A career in print magazines that included editing PC Zone, launching PokerPlayer and redesigning The Big Issue has finally led Dave to writing about the love of his life, Leeds United. It’s been a tough 2020 but the single scariest moment was the first quarter of the game against Man City. Rodrigo will be the saviour this season.

Leeds United fans aren't happy after the club was fined £20,000 by the FA for their celebrations at Derby County last season. 

Leeds were fined by the FA who said: "The club failed to ensure that its players and/or officials conducted themselves in an orderly fashion as pyrotechnic devices were used following the completion of a fixture against Derby County FC in the EFL Championship on 19 July 2020."

The FA were quoted by BBC journalist Adam Pope as saying, "We are surprised the Club could not identify from a small number of candidates who brought the devices to the ground."

The Derby game was the first since Leeds secured promotion and won the Championship title.

The fine was reduced from £30,000 because of mitigating factors as "no one was threatened, endangered nor injured and that the club apologised immediately."

However, many fans aren't happy and think that it's any excuse to fine Leeds.

The massive fine handed out to the club after the SpyGate scandal is still a very sore point for Leeds supporters.

The game against Derby was played in an empty stadium with no fans present and thus there was no risk of injury to any member of the public.

And some fans wanted to know if West Brom were also going to get a fine after a player was pictured with a flare after winning promotion against QPR.

We're still waiting for any confirmation on that – so far it's just Leeds who have been punished and that really rankles.

Here are the best reactions from annoyed Leeds fans...
