Unfortunately people take the piss (literally) and can be pretty vile in toilets, leaving a trail of destruction behind. It's why councils refuse to keep spending endless amounts of money repairing them before they're destroyed again. Why should businesses make their toilets open for all and sundry, exposing them to an even greater risk of them being trashed, the need to maintain them and, as a result, actual paying customers potentially being put off from using the establishment cos the public can't be trusted. Of course paying customers might be as bad as the main wandering in off the street, and tbh I'd be in support of it being allowed if government or local authorities gave incentives to companies that keep them open, so the increased maintenance costs are absorbed. Until then let private businesses operate as they wish.

Moved away from X a few months ago to Reddit. Only stumbled on the LCFC subreddit a couple of times as I'm not really interested in engaging in football debate on that platform generally. Oh boy, it really does seem like a KPFC, owner apologist, happy clappy set of people? Any dissenting voices get downvoted don't they? Insane.

have you got anything constructive to say in this thread? Seems as though you're assuming right wing things and then getting your politicians mixed up to fit your narrative.

What’s the plan for the next five games
Footballwipe replied to JimmyC74's topic in Leicester City Forum
Help to confirm Forest's place in the UCL next season on the receiving end of a 5-0 drubbing? -
And there it is. Exactly why certain types love today. Any chance to crowbar their culture war nonsense into a day. Happy spending the day complaining every aspect of today will offend everyone St. George's Day.

Championship 2024/2025 Season Thread
Footballwipe replied to Happy Fox's topic in General Football and Sport
They're shit and performative in this day and age. The minority of people go on for the sheer, pure joy. Most people go on for one of the following reasons: To go and goad the away fans To go and goad the opposition players To get a selfie with the players To get a selfie with your mates for the engagement To get on TV Because it's the only acceptable time you can and get away with it Because it's fashionable Ironically the most authentic invasion I can remember is the Watford one against us in 2013. Not even the final whistle, the celebrations to that goal. A true spontaneous outpouring of joy. Not a load of people shuffling down to the side of the pitch with 5 minutes to go. You're dead right, too, about what to do when you're on the pitch. When they're not accosting the players, opposition, away fans or TV cameras, there's just a lot of... standing around on the pitch. -
Wolves (a) Pre - Match - Sat 26 April @ 3.00pm
Footballwipe replied to davieG's topic in Leicester City Forum
Amazing how far we've fallen as a fanbase Would rather £3m than give the younger players some experience. You can't put a price on home grown talent, except you can. One place for prize money. People on here spout about how money has ruined the game, it's also ruined our fans brains and priorities. -
You'd all be calling it a conspiracy in the main forum if that incident was against us and wasn't given. Behave yourselves.

Tbh I'd rather face Arsenal fans and have them win this tie. 2014, 16, 17, 18, 22, 24 is quite enough Real Madrid success for my liking.

Before we just go balls deep on criticising the Premier League for the PSR loophole closure, can we just all be abundantly clear that this is not just the "Premier League" This change was VOTED and RATIFIED by Premier League clubs. The clubs dictate, the Premier League enact. It is not a cosy group of 10 men telling 20 clubs what to do, it's the majority of the Premier League clubs' execs telling the suits what to do. Pin the blame on the club execs who passed this, not the suits. If you're angry about this change then direct your ire in the right direction and don't let the clubs get off without blame.

Yeah I guess calling it not a very good podcast is an appropriate way of summing it up. Always smacked to me of Chris not wanting to give up QK but the other two did, so he's started this and it just doesn't work. The thing that made QK such a success, aside from the guests and correspondence, was the three's clear passion for that decade of football. It's simply not replicated in this one and it's a damn shame cos it had so much potential.

Marching into the club shop the day after De Vries signed, convinced he was the second coming, and getting him and his number on the back of the (very lovely) home shirt. Got Nails on the back of the black sash away shirt, too. All the while being convinced that Craig Levein was an inspired managerial choice. The future was so, so bright.

It's a completely different level and so many variables, but it's really nice to see PSG transform themselves from overpaying for ego-fuelled stars to a stable, functional, entertaining team which seems to have solid foundations to continue its progression even further than what they've achieved.

Season Ticket Renewal Deadline Shut
Footballwipe replied to The Year Of The Fox's topic in Leicester City Forum
I have renewed, but I'm teetering on the brink. Still can't come to terms with not being able to go as I choose and not being able to do away games. I also know myself and I wouldn't bring myself to pay the astronomical matchday prices if I didn't have one but changed my mind. Believe me though, I'm getting there. There have been several occasions this season where I've not done a home or away game and either watched in the house with a few beers, or had lunch with the other half somewhere and got back home to watch the match by "alternative means." I've found that to be far more enjoyable than dragging myself to watch the shower. Full respect to those who have given it up. Complete admiration from me. -
The fact they've both got manslaughter, not murder, suggests they'll get under a decade behind bars. The girl got CONDITIONAL BAIL before sentencing, I read. I don't want to get all internet "judicial system is a farce" but what the actual hell is that about??

If someone said "let's meet up next weekend" to me on the Tuesday 4th, I'd be sat on my arse on Saturday 8th planning to see them on the 15th. It baffles me anyone would think different but that's the beauty of the English language, clearly.

The pressure on this managerial appointment is absolutely insane for the ownership. They need to appoint someone like Maresca who will get us back up and help paper over their mess, give them promotion, a celebration to hijack and provide more fuel for the KPFC lot to keep going in their staunch defence. Mess it up with a divisive, un-inspirational figure who has us in 12th place come the start of December and the zombies/KPFC lot might, just might start waking up.

The "Let's Be Having You" podcast, the 00s successor to Quickly Kevin. I know that not listening to it is an option, but sometimes it's quite enjoyable, and the Ray Stubbs episode was really good to hear his stories. But just to get it off my chest, a quick list of the gripes: A Beautiful Day instrumental is far too long between the intro and them talking. It goes on forever The correspondence is absolutely rubbish, and when they do have it they go off on weird tangents The music used for how to get in touch is some kind of 1920s circus music style?? It's nowhere near 00s The quiz at the end of rubbish because they persist with 11v11 line ups when they know eff all. They chose a 1990s (1990s!!!!!!) Liverpool game v a niche Eastern European team for the Ray Stubbs episode. Absolute bollocks The general banter and chemistry just seems... off? Compared to QK it's not in the same league Despite this whining I'll persist with it, but I can't see it lasting more than four series. Just doesn't have the warmth or humour as its predecessor.

Supposed to be a blinding day on Saturday, so heading to have a pub lunch, few bevvies and then to watch Hinckley. Was planning to watch the Brighton game but that, frankly, can piss off.

Chris Sutton is doing exactly what he sets out to by this thread being created. A click based, anger baiting idiot. Why you lot let him and his ilk get under your skin I've no idea, particularly whilst we're a complete crock of shit. In fact, if he's going to be negative about us now it's probably the most valid and accurate he's been all this time. Anyway, stop giving rage baiting pundits the time of day and chill out

The naysayers posting like Winks has a 9-5 or "normal" job. He's a professional athlete on millions of pounds a year. Stop treating it like it's your dead-end boring corporate shit and realise that this is a team game. Two things can be true. RvN is a shit manager, shit appointment and indicative of the shit decisions we've taken. We're also being taken the piss out of by someone earning so much fvcking money our eyes would water at the thought of staying here one night a week. Some senior people stay in hotels all the time for their employers. Are we having sympathy for them. People on their knees for Winks and flying in front of his bullet are fine, but realise his lack of flexibility says a lot about both him as a person, but also the ingrained shit culture about this club.

Can we do an open top relegation parade just so Rudkin can interview Vardy on the balcony to ask if he's going to get a new contract and stay? It seems to be an effective way to get employees sacked...

I was going to go to this as I'd missed the last three due to a stag/couldn't be bothered on a Friday night/knew we'd get beaten. Not now. Empty seating it and will probably be asleep by the time we're 3-0 down mid way through the second half.

I've had these tickets in the basket three or four times now but I can't bring myself to spend £60 on it to endure the inevitable lacklustre defeat and gloating.
