Saw the video. Nothing to it really. Just handbags. Nowt compared to Hunter v Lee. Anyone remember that great footage of Jack Charlton chasing an Italian player around the pitch that he wanted to knock into next week? That was classy!

For someone who whinges relentlessly about LUFC you love name calling folk, then whinge a bit more if someone calls you something like a complete pillock or r sole..which i will refrain from.
In most peoples view..of the video you watched and the comments on twitter (including Rhyl fans who attended) it was Rhyl acting like a division 5 sunday pub team
Carlos Corberan on twitter "We are always going to represent Leeds United with the correct behaviours and values. Proud of my players today in the way they conducted themselves"
The Welsh Daily Post-
Rhyl FC fans have blasted their team’s behaviour with some saying they are ashamed of their hometown club after a friendly match escalated into a mass on-pitch brawl.
Hundreds took to social media to express their disgust after players from Leeds United’s under-23s team and Rhyl FC’s first team clashed.
I haven't seen anywhere Leeds being blamed for this.
But hey don't let that stop you knocking Leeds whose young team happened to stand up to some "could have been a star" thugs
I wish, just for once, that you would take the blinkers off when reading one of my posts.
None of my posts on this thread have mentioned "blame", thats your speciality. I referred only to potential consequences. Since when has it been the case that Leeds United have been treated fairly and even-handedly by the footballing authorities, no matter who our owner was/is, nor the incident that might have brought the club to the attention of those authorities, nor what others might say as to who should and shouldn't be held responsible?
I don't "tweet" so Corberans comment isn't something I'm aware of, but if a club official makes such a statement, and that is seen by the FA/FL alongside footage of young Leeds players swapping punches with a bunch of beer-bellied nonentities, I suspect a dim view will be taken, which may have consequences, CONSEQUENCES, NOT BLAME!!!!
Do I think bullies ought to be confronted, the h3ll yes. Do I think that in doing so, there is a chance that Leeds might be tarred with the same brush as the bullies who were confronted, THE H3LL YES!
No blame game, nor ANY knocking (try finding such a thing!!) of the Leeds U23 players, just mild concern that the lads behaviour, when applauded by a club official, and coming on the back of the scenes at ER during and after the Boro game, might result in something we would prefer not to happen, clear enough?
Would like to see the young lads with baseball bats and knuckle dusters for their next game...
Nice bit of research Whitestomper. Try and gather the facts first before giving knee-jerk reactions - fully suggest certain others should inwardly digest take heed for future reference...
