Following on from Sky's coverage of the Stoke game and the continuous loop they played of "Leeds are falling apart again" was this as a wind up of Leeds fans?
If so Sky should be held to account for this abuse of their position and all Leeds fans should complain to their local MP's about it.
The silence of the political class in Leeds on matters of this nature is disgraceful. I am sure if it was a London or Lancashire team there would be calls for a public enquiry on a national scale.
Please if you can take the time email your local MP.

We won. Who cares? If we go up and / or win the championship I will be singing it myself. It's only annoying when we don't do the business.

1970 Sly Serpents showed their true colours Leeds wise many years ago. Best response is on the pitch.

As a Leeds supporter you should care! Instances of this nature and the victimisation of people should not be acceptable and when perpetrated against the team you support it is totally wrong . An international broadcaster should not be allowed to target a club or its supporters in this way. It has gone on for far too long and it should be prevented from happening again. The local political class and the club should stand up to treatment of this nature every time it occurs.

I'm assuming this is a wind up 1970. If not, chill out, there are plenty of things to worry about, but that definitely ain't one of 'em! 😲.

No wind up Phil Hay has called Sky out publicly about it

Phil Hay has slammed Sky Sports after the broadcaster played “Leeds are falling apart” almost on loop throughout the last televised game against Stoke.
Leeds fans couldn’t believe that Sky insisted on playing the song as part of the fake crowd noise put out on the TV broadcast.
The song was played consistently despite Leeds playing at home and regardless of what was going on during the game.
It started playing as Leeds were awarded a penalty in the first half and then again once Mateusz Klich had put Leeds 1-0 up.
Talking on The Athletic, Hay said, “I know it’s a bit of fun but it seems a bit out of order to me. ” Hay is bang on here.
Sky may have taken umbrage about the Leeds song that is regularly sung at Elland Road but we don’t think that means they should take this sort of action.
It might be a bit of fun for Sky but seeing as they make more revenue from Leeds than any other side in the Championship, this seems to be completely wrong.
It wound a lot of Leeds fans up, who took time out while watching the game to slam Sky on Twitter.
And now all eyes (or ears) will be on the Barnsley game on Thursday.
This is the game that could see Leeds secure promotion and it would be completely wrong for Sky to repeat their shenanigans.
We say, fun or not, this must not happen again and hopefully the producers at Sky Sports have got the message.
We have a reasonable sense of humour but this is a hugely important time for the club.
Leeds United aren’t there to amuse a few Sky employees and we think that if their bosses found out, it would be banned immediately.
