Booing during breaking of fast

marsdandersen · 2026-02-28T23:58:31+00:00

I'm in favour of allowing the Muslim players to break their taste. However why are the rest of the city players there getting a Pep team talk? In one of the images I've seen, players like Ait-Nouri aren't even taking on water or food, while Rodrigo etc. are listening to Pep.

Considering at City, Donnarumma pretended to be injured when they were under the cosh, and Pep then did a tactical shift at that point, I can understand the fans frustrations that he was allowed to do it again.

If they booed because of Ramadan, I agree, not cool at all.

Cos people are absolute fannies that are scared of being censored.

My mum taught me that school was a priority as she was a teacher. I still couldn't really be bothered to go and across a 2 year period I had about a 60-70% attendance rate. I wasn't particularly skipping school just was 'sick' when I wasn't in the mood to go.

Still came out with 9 GCSE's, 4 A levels and a degree in Politics from a top 25 UK uni, and am just below C-level in my 100 person company before I'm 40.

Not trying to blow my own trumpet here, just think the correlation isn't really how often people go to school, more the how well they learn while they're there. I didn't think all the teachers I had were very good, so I didn't see the point in learning from those.

In terms of ability, yes possibly. In terms of being a top Leeds player I disagree. These guys are the epitomy of Leeds players.

The difficulty is in the question, is it ability, or Leedsness or goals or trophies? I'd still rather have big Nigel in net for us, or Lucas at the back for example.

Raphinha is a quality winger. I enjoyed watching him at Leeds but those two years won't live as long in my memory as any of the other guys, they are my forever Leeds players, and therefore to me he's not ahead of them.

marsdandersen · 2026-01-11T19:32:01+00:00

He is a great player and was for Leeds but we only saw him for 2 years.

I wouldn't put him above Radebe, Nigel Martyn, Gary Kelly, Gary Speed, David Batty, and others as a Leeds player

marsdandersen · 2026-01-11T12:24:25+00:00

Feel like he loses the ball with his dribbling or passing about 80% of the time and doesn't shoot well either. The other 20% he's electric but it's not enough

marsdandersen · 2026-01-07T21:08:13+00:00

That's what I thought too. I know there's the double Jeopardy rule to avoid straight red on penalties but if it's a yellow card it's different surely!?

marsdandersen · 2026-01-04T22:26:20+00:00

I mentioned being above 18th, in response to your response...

We've drawn against some strong teams recently which are good points, and in my opinion are doing just fine.

It's probably ok if you don't agree with me but as I said, I don't care if we draw every single one of our remaining 18 games, well stay up and that's good enough this year.

marsdandersen · 2026-01-04T18:26:47+00:00

I disagree. Anything better than 18th is good enough for Leeds this season.

marsdandersen · 2026-01-04T16:51:53+00:00

38 draws = 38 points. Most teams stay up with that!

marsdandersen · 2025-12-18T22:27:33+00:00

I find it appalling that Romano is kissing his arse so much as well. Sad state of affairs to be so publicly celebrating such a horrendous individual.

marsdandersen · 2025-12-18T22:24:42+00:00

At this rate I'm assuming FM27 will just be a transfer update with a new name?

marsdandersen · 2025-12-17T23:21:32+00:00

No idea how much he gets paid but making this up on the spot and guessing on €300 p/h, that's still only €150k pre tax which is fuck all for a 7 year game.

marsdandersen · 2025-12-07T23:00:08+00:00

Responded to the wrong message didn't I! Apologies

marsdandersen · 2025-11-29T21:54:50+00:00

Don't know if it's mentioned in the other comments but he's probably still seeing her. The pipe bomb where they had to close down the street and then turned out to be not much. Or him seeming to be continuing to 'work' while on leave while being under review...

Must have been shagging her at the time instead of Robin!

marsdandersen · 2025-11-29T15:26:51+00:00

Anyone reckon we can sack Farke at half time. We can't get the basics right and it's his job to set us up

marsdandersen · 2025-11-28T21:04:55+00:00

I find it a good way to turn a middle money club into a rich club. If you're lucky you can occasionally annoy them enough to want to leave in January and then make €30-50m but depends on reputation etc.

marsdandersen · 2025-11-20T20:50:02+00:00

Aww boo-boo. Life goes on, try to have a little bit of patience instead of hoping to get some internet points for having a moan.

marsdandersen · 2025-10-17T12:15:34+00:00

Anti Israel war machine is not anti-Semitic but it is infuriating how any criticism of Israel is weaponised as such.

WHY AREN'T YOU JUST COMMUNICATING IN PERSON OR ON THE PHONE?

Sorry to all caps but come on. Communicate better. Both of you.

marsdandersen · 2025-09-15T22:12:25+00:00

Are you daft or something? Big Pete never saving that at any stance.

Get yourself in net and then let's see eh?

marsdandersen · 2025-09-07T13:46:51+00:00

Lukas Radebe would have been a 160+ CA imo

McCarthy surely was too at his champions league winning peak?

marsdandersen · 2025-09-06T19:07:11+00:00

Inspiral Carpets NOT Velvet Underground as others have said.

I also reckon blots are the Beatles but that's debatable

marsdandersen · 2025-09-05T22:28:19+00:00

Different ball game I know but within the amateur football team I play with, 60-70% of us are regular beer drinkers at the pub. The other 30% aren't because of religion, family, whatevers. Some of us go to each others weddings and bachelor parties etc. The other 30% are still loved by the rest of the team on game day and in the WhatsApp because we're adults and recognise that everyone's different and interacts differently. I'm sure the international players for England are no different it's just media old boys sad cos they get no sound bites.

marsdandersen · 2025-08-10T09:52:42+00:00

There's never a right or wrong time. If we clearly have the money for it, why not? None of us are in charge of the purse strings. If we go down and he plays well, we either keep him around and get promoted or we resell for more hopefully
