johnny the fox Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 I have noticed there are a lot more frivolous and incidental stories related to LCFC, and our players...its cynical and depressing, Hope it don't affect our players ... This is one of the major down sides of our country...
Fox92 Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Try and ignore the media, especially shite like the Sun, Daily Mail, Star etc.
separator Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Build 'em up, knock 'em down. Has always been the way the rags operate.
foxy boxing Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Typical English attitude build them up and then take pleasure in knocking them down
Raj Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Build 'em up, knock 'em down. Has always been the way the rags operate.Correct.The media will hate us next season.
UpTheLeagueFox Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Never worry too much about what other people say, particularly if they mean little to you.
leicesterseddon Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 There are more stories about our players in the papers because they are more famous now. And because they are more for famous, their personal lives are more newsworthy (to tabloids). To suggest this is some kind of conspiracy against LCFC is paranoid nonsense!
Wymsey Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Some of the media are scum of society that think they are entirely innocent and think people they don't like are evil.
Bayfox Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Yes. We will probably now spend a lot of time under more scrutiny. As befits our current profile. Unfortunately tho it says more about society in general and what the buyers of the red tops want to read than it does about out players.
Tuna Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Look at this shite: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/518936/Leicester-City-Jeffrey-Schlupp-arrives-court-days-after-celebration-Aylesbury This sells papers? Then again what sort of pondlife reads the star anyhow!
Carl the Llama Posted 27 May 2016 Posted 27 May 2016 Yeah we never had red tops digging around for scandal stories last summer.
The whole world smiles Posted 28 May 2016 Posted 28 May 2016 Shows how little truth there is in that Star one they think Jeff is on 80k a week
Webbo Posted 29 May 2016 Posted 29 May 2016 just a subconscious conspiracy - City really don't suit the rag writers. they prefer the clique of big spenders - paying 30m for a player is always going to be more newsworthy than paying 400k. so let them get on with it. the football we play is the newsworthy part. So the tabloids have never done stories about big team players like Rooney,Giggs or Gerrard?
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 29 May 2016 Posted 29 May 2016 There was a lot of Media and so called experts that were waiting for us to fail this season too until it became quite clear we were going to win it or get very close, not sure why it's such a surprise that they will try it again.
Livid Posted 30 May 2016 Posted 30 May 2016 Seasons over, euro's haven't started. They need to fill space with something.
sylofox Posted 30 May 2016 Posted 30 May 2016 Look at this shite: http://www.dailystar.co.uk/news/latest-news/518936/Leicester-City-Jeffrey-Schlupp-arrives-court-days-after-celebration-Aylesbury This sells papers? Then again what sort of pondlife reads the star anyhow! Depends how it is looked at Simpson got hammered on here for beating a woman.Had it not been in the press who would have known. Schlupp has bailed a woman beater mate says a little about him as a person. I would have let the cvnt rot. Oh what sort of pondlife do read the star? You tell us you must have been on the website. Else how did you get the link to post it lol
LanguedocFox Posted 30 May 2016 Posted 30 May 2016 To quote Nigel Pearson: "Pr!ck" [apply to any tabloid sports "journalist" you care to name]
HighPeakFox Posted 30 May 2016 Posted 30 May 2016 Seasons over, euro's haven't started. They need to fill space with something. Exactly
Soar Fox Posted 30 May 2016 Posted 30 May 2016 80k a week If Schluup is on £80k a week you dread to think what a good player is on.
Tielemans63 Posted 30 May 2016 Posted 30 May 2016 I trained to be a journalist after I left Uni (I naively thought it was all about writing for a living). I've worked with a number of journalists (albeit at a very large regional paper, not a national one) and they were ruthless to a degree that would take your breath away. Some of them are pure evil, seriously. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk
m4DD0gg Posted 30 May 2016 Posted 30 May 2016 doubt very much whether ranieri or the players read the media, well perhaps just to laugh.
Kendal Fox Posted 30 May 2016 Posted 30 May 2016 How can it be a case of building us up and knocking us down?We were the best team in the Premier League and consolidated that fact by winning it, then, consolidated it again with the dismantling of Everton - despite being tired and partied out - and finally, the 10 point margin we forged in the eventual table standings. Not like Man City (under Mancini) who could only win on GD because Utd screwed it up. That was not a convincing PL title win for them yet nobody holds it against them. Or the fact they had to buy the PL title and still were unconvincing??!I've always thought that addage/phrase was used more as distraction tactic for people - sportsmen/women who simply were'nt good enough when their potentially defining moment arrived, then were rightfully criticised for being overrated, etc. We were'nt just good enough, we won the league by one of the biggest margins in years - nobody can take that away from us. The hate is from the glory hunter sheep that hang on every word and action of the "Big Clubs" and jealous insiders who lost money because they sponsor the "Big Clubs" in one way or another.
rmahrez Posted 30 May 2016 Posted 30 May 2016 Shows how little truth there is in that Star one they think Jeff is on 80k a week Actually think this is the case, after all last season he was our player of the season and there was rumoured interest from Arsenal which I think led to a bumper new contract. Hard to remember now after the season we've had... http://www.totalsportek.com/money/leicester-city-salaries/
Dan Posted 30 May 2016 Posted 30 May 2016 Always disappoints me how few turn on the media. They're the worst of the lot.
