AS a lifelong fan of Carlisle United, I can confirm the 'behaviour' of Leeds United "fans" before, during and after the game at Brunton Park was the worst I have ever seen at or outside of a football match.
Bearing in mind Leeds fans kicked off amongst themselves outside Elland Road on the day of the Millwall game, is it any wonder this is how those animals behave when they are away from home?

I was there! Carlisle 3 - Leeds 1
FROM BBC Sport:
Carlisle 3-1 Leeds
Carlisle staged a stirring second-half revival to put an end to Leeds's 13-game unbeaten league run.
Leeds dominated before the break and took the lead when Jermaine Beckford coolly slotted in from 10 yards.
But Carlisle got their act together in the second-half and Simon Hackney's superb 25-yard strike drew them level.
Joe Garner's close-range header from a well-worked corner made it 2-1 and Mark Bridge-Wilkinson secured a third win on the trot with a precise late finish.
