Must say that on the highlights, from the (not very helpful) camera angle, I thought Bodin went down very easily - but there was not the remotest sign of protest from the defender who committed the foul, nor his team mates. So you must be right.

They didn't even flinch, but if there was something riding on the game for them we might well have seen some protests. Anyway, it looked a pen on the night to me and I've seen nothing since to change my mind.

I always regarded that song as reserved for when we play Burnley and refers to life in general rather than football

I don’t want to get into yet another argument about this but, trust me, it has been sung at way more places than Burnley and was only sung when winning. If it was sung about life in general, the irony would be even more startling.

Anyways as I have said I am not going into yet another argument (can’t say debate because some don’t understand the concept) I remain of the same stance. There are a lot of things I don’t like but have to tolerate and I’m sure that goes for each and everyone of us.
 
Blimey, from what I can gather this Leeds fan only logged on initially to ask people's opinions about the match - he probably wishes he hadn't bothered now and the responses from some PNE fans on here are getting downright embarrassing. Are we seriously getting involved in childish arguments about what songs grown men/women can and have sung to other grown men/women at a football match? Jeeeezzz.

There is no argument so far as I can see. Jeeeeez poor Leeds fan who only came on for an opinion and was still here this morning 3 days later! You both know this is meant to be a Preston forum don’t you?

Ah but what you don’t know is, that poster likes to sing “we are superior” to other teams, so it’s a bit rich in a double standards kind of way, don’t you think? Moral is if you don’t want us to believe everything we see or read about you lot, practice what you preach.

But I do act in accordance with what I say, Joan. I'm not sure I "preach" about anything. This discussion started (on another thread) because you stated that Leeds supporters could not be so "pleasant", merely because we "attached" ourselves to Leeds United FC. I thought this was a ridiculous statement, and said so. You also said you would be happy if we all carried on marching to the end of the world (or words to that effect). I explained to you exactly why I support Leeds United. I do not practice "double standards", if that is what you are trying to accuse me of. I won't comment on the other poster, because I don't know him/her. You will note I have framed the quote about you being "holier than thou" as a question. You do know the difference between a statement and a question, don't you? I have not called you "holier than thou". Your fellow PNE supporter did that. I do not know you well enough to make such a statement. Just as you do not know either me or thousands of my fellow Leeds United supporters well enough to decide we are all "not so pleasant". I take people as I find them. I try to get to know someone (whichever team they support), before I decide whether I like them or not, whether I think they are "pleasant" or not. You appear to have already made your mind up, Joan, in relation to Leeds United supporters. I hope you will change your mind, Joan, and reconsider. All the best.

You are quite right, Verloc. Fans of a certain age will recall that Leeds were denied a certain penalty in the first half and in the second half a goal, which to this day, nobody really knows the reason as to why it was disallowed. Leeds were undoubtedly cheated out of the 1975 European Cup Final as they were cheated out of the 1973 European Cup Winners' Cup against AC Milan. They were maybe hated in the late 60s and the early to mid 70s but they were a class outfit full of wonderful players. However as you state, it is time to move on with the aforementioned chant.

Thank you for that sensible, well-informed post, Mr Weller.

This is correct. I originally contributed to a thread on a PNE forum entitled "Leeds". I also contributed to the thread that discussed the PNE v Leeds game. I have posted on here before, and no one has raised any objections, as far as I am aware. If this is a PNE supporters only forum, I am sure I will be told, and I will not post again.

I did openly admit and apologise for using the word “attach” on the other thread. I also said on that same thread that I may have been wrong about Leeds fans, now I know you saw those posts because you have responded. Nevertheless you have seen fit to ignore my comments on that thread and rake it up again on this one.

To be fair, you are more polite than some of our fans but, I don’t understand what more you are looking for on this forum when you could and should be either on your own or, at least your next opposition forum.

I did see your later comments on the other thread. I saw them, read them and absorbed them. I did not ignore them. I did not feel the need to respond to them. Just as I do not feel the need to respond to many other posts on here. I am not "looking" for anything. I have responded to certain posts that are clearly addressed to, or intended for, me. Believe it or not, I am able to post on more than one forum, at any given point in time. On some of them, I and other posters, even talk about football.

You did respond actually! Now I will leave you to it. Please feel free to put me on ignore.

Did I? OK. I could not remember. I am happy to now leave things on this thread. I think I have said all I want to say, and I am sure other posters will read and draw their own conclusions or form their own opinions on what they have read.

Agree 100% it is quite embarrassing isn't it

If you come on saying nice things about PNE, like a few Bristol City fans do, you'll probably be OK.
 
There was no argument about a song. I will explain because people obviously don’t bother to read properly. I was called “holier than thou” on another thread. The Leeds fan brought it to this thread, I was pointing out that one of our fans calling me that is a bit rich and ironic when he sings “superior”. It is a valid point whether you like it or not and I will defend myself. Feel free to put me on ignore if that embarrasses you I don’t care.

I was quite impressed with Leeds on Tuesday night despite their injury crisis. They were far better than the team that played us earlier at Elland Road. No 45 looked a real talent and overall Leeds passed the ball better than us. A soft penalty and a couple of good saves from Rudd swung the match in our favour imo. I will put a bet on them making at least the playoffs next season.

Did you actually go to the game, Leeds were seriously poor.

Ekuban number 45 is derided by Leeds fans for his complete lack of ability. Hernandez and Dallas were their only 2 decent outfield players. (Saiz when he came on)

That squad has won 2 of its last 19 games, is managed by a nobody and spent all the money they received from the Chris Wood transfer. What on Earth makes you think theyll be a playoff side next year?

Who are you to gatekeep who can and can’t post on this forum? We’ve got regular posters from Bristol, Burnley, Barnsley. The guys been nothing but respectful since he’s started posting as far as I can see.

Yeh, but Joan hates all Leeds fans, so it doesn’t matter if the guy has been respectful or not.
