fox_up_north Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 Honestly, on a purely footballing perspective - I want us to put out a strong team. I'd love to see us make the semis or even the final. The way we went out against Villa in the League Cup was just such a sore taste in the mouth. 1

Well the integrity of the whole FA Cup competition is already down the pan after the Villa game and Derby today. With testing not so regular in the EFL there must be a higher risk of players getting the illness. If this is within their first team bubble then there will be an increased risk to our players. I'm really not sure that pro sport should be continuing right now. 1

RonnieTodger Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 (edited) Why is a good league campaign and a good cup run always considered mutually exclusive? If we did win the FA Cup this year, I’d be gutted that we can’t be there, but I’ll be ****ing livid at 5pm if we’ve lost to Stoke Edited 9 January 2021 by RonnieTodger 2
A View From Le2 Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 Good Morning all! I've set up a new blog to talk about Leicester City and Leicester Tigers, and I've written about Leicester and The FA Cup. In short i think we should go for it! I've put the link to the piece below. All feedback is appreciated! It's a new thing for me to do, so it is all a learning curve. There's a Twitter Page as well called @FromLe2 if you wanted to follow that. Let's hope for a Leicester win this afternoon! https://aviewfromle2.wixsite.com/website/post/leicester-city-and-the-fa-cup-go-for-it-or-not
theadmans Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 How does this BBC Red Button malarkey work? I have Virgin TV and if I view BBC One and press the red button I get a menu with choices like iPlayer, Sport etc... ...but I can't see any reference to our game? Will it only appear shortly before 3pm? If I search the iPlayer for our game I only get an edition of Countryfile about Stoke-on-Trent!

theadmans Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 Ah OK Virgin 991 that makes thing simpler... ...I am not worried about HD - I still have a Panasonic CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) TV with only Scart sockets!

Ian Nacho Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 Is this on iplayer or red button? Other thread saying red button has been discontinued.

Beachyboy Posted 9 January 2021 Posted 9 January 2021 3 pm Saturday kick off how unique, surely the FA cup is the only competition we have a realistic chance of winning? let's have it.

At least with a big old fat casing - there is room for some decent sized speakers inside the 20 year old Panasonic telly... ...all you youngsters that have flatscreen TVs - seem to need to pay an extra £200 for a soundbar (so that you can actually hear what mumbling actors say). I don't even have a smartphone - my Nokia stays charged for about a month. Progress is overrated IMHO... ...maybe one day I'll get one of those new fangled Spinning Jennys!

Not true, my last TV needed a soundbar as it would distort at any audible volume, but I bought a Samsung 4K about 4 years ago and the speakers in it are far better quality than the soundbar I bought. It does an amazing job of panning the stereo too, I've never felt the need to buy a sound system for it

The Panasonic TV speakers are good enough for speech but when it comes to the Proms on BBC4... I run an Optical lead from my Virgin Box to a Creek 50CD DAC (using twin Wolfson 8742 DACs in dual differential mode)... ...the converted analogue single then passes through a highly modified Musical Fidelity valve stage using valves from Russian Mig fighter planes. Then the signal is amplified by my Creek 50A Integrated amp and finally reaches my studio grade monitor speakers (used in nearfield mode). BTW I am typing this on a 10 year HP Desktop PC running Windows 7 (was there anything wrong with XP?) ...I still make a living from MS-Dos computer software ( that I wrote in the 80s). 1 1
