Thank you. Anastasias started with neuroblastoma, which for a long time was under control but is now into her bone marrow, lymph nodes and bones. They were just getting on top of that when she went horribly jaundice all of a sudden and we found she has hepatoblastoma in her liver and her only...
That makes me giggle. We went through this when we wrecked Busbys silence, Leeds had all the photo footage from the press. The Mirror ran a hate campaign and tried to get a group of 8 fans banned. it fell down on it's knees when they couldn't prove when the photos were taken. During the silence...
I think Hull are going to boycott their game as well because of the same restrictions put on them. WYP have a lot to answer for, but then South Wales started all this with their restrictions. It's all a bit tit for tat. According to Leeds ticket office Cardif had 403 unsold seats last season so...
There was trouble but it wasn't a full scale riot. That single game counts for nearly 50% of our total arrests for the whole of last season.
The full riot is going to happen in a few weeks, have you seen Publicity Petes comments?
Thank you, I really appreciate it.
We're not all bad. People are all to eager to believe the media castigation of us and take what the red tops say as gospel. The same red tops who used to run the If you see Best drinking call 0876.... or Wife Beating Drunk stories who are now loving on him...
That was at Blackburn and there was a again a PL minute silence for Busby (see the Man Utd theme...). and the Leeds fans sang "There's only one Don Revie" through Busbys silence. Seems true greats aren't worthy of a silence.
We were castigated like this then as well.
Hitting a woman once is enough, so if it was a consistent thing it'd be different, gee? That's like saying a 70 year old man only had sex with a 10 year old girl once.
Best -
Driving while intoxicated. Twice
Failure to appear in court
Assault (1984, 2003 twice and 2005)
I must have missed...
I agree with that, though knowing us if there was to be a minutes applause you'd get a minutes silence. ;-)
I've never doubted the Northern Scum, it's a tag that I think is pretty much justified.
Callum is 8, Francesca is 5 and Anastasia is 2. Cal and Cesca were at the game.
I told the two of them on the train going up about Best being a wonderfully talented footballer, they've seen his goals on the news in the past two or so days, but I also told them the not so nice things about him...
And teaching them to respect a wife beating, drink driving alcoholic is better?
I didn't ask my children to turn their backs, if they wanted to stand in silence (not that there actually was one) they were free to do so.
I'm glad you hold King Billy in esteem.
Best lived his life in public, King Billy aside from his footballing commitments retired and lived in Scotland in peace. In the same street he'd grown up on. Didn't beat his wife and court front page publicity, nor drink himself into stupours in the...
King Billy was not an alcoholic or a wife beater. Elsie his wife, who has sadly passed on herself now was chairwoman of our supporters club I've had the pleasure of her company on numerous occassions. He did not drink himself silly, then take another liver and do unrepairable damage to that...
I'm not expecting you to respect any decision Leeds fans might make, I'm sure you've been around in football long enough to know that really we don't care. Love us, hate us, do what ever. it won't stop a certain section of fans disrupting silences, singing songs others might not agree with etc.
King Billys statue makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up everytime I walk around the corner to it. The Supporters Club have just brought a bronze bust of Charles for the West Stand.
As for Man Utd/Leeds - what goes around comes around on both sides. We are both as bad as one another.
