Red button 2

"What could possibly go wrong?" I asked in an earlier Red Button post about the option given by Sky for fans to use an app to choose spectator chants for the "fake soundtrack" for football matches without supporters.

I should also have directed that question at the offers made by many clubs of having fans' photographs made into cardboard cutouts for display on seats (because we are dumb enough to think there are real supporters in the ground).

This evening it is reported that Leeds United have removed a cardboard cutout of Usama Bin Laden from one of their seats.

All 44 clubs in the Premier League and Championship are now presumably checking their cardboard cutouts for photos of Stalin, Hitler and Genghis Khan. Which you think they might have done before.
