I cannot believe that we have put in an official complaint about Millwall fans singing about Turkey , especially since you can still hear the airplane song when you mingle with Leeds fans. Yes it is disgusting but should we really be making an issue of it ? If we really are offended by it then bringing this to others fans attention will make it worse a la Dave Jones and the peado chants ?
When you add that to the, yet another, 11 minutes for Gary Speed , this time at Newcastle we do appear to becoming Liverpool. I was as upset as anyone when I heard about Gary Speed, especially when it seemed to be suicide due to depression (a friend of mine recently killed himself and my wife also suffers with depression so it is close to my heart) but firstly the coroner did not conclude that it was suicide and there was no evidence that he ever suffered from depression Secondly to put Speed in the 'Leeds legend' category is a stretch (OK compared to the Yorkshire Post 'legend' Brendon Ormsby he is) he was a good player who gave us a few good years but without his early death and the circumstances around it he would just be another decent player who would not normally get a mention So to me all the songs etc are well over the top Sorry if any of this upsets anyone - it is not my intention to be argumentative or controversial but the hypocrisy around the Turkey chants and the Gary Speed stuff really gets to me at times Dave _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
