It is really not possible to hate Leeds United more than I do and yet, here we are. That’s ****ing dreadful.

Their old emblem was amazing, I really liked it. How can you **** something up so badly?

Hope it's nothing serious

Glenn Murray arrested for tax fraud.

At least it has their name on it.

Glenn Murray arrested for tax fraud.

Why do it when you are making a fortune like he would be? Footballers are always going to be scrutinised closely.

Seamus Coleman played an hour for the EvU23s. Stepping up his recovery!

Really? I missed the whole Leeds Crest deal? Darn.

Surely this is a windup? They wouldn't...? Then again, execs making decisions, and being insistant on it.

It's a decent logo, but that's the thing, it's a logo, not a club crest. This doesn't tell us anything about Leeds, be it the white rose, or any landmarks, or anything. It's like UEFA's blooming shirt logo.

Mind you, at least the fans have given up some legitimately good options.

Reports are saying that Leeds will be scrapping the new crest.

Maybe they should offer a year's supply of Yorkshire puddings in a competition to design a new crest.

How are people still falling for this.

Falling for what?

 

[Magma]

Falling for what?

it's not possible for him to do so. because he has played in a fifa tournament at underage level, he remains only eligible for uruguay or if he had another passport (spanish, italian etc) at the time he played that tournament.

 

[FAITH]

Falling for what?

He is shit.

Playing for socceroos is like saying Erin Phillips is good enough to play on Dustin Martin

I saw the Newcastle United mock up of the Leeds United badge and I'm wondering why it was punching a horse.

Then i saw the video and now I cant stop laughing.

I thought they changed it so that youth football doesnt count?

It doesn't but you had to have been eligible for the country you wish to represent today when you played for the under age team.

Fornaroli obviously wasn't eligible to play for Australia when he represented Uruguay at youth so level rendering him ineligible to represent Australia now regardless of his citizenship status.

What it will help with is HG quotas in ACL matches for his club.
