Jeff Stelling moved to distance himself by a decision from talkSPORT when discussing Leeds United live on air on Wednesday (29 May).
Stelling and Ally McCoist were readying themselves to discuss the Whites on the Breakfast Show when a recorded version of the chant “Leeds are falling apart again”, sung to the tune of Joy Division’s “Love will tear us Apar” was played prior to them coming back on air.
However, the decision was not particularly welcomed by Stelling, nor his co-presenter McCoist.
Speaking live on talkSPORT (7:20am), Stelling said: “That’s a bit harsh. That was ‘Leeds are falling apart’ which is pretty darn derogatory isn’t it Coisty?”
McCoist replied: “I think so!”
Stelling finished by saying: “Shall we just distance ourselves from that? We had nothing to do with that did we?”
Leeds United already desperate to silence the doubters
Leeds fans are so used to hearing this “banter” chant that nowadays it is water off a duck’s back and often the Whites’ fanbase will chant it ironically themselves.
