It's bad enough travelling 15 minutes up the road to watch some of the dire performances we've endured since Christmas, commuting from Scotland quite another. Hats off to you.

The fact that GFH gave Andrew Flowers the run around when he attempted to buy the club won't have helped.

Well it looks like we're deep in debt, future income has been mortgaged and it's likely a convicted fraudster is about to take control at the club.

He was treated very badly this week by the club, all the best for the future Brian.

I didn't know that but I do remember him in the form of his life while on trial for the attack on Safraz Najeib (which I think was that period). The effect the trial had on Woodgate on the other hand was markedly different.

Good on Frannie Lee for his contribution.

If there was a prize for crossing the ball into the box behind your strikers we'd of won it hands down Tuesday. On the upside Mowatt looks to have some potential.

Your mate is 100% correct.

Bates was sacked because he committed the club to a private jet contract to ferry him to and from Monaco without authorisation, seems the club were paying 5K a month for Bates office in Monaco. On top of that as I think we all knew the club were paying for the many court cases Bates was involved in. He seems to say he is going to sue GFH for missed payment involving a company Bates claims to have nothing to do with (Lutonvillle). Bates is also attempting to blame the GFH for the huge cashflow / financial liablities they inherited which of course were a result of Ken's activities. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2013/jul/27/ken-bates-leeds Looking forward to the Brighton games as well DFTR, looks like we might have a decent crowd.

Pleased to see the back of the toxic, divisive tosser. Some of the positive press he's received relating to his time at Elland Road defies belief. Party to celebrate his departure in town for the Brighton match.

Quite a boy, it seems he had a hand in Fifa's decision to introduce penalty shoot outs and ban the coin toss to decide matches. http://www.thesquareball.net/2011/01/28/looking-for-kitabdjian-part-2/

The style of football is much better under the new manager in my opinion, at times the stuff Colin served up was mind numbingly bad. The jury is out on GFH for me so far, the saving grace for that lot is they'd have to work very hard to be as bad as the previous owner.

I was pretty sure I'd clocked you posting previously, from memory a bit of a qwerty cage fighter. A quick check of your previous posts confirms I hadn't mixed you up with another poster. Not backwards in coming forwards when it comes to dishing out the insluts via the keyboard it would seem, I understand that it happens now & again but the level you manage seems a bit odd. Better than taking it out on some poor unfortunate in the real world I suppose but odd nonetheless IMO. It's hard to be offended by your comments when it seems a habitual thing for you. 2/10

The team got relegated that season.

The photo's below were taken inside the home dressing room at Elland Road during a stadium tour 2011 - 2012 season. The letter is from an Ex Serviceman to Ken Bates (I assume it was sent to Ken during the 2007 relegation season) it was blown up, made into a poster and fixed to the dressing room wall. The intention was to motivate the players, I did wonder what Becchio made of it. Credit andrewata for the photographs.

Please explain why in your opinion this is the case. Why the clubs you mentioned are special cases in your view.

Isn't that video from before Savile died & long before accusations were made public? Not really a riot either more a case of a couple of blokes prancing around in fancy dress waving scarves.

Wrong in my book.

I've made it clear that the fan deserves all the punishment he will get, that he was wrong & I've condemned his behaviour outright. You can choose to ignore past incidents involving your club if it suits but to me it seems a case of people in glass houses flinging stones.

Like I said earlier Jimmy, I've got the measure of you.

Grasping as straws James I'm afraid. Lots of info public, if you want to keep the blinkers on that's up to you. I'm a lot of things Jimmy but I'm not a bull shitter, http://www.thestar.co.uk/news/eight-fans-arrested-as-sheffield-wednesday-relegated-1-857006

Of course not, wouldn't suit your agenda Jimmy.

Give your head a shake.

The incident is well documented, you don't need me to post a link just ask google. I've seen a few players assaulted by fans first hand in recent years, Casper Ankergren the keeper now at Brighton was on the receiving end at the Den as was Shane Lowry up at Carlisle. I only mentioned Clint Hill as it was recent & at SWFC. The Hearts fan on this thread seems keen to dish it out but given the attempted assault on an opposition manger at Hearts in recent years it seems to me at least a case of pot calling kettle black. I'll leave the formulation of vile league fans to others, in the 80's the the flag and the bull dog did that sort of thing.

"alleged", scraping the barrel there, I'm not desperate but at the same time I like to think I'm subjective and not selective.
