  1. I know it’s probably not very popular because of what he’s helped us win over the years but I’ve always felt Kasper is a position we could improve on. He’s a good keeper but his inability to come and claim balls costs us consistently and stops him progressing to the next level. 
     

    I’d be tempted to sell him this summer and go in for Pope. 
     

    edit: I’m in no way blaming all of our defensive woes solely at Kasper’s door. The whole lot need to have a look at themselves including the back room staff coaching them!

  2. Certainly not blaming the ref for us not winning the game tonight because we didn’t do enough. But the officiating tonight was scandalous. Without doubt the worst I’ve ever seen. You can forgive one or two bad decisions but the rate at which he was giving Roma every 50/50 and some blatant Leicester dead balls means he is either incompetent, on the payroll at Roma in some capacity or is a forest fan on the wind up. 
     

     

     

     

  3. I can imagine there are genuine reasons for this not making general sale. You can no longer buy memberships so it’s not a way of them flogging more of these. There are probably legitimate concerns about it going to general sale from a security perspective. If they release them for general sale and there is crowd trouble UEFA will have all the stick they need to beat the club with, not to mention I imagine the police have had their say. 
     

    I can empathise with those that have been to other European games this season that now can’t get a ticket, but to be fair to the club they have always advertised memberships as the best (and often only) way to secure match tickets. As others have said though, the common sense compromise would be to release them to those with a booking history. Either way they’re surely going to have to make a decision imminently given the tickets need to be posted out.

    Also take into account that not everyone who are high up on the membership will want a season ticket. Its perfect for me living around 3 hours away, can get priority over general and lower membership points to games I can make when visiting family etc. and can also get tickets for the odd away games near me. I imagine a lot of people are in my position who have moved away from the area.

    Yep. I second this. I’m on a high number of points (into the 80’s last time I checked) but it’s because I’ve never been after a season ticket (even though there have been seasons it would have worked out cheaper!). Being top priority for the 7 or 8 home games I can get to a season due to moving away by accumulating the points year after year suits me. 
     

    Also…for those wondering away points have never counted towards a season ticket previously.

  5. £35 for a European semi final is ok. Not a bargain as some of the other rounds have been but it’s far from a rip off. 
     

    I get the impression a lot of the pricing complaints come predominantly from some season ticket holders who are already in a very privileged (which is no doubt deserved) position when it comes to pricing. As a member I have to pay £40 (ish) for a league game and have not benefited from a price freeze on this figure for the last decade or so. Give me £35 to watch a European semi final over £37 to watch Norwich any day. 

    My point is, you can see how different supporters in different positions will view the price of £35 very differently based on what they’re used to paying.

    Headlines like this always confuse me. 

     

    If you're gonna sack a guy for losing to teams comfortably above you in the league, why not just sack him? 

     

    It's not like they're games against Norwich or Watford. 

    I think the idea is that by letting them carry on and lose against sides they’d expect to lose against it avoids the new manager getting off to a bad start. It’s a psychological thing I guess. Personally I think it makes sense to do it that way. 

  7. It was disappointing last night considering it was only our second ever European quarter final. Sevilla and Atletico were two of the best atmospheres I’ve ever experienced at the KP. I appreciate that was the champions league but we were nowhere near that level.  
     

    It’s one of the reasons I enjoy away games more than home games these days. I’m a member based in the north so for me the ticket price for an away game is less than for a home game, the travel is often less expensive and I enjoy the day more. I hate admitting that I don’t enjoy my trips home to the KP as much as other grounds while supporting the foxes, but it’s where I’m at of late. A massive shame really.

  8. Sickening and disgusting. Made even more so by listening to the audio recording at the end. Hopefully he receives some significant jail time. 
     

    You’d think his football career would be over, but we ourselves kept Danny Simpson on despite him being convicted of domestic violence, so my guess is his career as an elite footballer is over.

    Of course Bruce will probably be glad to be out.

    Anyone losing from now on will probably get a midnight visit from the Saudis heavies

    I’m not sure that’s how they operate. Probably send the manager a letter inviting them to a meeting at an overseas embassy. That’s when you know you’re in trouble.

  10. First time I’ve watched the women’s team. I got into it as it’s Leicester and I think it’s great that we’re incorporating the women’s side into the club so I’d like to get behind them when I can. If I’m honest though the standard was poorer than I’d expected. Ultimately though it’s not the likes of Chelsea that Leicester need to beat if they want to stay in the WSL.

    Chelsea have made loads of changes ahead of a Champions League tie in mid-week.  Yet there is still a maximum of one Leicester player that would get in this Chelsea line up.  The Chelsea bench would beat City even though there are only 9 of them.  Don't get tempted by the 22-1!

    I know very little about women’s football so the fact I recognise some of these Chelsea players probably means they’re decent! The bookies are rarely wrong so the fact Leicester are still around 20/1 at half time in a 0-0 says it all.
