Leeds throwing away promotion to the big boys league

Not sure why you let it bother you so much, I think a lot of the criticisms of Leeds come about because the media often make a big song and dance about their support.

?????? I don't.
Just giving my view.

No worse than fans of most clubs at the time.
Selective memories - Sunderland supporters 'had their moments' too, as did fans of most clubs.

You've got to be f***ing kidding me, comparing our fans with them!

If you're so 'wise', then how about you describe some of the nasty pasty Leeds fans antics.​

Starting with the European cup final riot, then there were riots at West Brom when they got relegated, Oxford when they stuffed them 5-1, and of course Bournemouth, off the top of my head. I'm sure there were others, including at least one death of a fan.

In contrast, our away support has normally been praised for good behaviour.

Yes well, I'm a Boro fan , and I've seen Sunderland fans in action -at both Ayresome and Roker (admittedly Boro have been just as bad over the years too, which is kind of my point).

As for the Leeds fans 'rioting' , of course i'm not condoning (or denying) that things have gone on in the past, and i'm not saying that Leeds fans are all 'angels' - but from the periods you mentioned - not many clubs can say their fans were ALL well behaved (including Sunderland I dare to say).
English clubs were banned from European competition, remember.

On the subject of your away support being praised for their behaviour, I wouldn't doubt it - but our support has a similarly good name.
Doesn't mean to say that we (and you) dont have our/your fair share of people intent on causing trouble.
