You lot do realize Arthur is no longer with us don''t you? Relocated to holiday home in Matlock for health reasons but sadly taken ill last year. Pop in his old local after work, and what I was told by various locals, sadly missed even by the local goober fans he used to heckle after serval drams. Just thought I should mention it if you were not aware.

What a big fuss about nothing. I cant understand some people on here are thick enough to think that what he said is a crinimal offence. The tw@ who sent the emai in the first place, and The Evening News have dramatised this in a way The News Of The Wordl would be proud of, have made a mountain out of a molehill and you lot have fallen for it hook line and sinker. I dont hate anyone or anything attached to Colchester. The chairman is humped that we pinched Colchesters manager and its brewed from there. We get the hump when people take our players and managers, so why shouldnt he? One example of many is Dean Ashton is still mentioned on this forum, as being hated for leaving us for a bigger club. Anyone see the irony. Colchester as a club, stadium, history, are not anywhere near Norwich. I am not saying we are a big club, but compared to Colchester we are. Norwich V Ipswich is, was, and forever, will be our only derby grudge match. This Colchester rivalry is like Manchester United having a feud with Oldham or Stockport. Poor little innocent fan sent offensive email by Colchesters chairman, boo hoo. And then right at the end of the story, a small mention of the email the Norwich fan sent him in the first place, which was childish and pathetic. Is he a grown man or a school kid? Perhaps he hasnt even started school. Whatever the case he seems to have a very low IQ. This being front page news has nothing to do with the link between Bowkett and Archant of course, oh course not, what a stupid idea. I was always under the belef emails were personal. I recall numerous emails printed on here being taken off. The reason for taking them off is : Unless both parties agree to a personal email being made public, it breaches the confidential agreement of the email. The Nazi thing is bad, but its just an expression. He didnt say Bowkett and McNally are responsible for the murder of millions of jews, and organised race hate groups, and wanted a pure race. How many times have I seen people on here use the term ''Nazi'', when talking about First Wizard and co, on numerous debates? Some of you have blown this out of all proportion, helped by the knob who ran the story, and the boll#ck brain who sent the original email, in the hope of getting the reaction he got. What did he expect to get in response? Dear Sir, thank you for the advice, I will now appoint a manager from the Ridgeons League, and will now take the chip off my shoulder. Dont know the guy who sent it, but the fact he went to the media with a private email, made himself to be an innocent party, and the fact he had nothing better to do than to insult and abuse a person via email, draws me to the conclusion hes a grade A prick.

Just seen his interview after the final - never knew he was a scouser?

No, Moyes is not as bad, had you said Glenn Roeder, then well.

Like I said barclayboys, people dont call Leeds the seat smashers for nothing. Just like to say to the chap saying its a myth that ''casuals'' only fight other casuals. Dont base that thought on what happened with Leeds yesterday. Read my post about the hooligan "scene" shall we say. Leeds and Wolves are a couple of exceptions, but this is not a myth. It does happen now and again, but its very rare. Lads want to fight regardless of a result. You dont travel however many miles with 100+ lads on the off chance you lose and kick off.

Because I bloody didnt!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Deserted the sinking ship. I might just add, am I the only person who thinks Simon Grayson is the dullest manager in this league? Any manager suggestions that are more boring than him? Anyway, where has Spainboy gone, I mean the title is Leeds, the best we can hope for is 2nd place isnt it?

Everything set up for the happy clappys who would melt away if they had to pay the going rate Whats the going rate then? I thought £30 for a League One game was pricey myself?

The police were just as much to blame as Leeds fans for standing by and doing nothing to protect innocent fans. Norfolk police should apologise to the women and children abused and in tears., not claim a job well done. Leeds have no morals about who they fight with, and the police just stood by and let them get on with it. I had a call from my friend a little while ago who went to the game with his girlfriend and their daughter {7}, and he told me a group of 9-10 Leeds were calling him a c*nt and his duaghter and girlfriend a couple of whores. When he stood up to one of them he got a bit of a slap. He told a nearby officer, who said if he got involved it would only make things worse. Norfolk police are as bad as Leeds scum. Norfolk police perhaps would like to explain to my friends daughter and girlfriend how exactly it was a job well done.

Im with you Evi Monkey, I dont think its a laugh, nor acceptable, just my thoughts of my encounters with ''lads'', and just trying to shed some light on this "world" shall we say. Sorry about posting it twice, for some reason, it didnt show up as being posted on the thread. Dont know what happened.

If you read my post Evil Monkey I clearly say I dont agree with it, I was just pointing out simple facts. I dont like it on any level. Ive known lads involved with various different clubs, as my work takes me around the country,and I stay at weekends and take in a local game now and again with these work mates. And when they talk to me about it, I really dont get it and tell them that. You will be suprised the people you know,work with, play footy with, who have actually been involved at some point in their lives. Little Billy no mates in the corner of the office, wouldnt say boo to a ghost, yet come the weekend hes a different person. My previous post was in no way agreeing with or liking hooliganism. Ive told them why not join the army if you want to fight. All my post was, was to point out how low on the radar these scum are. Yes its a scummy radar, but they are at the bottom of the heep. I dont care for if these guys have respect or not I was merely pointing out to anyone who cared that they dont. Morty understood what I was getting at and hopefully everyone else will.

As for Norfolk police, who I blame as much as Leeds fans, for standing by and watching innocent kids, women OAPs attacked, keeping it hush hush, they seem rather pleased with their efforts yesterday. "A job well done" according to them. I beg to differ - please read, from The EDP - Police today welcomed a job well done as their “most challenging” match of the season at Carrow Road passed with relatively few arrests. There were sporadic skirmishes before and after the top-of-the-table Norwich City v Leeds United clash, but Supt Jim Smerdon of Norfolk Police said officers were “on top of the situation”. His comments were challenged by some Canaries fans, who criticised the decision to allow the Leeds fans to leave at the same time as the home supporters, and said some of the behaviour they witnessed from the Yorkshire followers was “intimidating”. One fan, who did not want to be named, said: “We sit in the River End and came out about five minutes after the final whistle. As we approached the Jarrold Stand it was clear the Leeds fans were being let out. “No police were present and Leeds fans were picking off the city fans as they walked past. I saw a grown-up Leeds fans spitting at a 10 year old and his dad as we walked past. “It must be 15 years since I''ve felt so intimidated at a home match. Why the police felt the need to let them out as they had just lost in the 90th minute is beyond me.” Another fan, writing on the website carrowroad.net, said a woman and her four-year-old had encountered a group of Leeds fans in Dereham before the game. He said: “A few of them walked across towards her shouting and swearing at her and the terrified little lad. On getting back to her car she had to spend 30 odd minutes trying to persuade her boy to go to the game as he thought he was going to have go through it again. Sadly that was the case as she walked to the ground right near Carrow Road.” Supt Smerdon said: “It was a top-of-the-table clash that was very significant for both teams. It was always going to be passionate and Norwich scoring in the last minute did not help us. “It''s fair to say that the game attracted factions from both clubs that we don''t want to see at football matches.” He added that there were “six or seven arrests” and said: “There were some policing challenges. But we were up to the challenges on the way in and on the way out.” Supt Smerdon defended the decision to allow the Leeds fans to leave at the final whistle, saying: “Holding fans back is a tactic that has to be pre-planned and needs extra resources. We have to balance it against the safety of the fans in the stadium.” There were reports of confrontations between fans before the match on Prince of Wales Road and outside the ground immediately after the game, but he said the incidents were “very short”. Police were called to Dereham to deal with “rowdy behaviour” after 200 Leeds fans arrived in the town before the match, with one coach breaking down nearby. Many congregated in and around the Red Lion pub on Quebec Street, where officers were sent as a precaution in case of any trouble. But a spokesman for Norfolk police said no serious incidents were recorded and no arrests were made. He said: There was some rowdy behaviour but nothing untoward was recorded and they all got back on the coach when asked.”

To this idiot Pedro the so called steward, if you dont get paid enough to get involved why become a steward you tw@?

Leeds hooligan reputation is one that has not been earned in the right way. Im not agreeing with hooliganism but there are some major factors. 99% of genuine hooligans, casuals, lads, whatever you want to call them will only attack rival ''firms'', not familys, or ''scarfers''. You can say what you like about Millwall, West Ham, Cardiff, Tottenham, etc but they do generally only fight like minded people, with perhaps the exception of Wolves. Leeds on the other hand have made a reputation of attacking familys, smashing everything in sight {how brave - windows cant fight back can they}. Leeds supporters actually seem proud of their reputation, despite its a reputation for going against all the hooligan ''rules'' so to speak. Now im not saying hooliganism is right, but if one firm and another firm want to fight each other then so what - as long as no innocents are caught up. I know innocent people sometimes do get dragged in but this is frowned at and disgusts genuine lads, it doesnt disgust Leeds fans, they seem proud of it. Norwich had close to 300 lads out yesterday, Leeds had about 100, yet despite those numbers, all the reports are that Leeds, despite having like minded lads to have a pop at decided to have a go at normal supporters. Leeds hooligans are proud of thier reputation - even though the country despises what they do and their below the belt tactics. They are not called the seat smashers for nothing. They would rather smash a window or punch an OAP than have it with lads from the opposition. Leeds are a joke in the casual world - thee a good reason why everyone sings we all hate Leeds scum - and I think Norwich fans saw that reason yesterday, The same Leeds fans who smash grounds up because they claim other fans sing turkish songs, are the same Leeds fans who sing about the munich crash, hillsborough, the Bradford fire - they are scum. Leeds think they have a bad {good} hooligan reputation, this is not true, ask any genuine hooligan in England what they think of Leeds and nobody respects them. Ok the odd club you get a few barmy beer monsters who will hit anyone after a defeat - however proper lads will have a go regardless of the result. Leeds are proud to be scum, attacking anyone from children to pensioners and the disabled, they have been doing this since the 70s and wont change now. Leeds have absoloutly zero respect in the hooligan world - if thats any comfort to you or not is another thing, but im just pointing out, that they think they are living up to thier reputation - well they are, as a scum firm, with zero respect.

Not looking for an argument but would like to make a point. A very large majority of Norwich fans were abusing Leeds, before, during, and after the game, and then you come on here and call Leeds fans thugs? Now from what I saw, both were as bad as each other, goading each other from kick off, and in the city/riverside, and not friendly banter, goading. Problem some Norwich fans seem to have, is they think its a bit of fun to take the piss out of away fans, yet if that away fan chins you, you start blubbering about it. Im not saying leeds fans were angels, I saw them attack anything from genuine ''lads'' to normal supporters, but the supporters who are quick to call other fans hooligans are the same supporters who wind them up in the 1st place. Yes its only a game, but if I walked into your place of work and started repeatedly calling you a wanker would you just sit thee? Dont dish it out if you cant take it yourself. And yes I am a Norwich fan.
