Milo Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Thought they were quality last night, tbh...non stop singing, noise and a fair bit of energy... ...and they were taking the piss with some of their chants...in a second language, ffs!! I'm missing the roar, energy and vibrancy of last season - suppose its a bit two-way with whats happening on the pitch...are we making the players nervous, or are they making us nervous??

Brugge's players clearly didn't make their fans nervous if they were as good as you say they were (heard them a few times from SK1 but didn't think they were that consistent personally). At the end of the day, they just have a better mentality than our travelling support did in Copenhagen, as in they've travelled all that way to watch their team so why not make a racket and enjoy themselves regardless of what's going on on the pitch. For a lot of Euro supports, how they acquit themselves in the stands can be as important as how their team does. Shame the majority of our fanbase don't have that mindset.
Monsell1976 Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Not making us nervous, just frustrating us with their lack of ideas, and general shite play. I sing every game, but that Watford performance didn't deserve support, but they got it. How long that lasts I don't know, another shocker Saturday, could see the crowd turn on them.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Didn't hear them once in SK1, Copenhagen were much better imo.
tyfox Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 I sat in fs for all the home games and Bruges were the best away fans we have had imo

I just love how people put are support down but praise others, that aren't that good. I don't know where in the ground you were last night, but their support wasn't that good. Loud at the start, and then hardly a sound until our players lost interest, and gave them a glimpse of a comeback.
SemperEadem Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Had it kicked off in the day? There was a ton of riot vans parked around the corner of SK1.

I didn't particularly praise them myself, I was just going off what the OP said and offering an explanation to his question. Copenhagen were certainly going for it all game. If our support's good I'll always give us credit, as it was in Bruges. It wasn't in Denmark, it was shocking.
ARTY_FOX Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 I was sat right next to them and personally wasn't very impressed with them.

I stand in l1, and would say Copenhagen were by far the better of the European fans for noise, we had down here. Going to our fans, we had our moments, but it was like watching paint dry at times last night, very little to get excited by, and the fans could sense, especially second half, the players were cruising, and it left people with the feeling they were going to throw it away. In fairness, I don't know how they didn't get a draw, a better side would have punished that performance.

Copenhagen was weird, people were in good enough spirits I guess it was just strangely quiet. Even for as average as our atmosphere has been this year. People around me were so wasted they weren't even watching the game, mind, they were just all over the place. One lad was just screaming "marry me" repeatedly at a blond steward while another tried to force one of her colleagues to wear a Leicester scarf. Hell of a long way to go to just get wrecked to the point of not even being able to remember it but it seems like that's what a lot of people were there to do. Not sure that promotes the best atmosphere. Too much of a good thing etc. Copenhagen's home end opposite us was ****ing brilliant mind to be fair.

There's no logic I can apply to our end being so great in Belgium and so abysmal in Denmark.

Unreserved seating, union FS standing at the front where it's harder to get songs going for me unless you're a European capo and have the full away end focused on you? For me they should of been at the back in the middle possibly, they worked well having them all in one corner in Brugges. We were ****ing awful in Kobenhavn, let's hope Porto is better.

Learn from the mistakes. I'm sure next time they'll be further up. I'm not going Porto my self but for the last 16 I hope the group aim for at least the middle if not higher. As you said brugge was fantastic at the back. It got the whole end going.
ramboacdc Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 woooooooouoooah leicester supporters are wankers!

Yeah creating an atmosphere at the back is probably easier. Although being at the front is way more fun.

Guest Lako42 Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 What a shit excuse for the bad away end in Copenhagen. UFS were in the wrong place to tell everyone how to support their football team in the Champions League, so sad if that's what it's come to these days.
MrSpaM Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Honestly not sure where you are getting them being 'quality' from, they barely made a noise after we scored the first goal, probably only 2-3 audible chants after that.
Phube Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Which set of fans were singing the tune to the A-Team?

Brick Top Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 I thought we weren't that great, to be honest. Porto away en especially manu away last year we were much better. Some uncalled for hostile chants, a bit silent after the second goal. Second half was better. A-team song was funny. The ten minutes 'don't take me home' chant in cafe Bruxelles was best of the evening
CosbehFox Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 By the far the best set of the European fans in actually exploring the city and drinking in our pubs. There were Brugge lads still drinking in Soar Point at 7.10pm.
Brick Top Posted 23 November 2016 Posted 23 November 2016 Felt a bit sorry for the chap that had a couple of hundred Bruges fan chanting at him as he passed them by like Moses through the Red Sea. Wrong place, wronge time and definitely wrong colour coat. He'll probably never realise what he did wrong
