    SL suggesting that deciding promotions and relegations based on current position wouldn’t be really kosher.
    I get what he’s saying - but it was always bound to wind Leeds fans up.
    I’d take promotion however it was served up, but there would always be an asterisk against 2019-20 season in the history books, which would diminish the ‘achievement’.
    I’d still take it mind......

    As you've decided to bring this up on our forum, I've decided to post my reply to you on here too, just for balance.

    Had a spare few minutes, so had a look into this, he said it would be a "hollow victory", guess what,most Leeds fans have said pretty much the same, the vast majority, want the season played out, if not then ppg , if not that then standings as they are, because no matter what happens there needs to be promotion and relegation.
    Now with regard to us getting upset at his comments, when you said "you lot" I thought you meant the good folk on here,but no,no mention of it,my usual perusal of MOT forum, waccoe and the Scratching Shed, guess what, not one post about it, that's 4 fan sites and the only person to bring it up is you, hardly think we're getting upset do you?
    Then I take a look at a few papers and yes,there are a couple of hand fulls of quotes from twitter responding to his comments but I wouldn't worry, there is more of a backlash on there when one of our ex players, usually Mills or Whelan come out with something. Interestingly though,there were just as many replies from West Brom fans who you seem to have forgot to mention on your crusade, interesting comment from one " he's only upset because we thrashed them, doubt he'd be as outspoken if they were in the top 6".
    So there you have it,it appears that it's about 20 users of Twitter both Leeds and West Brom and you that are interested in this, with you trying to make something of nothing, as with regard Lansdowne irritating us all the time,other than spygate and Nketiah choosing us,I cant recall anything else he's ever said. Are you sure it's not you that's obsessed and trying to create something that's not really there.

    I have google configured to display any press links which mention Bristol City.
    Last night this one popped up:

    https://www.leeds-live.co.uk/sport/leeds-united/leeds-united-bristol-city-lansdown-18319449

    I seem to have touched a nerve this time by referring to Leeds fans in general as 'you lot'.
    I don't post on their board much but a few times when I have done I've had the 'you're obsessed with us' response - or worse on other occasions - it really can be quite a hostile place to go. I get a more welcoming response from the Cardiff board on the rare occasions that I post there - I can't remember being classed as 'obsessed' over there.
    It reminds me of a girl I knew at primary school, back in the 70s, who was so up herself she was convinced that any boy who spoke to her fancied her and wanted to go out with her, so any lad who did speak to her for any reason got a very public brush-off <laugh>
    I won't bother posting over there any more for a while - I need to go 'cold turkey' to cure my 'obsession' ......... <laugh><laugh><laugh>

    I thought we'd sorted it quite amicably this morning. Obviously not. Shame.

    But you came on our site looking for a rise, why else post something like that, you got the above reply, which I don't think is any where near hostile, you admitted you were 5 pints in and probably should have done more research, do you think you can post stuff like that and not get a reply, now you post this. Still waiting for you to show us all the other times we've got upset over his comments.

    Don't worry about hostility, you want to read the Covid thread, and they're all Leeds fans and mates.

    Gessa.

    R&W is a well known troublemaker on our board, always stirring the pot.

    Ask him about Lee Johnson's playing career.

    He can't spell nepotism either.

    Tbf mate I was a little shocked when he said about hostility toward yourselves, I've only been on this board a couple of years but have never seen any toward any of your fans, neither here or the MOT forum,where we've shared a few very amiable posts over the years, the Norman Hunter one being the latest. I suppose it takes all sorts.

    Anyway, good luck for when it all resumes.

    Ok I’ll bite
    there were reactions on the various chat rooms to these comments by SL:
    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/46920758
    I really can’t be arsed to search all the Leeds chat rooms or local press clippings but trust me there was an (understandable) reaction to his words.
    There was more ‘banter’ across the various chat rooms regarding Nketa but again I really can’t be arsed to spend ages looking to find it.
    I meant no insult on your board. I never once reiterated SLs comments or tried to justify them yet I seemed to have somehow insulted you.
    The ‘5 pints in’ comment was throwaway attempt to be friendly - I’d not had 5 pints, but I had also not done any research - all I did was react to a newspaper article which quoted Leeds fans as being angered by SLs comments and posted it just before going to bed.
    If my bemused fellow reds wonder what this is about then go over to the Leeds board and read it. It was hardly bruising for a fight.
    Anyway, I hadn’t intended to upset anyone but clearly did.
    As for Redprintt; he manages to twist almost every thread on here into an attack on our current manager and his ‘silver-spooned’ and ‘undeserved’ career.

    Hostility to ME not to anyone else.
    I’ve been shot down a number of times on your board when I wasn’t expecting it. Not many I admit because I don’t post often - and not always either, but I joined in a couple of debates over the years, said my piece and been told that I talk crap or similar.
    Perhaps I have an overly aggressive typing style which winds people up?
    Anyway, I’ll lie low for a bit.....

    To be fair I’ve never had any problems with Leeds fans on here, I use to post over their a lot in the past and got on with most of them just taking the piss out of the Millwall fans that use to constantly live on their forum.

    I personally would rather the season be played out properly than ppg and other nonsense as we have a real chance of finishing top 6

    Well apparently the Premiership is going to restart on 17th June, so maybe the Championship will follow suit?
    Premier League set to restart on 17 June with Man City v Arsenal and Villa v Sheff Utd

    As I said to you on our forum no one was upset or looking for a fight, just replying to your post, do you expect to go on an oppositions forum post something and not recieve a reply, no one insulted or was rude to you. You seem to have a problem with someone replying to you, if they don't agree. Any of your fellow reds are more than welcome to look at the post and see for themselves, it is on the 'Finishing the season thread' if any of you do and think I was rude or abusive then I'll apologise. I think being upset is strong too, You said Lansdowne had upset us again, but other than a few twitter posts from ours and West Brom fans, which most were banter,not offensive no one really seemed bothered whatsoever.
    Tbh, if you've been offended by my post to you, may I suggest you stay off other fans forums, as my reply was extremely mild to what others post in reply to opposition fans.

    They're still there, but tbf to them, they give and take and it's done mostly tongue in cheek..I believe a couple of them came to ER for a game a few seasons back and they and a few of ours met up for a few beers, as it should be.

    I think this has blown out of all proportion. I didn’t mean to offend anyone - and nobody is offended, I’m not offended, you’re not offended, so everything must be ok - except that you are telling me not to post on any other teams forum.
    Understood.

    Over and out.

    Don't worry R&W, there's nothing wrong with the Leed's board, though it's not for the faint hearted or easily offended. I've posted loads on there over the years and have had some great chat with the local whippet chasers and many from all over the world that follow the club, but you've got to be pretty thick skinned and give as good as you get.

    Not been on there at all recently due to the lockdown but I assume they haven't changed. You're lucky only Gessa challenged you as he's one of the sensible ones.......<laugh>

    It can get a bit boisterous on times but it's all tongue in cheek. Pre Bielsa, the season they had Christiansen and then Heckingbottom as managers was an absolute classic for banter - it was also the season we went up to the Prem........<laugh><laugh>

    The mods are great and let it flow - their also very forgiving unless your name is Glory......<whistle> One big problem they have is they tend to live in the past and still think they're a BIG club........<laugh>

    I'm not telling you anything , you came over as though you were offended. It's up to you what you do.
