And it’s a tradition now, we do that every fucking match against them.

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

No football for fascists. Not even in England. #fuckyoujurgen

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…

Would <love> to hear Bielsa’s thoughts on Red Bull GmbH #lufc

Wrote about the origins of the Yorkshire Rose crest. An incredible competition with mad designs that ended with #LUFC refusing to pay the winner. thesquareball.net/leeds-united...

"They want a world where people know the worst truths but are prohibited from discussing them." sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/jackhammer...

Right arm in pain now from holding it up for an hour during Gianni Infantino’s press conference World Cup press conference and being studiously ignored by FIFA’s comms head Bryan Swanson. What was there to worry about after all FIFA is now a transparent and trusted organisation. 😳

THERE IS AN ACTIVE POGROM IN NORTHERN IRELAND. FASCISTS IN SKULL MASKS ARE GOING DOOR TO DOOR PULLING MIGRANTS OUT OF THEIR HOMES AND SETTING THEM ON FIRE.

Leeds fans upset at overnight scenes in the UK and the media’s role may be interested to know Red Bull GmbH has used its Austrian channel ServusTV to stoke the same tensions for a decade. #lufc

This is what a pogrom looks like: men in masks coming to drive you from your home. This is a collective failure of our political and media class because we did not have the courage to say no, and because too many were allowed to embrace this without shame

Fascinating how none of this seems to have been picked up by the name Leeds writers, but hey. If anyone’s arsed, I’ll post a thing on here I’ve been looking at which has altered the way I think about modern football fandom and Leeds’ current ownership model. #lufc

Wrote recently how Leeds are both in/not in two MCOs and along comes another with Colombia’s Deportivo Cali, announced on LinkedIn last week by a private equity firm headquartered in Guatemala. #lufc

This is quite a vexatious topic, but I do find it ironic that the same club which emails us before every home game with a reminder that its an offence to use racist, homophobic or anti-Semitic language then consciously uses a platform which is deliberate megaphone for all three. #lufc

Leeds fans now without a club on here should follow @austriasalzburg.bsky.social 💜🤍 #scheissredbull #neinzurb #svas #lufc

Imagine that a club sponsored and co-owned by a far-right platforming media and marketing company would prefer X #lufc

My Grandfathers on my mother & father’s side never met, they were born in respectively Eastern Europe & North Africa but both gave up years of their lives to go & kill fascists across multiple battlefronts. Today most people won’t even leave a website for a near identical website to oppose fascism.

I’m not the most moral person but after Twitter was bought out by somebody who helped to elect a paedophile who in turn openly socialises with & facilitates other paedophiles, then introduces an AI agent to generate imagery for paedophiles, I do have to wonder about people who opt to stay on there.

Hard to adequately convey the disappointment regarding LUFC decision to abandon Bluesky. The owner of X is not just a racist & misogynist but his actions have done unimaginable damage to humanity. He facilitated the election of Trump & the withdrawal of USAID is equivalent to mass murder. #lufc

Imagine that a club sponsored and co-owned by a far-right platforming media and marketing company would prefer X #lufc

After playing at New York Red Bulls this summer, Leeds are to host RasenBallsport Leipzig in August. #neinzuRB #scheissredbull #lufc

Congrats on doing what I never did in 10 years at Viz: getting “fuck” on the front cover 👍 @robconlon.bsky.social @eamov1.bsky.social @oddytsb.bsky.social @michaeltsb.bsky.social @dan.thesquareball.net @cmcmenamy.bsky.social 👏 #lufc

Daniel Beichler fired after 14 games in Red Bull Salzburg’s worst-ever season. Needed more time 👍

Tobi Rohrmoser signs two-year extension at @austriasalzburg.bsky.social. Already a fan favourite, for obvious reasons 💜 #svas #scheissredbull

After Sorda, Sandmayr and Kalmann, defender Matthias Theiner leaves Austria Salzburg on good terms after 7 years. Rebuild required in Maxglan this summer with the exit of key players and the transition to a full pro set-up. #svas

Final 2. Liga round today, but no game for 9th-placed @austriasalzburg.bsky.social as it would’ve been at Stripfing who withdrew last year. #svas #ligazwa

Austria Lustenau could seal the 2. Liga title in Maxglan tonight, but will in-form @austriasalzburg.bsky.social piss on their parade? Kick off: 17:00 UK Livestream: www.laola1.at/de/sportdate... #svas #ligazwa

Every time Marsch does this I remember this Austria Salzburg fan’s view in February 2022 #lufc

Final awayday today for @austriasalzburg.bsky.social at Sturm Graz II, who've switched the game 60km to Leoben to accommodate die Austria's anticipated following. Auf geht's! 💜🤍 Kick off 13:30 UK Livestream: www.laola1.at/de/sportdate...

Farewell after five years at Die Austria to Manuel “Kali” Kalman; goalkeeper and feierbiest who defied doctors to play in last season's promotion decider #svas

The first time a Red Bull GmbH club has played at Wembley, the biggest UK football platform yet for its energy drinks brand and associated Austrian TV channel’s conspiracy theory and far-right ideology. #lufc

Had reports at the time not just focused on his remarks on Klopp and Red Bull, we'd already know of Farke's love of literature. #lufc

Last time Austria Salzburg were in 2. Liga, points deductions and insolvency meant 7 wins and 11 draws resulted in the first of two relegations from which it took ten years to recover. #svas #ligazwa

Arch enemies Austria Salzburg and Austria Wien fans join to chant "Scheiss Red Bull" ("Fuck Red Bull") on Friday night 💜🤍 #svas #scheissredbull #neinzuRB Via www.instagram.com/reel/DXR64bx...

⚽📘Wrote in Issue 7 @TheSquareBall about Dezso Solti. A match-fixing pimp and stolen art dealer who quite likely fixed the 1973 CWC final #lufc thesquareball.net/leeds-united...

Been writing about some of the lessons we can take from To Catch a Fascist by @letsgomathias.bsky.social novaramedia.com/2026/04/16/w...

Sports owners are using tech to build private surveillance states — while taking public money. Which means that Knicks owner James Dolan is the future. In a new collaboration with @wired.com, we go inside how MSG secretly watches fans, surveils kids, tracks players… youtu.be/yNZ3hJPN5Vc?...

IDC’s AGM included 49ers Enterprises' Raminder Dhadwal and Atlético Madrid Marketing Director Valerio Gori on "the institutionalization of football, evolving ownership models, and why the asset class is attracting long-term capital." #lufc

Pimps, Fixers and Fine Margins @cmcmenamy.bsky.social wonders if Dezso Solti might provide the answers to some questions about an infamous night in Leeds United’s history. Free to read from Issue 7 of our mag thesquareball.net/leeds-united/pimps-fixers-and-fine-margins/

No bulls, nice work 👍 #neinzurb #lufc

Excellent conversation with @casmudde.bsky.social on a topic I've been thinking about recently with regards to Red Bull GmbH and ServusTV: on football, democratic erosion and authoritarianism. #lufc

Respects paid by @austriasalzburg.bsky.social following the tragic death of former Arsenal and Austria international goalkeeper Alex Manninger, 48, who began his career as a youth at his hometown club in Salzburg. #svas

If you happen to be up that way, the fine people at @grovebookshop.bsky.social in Ilkley now stock my Leeds United novel 'Days of Treacle' #lufc

“Will another Orban victory cement the shift to the right in Europe, will his illiberal democracy even become a role model for us?“ ServusTV’s Hungarian election dreams are in bits 👍 #lufc

When RB Leipzig lifted its first major trophy in 2022, @matt4d.bsky.social wrote how Red Bull GmbH had spent 13 years subverting the rules and tapping into a local siege mentality in Saxony which may sound familiar to Leeds fans. #lufc www.dw.com/en/rb-leipzi...

Was at a family wedding yesterday, sparing you updates from @austriasalzburg.bsky.social’s home 0-0 against title-chasing Admira Wacker. A third straight draw; a solid point <and> a Cyndi Lauper tifo 💜🤍 #svas #ligazwa
