Yep, this isn't hugely new and I think a few on here have said it's the new operations gang. I got a "random" search going into the ground on Tuesday, and had to turn out my pocket when I dinged the scanner (guess what, keys) I'd like to know the basis of these random searches, because based on what I witness it's essentially whenever the person can be arsed or feels like causing someone an inconvenience. If anything would drive me away from games at the KP, it's feeling criminalised going into my own home end.

Based on this thread I went and bought the Barrie Pierpoint book and the O'Neill, Crest of a Wave book. I've just finished the Pierpoint one and I have to say quite how disappointed I was with it, to be honest. I won't go into the detail that I could but I found it really lacking. Don't get me wrong, there's a decent level of inside detail in there, stuff I never knew and was really interested to find out, but the writing isn't fantastic, the quotes from fans seem completely pointless, the book wanders off at times and at the crunch moment, the bit we've all been waiting for, Pierpoint only scratches the surface. He does preface this that he doesn't want to seem bitter, doesn't want to use the book as a revenge misson, that's fine, but there's so much more he could've gone into. Instead it's very much "I was right" and lots of people saying how amazing Barrie was. It's a real shame, because the stuff about the Carling Stand is super, but it races through so many parts of our history. Don't regret buying it, though, despite me negging on it.

Celtic should absolutely not move south, and if they do they start in at least the national league. They have no right to take the place of any team in the football league. Just because they have a big fan base, and being handed champions league £ every season is not a reason. May as well just start inviting anyone in on that basis. Ajax? PSV maybe? It's only 250 miles from London to Amsterdam and they've got a big fanbase. Get em on board. Notwithstanding any of the above, the thought of the toxicity of either of those two in English football would inevitably bring is the stuff of nightmares. Keep it where it is.

Lol, have it and take it you utter hypocrite. Being against homosexuality is not political. You're showing your true colours and you cannot stand it, can you. Sensational stuff really when you think about it. The bit in bold is equally as sensational. I NEVER SEEN IT SO IT DON'T HAPPEN. You really are a piece of work.
-
Quite, it really outs a lot of people's own prejudices when they think being against a homophobic player is politics in football. Very telling on those individuals tbh
-
Would be totally this club's hierarchy to preach equality, diversity, champion Foxes Pride and then throw it all in the trash to buy someone openly homophobic.

Feels like Jenas has a few paths now: Become a full-time talkSPORT rent-a-gob, become a High Performance lad on some podcast, or succumb to the temptation and money of GB News, embracing the grift.

£6.50 for a Chang, meaning at the current rate we'll be at £7 in a couple of seasons £3.40 for a Pepsi Max, £3 for water and the £6 for a can of Guinness Zero. What the actual earth goes through the minds of the drones who stand in the queue willing to pay for this stuff? The most baffling thing is that it's not a captive audience. You're not forced into the ground 2 hours before kick off, it's not a 5 hour event, it's not 32 degrees and everyone is gasping. You can get a water/coke/slug a few bevs before the match at a fraction of the cost. And yet, the drones go on queuing and paying for it. Game after game after game.

Went to Coalville Town at the weekend after really enjoying Hinckley. Was tempted to go to Barwell but it was £12 entry, plus wanted to try a new ground, and I'd never been to Coalville town centre before Quite enjoyed it tbh, a decent atmosphere even if they did get tonked.

Serge's Leicester poem
Footballwipe replied to The whole world smiles's topic in Leicester City Forum
I like that you can cut it off at 90 seconds so it can be used when Cooper isn't at the club anymore. Gives it a little bit of longevity anyway -
You might have seen this one and tbh it's not 'detailed' but the topic of where we might have moved to fascinates me so any excuse to post it I was doing a Google search for that image as I knew it existed and came across a really old City Council document about Bede Island South. Thought this passage was quite funny/sad (depending on your mood)

Worst season in the clubs history incoming.
Footballwipe replied to Allenho11's topic in Leicester City Forum
I think "worst in the club's history" is classic knee-jerk internet hyberbole, but the other side of this coin is frightening. There are people in this thread, on this forum, and on social media just "ready for the football," excited to get back to the KP, "go and support Man City blah blah" etc. It's absolute nonsense. Nonsense. At the rate we're going we could be set for a long, hard slog of a season. The kind of season where we lose 4-0 to Man City at home, glum 0-2 defeats to Crystal Palace. You know, the kind of result that gets people booing and whining their arses off when the excitement of the new season has well and truly worn off (and let's be honest, it doesn't take much for our fans to do that.) The "hands over eyes I'm just here for the football" attitude is ridiculous. We have missed out on multiple transfer targets, have a points deduction hanging over our shoulders, have an average manager and had an insipid pre-season where we've shown we clearly need to bolster the squad. It's not about being doom monger. You know, we might surprise everyone and finish 15th, and it'll give all the happy clappers the ammunition to sit on their throne of superiority. But lordy, come on now. We are being mismanaged from the top, have a severely weak squad for the level we're about to compete at, feel rudderless and without any kind of long term vision. People are worried, they have a right to be worried. They might get carried away with the language used on how the season will go, but there has been nothing since we got promoted that gives any indication we'll perform at this level. -
I wish I had the time and free space emotionally in my head to get wound up by stuff like this. Jesus. Isn't the only answer really that you go and start your own forum? "Free speech Foxes" or something. You can leave everything there unmoderated and untouched. But of course like the big brave people you are you'll sit and whine rather than do anything to alleviate yourselves of the great pain of *checks notes* having a post/thread removed on a forum.

Interesting on the last one with Julie: Goes to show that for every repeat offender with 170 convictions there's the quiet keyboard warrior casually calling for the death of people who thinks nothing of it. Actions have consequences. Daily Mail comments of her sentencing are wild, btw. Completely ignoring the actual content of her post.

The Warren Lane one is causing absolute uproar particularly, isn't it? I ran past them at about 5:30am this morning and there were about 10 cars stacked waiting to go towards the city, it was crazy. I'm taking a huge, long detour every day to get back home from work to avoid that bit. There's also temp lights at the rounadbout in Kirby Muxloe, so the traffic on the road over the M1 backs up, too. Tbf the work needs doing to alleviate that bad flooding that occurs at the junction, and I fully sign up to the narrative that there's no good time to do some roadworks, it's a "hold nose, get it done" thing, but I also realise it's a really poor look to keep most of the carriageway closed off (and at the weekend) when it only looks like you're working on a tiny portion of it.

Jesus Christ this season really is going to be another insufferable year of thinking the PL are corrupt against us Just like every other team in the PL. I'm struggling to work out who they're FOR. Can we have a separate thread for you to all whine in about referees, so this is kept clear for non-tin foil hat chat?

I think it's interesting that the sentences yesterday (particularly the three year sentence for the idiot who punched a copper) have managed to piss off both the left and the right. The right wing whataboutery is either the ridiculous argument that A) the attacker from last week won't have anything done until Jan 25, B) that the men who attacked the police at Manchester Airport haven't been imprisoned, or C) have just shouted MUSLIM GROOMING GANGS Meanwhile, the left wing whataboutery are pissy that he got three years whilst the Just Stop Oil protesters got five years "for attending a zoom meeting" . Of course, there's more to all of these. I think a lot of people spouting this also know full well that there's more to all of these other scenarios, but they're choosing to ignore it all to push the agenda. Really is a plague on both houses. Is it any wonder people fall for misinformation and misrepresentation of situations when it's being so deliberately peddled to fit narrative and agenda?

Well late to this, but thank you to those who recommended somewhere to go for the FA Cup last week. Ended up at Hinckley AFC. Weather was great, good price on drinks in the clubhouse, only £8 to get in and a bit of cricket taking place next to the ground as well. Really enjoyed it. Will be exploring either them or other teams more often if I can.

Do you not think there is an enormous hypocrisy in your post talking about "shouty leftists" when you're annoyed at people being labelled as a racist with a broad brushstroke? Can you not see you're doing exactly what you think is happening to you? I suspect the reason that everyone is condemning the riots and the racism is that there have been people using three dead children as an excuse to loot various high street shops, cause terror to normal everyday non-white folk and call for the burning of places housing asylum seekers. All of this stoked by various right-wing individuals of differing degrees of position, power and authority. The incident in Birmingham, which was covered by the media, is an isolated incident but has also gained coverage. It won't make headline news on bulletins or front pages, because it's one incident. Across the country in the last week we've seen racists goading the police, attacking non-white people, looting shops and causing carnage. That is a huge issue for many reasons and is being covered as such. I don't think there's anything hugely wrong in talking about the lack of integration in some towns, I suspect anyone saying there aren't immigrants who haven't integrated is lying. It should also be acknowledged that the many, many British people who go and live abroad without any integration, including the language, also highlights this isn't. You claim not to have been on Tommy marches but you've done an awful lot of Tommy defending on here. You claim not to be a racist but Tommy Robinson is an overt racist with extreme views. Defending him is quite the hill. If it walks like a duck, if it looks like a duck, if it quacks like a duck...

Cool story. But that's all it is, a story. More falsehood narratives being spouted on here as per. Foxestalk needs moderators who actually care about the truth. Even the Daily Mail managed to report the actual truth https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13703191/White-House-Biden-really-doing-plane-Kamala-Harris.html?ito

They don't care about the kids, how do people not realise this? They just want to use them as a reason to cause carnage and be scumbags. The same will happen tomorrow and the useless idiots will smash up their own country whilst boosting Tommy's coffers for more white stuff and rent for his foreign homes. Thick as pig shit.

Benguin the jesus man and Slaney the outright racist must be buzzing at this video. They love English buildings and authoritative institutions being destroyed by their own. As long as they're destroyed by people of the right skin colour, of course 👍👍👍

Paris Olympic Games 2024
Footballwipe replied to EastAnglianFox's topic in General Football and Sport
Well, no. She's female. Born female, is female, and there wasn't much fuss in her other victories or the NINE defeats she has suffered at the hands of other females. The Italian's performative nonsense has played perfectly into the hands of the narrative. It's insanely wild that people thinking Algeria, renowned for its liberal stance on trans rights, would let a transgender person compete in the Olympics. Can I also ask why, if a female has an elevated level of testosterone, and thus considered a competitive advantage, we don't or didn't ban others like Phelps, who had double the lung capacity of normal men, from swimming? This whole farce is a nonsense, cruel and ridiculous. We simply applaud the Italian boxer for doing everything they could to whip up this storm.
