Block E Buh 0 Posted August 4, 2012 Last night on Twitter a lot of Leeds fans were talking about how they would get promotion and pass us on the way as we are relegated. I decided to stick up for us and maybe join in some banter. I enjoy banter and dont mind getting a few pelters but some of them just went too far and became really abusive!They are really convinced we are going down and they now think we have a league 1 midfield and our "purple latch" is over. I really hope we stay up and they dont go anywhere as some of the abuse was a little out of order. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Block E Buh 0 Posted August 4, 2012 If we stay up we also have this big pay day for season 2013/14 which is an even bigger incentive I know! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cantiaci Canary 558 Posted August 4, 2012 I think you''ll find that if you get involved in banter with any football fans on Twitter you will provoke unacceptable abuse.Look at the disgusting abuse some of our Olympians, Lineker''s son and Kirsty Allsop have received on Twitter. It''s not specific to Leeds fans. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yorkshire Canary 118 Posted August 4, 2012 Regardless of what happens to us i would be gobsmacked if leeds go up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ImDrunky 0 Posted August 4, 2012 Leeds won''t go up, there are better and stronger teams in the Championship than them that will get promotion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OMG, I hope Chris Hughton uses this in his team talk to really get the team fired up. [:|] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellowbeagle 0 Posted August 4, 2012 I really cant see Leeds going up unless they get on a good run and momentum carries them. I have to say anyone who goes on another fans forum after taking 3 of their best players on the relative cheap is setting themselves up for abuse righty or wrongly regardless of it being Leeds or not.As for Twitter and the abuse atheletes get on there, thats totally wrong but it bemuses me why any sports person wants to have an account telling every Tom, Dick and Harry their life which only encourages stalker like behaviour.

Block E Buh 0 Posted August 4, 2012 I agree, shouldnt have got involved. Just saw NCFC getting pelters and only one person sticking up for the yellows so thought I would too, abuse went too far but I agree with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They have a class manager, so I wouldn''t be too surprised.Bloody hope not though! [:P] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But from what I''ve seen from Leeds last season I still don''t think they''ll do well, especially now they are selling their best players. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
