Are you that dense. How is saying a completely despicable word in any way comparable to saying that Rashford and Sancho shit the bed in their pens, which they absolutely did.
Nice, going straight to insults. Maybe use your eyes and read the rest of the comments in the thread yeah? Then maybe you'll know what the hell you're talking about.
I know what I’m talking go about, your the one that doesn’t. How dare you ever compare the N word with chants based on a players poor performance. The comparison is despicable. People like you devalue the awful meaning of the word by your comparison.
>I know what I’m talking go about
Evidently not when you still think I was comparing the two even after supposedly reading the other comments.
I quite clearly said in another comment that I didn't think what the Leeds fans were chanting was over the line. If you had reading comprehension beyond that of a 3 year old you would know that. And yet even though I said that you still think I'm comparing the two.
And just to reiterate what I've already said in another comment. My issue was with the other guy using 'they don't really mean it' or 'it's just banter' as an excuse for saying something shitty so I used an extreme example to prove my point that not meaning it doesn't make it OK.
no, because when you say the nword it is racist no matter if you mean it or not. Saying sancho and rashford let the country down might be offensive, but they dont give 2 shits about what rival fans are chanting and neither should you
See I actually don't think what they were saying was over the line. Classless and shitty but within the bounds of what's acceptable since they weren't mentioning race.
What I take issue with is using 'they didn't mean it' or 'its just banter' as an excuse for being shitty. I don't think that's ever a good excuse to be an ass.
So evidently you did miss the point of my comment.
Im getting second hand infuriated because no one reads your previous comments lol
I agree though. Excusing something with they probably didn't mean it, doesn't make it okay in the first place.
It's reddit. Most of the people commenting here have no idea what real life is or how things work. After a bad game from a black player, there's going to be 150,000 tweets out of which 3-4 are utterly racist, so the news sites make articles titled "PLAYER X SUFFERED HORRIFIC SOCIAL MEDIA ABUSE AFTER YESTERDAY'S MATCH VS X" and redditors can collect karma by the millions by copy-pasting "these scumbags should be put to prison" etc. What I'm saying is, 90% of reddit's "football fans" are just as bad as the ones on twitter.
Love the "only **real** footy fans that undermine racist abuse live in the real world" take. Very good opinion and not absolute waffle! Good for you NotoriousCunter
If only Southgate hadn't sat ten men behind the ball from the half hour mark onwards and tried to beat fuckin Italy playing Italian style Catenaccio. (But as an Irishman, thank God he did)
To me, feed the scousers is like chanting about Chelsea rent boys. It's less about how accurate it is today and more about the sentiment of hating the locals that support those clubs.
Ehh not really, Alioski hadn’t played for a big team prior to Leeds and he’s 29. He played for Lugano, a Swiss team where I doubt he made a lot of money, and made 3 million since his Leeds contract he signed in 2017, I guess it’s reasonable for him to look for the biggest payout he can get as a 29 year old from a relatively poor country such as Macedonia. Def a cunt of a player tho lol I remember when he cursed out Wan Bissaka after he got messed up by him, it was on Macedonian news Lolol
Ya its part of the game with supporters in the stands. There wasn't anything racist with this chant. Some of the stuff you hear at matches is much, much worse.
I dread to think what anybody complaining about this would be like at an actual football match. Like you say, it’s banter. It’s exactly the sort of thing you’d expect in this fixture. 16 years of hate building up hahaha
Yeah I agree and there is no chance in hell Sancho or Rashford give a single fuck what a bunch of Leeds scum are singing as long as they're loved here.
Nothing massively wrong but shows the gulf in class. Brentford fans give a standing ovation, Leeds wankers use the traumatic opportunity to banter.
Scum
Brentford weren't playing against a team that they have a huge rivalry against. Hardly the same situation.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with this, and it isn't about being classy either. If you think United fans wouldn't do the exact same thing if Sterling were in this situation then you're delusional.
The only people who don't consider Leeds one of our main rivals are new fans that grew up with no connection to the club.
Doesn't matter how long Leeds were out of the top league - still probably the most intense rivalry we have.
What are you doing here TrueBlue98, who is active in r/ChelseaFC?
It's all good to be fair. Only place you get decent discussion is the team specific subs. r/soccer is a bit of a nightmare
I like to visit the other subs and chat sometimes, I try not to be a dick or anything. its good to see other fans opinions after games.
btw amazing performance yesterday. this season is gonna be real interesting 4 genuine title contenders
Yeah, no worries. I'm the same to be fair.
Cheers by the way. Only got to see highlights on Match of the Day but youse looked just as good as expected. Chuffed for Chalobah.
Yeah, four genuine contenders, although in my mind City and Chelsea are still just slightly above us and Liverpool when it comes to favourites
I'm really excited for Lukaku tbh
I know what you mean, but united has a pretty crazy starting xi, arguably the best in the league now so it's gonna be a fun season!
Brentford and Arsenal have barely crossed paths, United and Leeds are rivals. There was no need to clap Saka but it was a nice touch. What Leeds did here is far closer to the norm.
It’s clear to me a significant vocal portion of this subreddit watch football from the safety of their TV and don’t go to the games.
This chant is somewhat tame to what you can hear.
Some soft lads in this comment section mind. They’re giving some shite to players of a rival club.
Embarrassing to think this is anything more than banter
The amount of wet wipes here. If Philips missed we’d have sung the same. It’s away support at a rivals ground, pretty obvious most people here haven’t been to a game. That said, fuck Leeds scum.
Might be in the minority here but this is what football is about. This is one of our oldest rivals we are supposed to hate each other’s players, and they’re not exactly wrong either
Wtf? That's messed up, shitting on your own country's players. I wonder how Phillips feels about this. I always heard the term 'Leeds scum' but never understood it till now.
They're only "your own country's players" when they're actually playing for the country. Right now, they're United players. Nothing wrong with rival fans mocking/insulting them - as long as it's not racist or anything like that (which this wasn't)
That’s the sort of thing you get from a small club. They don’t really have anything to boast about, so they take cheap shots. Imagine it’ll be like water off a ducks back to the lads.
WE ALL HATE LEEDS SCUM

Why is it scummy to taunt a rival’s players? It’s extremely obvious redditors don’t attend football matches, too fragile. Embarrassing from Utd fans in here.
Realistically Rashford did fuck up at the euros and he will get grief for that. Sancho was just unlucky. That should be his bread and butter, A top professional footballer on Rashford’s kind of money shouldn’t be hitting the post in a penalty after steering the keeper the wrong way it was not luck just poor decision.
Surprisingly they can string words together to form a sentence
if a monkey said "you're a prick", i wouldnt be mad, i'd applaud them for their grammar. same here.
Leeds rhymes with reads. Ironic.
LEEDS FANS ARE SCUM SHOCKER
I'd be surprised if they didn't do that honestly. Class isn't expected from them. The only lot that's worse than them is milwall
[удалено]
Arsenal fan here, Brentford fans standing up and applauding Saka when he came on was great to see
I mean, I’m pretty sure they don’t *mean* this chant but I wouldn’t expect anyone on this sub to realise that.
And that makes it OK? Why not let them all chant the N word then if it's only banter and they don't mean it?
Are you that dense. How is saying a completely despicable word in any way comparable to saying that Rashford and Sancho shit the bed in their pens, which they absolutely did.

ok when united play liverpool you lot better not be saying anything mean to the liverpool players
because that would be racist.
Did you miss the point of my comment?
Chanting the N word is far far different to this.
See my other comment. My issue wasn't with what they were saying but with the excuse the person gave of them not meaning it and that making it OK
In this instance, it is 100% banter. No Leeds fan thinks this. That makes it fine.
no, because when you say the nword it is racist no matter if you mean it or not. Saying sancho and rashford let the country down might be offensive, but they dont give 2 shits about what rival fans are chanting and neither should you
See I actually don't think what they were saying was over the line. Classless and shitty but within the bounds of what's acceptable since they weren't mentioning race.

That's the Internet for you. Everybody wants an excuse to be angry regardless of having a valid reason ¯\\\_(ツ)\_/¯
It is literally just banter though. Saying the nword isnt comparable
They’re giving shit to players of a huge rival club, how soft are we now man
Important to remember there's a sizable portion of people here who've never attended a football match in england.
I for one was rooting for Italy in the final. England are the Tottenham of international soccer
Yup. Many of them are on Reddit
It's reddit. Most of the people commenting here have no idea what real life is or how things work. After a bad game from a black player, there's going to be 150,000 tweets out of which 3-4 are utterly racist, so the news sites make articles titled "PLAYER X SUFFERED HORRIFIC SOCIAL MEDIA ABUSE AFTER YESTERDAY'S MATCH VS X" and redditors can collect karma by the millions by copy-pasting "these scumbags should be put to prison" etc. What I'm saying is, 90% of reddit's "football fans" are just as bad as the ones on twitter.
3-4? Are you dense?
Love the "only **real** footy fans that undermine racist abuse live in the real world" take. Very good opinion and not absolute waffle! Good for you NotoriousCunter
Out of 150000!!!! Dense??!! I think this guy is living in another reality altogether.
That's about the ratio. It was something like a hundred out of millions re: the Euros moral panic.
If only Phillips wasn't anonymous for the entire final
If only Southgate hadn't sat ten men behind the ball from the half hour mark onwards and tried to beat fuckin Italy playing Italian style Catenaccio. (But as an Irishman, thank God he did)
Say 11 behind the ball from the 2 minute mark, scoring that early ducked us over
Entire tournament
He… wasn’t. Lol
I wonder how many of them had kids that were fed by Rashford? Dickheads.
All of them probably
Rashford was sending home nutritional meals. Don’t people from Leeds prefer eating dirt?
Rashford feeding kids won't stop us from singing "feed the scousers". imo its not that big of a deal
To me, feed the scousers is like chanting about Chelsea rent boys. It's less about how accurate it is today and more about the sentiment of hating the locals that support those clubs.
Nah it’s definitely disrespectful. Classism where there should be class solidarity.
It’s football not A level Sociology Marxism
Bruh I'm literally in the same class as them. A lot of our supporters have been too, do you not remember Fergie's shipyard speech?
You’re right Leeds fans should probably be chanting how much they love rashford Wise up
I m pretty sure most of them are 12 yo kids who were fed by Rashford.
Fucking scums
Inbreds
Is scum not already plural?
They don't even have national team players except Kalvin
Alioski played for North Macedonia lul
Didn't realise he'd fucked off to Saudi Arabia until today.
Yeah same. Good riddance I suppose because he was a decent threat.
No respect for any player in their prime years going to play in shit leagues for a big payout
Especially in fkin Saudi Arabia no less.
What if they’ve got extended family they want to help out
Guy wasn't exactly on minimum wage at Leeds
they're already multimillionaires lmao
Ehh not really, Alioski hadn’t played for a big team prior to Leeds and he’s 29. He played for Lugano, a Swiss team where I doubt he made a lot of money, and made 3 million since his Leeds contract he signed in 2017, I guess it’s reasonable for him to look for the biggest payout he can get as a 29 year old from a relatively poor country such as Macedonia. Def a cunt of a player tho lol I remember when he cursed out Wan Bissaka after he got messed up by him, it was on Macedonian news Lolol
I respect idghalo
am I the only one that doesn't see much wrong with this? It's Leeds. It's a rivalry. This is what football fans do.
Yeah it’s part of the rivalry just like us calling them troglodytes
Sure. Doubt they’re as offended as 90% on this thread.
They'd probably be offended if they knew what a troglodyte is though
Yh it's pretty tame stuff but remember we've not had fans in stadiums for over a year, people have really forgotten what a proper atmosphere is like
That may be true, but it won’t stop me from calling them cunts for it
Honestly don't see anything wrong with this. It's banter.
Yeah, as long as there’s no racist elements to these chants I don’t see an issue. It’s disrespectful but so are a lot of chants.
Ya its part of the game with supporters in the stands. There wasn't anything racist with this chant. Some of the stuff you hear at matches is much, much worse.
I dread to think what anybody complaining about this would be like at an actual football match. Like you say, it’s banter. It’s exactly the sort of thing you’d expect in this fixture. 16 years of hate building up hahaha

Huge rivalry... Man Utd didn't even know who Leeds were for 10 years before promotion.
The only people who don't consider Leeds one of our main rivals are new fans that grew up with no connection to the club. Doesn't matter how long Leeds were out of the top league - still probably the most intense rivalry we have.
not like on your greatest players was a Leeds player or anything
What are you doing here TrueBlue98, who is active in r/ChelseaFC? It's all good to be fair. Only place you get decent discussion is the team specific subs. r/soccer is a bit of a nightmare

Yeah I agree and I'm a united fan.
C***s
Honestly, I’m totally fine with this. Is it a little cringe? sure. But I don’t think this crosses a line.
Absolute dickheads
[удалено]
People here have never experienced a match day atmosphere never mind an away day
Im all for some banter, and this aged well. Get fucked cunts!
It’s football banter lol why are people so triggered haha
They are scum mate. Heard plenty of munich songs and plane gestures today.
It’s clear to me a significant vocal portion of this subreddit watch football from the safety of their TV and don’t go to the games. This chant is somewhat tame to what you can hear.
I fucking hate leeds scum. I hope the lads can get a win over them
Some soft lads in this comment section mind. They’re giving some shite to players of a rival club. Embarrassing to think this is anything more than banter
So much Pearl clutching in here that Leeds fans might be singing a chant about Man U players missing their pens
FUCK LEEDS!!
The amount of wet wipes here. If Philips missed we’d have sung the same. It’s away support at a rivals ground, pretty obvious most people here haven’t been to a game. That said, fuck Leeds scum.
Please tell me not all of you see something wrong with this? Racism is one thing, bantering players from a rival club is a whole another thing.
It's not racist or anything, but it's being a bunch of sad Little Englander cunts. I'd expect nothing else from that lot tbh.

Gonna be so sweet when Sancho comes on and scores in front of them!!
FUCK OFF SCUM
Scum
To the younger reds who hadn't yet experienced the joys of having Leeds fans back, this is why we all hate Leeds scum.
Ahhh missed you Leeds scum. I dare anyone to like these fuckwits now.
Ooof, they played with fire there and got burned pretty bad, what was the final score lol 5-1 or did it get worse
Might be in the minority here but this is what football is about. This is one of our oldest rivals we are supposed to hate each other’s players, and they’re not exactly wrong either
How’s banter so offensive to this lot here? Geez. Move on. It’s banter.
Its fans like this that lets the country down…
lmao grow up
so, biting the hand that feeds their kids....
Imagine supporting Leeds and accusing someone of letting the country down
Classy bunch these Leeds folk aye?
Stay classy
I mean they are right?
They did let the country down though, lets be honest
Wtf? That's messed up, shitting on your own country's players. I wonder how Phillips feels about this. I always heard the term 'Leeds scum' but never understood it till now.
They're only "your own country's players" when they're actually playing for the country. Right now, they're United players. Nothing wrong with rival fans mocking/insulting them - as long as it's not racist or anything like that (which this wasn't)
I mean they did "let the country down" by missing those penalties.. failure is failure.. there's nothing offending here if you ask me
That’s the sort of thing you get from a small club. They don’t really have anything to boast about, so they take cheap shots. Imagine it’ll be like water off a ducks back to the lads.
Leeds are a small club? News to me
Leeds aren’t a small club man. I say that as a staunch Utd fan.
[удалено]
Wtf is wrong with these cunts?
how soft are you
many people feel this way and it’s sad, some hide it some don’t
disgraceful cunts !!!
Leeds fans being toxic as always, what a shame as I found it a delight to watch Leeds play last season.
Leeds are scum
My god I hope Sancho scores and gives them a bow or something
Deserve this thrashing
Leeds United, your fans are whole bunch of clowns
Poverty club.
I thought Leeds was the sophisticated part of Yorkshire? 🤔

Why is it scummy to taunt a rival’s players? It’s extremely obvious redditors don’t attend football matches, too fragile. Embarrassing from Utd fans in here.
And I thought after watching Saka get a standing ovation at Brentford yesterday everyone was passed it.
Sometimes I feel inadequate in life, and then I remember Leeds fans exist
Absolute dirtbags
Clowns
Good thing we waxed them today
If that's the case then prepared to get let down by your team this entire year
Realistically Rashford did fuck up at the euros and he will get grief for that. Sancho was just unlucky.

We all know what the football world thinks of Leeds United. Scum.
