I'd rather not give them the time of day, or the relevance, but they are local rivals so it's inevitable it'll happen.

I spent much it my youth in Harrogate, so I hated Leeds, moving to Sheffield that continues but really the Sheffield teams just hate each other with Leeds just a wishful outsider looking in.

I would be astounded if the flag reproduced on here was the one that got us fined, but its UEFA so maybe not that astounded. The flag has all the clues that the person waving it wouldn't be someone I'd particularly relish being stuck in a lift with. But being a - look at me twat - shouldn't be a reason for a fine from the authorities. Being against illegal immigration is a pretty widely held position in the UK today.

It's got to be something else.

Isn't the rule that there should be no political statements? If so, it doesn't really matter whether it's a popular political statement.

I'd prefer that we didn't sing about them at all, especially in a final. That said, I've done it myself and I suppose its a difficult habit to break.

With Chrissy and Adsy, Teutonic Jamesy, they're the boys who're gonna do us fine (when they're not arguing online).

I dunno, I suppose I should have really read the rule before forming an opinion but hey, why break the habit of a lifetime. I suppose, if we could be arsed, we'd have a lawyer argue the point that its not a political statement but an anti crime one. If one doesn't bleed into another. I dunno, I reckon they get far too much attention as it is so I'll leave it there.
