I kow it's a retrograde step but should the stewards start inspecting our membership cards again. They did before and we had a break from hooliganism. JD

Fans that dont have memberships ?

I think it's more a cultural / climate thing combined with the fact that a local derby, on a friday night = a days drinking with Saturday to sleep it off. Would be best to move similar fixtures.

If you are not a member or a season ticket holder you should not have tickets to away games (in theory you can't buy them), so it would be a good idea for Leeds stewards to travel to away games and check tickets and member / season tickets of all fans! Having said that I heard that SWFC would not allow the Leeds stewards to attend?

Whoever purchased Mr Cawley's ticket should be identified and banned also!

Can I just say how upset I am about the actions of Luke Varney,after the game on fri every other leeds player went to thank the 5000 plus real fans for there support,when warnock indicated to Varneythat it was one fan and that he should go thank them he whispered something in warnocks ear then disappeared down the tunnel,who is he to judge us we pay the mans wages as far as I am concerned he showed a lack of respect and should never wear a leeds top again.

Can u lip read? He may have been saying he's desperate for the bog or sumat.
He's not had a great start but give him time then judge him. If Neil rates him then I trust as he knows a hell of a lot more than any of us.
Lets move on from Friday and worry about the next match TOMORROW :-)

Dont know what Varney said to gaffer. But lets face this: situation friday night so special you could well argue players should NOT applaud the fans. Im proud of NW commanding them to do so. But I fully resepect Varney if he felt it was not right. No facit here mate - tolerance the issue!

He's probably still Weds at heart....Needs to start turning up for Leeds. On performance he's been NW weakest signing ...so far!

Warnock cant rate him that much anymore hes seen he hasnt performed when it gets to competitive matches he was the replacement for snodgrass now he struggles to get on the pitch he has under performed and would love to see him play to his potential

ED - do you think the response unbelievable is a bit like using the word wicked, generally today does not mean bad, most people use it to mean outstanding, great etc. many people like in the case of the 16 week sentence for that knob..might actually think it is unbelievble he only got 16 wks...just a thought!

Great to see that mindless person behind bars. But what was Dave Jones on about?
all leeds fans are and should be banned in his eyes.i just hope we all dont start getting tared with thesame brush.........anyone else have anopinion on this?

22 Oct 2012 19:57:12
Just remembered that Alan pardew actually pushed a 4th official to the ground this season at St. James's park,but he apologised so it must be ok now? Why has he not been banned from football grounds for 5 years or Newcastle punished? Just shows that there is problems from the top all the way down !!!

He did say that he didnt want to tarnish all u guys with the same brush, so stop reading what suits you guys.

We already are all tarred with the same brush. It goes back to the '70s when Bremner, Charlton, Hunter etc. were "dirty" and Smith and "Chopper" Harris were "tenacious".

Bias press and media? You bet!

will we break our tuesday night duck against charlton?

deakko7

Just pretend we are playing Everton and we will be fine

Yes. Next question.

get over it everyone itss donee, we are not the only set of fans that abuse everyone. everyones taking it so seriously it was one man of 5000. did everyone not see ssunderland yesterday wishing taylors DEATH? millwall, palace, liverpool its not just us. we are english its a mans sport corrrrrrrr

See where you're coming from. Still doesnt make it right though. It's a mans sport, but how many kids go to these games? I persoanlly wouldnt want my kids to turn out like that scrote cawley, just because he looked up to a few thugs on a saturday afternoon.

After playing both football and rugby for a good 15yr...football yes is a tough game...kicks,elbows and even the occasional heed butt...I've got the scars and broken bones to prove that...but its not a man's games...rugby is a man's game where cheats never prosper,fans stand together to cheer on there team and the players kick ten barrels out of each other for the name of sport. Then have a nice couple of pints in the clubhouse. Now that's a man's game m8.Not some pi**ed up chavs who think its there god given right to cause trouble at a football ground.
Just sayin...:-P

We are English? It's a man's sport? Exactly the one of thinking that breeds moronic chav like Aaron Crawley. The only way we'll move on from this sort of nonsense is to start acting like we live in the 21st century, not in 1979. It's time to move on and grow up - this club needs forward thinking leadership AND fans, not constant reminders of our little Englander past

23 Oct 2012 17:26:41
all im saying is there is way to many little bi**** get over itttttttt, MOT 3 points today. if yu have leeds united av a goooooo? not if you hate leeds united sit down and be silent

Cawley charged with assault and entering the field of play. SSN website! Glad he's been done, and nice to see what Bates has said, I'm sure if he comes to a Leeds game again and is noticed, the fans will turn him away! He wants Leeds to win, but he wants to make himself on the headlines and be a Pratt! We don't need that one person in our club, there is enough of us proud Leeds fanaround the world were Leeds United!!! Marching on Together.

In terms of justice, the reaction has been good. This person committed this offence on the Friday night and by the Monday morning is in Prison for four months and banned from all football venues for five years, might allow him time to grow up a bit. Leeds released a statement immediately after the game condemning the violence, and from Chairman to Manager to fans we have by the majority been angered by this stupidity and dont want it at our great club. You haven't seen anything really from Sunderland yesterday after racism, throwing objects and vile chants, at least we have United in or condemnation and want to improve our club.

Lets hope 4 months means 4 months and see how he feels eating his xmas dinner inside...then miss his visit to santa....shrew leeds

22 Oct 2012 14:48:28
just a thought how did this vermin get a ticket for the match apparently he was already banned from going to matches so someone must have bought a ticket for him they want banning too

Unfortunately this person will be out for xmas if he behaves. he will only serve two months if he is a good boy. hopefully he will continue to be a complete person on the inside. and then , with a bit of luck , a bit of prison justice will take place and he " slips in the shower " . this person deserves everything he gets in the future and the police and our club must ensure he doesnt even see elland road ever again.

I am going to make a completely new thread up regarding this personic behaviour shown by a minority of fans.

Leeds United, we like any other club, have our own section of imbeciles that find it acceptable to revel in others misfortune.

But for Dave Jones, to tar us all with the same brush is ludacrous, offensive and touches close to slander;
I have NEVER been in trouble with the law, I work in an industry that assists in saving people's lives and performing life threatening brain surgery so am I a vile creature.. because I am an avid Leeds fan?

Whether we like it or not, Brutish thuggery is not going to disappear in this country during football matches, because the way the government is set up, people get something for nothing in this day and age, so they get physical, aggressive when they don't get things their own way.
That's not Leeds Utd's fault, that is Britains and the Government's doing.. for letting the country slip to the standard it is now, it is all over the country, I live in Birmingham and we have areas over here that we avoid due to the high chance of being mugged/attacked!.

And to the Nottingham Fan below that is saying how our entire fan base is the same in terms of vile behaviour, may I just remind you that Nottingham have the highest Gun Crime in the UK, so those in glass houses and all that.

We all are not lucky enough to sit in a prestigious managers job at a 2nd tier football club, and by all means I am not condoning the chanting that was undertaken by personic fans, (not to mention the Instanbul scenario which SheffWeds started, but of course they are not vile are they Dave?) but maybe they should take their massive pay check and think that it is part of the job to recieve insults thrown at you.. while once again I am not condoning, it will never stop. Just like my job involves people dying from time to time, I have to get on with it and think about the next patient (next fixture).. Hope some people can see where I am heading with this post.

To be honest i have only been to half a dozen away matches over the last two years and i thought our behavior had improved a lot we get behind the team big style have a bit of football banter. But friday was back to the seventies when we had national front and all that rubbish at matches. LETS NOT GO BACK THERE.

Has anybody else seen the varney video doing its rounds on YouTube Warnock tells him to go clap the Leeds fans and he doesn't Warnock then tells him it was only one fan and he still doesn't go. I agree that there was one complete w**ker there but still 4999 Leeds fans who deserve recognition from the players for the great following they give. Varney is rubbish anyway get rid if he feels like that
Roofing white

Thought it was norris that wouldnt go and clap the fans

I have seen it and warnock clearly says luke, only one and then varney seems to go to walk towards the fans and warnock seems to put his arm in front of varney and stopping him from going to clap but then varney walks off shaking his head so not really sure what was going on there. i heard reports that the police advised warnock not to go over at half time and full time but not sure what was happening with varney.

I was there and I can see why a player wouldn't have come across and clapped the support. I personally think none of them should have. Yes it was a minority of fas that ran on the pitch, charged down to the bottom corner trying to fight, ripping out chairs, singing peado songs, making light of Jimmy Savile... Most fans were there for the game and didn't turn into raging people at the word Istanbul but we are unfortunately part of the same group and will be thought of in a collective sense. I didn't sing those songs but I didnt stop people singing or make vocal my disgust which shames me somewhat. We need to show we do not condone some of the sick chants (we didn't respond with honour when they were directed back at us) we should sing about our great club not how much we despise other people who like Chelsea and Man U, who don't really give a toss about us. Replace the bitter, negative, and sometimes aggressive Leeds attitude with pride and honour and hopefully one day we wont be seen as something disgusting on the bottom of other teams shoes.

Anybody watch the Newcastle v Sunderland derby yesterday. Sunderland fans chanting they wish "Steven Taylor was dead" one of the Newcastle players. Hmmm doesn't seem to have made all the headlines today.

Demba Ba was also allegedly racially abused by a Sunderland fan, and Cabaye had objects thrown at him whilst taking a corner. If you want to compare FA reactions lets see what happens to Leeds and what happens to Sunderland in the PremLeague

Two Stoke players rumoured to be loaned to Leeds this week. Jerome and Jones

'Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple.'
Wise words from the immortal Bill
Shankly. Stop with the chanting,
stop with the recriminations, stop
with the innuendo. Just go to your
club at 3 o clock on a Saturday
afternoon (I wish) and watch a
cracking game (hopefully) and drive
home afterwards full of the skill and
passion you have witnessed on the
field.

What great words! I've supported this club since I learned to speak. Now, I'm 32 and have a great life, the only negative thing is the terribly run Leeds Utd and our shockingly neanderthal like fans. It's like having a smackhead burglar for an cousin who you love and despite equally.

Depressing stuff after so much optimism, on and off the pitch. Been a supporter for over 40 years and thought I'd heard and seen it all but friday made me feel ashamed of being a Leeds fan. I hope most people realise that we're not all thick persons. I want to take my boy to the match and make him feel proud to wear the scarf and the shirt. We need to leave this crap behind once and for all.
