Didn’t follow Austria Salzburg for 20 years to accept RasenBall #lufc #svas https://thesquareball.net/author/tbg/
Amen. The blasé nature in which far far too many of our fanbase look upon r*d b*ll is terrifying. There is an almost arrogance that “we’re Leeds, they won’t and can’t do anything”. Look around, we’re already one of their clubs. Oh, and that’s before we get on to them funding far right media…

"Bates taught this fanbase to ask those questions of our ownership. Leipzig is a reminder of what happens to a club when nobody is asking the questions anymore." Love Leeds F*ck Red Bull!

Pleases me to see Red Bull GmbH accurately described as a “drinks marketing company” and not an “energy drink manufacturer” Piece to follow for @thesquareball.net on how we fans must grab the narrative on Red Bull GmbH at Leeds from disinterested and ill-informed media. #lufc

Red Bull, Leipzig, and the Lesson Bates Left Behind
The death of Ken Bates last month resurfaced some old wounds, old arguments and memories of a divided fanbase. A reminder that us, as fans, must always, always question our football clubs owners. Bates...

This game is an opportunity for fan orgs such as @thesquareball.net and @lufctrust.com to highlight how RasenBallsport Leipzig came into existence, what Red Bull GmbH actually represents and to reject Leeds United’s deepening ties with it. #lufc #neinzuRB
Beren Cross@berencross.bsky.social · last mo.Leeds United have announced a pre-season friendly with RB Leipzig. It's a 2pm kick-off at Elland Road on Saturday, August 8. Ticket details still to come. A second, and final, home friendly on the following weekend will be announced in due course. #lufc
Two years in, and despite fans' best efforts the Leeds United media discourse around Red Bull GmbH is very poor. Which matters to us because these are the cracks this insidious marketing company operates in. #lufc #neinzuRB
Paddy Gunn@paddygunn.bsky.social · 3d agoRasenballsport Leipzig, Bryn. Not Red Bull. They wouldn’t do that. #LUFC

Austria Salzburg will play First Vienna at home in the ÖFB-Cup round 2 #svas #öfbcup
SV Austria Salzburg@austriasalzburg.bsky.social · last wk.Wir spielen in der 2. Runde des UNIQA ÖFB-Cups gegen die Vienna. Daheim. Gespielt zwischen 4. und 6. September.
✊ Fake sport for conglomerates. And they say a corporate, franchised club couldn’t happen in Leeds.
Bob S.@bslufc.bsky.social · last wk.This feels absolutely nothing like a Roses match, as the sparse crowd testifies. Could not give a single toss #hundred #crap

Die WM ist eine Warnung. Bei Ekelgefühlen wenden Sie sich an Ihre lokalen Ultras und treten Sie in Ihren Verein ein.
Matt Ford@matt4d.bsky.social · 2w agoMan kann den Amis aber auch dankbar sein. Denn genau so könnte es in Deutschland bzw. Europa auch aussehen. Also wehrt euch. Organisierte Fußballfans sind mächtig. Werdet Mitglied in eurem Verein. Geht zur MV. Bringt euch ein. Unterstützt eure Ultras. Kämpft für 50+1. Damit es nicht so wird.

Matt Ford@matt4d.bsky.social · 2w agoDystopian shit, this.
So true how Bates was a catalyst for @thesquareball.net’s reformation – certainly my contributions to that, nice to hear some of those namechecked here 👊 #lufc
Andy P@arcticreviews.bsky.social · 3w agoVery well done this @thesquareball.net. I doubt very much whether there are any Leeds fans on here who believe Bates was anything other than a hugely negative influence, but if somehow you dont, give yourself 15 minutes of this. #lufc www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hp0...

Die Austria are in the Croatian city of Rijeka to play NK Opatija at the 10,600-capacity Stadion Kantrida today. Built on a former quarry site between steep cliffs and the Adriatic Sea, it is regarded as one of football's most beautiful and unusual settings 💜🤍 #svas

For years, Ken Bates claimed he didn’t know who owned Leeds United. Amid pressure from fans and the media – most notably David Conn – plus parliament and the Football League – whom Bates had gaslit Leeds fans against – saw him suddenly buy control of the club in 2011 from its mystery owners. #lufc
Why did Leeds sell to Ken Bates, who claims he has no money to invest? | David Conn
David Conn: Leeds United's mystery owners have just sold out to Ken Bates for an 'undisclosed sum' at a time when they stood a good chance of realising a thumping return on their outlay

Modern existence is a perpetual struggle for those of us on the side of largely loving humanity & particularly the wonderous Earth itself but despising late capitalism so it's grimly familiar to adore football, the true sport of the working classes, but loathe the self appointed custodians.
Dass der Head of Global Soccer des Konzerns Red Bull in der Causa Balogun/Trump/Infantino sagt, das sei „unser Spiel, nicht deren Spiel“, streift den Bereich der Komik.
And it’s a tradition now, we do that every fucking match against them.
Baby steps. Baby steps. "It's just a 10% stake." "It's just a sponsor on the shirt." "It's just sponsorship on the media output." "It's just a friendly." Then... "It's just a pre-season tournament", "It's just another 10%", "It's just the name of the stadium"... #LUFC

RB Leipzig have sacked another head coach and are set to appoint their eighth in 10 years. That’s a worrying number for a club that once had grand ambitions of dominating German football…
