Kewell Signs For Galatasaray, Leeds Fans Not Best Pleased. Quite Rightly IMHO

[Lady Whistledown]

PS weren't Leeds fans absolutely filthy towards Kewell when he moved to Liverpool?

What loyalty does he owe them??

 

[Herman the Tosser]

How precious of Leeds fans: by the same logic, no Italian should ever sign for Liverpool because of the Heysel disaster.

I doubt any Juventus player will ever sign directly to Liverpool after Heysel.

You are getting confused about nationality and the club people play for. CONCENTRATE.

Leeds fans are just professional bleaters.

Ian Rush?

I bet Starry will have a few words to say on the matter.

You think?

Why should Harry Kewell refuse to join a club because a FEW of its fans were involved in a crime.

How many Albion fans down the years have been arrested for a crime. I bet there've even been a few murderers or two who have supported the Albion. Oh dear, better tell professional players not to sign for us then as we are a CRIMINAL CLUB!

I'm so tired of this bearing grudges rubbish... grow up and start living in the real world.

I dunno. I reckon it would leave a nasty taste if it was Brighton involved. If Brighton were to play a team whose fans constantly attacked and threatened the Brighton fans to the point where two Brighton fans were stabbed and killed for no other reason than being Brighton fans, we'd all be up in arms, no? We'd hold a grudge against that team, no? Particularly if those opposing fans delighted in making throat slitting gestures at us, no?

Now, I know that it's an old truism in football that the only ones loyal in the game are the fans, but even so, after an incident and experience like that is it too much to feel that maybe, just maybe, a bond had been forged between players and fans in relation to the rival club at least? So if a player who played in that game-twenty four hours after two people had been murdered after travelling across europe just to watch you play-then signed for the team that murdered those fans I would feel let down, or possibly even betrayed, by that player. Is that really being pathetic and petty?

Maybe not if it was recent and if the things you state in the first parargarph were the case.... which they were not. Are Galatasaryat fans... sorry Turkish fans often 'rightly' in trouble for bad behaviour.... yes....... is this sort of thing (i.e. murder) common.. no... it there a particular grudge against Leeds.. no... I seem to remember the club were very contrite about the whole issue (more so, than the football federation and police who were wankers).

But we are talking six years ago and a player who left Leeds for elsewhere and probably never thought of playing for Galatasaray.... so its a bit rough to blame Harry.

Voice of reason as always Starry.

 

[London Calling]

He didn't stab them personally did he?!

It probably means something to him, but he shouldnt turn down a team just because of a few fans and one incident.

and in fact if he is clued up, he can use the past, to highlight the common bonds between people and football supporters and not the differences.

Top tip. Arrange for a plague for the Leeds supporters and put a Keweel shirt there.

PLAGUE or PLAQUE LC? Either will do.....

Plague on Leeds supporters would be the most favourable. Good spot?
