Its clealry not towards us and not about baldock

Anyone pretending faux outrage is embarrasing themselves and acting like a snowflake and need to grow up

Yes not aiming it at GB but he's not stupid and you know it.

Both played with Baldock ️
Thousands of other songs to sing ️
Beat us to promotion where he played ️
His death came before the Leeds game ️

He's clearly very stupid to sing it either way.

 

[Davalon]

I'd be genuinely surprised if Bogle didn't cringe when he heard it (or at least today if he was pissed at the time).

 

[Torrix1889]

Not reading anything into Ampadu singing that.

He's obviously pissed and just got a bit carried away. Nobody has a Trademark on a football chant whatever the circumstances. To be honest we have sung that song more about GB since his tragic passing than we did when he was playing at BDTBL....in fact, I can only remember it being sung a handful of times at away games, hardly ever at home.

 

[UTB Blade]

There goes a man who has never experienced personal tragedy in his life, and is completely devoid of the ability to appreciate or even acknowledge the suffering endured by those who have suffered such tragedy, much less feel or show respect for the victim, or any sort of compassion for those left behind.

Actually, I'm wrong in referring to Ampadu as a man - no real man would ever behave like that, no real man would ever show such a lack of respect to a fellow professional who lost his life so tragically at such a young age, and, crucially, no real man would ever, ever, show such contempt for the suffering of those left behind, including, in this case, a 1 year old child.

You are not a man, 'Mr' Ampadu, and as you stand there, singing your mocking, crass, disrespectful song, I hope you begin to realise that no matter how long you live, no matter how many achievements you think you attain in your life, you will never, ever, achieve even a tiny crumb of what George Baldock achieved in his life, and you will never, ever, attract even a tiny skerrick of the love, respect and admiration that George Baldock engendered, through being the man that he was all his life.

 

[nopigfansintown]

Scum by name, scum by nature.

 

[LudlamBlade]

Crass, and he knows exactly what he's doing

 

[LS16Blade]

Leeds United is a club that has for at least 60-odd years had an unusually high number of horrible characters.

Are these individuals already flawed and attracted by the club’s unpleasant reputation or does that vile club turn many that that go through the door, into a hateful scumbag? I’m inclined to think it’s probably the latter. After all, there is bound to be pressure to find favour with the utter filth that follow them.

 

[Chimpan-A]

For people with short memories, we did actually sing this about Bogle a few times when he played for us, and before the tragedy with Baldock. I can’t imagine any disrespect was meant by it, I think it’s the song people sing about right-sided players.

I love a bit of outrage, but this is taking it a bit too far.

 

[Dave Bloggs]

Sheffield United did not invent that chant.

It has been used by loads of clubs before, including Leeds about Alisoki. Not everything is about Sheffield United lads.

 

[skegblade]

A little bit surprising given the signifance that both Ampadu and Bogle were at the lane with Baldock. Our first game after Baldocks passing was Leeds away and of course the Blades fans gave an unbelievable rendition of the Baldock song that night.

Of course the song wasn't only Baldocks song, but it carries a huge amount of significance following his death. Its personal to Blades fans and the club. Such a huge loss.

Ampadu can obviously do what he wants and i hold no bad feeling towards him for this or their promotion celebrations, maybe he just didn't click and can't handle his ale. No dramas really.

But Ampadu is one of the wankiest players i've seen in a Blades shirt, he's looked wank for Wales as well. i can't believe he'll be back in the Premier league next season. Didn't think he was special for Leeds either but they appear to rate him and he's played his part in the terrific promotion points haul, only topping us on wins in the season on the last day when we drew.

But in conclusion and by way of summary, what a Bellend

Leeds bad spell came with Amoadu out so your argument doesnt carry
If the leeds fans rate him ,its their problem ,personally id have back at the lane,looks better in a back 4 ,more than midfield imo, he will start in the prem butwill get found out,so will ours the chasm is huge, no matter who goes up with multi millions whoever finishes 4th bottom get more money anyhow ,a point thats regulary overlooked

I cant remember anybody ever singing about Bogle he wasnt that fucking good

 

[Large Mendonca]

Nothing to see here, in my opinion - I think we’re just being a little touchy about it as it’s still raw with us blades fans

Id pass if we got the chance to have him back. He's spineless

 

[CirenBlade]

He was 19/20 years old the season he played for us and we were a very poor team well out of our depth.

 

[The Crab]

I’ll be honest I’m struggling to give much of a fuck about Ampadu and what he sings.

He and Bogle will get buttfucked week in and week out next season because neither of them are anywhere near good enough for the prem.

Now that’s something to sing about

 

[Half Bond Jls]

Wanker and shite player

Sounded like one of them lads on the fair who works on the Waltzer. What a fucking helmet

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

He obviously didn’t mean anything by it but will be funny when he inevitably gets shit on in the prem every week… that is if Leeds keep him.

This view is bollocks. Likening what Ampadu is doing here with Leeds singing the same thing about Alioski is confirming you’re either a moron and/or a Leeds fan.

It’s weird for me. Bogle would’ve been cringing to fuck I bet.

It’s the exact same song used by loads of clubs about right backs or right mids. Nothing to do with Baldock. Stop searching for something to be offended by.

 

[NAnstonblade]

Respectful memories of 'our George' aside, I don't give a monkeys, it's all 'yesterday'.

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

There's some reight cope on this thread. The fact is this pair of 'shit defenders' just romped automatic promotion with an excellent defensive record.

Ampadou has developed from player he was back in the horror season and Bogle has always been decent and just had his best season imo.

 

[LondonBlade89]

I know it’s used by lots of clubs all the country over. But it was specifically the song that was sang about Jayden Bogle’s teammate who passed away not long ago. It’s weird. Not even in a “OMG I’m so offended way”. It just feels weird. If you don’t find it weird, fine. We can agree to disagree. But I will make a judgement on you. Particularly as a LUFC fan on an SUFC board who can’t identify a key difference between Alioski and George Baldock.

Leeds fans can't understand why we are pissed off by that.

You know United didn't invent that, right?

Man Utd used to sing it to Januzaj. He left Man Utd the same summer United signed Baldock.

Liverpool used to sing it to Ben Woodburn.

Villa used to sing it to Robert Snodgrass.

Celtic used to sing it to Patrick Roberts.

Palace used to sing it to Andros Townsend.

As posted above, even Leeds have sang it before to Alioski

I could go on, but the first 4 players i've listed left their clubs before United started singing the song

To be fair though, nobody is arguing that the song is unique to us & Baldock.

The point is, Ampadu & (especially) Bogle know that that song was dedicated to their late teammate, and likely their friend.

I don't think it was meant as disrespect (a Wednesday fan put it on Twitter recently dedicated to one of their players, and wa met with a lot of disdain, even by their fans).

Unlike us fans, these lads actually knew Baldock personally so I would expect his passing impacted them (again, particularly Bogle).

At worst, it was probably just in bad taste. Ampadu likely wanted to start a chant for Bogle and as a right back it was the first one that came to mind.
He was pissed up and doing a little bit too much all day.

Hopefully they cringed a bit at it this morning, but I don't think they're guilty of anything sinister.

Do you think we’ll be using that tune to sing about another Blades player any time soon?

 

[mattbianco1]

Just to counter this.

Ampadu played the entirety of his United career, behind closed doors

 

[mattbianco1]

Of course not. Because he's our loss. The song stays with him from a United point of view.

I've pointed out that many teams sang it BEFORE us, including Leeds.

There are tons of clubs that sing it NOW.

I don't understand why people are being so touchy.

Maybe everybody should stop singing it, it's disrespectful to David Bowie, now he's dead

The reason why we wouldn’t sing it now is the same reason why some of us find it weird to see two ex teammates using it not long after his death. That’s all there is to it. If you don’t find it weird, fine.

It’s not any more deep than that. No need for you to go over the top and start talking about disrespect for Bowie. That’s obviously not what I’m saying.
