Leeds cheating

[Filo]

Watching sky sports news and on the headline banner says
Leeds are to speak to Bielsa and remind him of the integrity and honesty which are the foundations that Leeds is built on !!
What a joke !!

As much as orange hair is undervalued.

I also thought I wrote this just so I could write Bielsa-bub !

Shocked that you missed the opportunity to add soemthing about seeing a little silhouetto of a man, but you might feel it doesn't really matter to you.

Call me a doctor my sides are splitting! Cheating c**nts, always have been, always will be.

[roversdude]

First club I think of when I hear integrity and honesty......not

[Donnywolf]

I always think of Leeds City first - then United

[albie]

One thing no-one has commented on......they have probably been doing this all season!

The only reason you would do this is to gain a competitive advantage.
So how many points has it been worth up to now?

Not likely Derby was a first offence, is it?

[Draytonian III]

If the vermin from Elland Road do get promoted to the promised land in May ,it will be quite entertaining to watch them struggle next season,because no way are they going to able to compete with the top dozen or do teams in the Premiership.
Hopefully they don’t get automatic promotion and have to go via the play off route and loose on penalties,or get hammered in the semi final. Vermin

I am guessing that this was not their first offence

I am guessing that lots of Clubs do this.

I am unsure as to why you can see into some Training Grounds if they dont want people to look in ? If the "spy" was on public land then all the more reason to cover up with hedges / screens / fences surely ?


I am not a Leeds fan (far from it) but their crime is being rumbled I suppose although again if the "spy" is on public land how is that a "crime"

[sha66y]

Now that this is out there and undoubtedly a “ news-worthy” item , will we see or hear about teams practicing set pieces one way for the unwanted interlopers......but actually executing these set pieces differently on the day....

Mmmmm I feel I have given this subject far too much gravity and attention....

I wonder whether we do the spying as well.

[Campsall rover]

There must be loads of clubs doing this.
Who is to say Rovers haven’t spy’d on other clubs training.
If your outside the perimeter fence your not doing anything wrong.
Whole thing is a nonesense really.
But as some of you despise Leeds so much it becomes not only a crime but immoral.
Personally I think it is a bit of a joke as i don’t see what can be learnt from a distance and through binoculars it is almost laughable.
In South America it is normal to spy on the opposition.
If Leeds thought they were doing something illegal then the spy wouldn’t have had LUFC clothing on would he. Don’t think so.

when i was a lad there were books on spying openly for sale called I-spy 

personally i think Derby were "negligent" you might not be able to stop a drone with a camera but you can take common sense precautions for privacy.

According to one Sunday paper Bill Shankley and Bob Paisley thought it OK to do it.

How dare they do this dastardly thing.
Well it gave the media something to talk about. Storm in a tea cup.

[GazLaz]

Bielsa rumoured to be resigning. I can’t believe it myself but he is very temperamental so wouldn’t be shocked.

[mugnapper]

Unscheduled Bielsa Press Conference at 5pm. This could get interesting and amusing!

[Colemans Left Hook]

funny thing is that Phil vickery South American expert said a long while ago his teams alway start off very well and fade away second half of the season - I was thinking about that when Leeds wobbled recently
I wonder if any teams have ever put a microphone in the away teams dressing room. - Makes you wonder if the big teams ever have a techo do a sweep for bugs -- things to look forward to in the future maybe ??

Anyone else following this.?

Brexit will be resolved before he gets to the f**king point.!!

I would not be surprised  at anything these days - and that is quite a credible suggestion

They must have lip readers as well - otherwise why would they suddenly start discussing things behind their hands UNLESS they too had been watching the Oppositions discussions

[ravenrover]

Really, who gives  flying f@#k, really! Is it worse than a player throwing himself to the ground for a penalty, or a fullback creeping 20 yards forward at a throw in or a goalie taking an eternity to take a goal kick in the last minute when you are looking for an equaliser?
I know which of these gets my blood boiling and it aint some Johnny English sat in a ditch watching a team training

[idler]

Well said Raven. Let's try to get some honesty back on the pitch.
22 players playing hard and fair trying to win a game. What could be better than that?

exactement mon ami   

did we all see the foreign managers on sky who admitted  "the practise is common place in Europe "    give a thought to all the players who a manager literally sent to Coventry - and want away from a club and how easy their tongues are liberated.

remember this gem

https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11668/2388407/gallas-made-own-goal-threat


Tony Pulis even said he would ring local reporters for info - just hope the football correspondent of the "free press" isn't as free as it name suggests in passing on info 



now for the Brexit (EU) angle

If other European clubs don't punish teams this country formerly known as England can't   .... so stop digging

remember we might be getting an EU directive on height of letter boxes but their is currently no EU directive on  "non"watching training sessions

[albie]

Well, you know what they say about Leopards changing their spots:

Seriously, this has been dragging on for 12 years, and the football authorities still can't bring them to book.
What sort of message does that send?

[Chris Black come back]

It is all they know. Morally bankrupt.

[selby]

  They had no morals when they were formed,they were only formed because the original owner wanted to buy Huddersfield and move the club to Weeds in the 1920's, and have had no morals since.

[Drover]

Thats because it's was no surprise,German fokkers have been spotted doing spying missioons before!

I agree with much of what you say Brian but the above. Sorry way out of line.
Most clubs try to bend rules to their advantage don’t they. As Rigo says in his post far worse goes on.
If you think Leeds are different to other clubs you are widely off the mark.
Doesn’t make skulduggery right of course but come on it’s the game that needs sorting out.
