Dirty Leeds

[Hermit Crab]

Leeds sent a spy to Derby's training ground and they ended up getting lifted. :faf:

Ooft, that's embarrassing.

What's the betting he says he went there on his own volition.

[we are hibs]

Still despise leeds even now. Such a classless club.

[Jack]

Still despise leeds even now. Such a classless club.

Me too.

[Pretty Boy]

Still despise leeds even now. Such a classless club.

On the bright side 2 defeats in a row suggests their now annual implosion has started early this year.

[worcesterhibby]

Leeds and Rangers, top of my dislike pile. always pleased to see Leeds fail.

[hibsbollah]

I like Bielsa a lot.
I wonder how widespread this sort of thing is?

[One Day Soon]

Gagging for Leeds back in the top league. Set about some of these fancy dan clubs proper style.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Super spies, Super club, Super fans, Super Leeds






marching on together :cb

[norhfc]

wee soft spot for Leeds since the 70s when they had mostly Scottish players. mind getting the old Admiral white top with the blue and yellow vertical stripe down the front. The height of fashion back in the day.

Probably happens all the time

I think you're right. Id also imagine youd have to stay a long time to really understand the teams planned tactics.

[Tinribs]

I wonder what their definition of "acting suspiciously" is? Raincoat, trilby and sunglasses perhaps lol

[Billy Whizz]

I think you're right. Id also imagine youd have to stay a long time to really understand the teams planned tactics.

I remember a few years ago, we were due to play St Johnstone at Tynecastle in the League Cup semi on the Saturday
On the Friday I was at a funeral in Perth, and went back to McDairmid Park for the the after gathering. Walked through a door and Saints were practicing corners etc, set plays. As soon as someone saw me I was ushered back inside. But anyone could have looked in from the corners to see what they were doing

[silverhibee]

I think you're right. Id also imagine youd have to stay a long time to really understand the teams planned tactics.

Probably more to see team shaping and who will be in starting 11, most clubs will have the starting 11 against another 11 day before a game, might get to see that and any set pieces they might do.

[GillyHibee]

Is this sort of thing against the rules though? I can imagine it must happen to a lot of teams, but never seen any caught!

[Here’s Lucy!]

I've always liked Leeds United.

They were hard, not dirty, imo.

You have got to be kidding. Team of absolute cloggers however who were also an amazing team in the 70s under Revie.

Cloggers? Like Giles and Eddie Gray? Like Lorimer and Allan Clarke?

They had two, maybe three, very uncompromising defenders, that's all.

Doesn't make the whole team 'dirty".

And, you're dead right, they were an amazing team under Revie.

Love Leeds & all the great Scots that played there once, thy helped to make the Scottish International team winners.

Giles was one of the dirtiest players in the league. Cloggers like Madelely, Reaney, Bremner, Hunter, Charlton, Giles, Jones in fact through them all in they all could kick. :greengrin

Watch the replay of the Chelsea Leeds cup final.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Did Leeds not use dirty tactics to knock Hibs out Europe during the era they were dominating English football? Before my time but sure my old man said they were up to no good during the game?

bizarre :agree: cloggers don't win european finals and league titles/cups, fantastic footballing side

[Leith Green]

Probably not against the rules of football as such , more a criminal offence of trespassing id say.

Thank you :aok:

That's what I was trying to say.

It's an urban myth that the brilliant Leeds team were dirty back then.

Folk. Jumping. Bandwagons, all spring to mind.

[weecounty hibby]

They were a great side but they definitely weren't shy in puting the boot in if necessary, sometimes when not! I think that Revies, and the players, win at all costs attitude and the bribery accusations are what some folk still remember

[Lago]

:aok:
:thumbsup: Bremner, Lorimer, Harvey, Eddie and Frank Gray etc. etc.

[The 90+2]

Dirty Leeds to win tonight. Lampard will never make being a manager.

Enjoy :thumbsup:

Leeds robbed of a penalty.

[hibsbollah]

Roofe goal, 1-0 Leeds. 70%+ possession, as usual.

Bielsa owns up and apologises for the spying, but says 'Without trying to find a justification, I have been using this kind of practice since the qualifications for the World Cup with Argentina. This is not illegal, we have been doing it publicly, we talk about it in the press, for some people it is the wrong thing, for others it’s not.”

Good. Get an advantage over opponents any means possible. He’s a winner.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Leeds were very easy on the eye the first 45, movement is brilliant :agree:

[hibsbollah]

Their press is ferocious. Must be a nightmare for a defender trying to pass the ball out.

2-0, and that will be that ...i think

[Iggy Pope]

Have they not been skelped three on the trot?

mere blips

[KdyHby]

2 0 up, think we've done our homework on them 😉

[we are hibs]

Disgusting from the leeds goalie there

[Callum_62]

Absolutely mental the ref didnt give a pen and a red card for the keeper there

If that was against Hibs I would be screaming for a penalty and red card.

[cabbageandribs1875]

exhibition stuff

[SteveHFC]

Leeds are great to watch.

[cabbageandribs1875]

clarke will bring in a few million eventually

[cabbageandribs1875]

shouldn't be many points dropped for leeds in their next 6 fixtures :)

[McD]

:agree:

Keeper was looking right at the striker when he kicked out

[cabbageandribs1875]

well deserved 3 points :agree:

Jack Clarke looks like a special talent very impressive

I don't know much about their players, but that number 4 looks a player, classic Bielsa, get a midfielder in defence and get him to spray the passes about.

Well Jim, I beg to differ, but for the sake of peace, let's agree to disagree! :aok:

[IWasThere2016]

I can't see the fuss.. if Derby knew they were spied on why not change things?!?

I love Leeds as a place and hope they come up to the Prem. Especially, as I've a number of bets on them 😁

Yeah, just change the entire weeks work and make the injured players fit again. Easy.

[BS44]

Sportsound yesterday Biscuits said that he done something similar the week before Livingston beat us in the 2004 League Cup Final. Neither Hibs or Livingston had a league game the previous weekend Hibs arranged a closed door game at ER. He was told about the game, went to ER though he didn't say how he got in, and watched the match sitting in the stand.

I know! What's the issue? ;-)

[Swedish hibee]

I honestly still don't get what the problem is? I cannot believe folk want them stripped of points!!

Folk are biased towards Leeds United.

[Lancs Harp]

Talking of Leeds I see Phil Masinga has died after a battle against cancer. He was only 49. He played for Leeds for a couple of seasons in the mid 90s and was a regular for South Africa.

No age at all.

RIP
