3-2 Man City now losing because their players' names are written on their ridiculous shirts in Comic Sans font.

You don't need to have someone point out a threat. In addtion to visually monitoring every entrant and asking to see in bags, they can have "random" physical searches. Obviously they need to have laid-down procedures for this and use a proper randomiser, to avoid being accused of adverse profiling patterns. They then ask for permission to do a search, which is limited in what they are allowed to do (i.e. a pat- down over the clothes, not a full body search). If the person refuses, the venue will form a view about the reasons for this and will almost always have reserved the right to decline admission.

Terrorists change their methods. Whilst there are terrorists attacking large gatherings, like the examples I quoted, we are all stuck with security checks. We go through them in airports, getting into Museums in Big Cities and, yes, sporting events. Glad to see that you are relaxed enough about the subject to adopt a mocking tone. No need, really. No, that's not the truth, that is definitely your opinion. If someone wants to bring in a machete, or a bag packed with explosives, or other stuff we haven't thought of, through a security check, they are going to have a tougher time achieving that than if there are no such checks. I can't believe I'm having to explain this. I disagree. Any organisation inviting large numbers of the public to its premises has a duty to protect them. As I pointed out with the examples I gave in my original post, a large gathering of people might present a tempting target for those who wish to do great harm. LCFC, like other clubs, is bound to take measures to protect those attending. Now, you might take correct issue with how security behave to fans once they are inside the ground, but that's not what I was talking about.

I appreciate that the OP doesn't like the level of security, but since terrorists murdered crowds at Ariana Grande and The Bataclan, getting delayed while people are checked, and seeing what you might think is too much security, are going to happen at any large gathering. If something terrible were to happen at a football match, questions would immediately be asked about entry checks and the level of security. Whenever I get stuck in such a check, I don't blame the venue. I blame the world we live in.

Him and Legolas.

Manu Petit was spot on when he singled out the keeper as a weak spot.

Sunday afternoon = Drury Shout-athon

Disagree, it came off his hand, which was not by his side, to divert the ball away from where the keeper was diving. Deffo disallow.

Havertz celebrating the goal Havertz tapping his chest

Spurs are not doing great and we are ever-obliging. Good luck with that.

LCFC 0-2 Fulham, post match thread
Vacamion replied to Phil Mitchell's topic in Leicester City Forum
Painful to watch. Must be painful to play for us and manage us, too. -
Bringing off Bilal was the final straw that turned the crowd, I think.
-
That was weird, it was almost as if Traore used to play for us and it was a deliberate n9n celebration.
-
I just think we have to start SOMEWHERE, from an utterly horrible low base.
-
Would take 0-0. Would prefer a shithoused 1-0, the goal going in off Timmy's arse on 86 minutes.

Lot of optimism in this thread COYB

Castagne, playing attackers onside, versus Vardy, continually straying offside. I think we may have found an infinite power source, or a universe-ending paradox.
-
People rightly praising Iraola should perhaps be considered in light of his opening 10 game winless period. If Ruud goes 10 games without a win they will be burning effigies of him.

Euphemisms to describe our current plight.

It's bad enough with Danny Ward the Welsh Goalie from Llandidntsaveany and Gavin Ward the ref whose mate posted in here in the classic thread, but now you tell us there is ANOTHER Ward. Oh noes. -
See, I was more thinking of my heritage as a "Chissit" from the Saff

Have you ever read a Leicester City match thread?

Ramsdale should do better, there. Good.
