foxinsocks Posted 14 February 2017 Posted 14 February 2017 We are all disappointed and frustrated when we lose. Yet i dont think it is a lack of caring by the players. Dtinky looked shattered on sunday... yet unable to identify what was wrong. Against thus we have the match thread accusinh players if being useless or sh1theads etc etc. Lets accept that we all want it sorting... owners players fans. Comment and arguments are part of football. ... i dont want to end up being unable to suggest what wrong and how it could be fixed. Yet i agee that we can do without vitriol aimed at manager and players

HighPeakFox Posted 14 February 2017 Posted 14 February 2017 Well said. Good luck though when those that have none get involved...
Vestan Pance Posted 14 February 2017 Posted 14 February 2017 I think constructive criticism and discussion is fair, but some of the name calling and speculation directed at certain people (often someone with the surname Vardy) is uncalled for and embarrassing.
oadby.fox Posted 14 February 2017 Posted 14 February 2017 I couldn't agree more. I've been a lurker on this forum for a while now and I was amazed at the sheer amount of hoodoo. Of course, those most discontented will often shout the loudest but despite our poor premier league form this season, I believe the team and club are still deserving of our support. We have been dreadful in some games, the players don't look convincing, the tactics are non-existent and many of the new transfers have been nowhere near good enough. Having said that, a big part of winning games is the culture surrounding the club. Rewind to two seasons ago and we were in a far worse position with an arguably much weaker squad. Okay sure, the expectation then was lower for the team but I never stopped believing in a revival and I think a lot of fans shared that sentiment. As a club we need to get back that unity and propel the team forwards. Whenever the lads walk out onto the pitch you can see the fear in the eyes, they are writing their own nightmare headlines, in contrast to last season where they were the makers of their own dream reality. If anything should be learnt from the past three seasons in English football, it should be just how much confidence and mentality can effect the outcomes of entire seasons. I know we need to criticise the team but we should be constructive, people asking for Ranieri to go are delusional - there is not one manager who I could think of to come in and better the situation currently. His record in the Champions League and FA Cup has also been pretty good, and despite our poor league form I believe we can progress past both Sevilla and Millwall. When you look at the marking and shape of the team vs Swansea, it was all over the place but surely anyone with common sense would realise that the players are not being coached to do that. The only thing I blame Ranieri for is perhaps not coming up with an overall game plan for this season and use of ineffective tactics. Swansea should have been the game where we mixed the team up - this perhaps - was his biggest error in my opinion. Instead it will be Millwall on Saturday which will be an ineffective judgement of the team's form going into the game at Seville. We had a chance to test who should be starting against premier league opposition and instead it looks like he may be now willing to mix it up for the Champions League game based on the players who had a good game against a reserve Derby side and league 1 Millwall.
Guest MattP Posted 14 February 2017 Posted 14 February 2017 Absolutely, great post, we need to remember whatever happens the current management gave us a season beyond our wildest dreams, one I'd have taken relegation to the conference just to experience for a year. I greatly sympathise with our owners here, as far as credit goes, he has more in the bank than any manager has in history, I'd probably call him in to sack him, see his face, remember Bocelli snging and then extend his contract. I'm praying he can get us out of it, such a story deserves a dignified end.

foxy boxing Posted 14 February 2017 Posted 14 February 2017 we all have different ideas and opinions and it is about respecting those ideas and listening to those opinions and being able to debate with each other in a respectful but honest way that enlightens people and helps people get their message across while also having some fun and gentle ribbing of people you know are big enough to take it!

I didn't have tickets for the last home game of the season but that day was probably one of the best days of my life. The atmosphere leading up to that point and after it within the city was amazing. The feeling of the unity of joy was overwhelming and unique - perhaps never to be experienced in such a fashion anywhere in the world ever again!

Claudio is a special man , he behaves with dignity and has been so respectful. The owners are special people they have behaved with dignity and respect Isnt it time we the the fans and all who love LCFC behave in the same way .... with dignity and respect Sincere, impassioned plea deserving respect in itself but some of us are being entirely positive in believing the current situation can't continue if we're to have any chance of avoiding the serious implications and realities of relegation. Claudio - and our team - made a mark that will be written in our history books and both were praised as loudly by me as any others. But that's past. It was "special" but it doesn't make Ranieri any more special as a man, than the bloke who tends gardens free of charge for his elderly neighbours. In fact he's not seemed very "special" at all this season, in lots of ways. Any more than some of the players we once bathed in adulation. History is littered with fallen heroes whose misjudgements only emphasise the apparent need of people to have such heroes but also the fragile, often misguided, nature of such emotions. I suppose the feelgood factor of hero worship is akin to emotional orgasm for some - and there's nothing better than a reason to celebrate. But such times so often cloud reality - and why not so long as we don't take them too seriously. Because, sadly, even the most joyous celebrations look a lot different the morning after..
norwichfox Posted 14 February 2017 Posted 14 February 2017 An OP from the heart, but like it or not this is the only social media that I use (I don't do facebook twitter or any other "group things" where people are almost begging to "be loved"). I no longer live in Leicester which makes it difficult to hold a 2 way discussion with anyone - as until the great escape outsiders hadn't really taken an interest in lil' 'ole Leicester, even when I'm virtually screaming at the TV my wife will calmly say, "Oh dear, aren't they playing well". Foxes Talk is the only place where I can vent my pleasure, dislikes, frustrations, and at time indifference toward the club I've supported for 60 years (it may even be as low as 59 years as I'm not 100% certain as to how old I was when taken to my first game). I'm not going to be totally respectful to players who, quite honestly, are taking the p155 this season, or to a manger who does the same thing over and over again expecting different results and decides to change things with only 1/3 of the season left, or to a Director of football that has clearly fcuked up at every level of the club other than marketing (even that is questionable given the stories I read regarding the fan's shop at King Power). Generally I post my point, respond to what I consider a post worth responding to, maybe try to add a touch of humour to lighten a situation if appropriate, I try to avoid getting into arguments. Supporting a football club is hugely about passion and if some of that passion flows over into what may be considered disrespectful (it will have been earned) then so be it.

Mike Oxlong Posted 14 February 2017 Posted 14 February 2017 Admirable sentiment from the OP but I believe that lot of people feel that the performances from some of the players demonstrates a lack of respect to the owners, to the manager, to their team mates who remain committed and to the fans. They have benefitted handsomely from improved contracts on an expectation of continuing commitment and application. In too many cases we are not getting that and are being mugged off in the process.

Things are not good on the pitch and I have many concerns and have handed some harsh (football related) criticism on this board as of late, but the line needs to be drawn at that as these players did deliver something we and probably very few fans of similar size clubs will ever see again and that can never be forgotten. Say they are not playing well, call out their poor performances, say they should be dropped, don't be happy I understand that, I'm not happy. But when it gets to the stage where fans are hurling personal abuse at the players who delivered a miracle I am sorry, your not fit to follow the club. I've seen the players called "pricks" "Tw@ts" "JuanCars" how spoilt and ungrateful do you have to be go after a player who has won your club the PL with such venom? Ridiculous. Ironically it's the same sort of people who chucked out their toys the minute Ngolo did one demanding loyalty If this how viciously you are willing to turn on the players when the chips are down you don't deserve loyalty, in fact you deserve very little.
Guest Col city fan Posted 14 February 2017 Posted 14 February 2017 I get what GaelicFox is saying but respect surely goes both ways. I'd actually like to see both the players and the Manager give some respect back to the fans. The players by at least giving it their all. Trying. The manager by stopping coming out with the childish rubbish that is spouted at post match interviews. Does he think we can't see what is happening? I'd respect him a lot more now if he actually treated us like adults. Let's see how many likes that post gets..
VLC86 Posted 14 February 2017 Posted 14 February 2017 Not even biting on the OP asking for dignity and respect.
Wymsey Posted 14 February 2017 Posted 14 February 2017 Are you the Pope?.. Seriously a great opening, and provides some positivity on this part of the forum (negativity has been big in recent times on here).
