Supporters in Yorkshire were accused of racism after boos rained down on Manchester City players breaking their fast after the sun went down last week, with the chorus from the stands roundly criticised. In a statement shared on Friday, Leeds again gave fans the benefit of the doubt over the 'disappointing and unexpected' behaviour of their home faithful, outlining four possible explanations as to why some had booed. Only in the minds of the Leeds fans that booed do we know the motivation, and all the usual suspects will seek to say, "A-ha, alive and kicking. Jordan also queried the significance of an immediate pause, instead suggesting that those breaking their fast wait until 'half-time'. As per the statement, on Sunday, Leeds striker Joel Piroe, if he is on the pitch at that time, could join Norwich City players in breaking their fast around 5.56pm - approximately the 75th minute of the match.
