[WTF11]

Leeds Utd [MB] admit sending a guy to watch the opposition from a public footpath - result - EFL/FA decide an inquiry into this heinous lack of gentlemanly conduct [As they haven't actually broken any rules] is needed, and 11 of our closest opponents seek to gain a points advantage to help their own personal cause in the pursuit of the PL..by submitting a signed letter - going as far as to demand we lose points...thus helping them to get closer to the top..[That of course doesn't count as ungentlemanly conduct or whatever they are trying to do us under]...
Meanwhile across the Penines the Mighty reds decide to clear the oppositions penalty area of snow at half time but leave their own covered in the stuff... thus trying to gain an unfair advantage I assume? and the Premier League, FA et-al have done what? ....errrrr Diddly squat of course - made a few lines in the back of today's paper and that's it.

One rue for everybody else and a whole rule book for LUFC.

Fair play to our Yorkshire rivals by the way - I am told that neither the Blades or the Owls signed the "letter" against us [I have even heard Wilder state on TV he didn't understand the fuss and thought the powers that be should concentrate on real issues like diving / time wasting etc. - Good on the man.

You're not surprised, surely?

Years of this kind of hypocrisy on the part of ALL footballing authorities when the issue relates to Leeds makes the current "situation" simply par for the course. All we can hope for/expect is that where there is the possibility of challenging FA/EFL stupidity that the club takes it, and does so intelligently (as opposed to the "a la Cellino" strategy of blowing your own feet off with both barrels of the metaphorical shotgun!).

More than that, in particular any shift of the authorities towards handling matters in an even-handed fashion, forget it!
