Just read an interview with Hecky in which he says, of the trip to Burma, "The squad will look different. Made up of players who are available to go. " He also said "We have got lots of players who are not going for various reasons. " Do I detect already some senior players - not in a million years. Just want to stay at home and play with the kids and who can blame them. Maybe Leeds will be there in name only fielding an 11 who can be "persuaded" to go.

I dunno guys. I think that I could be pursuaded to play in certain circumstances. If as i suspect, the media turn up en mass, cameras in hand, i would happily, without forewarning Radz etz casually potter out onto the pitch in a shirt with my name replaced with the word Rohingya emblazened across the back. That would learn em.

How many clubs will go to China, Russia America and other countries known for their human rights violations and there won't be a problem with it

How on earth did Martyn get a thumbs down for that? A morally solid posting, regardless of our various opinions. Also, other teams may well tour countries with p1ss p00r human rights records, but two wrongs don't make a right. we don't need to mirror them. Doing this provides justification for the dirty Leeds logo. if we are to be what we hope to be, a top brand, we should not yarnish it in such a dubious manner.

No Martyn just dropping bombs or supporting chemical warfare in the name of democracy invading countries locking people in jail for no reason using torture tactics in the name of their god. Enough men women and children killed by the countries I've mentioned. Do you just cherry pick the ones that offend you

The point is Martyn that other teams will be touring countries with dirty laundry but it's not a problem. If this tour promotes Leeds in emerging nations and economies it can be good for leeds and we are always saying football breaks barriers and brings people together. Maybe Leeds can break barriers in burma

So how many of you are not going to watch the World Cup in Russia? On principle alone? Because of what the Russians have done over the last 30 years? Boycott the TV, that's what I say! Ffs.

I can see both sides. It is a very debatable situation but until someone says you will not go then then the country is still open to any sports tours from any sports association. There are far worse countries on the Amnesty top 10 list whose leaders have had dinner with the Queen and shook hands with the PM and heads of industry. Their football teams are all invited by FIFA to take part in the World Cup. In fact two of them play each other early doors. One of them beheaded over 40 people last year some of them's only crime was to be opposition members. If Burma started making top quality half price 4k TVs I am sure we would all have one in our living rooms. One of the top human rights abusers is Turkey. They have there own form of ethnic cleansing against their Kurdish minority population but look how many of us support their economy by sitting on their beaches every year. I know your arguments for Leeds United not going and I am not belittling your thoughts but before the tour was anounced how many of you donated money or clothes to the Rohingya Emergency appeal? This situation was caused by a Government and as such can only be stopped by a Government. LUFC going or not going will not make a scrap of difference to the human rights abuses going on in Burma. This topic as contentious as it is is tending to overpower the actual footballing reasons of this site so as far as I am concerned, I love you all whether you agree with me or not and from now on I will restrict my missives to moulding the thoughts of chairman Radz and all those below him. ALAW
