Quote: TangerineDream "I have never once booed the players this season despite some abject
performances. If I don't like what I've seen then I just keep quiet and I don't applaud. As far as I'm concerned no player goes out to play poorly
deliberately and if they do it is either because they are either not good enough or that the tactics they've been asked to adopt are clearly not the right ones. As far as I'm concerned the few 'fans' who have berated the team with a torrent of abuse are in the minority and as such should not have even been a passing consideration to the players last night who should really should acknowledged the majority of true fans who have remained supportive of the team throughout the season.'"


Absolutely spot-on. It's important that people realise that the behaviour of some feck-witted morons in the shed is a very small percentage of the whole stand. To tar everyone with the same brush is both lazy & pathetic.

Ain't it just. A few idiots spout off and suddenly, according to the holier-than-thou element on here, the entire Shed are a disgrace to the club. Unbelievable, but on the other hand I guess it's no surprise, really.

And by the way, a few of us don't stand in the Shed, nor at the Club End. I take it we're not worthy of a lap of honour, either, then?

A very small percentage they may be, ut a very obvious presence they are also.

Fron other parts of the ground the 'obvious' reaction of the Shed on a large number of occasions this season has not been good, nor acceptable.

I stand by my original point that it's no wonder the team don't want to parade in front of a stand where they have often seen the 'very small percentage' as the face of the Shed. There have been plenty of comments from players recently about how good the fans acn be, or how they feel when they have to face abuse.

I am in no way suggesting that all of the shed are guilty of anything, but that the very vocal minority are costing the rest of the fans.

Who actually said "the entire shed are a disgrace"?


Apologies if I'm asking you to put facts before a whiney, self-indulgent rant while you've so obviously not got your dummy in, but just occasionally it's nice to debate an issue on here with grown-ups.

By suggesting that the players should not acknowledge the shed due to the minority of idiots, you are placing the entire stand in the same bracket.

And it's not a self-indulgent rant, nor is it dummy spitting. I don't stand in the shed so why would I be that bothered? I've seen the shed react badly a few times, but there's no way I'd label everyone in there the same. That should go for the players as well.

Fair point.

It was the "lazy and pathetic" comment that had annoyed me which, having re-read the thread, I realise wasn't yours.

Apologies.

In a recent post I believe R. Paul stated that younger players were put off bhe acions/comments of some fans presumably in the shed.
Now we have players leaving without waving goodbye.

Have we lost the players?

Before we get the comments on professionalism, we pay for xxxx, etc ... we do not accept it in our working lives.

Stopped standing in the shed when i started bringing the young uns and now sit in the AT stand. Was delighted to see the 4 kids i take along shake EVERY players hand and had loads of photos taken. Sat in front of Willie T and his kids and saw him today at my kids game, he made a point about feeling very positive about Fri nights game - his comment was "more to come."

After the kids shook hands we walked round to the shed massive cheer for Ratchford and a few before him however not even a clap for Smith and you wonder why they didn't rush over. Notwithstanding i am one of Smiths biggest crtitics I can underatand why not ALL players want to run a live public vote on accolade or humilaition.

By the way when i got out of the taxi after paying my money this afternoon he did'nt clap me!!!!

True, but how may of us have people pay to watch us work?

To suggest that Smith walked off to silence is simply untrue. He was actually cheered off, albeit slightly less enthusiastically than the players either side of him, but to say he wasn't even clapped is way off the mark.

It was a great team effort on Friday and the players out there really looked like they were in it together.

I do however feel as though our interchange players (asides from Paul) are considerably weaker than the starting 13. I dread them coming on. Hopefully this is addressed for next season with stronger "squad" players and obviously less injuries. 2 would-be main players and big name signings (Parker, Talau) have hardly had a chance this season unfortunately.

As for the clapping antics (or lack of), I stand in the shed and there are plenty of morons who I genuinely believe go to the match just to abuse. It's a shame and it makes you wonder why they bother coming, even more so when they are decked out in club colours.

There was a guy near me who lambasted Littler the whole game, really OTT abuse of a guy who's given us pretty much his whole career, a player who never shirks a tackle, never cries off and is always a willing carrier of the ball. He may not be the most talented or intelligent player out there, but the stuff being said was very harsh. When he scored a couple of fans actually got close to this guy and gave a very vocal "Littler for England" chant, much to my amusement.

I think the point I’m trying to make is whilst I was a bit disappointed that the players didn’t clap the Shed, I can fully understand why, given the small idiot element which populates it. It’s just a shame that they didn’t acknowledge the proper fans who stand there, and there a plenty of us.

I think someone at the club need to manage the last match lap of honour a little better. I know it was hard with Leeds picking up the hub cap but this happens most season ends. The players wander off to talk to family and friends and then it is difficult to organise them to do a proper farewell.

I was at the club end with my 2 year old son and 4 year old nephew and the fact that players like Stapo, Littler, Fitzy and Mark Henry came right over and shook hands with them was a real thrill for them. Mark Henry inparticular was very enthusiastic and appreciative of our support. He seems to have really taken the club to heart!!!

Perhaps it was the fact that they stood for so long before anything got going was a factor in them going straight off in front of the shed. As a player I know that after a hard game you just want to get in the shower and start having your aches and pains sorted.

It might have been better if someone at the club gathered the team in the corner by the club and the shop and started the lads off round the field heading towards Kennedy Rd. That would have given Leeds the chance to get their gong and stopped players making straight for family. It would also mean doing the last bit in front of the shed before leaving the pitch.
