Some fans last night (1 Viewer)

Probably a reaction to the divs clapping him.

Just ignoring him was my preference.

You're a smart man.

 

[Cov. Kids. Never. Quit]

Where I was in 114 it was carnage during the first half with security. Plenty of pissed up people being racist and argumentative with security and then wondering why they were getting kicked out. Think it all started with security trying to get people to be in their correct seats and not in the aisle.

So much for taking the knee.

 

[clint van damme]

You're a smart man.

Theres a lot of evidence to the contrary

 

[Liquicon]

O they were happy to boo that as well!

Robbie Keane was very respectful when he scored against us and isn’t a ‘cov’ lad

The second time he scored against us this was true.

The first time, when he scored the only goal for Leeds at Elland Road in our relegation season?

If you need a refresher… he ran into the corner, did his cartwheel and forward roll followed by his bow and arrow celebration.


I don’t blame him tbh. Just hate the hypocrisy around Keane’s performative non-celebration in a meaningless cup game some years later.


I know people who yelled dogs abuse at the Brighton player who unnecessarily celebrated in front of us the other week and yet thought Mfuni was a top lad for needlessly going to the Newcastle fans when he scored his first ever goal in men’s football.

I might be wrong here but Keane only ever scored once against us

Keane never played against us in the prem?

Think the same, left us for Inter, think it was Liverpool he came back to UK to join?

We were relegated by the time he came back.

Played the second half of the season on loan at Leeds.

 

[LarryGrayson]

Checked soccerbase, got the winner on 31/1/2001 Leeds 1-0 City

 

[LarryGrayson]

Also now found out that he's a cousin of Morrissey!

[San Francisco]

Never understood the mentality of fans who spend years amassing god knows how many points to then go to away games to behave like complete wankers and get kicked out.
The racists should just be banned and have their points rescinded. Alcohol isn't an excuse to be a c**t.

He did. Scored the winner and celebrated with gusto.

Lasted half a season at Inter. Came back to Leeds scored against us in February 2001.

Here it is. Good goal. Worthy of celebration? A bit like Maddison then.

Seems not everyone rated the stewarding. I didn't witness anything so not disputing his story or what's posted here, simply sharing the alternative narrative.

As with most, even when mitigating circumstances, the truth probably somewhere in the middle.

I think the not celebrating has been mixed up with potentially when Keane returned to HR in the League Cup with Tottenham, possibly 2002 or 2003, Worthington Cup and didn’t celebrate and got a great reception. Spurs were wearing a purple kit from memory.

We were definitely in the Championship and at HR.

 

[skyblue025]

Maddison has explained his celebration on X and apologised if he caused offence to any Cov fan.

 

[Sky_Blue_Dreamer]

No. How would you manage it if the oik was making for the exit?

Report it and you can give a description and which exit they were coming out of and what time. There will almost certainly be cameras all around.

Sure, it may be more difficult to get an identity and how you prove they were being racist, but it would still be possible to have it looked at with tha tinformation.

 

[David O'Day]

You clearly don’t know football then.

Tbf I didn’t get the booing before the goal

Owl or Chemtrails?

It's interesting isn't it? I was also in 114 and thought the stewarding was really good. There were some people just in front of us who had obviously wanted to sit together and some of them appeared to be in other people's seats. When those people arrived they weren't happy. It looked like it had resolved itself but maybe it led to this heavy-handed exclusion which I didn't see. I know it's been a hot topic on here but I think people should sit in their allocated seats when it's a full away end. It's always likely to cause a 'you're in my seat' situation which can escalate, especially when there is nowhere else to go.

Is the joke in your signature two jokes in one that I'm missing? (I do get the Nile/denial reference), but did you mean to put South America? I'm guessing a quote from a comedy skit that I'm unaware of.

Totally agree, we always do. Unfortunately plenty of entitled twats who think they have a divine right to sit where they like. I don't really even really have a problem with that, as many aren't bothered or won't challenge, but if someone does comes and wants their seat, then move on , let them have it and don't be an aggressive bellend. Certainly whoever's seat it was shouldn't be the one to suffer.

Yeah. We had some stewards clearing the stairs in our block, basically telling people they have to clear the stairs and go to their seats. When met with any form of dissent, they responded with something along the lines of "show me your ticket or you will be ejected". A perfectly valid and justified response, in my view, when someone is refusing a simple request.

Also a lot of groups of four or more people squeezing into just a few seats. Whilst this sounds only uncomfortable for the participants, it's also a pain for us short arses behind. When in groups of more than the available seats, there is no natural space between people to peek through, so in shallow parts of stands, it only takes a group of slightly taller people to begin to cause an impenetrable barrier to viewing the pitch - which is what happened at Spurs away.

Obviously it's not anyone else's fault I'm small and I accept it's something of an inconvenience, but annoying in the moment. I get fans believe their view of "sitting where you want" at away games is ubiquitous, but I can assure you it's not. Sit where you want, I accept people will, but if someone tells you to move because you're not in your seat or you're on the stairs, just move.

To be honest mate, I think I stole it from a user on another forum, although iirc, I may have tweaked it with the South America bit to annoy people (like you ). I used to like irritating people by using deliberately wrong words to see if they would correct me. A bit like Del Boy with his French. A bit childish, but I used to find it entertaining, especially if the person thought they were doing me an intellectual favour by correcting me, Typing this now makes me realise it is a bit daft, but it's the little things in life that give you pleasure (an open goal opportunity for you there, Rob?!)

Hah love it! I assumed it was something like Brent or Python. Clearly gave you too much credit

On away days I always take my seat 20-25 min before kick off. It saves the hassle from the 5 min before kick off pissed up mob who want to sit with their mates and I get to watch the warm up and see how bad our shooting is.

It was ok in league 2 and 1 too sit where you wanted as loads of space at most grounds. Now everything is selling out the entitled amongst our fans think they can do what they like and get the arse if anyone questions it. It's much the same at England games as well.
