds and your country.
Shocked to hear he has passed away at such a young age 49.
Never be forgotten, Leeds legend. RIP Phil.

13 Jan 2019 15:41:37
Way to young rip Phil.

13 Jan 2019 20:14:29
rip always remmebr waiting for the african yeboha to play in the fa cup but he couldn't due to paper work i think but a different afircan stole the show with a couple of great goals. it was on tv against reading i think. i was young lad at the time but that will always stick with me.

13 Jan 2019 12:41:20
Hoping it's not true but just seen an article saying Masinga has died from cancer.
Always liked Waltzing. To me under-rated and seem to recall his scoring record/ min played was good as he often scored after coming on a sub.
RIP.

13 Jan 2019 13:14:11
Sadly true top bloke
RIP.

13 Jan 2019 13:20:02
Sad news indeed.

13 Jan 2019 14:54:40
Philomen Masinga RIP.

13 Jan 2019 15:28:46
Real friendly guy, taken too young, RIP big guy.

13 Jan 2019 12:35:41
Calling on Leeds fans who live close to training grounds where we have still yet to play! Don your most, undercover clothes, take the dog if you have one and walk the public perimeter as much as you can in the week before the game. Stop frequently to take photos of your dog, yourself and all the items of natural or unnatural beauty in your path.

If it has the same effect on their coach and team as it did with Fat Frank. We won't need to worry about any new recruits!

13 Jan 2019 13:26:38
Spanish put me down for AVFC, BCFC and I can even stretch to visit WBA. Just got to borrow a dog now lol.

13 Jan 2019 13:58:54
I found a dog outside Waitrose earlier, lovely coat it had on it too

Put me down for the Stoke mission.

13 Jan 2019 14:45:31
You must be kidding, going anywhere near Stoke with a camera? Lovely place :)

13 Jan 2019 16:15:14
Come on Al! Take one for the boys!

Your mission if you decide to accept it!

13 Jan 2019 21:04:46
I'd certainly take my camera to Stoke, wouldn't do a lot of good tho because it wouldn't be coming back, not that everyone in Stoke are tealeaves or anything ;)

13 Jan 2019 11:55:07
Thought crossed my mind is that the Sky TV presenters were just trying to have a good old wind up of us fans by highlighting it so prominently . Frank thought he was being clever in the mind games department, think that backfired and the Sky blokes were also very willing accomplices in this ploy. If old Frankie Boy can't turn his teams form around, he might be under a lot more pressure. P45 at the ready. Also the word spy, in truth he was only a scout and most likely not very clandestine if the truth be known. The just wanted the bloke removed and then took the opportunity to play mind games with the situation . Could have all been handled behind the scenes very amicably but Frank tried to gain from it and we all know the result.

13 Jan 2019 12:30:20
I honestly think Fat Frank let his own team down, badly. He set the climate for the game by his comments and attitude. He was clearly distracted by the issue and that must have affected his team. Then to go on TV again after the game and Criticize Bielsa, who had already rung him to explain and apologize, and worse his own team for effectively being distracted from their game plan! His responsibility to ensure his team was prepared properly for the game, his failure!

How does he think he got the Derby job? Excellent coaching record and experience? Arrogant, x player taking a plum championship job away from others who could probably do it miles better!

13 Jan 2019 12:46:57
Frank wants the points now 😂😂😂.

13 Jan 2019 12:51:02
Id like to think, no I know if the shoe had been in the other foot and it was derby "spying" on leeds, it would have galvanized the team more to put on a display. Just shows how nieve he really is (franky boy) as a coach and how little his team proformed for him and their fans.

13 Jan 2019 16:22:59
I agree Mezzer and when I was walking to the ground and hearing the news that is what I was worrying about! But just didn’t happen at all. We used the issue so much better than they did!

13 Jan 2019 10:23:26
A good piece in the Sun today by Dave Kitson about the so called spying issue. If you don't want to buy it, not my choice of paper, it is worth looking on line or reading somebody else's copy.

13 Jan 2019 10:52:07
Hope it explains that this has been common practice for years, in this country and others. Maybe frowned upon but not technically against the laws yet! It's all down i suppose to interpretation of the laws and I would imagine hard to impose. Players pissed off with their club for being left out have leaked team news to rivals in the past. Even franky boys beloved jose at Chelsea would send his coach AVB to get information on their opposition. Sour grapes from franky, even Scott carson stated he found it hard to see what Leeds would have gained, I think it was excellent gamesmanship from bielsa and worked a treat, franky boy got schooled. Even we believed Hernandez was out injured!

13 Jan 2019 11:12:12
Yes Mezzer, he says it has been going on for years. I also read this morning of FF's beloved Chelsea doing it along with many others. It has been blown up out of proportion because it is Leeds. If it was the other way round I could imagine FF getting praise for forward thinking off some of these naff pundits.

13 Jan 2019 13:02:46
Says more about Frank and his coaching/ management ability then mate, deflection from his own failing. I personally find it more a publicity stunt from Bielsa to rattle franky boy and it worked a treat. Poor, poor, franky boy, respected his dedication as a player but just another whinging git.

13 Jan 2019 09:35:24
Sad news about Phil Masinga.
49 is no age. RIP. ALAW.

13 Jan 2019 10:25:55
Just saw that news danum, such a relatively young age how sad. Gone far too soon. RIP Phil.

13 Jan 2019 10:49:08
Rest in peace phil gone too soon great memories of you.

13 Jan 2019 11:00:58
RIP "Waltzing" a nice bloke, unfortunate to come to Leeds at a time when we had an abundance of strikers, nonetheless, one of ours.
