Footy world & #lufc should stop #Saville tragedy chants. Also, as a gay season ticket holder I don’t want anyone thinking they’re not welcome as #ALAW - hearing my own fans use homophobic chants/gestures (see footage) makes me feel sick & angry 👏 well done #lufc #NotBanter @marchingout.bsky.social

Our #lufc manager today after great win at Elland Road 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 on the opening of the fast during #ramadan by players this afternoon #alaw - see whole article in the Yorkshire Evening Post - www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/sport/footba...

There's nothing better than football and a football pitch to work together with different passports, cultures and religions and all are united, to go in one direction.

“Football is a perfect example of how the world should be united, especially in such crazy times and it's good to have such a sign sent. I think it was a perfect message sent today."

Mark Umpleby 🏳️‍🌈 @markumpleby.bsky.social · 08/03/2026

I obviously disagree Peter! Life is so connected to both for many.. Remembrance Sunday/Equality …and then faith life too.. Hope we all can cope with any players having a drink for 30 seconds or so today! #lufc

Take some responsibility. Everything you promote is counter to Christian theology and morality. You're a heretic, using Christianity to pus + poisoned fucked up views.

Well I did decide to leave but then didn’t because I wanted to just now & again share something there - over 6k “people” seen my post so hopefully a few encouraged on less hate!

Mark I do think it needed to be made and if you read it all (and I agree with it all) there were some other reasons for some .. not all related to fast breaking players! Knowledge helps I think but sadly I do expect some boos on Sunday again from a small minority!

As a Christian season ticket holder (& a Vicar at that) I think it’s a good statement - any one who boos has no real excuse they don’t know what is going on-let’s show some respect for what’s just a 1 min break #RamadanMubarak to all #LUFC & #NCFC Muslim fans & hope Leeds win! 🏆
