There's a longer video on youtube showing several more fans behind the goal kicking the microphone and ripping at seats.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour, and I've read there was some pretty unpleasant chanting from both sides as well.

You can only hope those responsible are banned from every stadium and sporting event there is.

Yep - I've seen that one. I'll not get my Leeds hat on though as things have changed on the whole.
 
SKY SPORTS BREAKING NEWS

John Terry has just been named as the new Serbia u21 coach!
 
Following Liverpool's win, they have now equalled the number of wins both Manchester United and Arsenal have had at Anfield this season :D
 
Missed all the footy today - I've been out with the Chainsaw - two trees later and a full log store I came in to hear City were a goal down.

I decide to follow the match and once again my City curse kicked in.
 
Ferguson has been embarrassed by ferdinands choice not to wear the kick it out tshirt.

What business is it of his? If Ferdinand doesn't believe the cause is doing what it should then why should he support it? It's his choice.

Quite right rio didn't wear it. I mean, he endorses and retweets racist comments.

I suspect SAF feels a little embarrassed because when asked what he thought of Jason Roberts decision not to wear the shirt he said all his players would continue to publicly back the campaign. I guess he just feels undermined. No big deal. United players will all be wearing Rio T Shirts next week LOL

There are a few black players that have long since stopped wearing it and as far as I'm concerned it's up to the individual.

I think Roberts has spoken a lot over the last week when asked about his decision not to wear it and that's been a good a thing as a lot of info has come to light about the campaign - not least the pathetic miserly £300K per year that they have to work with.

I'm all for players not supporting the campaign if they are drawing attention to why it isn't working. In a way they care more.

You just described the last 24 hours of my life. Chicken tikka green masala followed by the stoke beer festival. And now updating this from sitting on the pan.
 
I couldn't quite believe my ears last night when Harry Redknapp claimed Bale was the best player in the premier league and on a par with Messi and Ronaldo. No wonder he's out of a job, it's just a shame he still snakes his way onto TV.

Well he should feel embarrassed. It was stupid what he said in the first place. He can't dictate how his players should or shouldn't support campaigns such as those. It's personal choice.

Crazy. Good player yes, but not great.
 
The Leeds fan who assaulted Kirkland has been sentenced to four months according to my twitter feed.

Nowhere near long enough imo.....word is that LUFC have banned him from Elland Road for life!!

how do they enforce that though? You don't show ID on your way through the turntables. They'll have to have facial recognition scanning the crowds to pick him out
 
Ferguson has resolved things with rio stating that"

"There was a communication problem but it has been resolved."

Yup. Fergie should never have communicated what he said in the first place. That's the problem right there

How does anyone enforce something like that?! :shrug:

It's more a "you're not welcome here" statement, than a "come here again and we'll get the testicle clamps and car battery out" threat.....it hasn't worked on him before, he'd already breached his two previous banning orders on all LUFC matches!!

6 Months for disturbing a boat race between two teams....4 months for assaulting a player on the park in full view of thousands.

Yep that's about right :suspect:
 
No odds get better the longer the game goes on as long as they don't score a winner too early. Hoping for 90 mins at 2-2. Then the odds should be pretty good or a win in fergie time.
