This was my point earlier. Where do you draw the line when "naming" people on these forums. Didn't some guy in the UK get killed not long back when wrongly accused of being a paedophile?

However I'm facinated where this anti semitism with Leeds comes from - I don't get it. I've heard it before over the years but don't get the connection.

When fans could virtually shout what they liked off the terraces way back in the 60's this was generally the favoured insult used by the older guys when playing Leeds. Really, really surprised it's still going on.

This is obviously one moron who, hopefully, the club will deal with if his name has been provided to Mr Carter.

It's refreshing that Leeds fans haven't done the usual "all Wakey fans are anti-Semitic" - which is the oft-heard knee-jerk response to hearing one comment in a crowd; a very measured response, and I hope this unpleasant individual is named and banned.

I wouldn't publicly name and shame unless there is hard proof, to be honest I'd hold back then - just ban him for life, he was an utter disgrace.

The Leeds fans he was having a go at were a perfectly reasonable bunch, and to their credit did not rise to the bait. Many Wakefield fans in the area were telling him to shut up and were obviously cringing at his behaviour. I dont know what triggered it, but he was completely out of order.

Whereabouts in the ground exactly did this happen?

Lower terrace of the North stand. Pretty much around where Leeds' first try was scored.

Leeds have some of the best fans in the game. Their support never wavered during last season, and they stuck with them throughout many years of "always the bridesmaid, never the bride". This dominance is only ten years old in reality. I have never associated them with trouble and on the whole a classy bunch, like those of Saints and Wigan.

It's not the fans who earned the Leeds club their reputation.

Watersplash is the prime example.

Yorkshire cup finals at Headingley even when Leeds were in them.

Flashing the cash year after year to entice other clubs star players.

Picking the bones of Keighley Cougars.

I was there - was this the middle aged bloke who got escorted out with a much older guy? I didn't quite see what happened - just the aftermath.

Sounds like the same incident.

The older guy was the one kicking off, the younger guy (someone said it was his son) waded in to back him up.
