Apparently a bunch of morons (Leeds' supporters mind you) surrounded Gregan's car with his wife and 14 month old son to vent their frustrations. This is getting bad.

Apparently a bunch of morons (Leeds' supporters mind you) surrounded Gregan's car with his wife and 14 month old son to vent their frustrations. This is getting bad.

taken from the leedslist, so, take it for what you will, but:

"I was there I was not involved but with my daughter we witnessed the
incident...
3 "fans" gave Gregan and his wife some verbal grief, they were not
surrounding his car, they were behind the barriers, the words said were
"Gregan you're a disgrace" to Mrs G "Can you get you're old man to leave
Leeds, he's a disgrace?" the 3 lads were told by myself and another
supporter to take their anger out in a more appropriate way and verbally
hassling a players wife was not acceptable, the stewards became involved
when Mrs G verbally responded. Sean went on to sign autographs as the
stewards moved the "fans" away, unfortunately as Sean was getting into his
car they returned and Sean did offer to fight with them behind the Revie
Stand, it was not as reported on WACCOE as no one saved Gregan fortunately
he had enough sense to get into his car and drive off.

Who's fault was it? Well as the stewards were talking to these "fans" who
clearly stated that they were waiting for Gregan to come out and were going
to give him "grief" make up your own minds. It was also clear these "fans"
were known to the stewards as they chatted at one point they discussed the
cost of going to WHU on Friday, so it should not be to hard to identify them
if that is what is warranted.

It was not nice nor was it something to get to hot and bothered about,
verbal handbags would be my description, my ten year old who witnessed it
spoke to Sean as he gave her his autograph her advice was "ignore them", it
seams a shame he did not head the advice."

Winning would solve all of this.

Funny thing was that Gregan was actually one of the better players against Leicester...

Looks like Scott Carson is off to Liverpool in January:

This article says Sully is going to be our keeper for a long time. He's going to be 35 in February, how long can he be here for?

[Captain Splarg]

Nige is still going strong at Everton....

I really hope we can get Carson to sign a new deal, but yeah, it looks unlikely.

[mellon002]

For every Nigel Martin there are 5 David Seaman's.

You gotta be kidding me. John Oster was arrested last night:

[Captain Splarg]

Oster and one other guy were arrested, but no one was injured at all, and the one that was "assulted" is not going to press any charges or anything against anybody.

[Captain Splarg]

Scott Carson has turned down the first contract we offered to him.

[mellon002]

He wants to play Premiership football.

This is about talkover talks and how nothing will be finalized before the new year. It also says that Blackwell is resigned to the fact that he will not be making any new signings this season. Maybe a loan player or two, but no signings. It also says that Crainey will miss the remainder of the season.

This is really sad. Leave the poor man alone and get a frickin life. Those people give decent, passionate supporters a bad name.

Strongbow, anyone?

[Captain Splarg]

I forgot Crainey existed.

Leeds United have suspended John Oster and Jamie McMaster following alleged breaches of club discipline.

The pair were suspended by boss Kevin Blackwell on Christmas Eve following an incident at the club's official festive party last week.

Blackwell said the duo were set for showdown talks on Friday.

"We have suspended them pending further enquiries," he told the Yorkshire Evening Post. "We are conducting our own internal investigation. Until that is concluded and we have met with the players again there is nothing further I can say."

Oster, who is on loan from Sunderland, was arrested outside a Durham nightclub two weeks ago. He was released without charge but fined by Leeds and warned about his future conduct.

It is thought Leeds will take a hard-line stance when 26-year-old Oster and McMaster return to the club to learn their fate on Friday.

Following Oster's nightclub incident Blackwell stressed he would not tolerate off-field trouble.

Leeds could opt to end Oster's loan arrangement while 22-year-old McMaster could face a substantial fine and a warning about his future conduct.
