Leeds United – Twitter Round Up – Final Game

There is something vitriolic about Leeds United fans, not all of us mind, just some. The fallout and hounding of players from the ‘Case of the Suspect Six’ aka ‘Injury-Gate’ continues with every Tweet any of them dare to put up on Twitter.

First up is the following status from Sofia Jamal (@Sofiajamaled), fianceé of Leeds United keeper Marco Silvestri.

The responses to this status update, replete with a picture taken from the stands, are pretty tame compared to others littered around players’ statuses previously. The responses range from a sardonic and mocking “are you both there?”, through a cheeky “Marco not in the pub?” to a more scathing yet quite reserved “Why didn’t he do the lap of honour? Coward that’s why.”

After recent events and Twitter fallouts, Marco Silvestri himself decided to stay quiet.

Mirco Antenucci didn’t. Which caused the more vitriolic of Leeds fans to dance in joy like someone with Tourettes walking barefoot across a bubbling lava stream. All it takes is a few words and the Father Jack-style foaming begins.

Typical responses to this tweet include the questioning, “why didn’t you walk out at the end you hairy b*****ks”, to the mildly ascerbic “your tweet is so obviously designed to create friction. You are showing zero respect to redders or our club. Pack it in dick ed” and the quite blunt “F**K OFF COWARD”.

Whilst it doesn’t look good that the players themselves are taking to Twitter to tweet about the club, it’s their Twitter and all that. Yes some of it is ill-advised and would benefit from a little nudge from someone with a more fluent command of English and its nuances to say “pssst, mate, I’d reword that to….”. Regarding the fan’s comments in reply to the Twitter status updates; yes we are all a little disappointed at events surrounding the ‘Suspect Six’ but that doesn’t give us the right to go Swear Level DefCon5 on them – swearing at a level and intensity that would make someone with Tourette’s Syndrome blush.

Who is to blame? You can’t blame the players, they say how they find it. You can’t really blame the fans, we react to what we see – we wear our heart on our sleeve at Leeds United. So who can we blame? I blame those running the club, the smoke-and-mirrors approach the hidden hierarchy take.

See, those running the club take a ‘Treat ’em Like Mushrooms’ approach to the fans; they keep us in the dark and feed us on a steady stream of s**t.

I’m not sure about you but I am sick of it. How much longer can we have someone urinate in our faces and still convince us that it is raining.

On a final gripe, lay off Antenucci, Silvestri et al because, if it hadn’t have been for their goals and saves, some of you would not sound as smug laughing and singing about Millwall’s demise into League One football
