Thanks pal. 

 

That's the one. 

 

 

 

I’ve been going since I was a little kid in the late 70’s and I wondered who it was too. Cheers!

Cringe of the highest order. Especially when you add that melty video of Maddison and Chilwell talking to each other before it.

 

 

B I N.

Think your being a bit harsh.

 

I quite enjoy being a grumpy dad, all the loud deafening music, coming out and shaking hands before the start drives me bonkers. Just come out like two opposing teams of warriors and get it on. You can shake hands, kiss or chat to your mate at the end...but even i quite like the montage. Just need to make sure the post horn gallop follows immediately. The two combined and I'm ready!!!

Montage is very well put together. Does baffle me a little bit why they put that Maddison goal against Watford in just before the clip of Wes lifting the trophy however, given the previous 10 or so clips are goals from the great escape season, then from the title winning season. Seems out of context every time i see it.

The best bit before the game is the big boom after the heartbeat when the foxes eyes appear

It’s joe Walters against QPR in the fa cup quarter finals.

Splitting hairs I know but for the sake of accuracy it was Joe Waters. Was in that surge behind the goal for what it's worth.

Yeah apparently he only played a handful of games for the club, didn't quite make the cut and was sold to Grimsby.

I'll bite. 

 

What are QPR doing playing in red shirts at home?

Because back then Leicester only had two kits, blue or white. So either way QPR's home blue and white hoops would have clashed.

That's an interesting question. I consider myself a bit of a statto and I'm old enough to remember this game but I don't know why QPR played in red as the home team.

 

My guess would be that we probably only had our white away kit with us and it was too close to a colour clash with the blue and white hoops of QPR.

The greatest show montague works really nicely, but as others have said the light show is over the top.

 

I was thinking for night games could we just switch the lights off just before the boom with the players out on the pitch and then switch them back on, so the boom plays in darkness.

I've got a bit tired of the fox video montage. It needs an update and been played to death.

 

Love the heartbeat/thunderclap photo montage though. Stirring stuff. Couple of iconic photos haven't made the cut.

 

1 . Marsh wheeling away at Atletico. Hitherto his era, my fave ever single.moment

 

2. The Banks Shilts diving photo. 

 

I'd also like to have seen a picture of the 1980 players stripped at Orient. Not for gay reasons. But the mixture of joy and uncool menace of 1980s City fans celebrating

I did wonder if that could be it, and think it must be, but I don't remember ever seeing it happen. And I've been to alot of games pre 3rd kits!

Actually, no...

 

That would be last Saturday, relaying pre-match highlights with commentary of the nine goals scored at St.Mary's in October. 

 

Opting for pink away strip is pretty shite too.

We play highlights of previous matches against every single side.

Yeah, clubs were a lot more amateurish with kit and equipment. I can recall a game between Spurs and Coventry City in (checks up online) December 1986 when Coventry turned up in an all pale blue shirt which the ref determined clashed with Tottenham's white kit. Spurs didn't have their away kit to hand so had to wear Coventry's yellow away kit at home!

See, that’s a great story but it just wouldn’t happen these days. 
I kinda miss the amateurish innocence of the game sometimes.

Ah yes, the halcyon days of Saint and Greavsie, Grandstand, League Ladders in Shoot! and one live game a week on TV (if you were lucky), Elton Welsby, pitches which looked like a farmers field, The Dell, Roker Park and Ayesome Park Panini Stickers, "proper" floodlight pylons which were your navigation aid to finding your way to any football ground, Midweek Sports Special and Sportsnight, covering your exercise books with the team pull outs from Match!

???? We do, selectively - but I think you miss my point. 

 

We don't screen highlights of a particular nine goal thrashing complete with commentary every home game. Crass, tasteless, ill advised and ultimately, an own goal.

 

If you think that was appropriate or dignified last Saturday and the sort of direction that you would like to see our club heading, then I would strongly disagree.

Pointless and seeing as we lost it made us look like idiots

Since that video aired madders and chillers have been fcuking shite

Finally!

If anyone is still interested, the video was posted on LCFC’s official Facebook page on Thursday. A great watch IMO. 
 

Edit: Chap above, beat me to it.
