I’m really not sure what the OP is saying.

 

The fans negativity has not contributed one iota to our demise. It’s all on the owner and the highly paid people he employs.

 

Whether you enjoy the complaining is another matter. But who bothers posting on a football forum to say nice things? The motivation to post is based on annoyance.

 

"The fans negativity has not contributed one iota to our demise". We don't really know if this is true or not, do we? It certainly hasn't helped.

I really don’t want to see him anywhere near the club next season, I think his ego will not allow him to hang around league one getting bullied week in and week out. I think had we managed to stay up then he would have hung around for the final 12 months of his contract and feathered his nest, I think relegation will see him cut and run albeit for a very minimal fee. 

I agree that he'll probably leave one way or the other but I think "bullied week in and week out" flies in the face of him clearly being the best player on the team is many games - even though most fans seem loathe to admit it

Wining Saturday will be a bigger miracle than winning the Premier League that’s how shit this team is 

That's a bit much - even for FoxesTalk ranting!

Needs to become more vocal for me. That first goal for QPR needed him to communicating with the keeper and vice versa

 

Completely preventable goal.

And for the second goal keeper needed to give him a shout?

We are in that situation where we are relying on other results to save us.

No, we're just in a position where other results might either help or harm our chances of staying up.

Saw Jakub at Ragdale Hall today. Told him Luke Thomas was the amongst the worst players I’ve ever seen. He laughed (seemingly knowingly) and walked on! 

Laughing at you??

Problem is, there is plenty of evidence from on the pitch performances that our fans hostile stance to all things around the club is having an impact on the players.

 

Take Ricardo’s mistake on Saturday for example - an unthinkable one from someone like him;

 

That mistake had nothing to do with his physical condition regardless of whether you think he’s past it or not - that was a mental mistake and that comes from pressure and lack of confidence.

 

Monga is another, who’s performances don’t look as free flowing as they did - and it becomes difficult for a manager to give and young kid minutes if the general stadium  atmosphere is less than supportive (even if the abuse isn’t aimed directly at those younger players - because if they see senior players getting stick, then are they not going to play it safe and within themselves as well?).

 

For another example, look at how much better James Justin is doing at Leeds now he’s being used properly and moved away from a set of supporters that were calling him shit on social media every week for the past two years.

 

Now I’m not appealing to you not to protest, “boooo” or shout obscenity towards any of our players etc - you pay for your ticket, you can do what you want.

 

BUT - don’t kid yourself that those sort of actions are not becoming a significant contributing factor to the plight we’re in now and the performances that you are witnessing.

 

The bond between fans and players, the mutual love, that was so powerfully there on that wonderful night in Preston - has gone; and that is a big, big issue for the club.

I agree with this post by DJ Barry Hammond. We all have the right to express our views and acknowledge that these complaints are driven by a desire for future improvement, but remember the protests have  many consequences. Some of the toxicity spewed on here and fan channels are likely to be detrimental to current team performances, as they get spread and amplified by the "sheeple".

Genuinely though, would love his take on what he thinks the actual objective of PSR is? Because it quite clearly is meant to hamstring smaller clubs to benefit the big boys. But curious if he has any defence of the system as a whole or if as an expert he equally thinks it’s daft for the game 

This!  And does he think PSR conditions will be revised in the near future?

When Ricky P, the calmest, experienced, consummate professional is moaning and getting wound up with his own teammates and officials , you know there’s a serious serious problem in this club. 

Or he just cares about the team and the match result?

Agree with the Schmiechel votes - a huge factor in league title win and FA Cup win.

I didn't see the game, but I remember the day well and the accolades Gordon Banks got from press and teammates for holding off relentless LIverpool shots in Leicester 1-0 win in FA Cup semi-final in 1963.

Never known someone more deluded. 

I thought Graham's comments on recent BlueTintedGlasses were excellent, even though he got in a squabble with Anil, who I normally like very much.

The only thing that caught my eye was "An EFL transfer embargo was also lifted on Thursday."

 

Oh and pedants...should the full stop come before or after the quotation marks? Asking for a friend

Your punctuation is correct as the quote is a complete sentence. Full-stop goes outside if the quotation is not a complete sentence (in UK, but not in USA!).

In 2019, I had a drink at this beach bar ("Sunshine's" home of the "Killer Bee" cocktail) in Nevis (island in West Indies)

God I hope my trusty stream is reliable tomorrow morning. For us lot in the US it’s going to be one last 4:30am wake up call but worth it.  🤞🏽🤞🏽

I’ll be envious of everyone in Leicester partying after the game. Gonna be epic!

East coast with a more reasonable 7:30 am start!

We need this to be a jigsaw puzzle!

I'm in the. US with Fox Hub subscription. 

I couldn't connect for the start of Bristol game, but after I restarted my computer it worked (coincidence?), so I missed about 5-10 mins of first half.

I'm in the US and have a subscription.  Works well. Only hitch I've had was needing to log out and log back into my account to activate video.

I stream from Macbook Pro to TV - should work with any decent computer though. 

I actually like listening to the biased commentary.

Agree with Vardy (Man U), Mahrez (Man C) and Schmeichel (Chelsea) plus Kante (various) from last 10 years.

But Gordon Banks vs Liverpool FA Cup Semi-final in 1963 deserve a mention from an old timer.

In Canada they say A-loo-minum (Aluminum).

 

I grew up with dad saying the brit way as thats where we are from but you say it the canadian way when amongst canadians

 

Same thing with other words like "garage". Over here it's "ga-raj".

It's spelt differently though; aluminUM vs aluminIUM which explains the different pronunciations - for that word anyway

You seem to have trashed my spelling twice in two days and I had to google it as molly coddle. I should know better, shameful effort 😕!

 

But yes, to indulge oneself which I also (using the phrase) got in reverse by default. Terrible, terrible, terrible!

I like moddiecoddle - i.e., the mods of the forum going easy on him for a while

Agree that the post-game discussion can get a bit repetitive, but bear in mind they're just trying to fill time till Rogers is available.

I actually enjoy all the podcasts and I think the new Boot Room is better without the regular BIrchenall in the pub spot.

Organized football at my primary school in Leicester the mid 60s was essentially non-existent. My secondary school only officially played rugby which I was fairly good at, but always resented not being able to play football so my heart was never into rugby. I played football every day in pickup games at lunchtimes. After uni for bachelors and PhD, I moved to the US, got married had children and by coaching my kids soccer team I was connected to players in the adult soccer league in the area.  So in my mid 30s I finally got to play on a proper soccer team! Since then I played once or twice a week on over-30 and over-40 teams and finally hung up the boots in my mid 50s, with a knee injury.  I thought when coming from England the standard of soccer in US would not be that great, only to find teams with US college-level players and sprinkled with ex-pros who had emigrated from Europe and South America. Glad to say I more than held my own as a mid.

Vival claim to be showing the game. Anyone used this before? I'm in the US. Thanks

Get him in as a defensive coach maybe! Defense was a shambles parts of last year

I enjoyed seeing him quiz Brendan about defensive tactics after the game v Notts C. - maybe trying to impress with an eye to getting a coaching position?
