Leeds fans have taken to Twitter to react after the club announced that Ezgjan Alioski will face no disciplinary action for his crybaby gesture.
What happened?
You might remember the moment when Alioski pulled a quite hilarious face during the 4-0 win over Burnley at Turf Moor in May.
Strangely, one Burnley player decided to file a complaint against the 29-year-old, perceiving it as a discriminatory gesture.
We respect why they might’ve felt that way, although from our point of view, there was absolutely no malice in the gesture.
Every Leeds fan knows that Alioski is quite an eccentric character, to say the least, and this was nothing out of the ordinary for him.
One Burnley player – who is not named in the club’s statement – admitted calling the 42-cap North Macedonia international a ‘cry baby’ during the game.
Surely then, that was what Alioski was referring to when pulling the face.
Will Ezgjan Alioski stay?
Technically, when the 30th of June comes around, Alioski won’t be a Leeds player.
The Leeds No.10’s contract is expiring. Victor Orta has been in talks with him over signing fresh terms, according to the Mirror.
However, Fenerbahçe have made a move for him, while Trabzonspor and Besiktas are also said to be keen.
Keep your eyes on this saga.
For now, let’s see what the Leeds fans thought of the FA’s verdict…
