Theres only one Real Basic drama.....

 

 

 "Melt down"...because fans havent got the balls,definitely cant take the ups & downs ,

when the Club finds itself   just starting out & making their First serious Challenge to compete for Top 6..und

Maybe some are not yet mentality equipped, to go through the First Stage challenges Need to Grow & develope...

Always on the hunt to blame instead to support & encourage....The squad is growing,there will be changes, & Development &

further improvement.....The proof that we still Need to be more discipined,to understand Oppo teams Dont just Roll over...

und last seasons beaten teams...results have to be re-earnt...

 

And clubs like your own..Foxes, just cant Ride 6-7 Chronic- injuries, and Returnees hit the ground running...

There was been reasons for obvious frustration, even massive disappointment, because of the could ofs and what ifs...

This season...the Melts & meltdowns....Maybe Shows the fans arent quite up to it..!!

2009–10 - Top 6 finish and play off semi final losers - Kermo penalty

2010–11 - Taken over by the Thais. Got rid of Pearson, got in Sousa and then sacked him and got Sven. 

2011–12 - Sacked Sven and Brought Pearson back

2012–13 - Top 6 finish and play off semi final loss with most ridiculous penno miss and Deeney goal

2013–14 - Promoted to premier league as champions

That time the advertising boards blew onto the pitch.

Thinking of advertising boards didn’t Liam Moore  get a telling off for leathering one after his first goal. He taught Vardy everything he knows

There’s only so much we can look at the table and over think how each game is going to play out. I thought it would be fun to create a thread full of all of the crazy drama that has been Leicester over the years.... and there’s been a lot. 
 

Could be an interesting read for the younger fans.  Try to add the most random ones you can remember that haven’t been mentioned yet. 
 

1) After promotion from league 1, Pearson guided us to the championship playoffs. Built on a solid back line featuring a no nonsense centre half Wayne Brown. In the final week before our game Wayne Brown decides it’s the best time to share that he had voted for BNP with a racially mixed squad.
Subsequently Wayne was dropped from the squad and never returned. 
 

Our club had players missing big games long before Perezgate 

 

Edit- if your statement is based on rumour and isn’t confirmed please disclose!! 

 

I think the "Leicester drama" list started well before Pearson arrived but it's probable young supporters won't have heard about Ken Leek who had scored in every round dropped by the then manager Matt Gilles for the 1961 FA Cup Final, unbelievable.

Playing  against Red Star Belgrade I was sitting in the double decker and they let that many smoke bombs off that it looked like the stand was on fire from where I was sitting . And to add insult to injury they scored because the keeper couldn’t  see sod all

One from 1997 that possibly flew under the radar in the UK but I remember as myself and other members of the Irish Supporters Club back then had a prearranged meeting with the squad the previous night. It was an international break weekend and the squad were in Dublin for couple of days training golf etc 

 

 

Wed, Nov 19, 1997, 00:0
 

An English footballer urinated before 300 people last Saturday, Swords District Court has been told. Leicester City midfielder, Neil Lennon (26), of Forest House Lane, Leicester, pleaded guilty to four charges under the Public Order Act, including being drunk, causing a breach of the peace and violent behaviour in Malahide Garda station. He apologised in court and told Judge Sean Delap he was a professional footballer with Leicester City. Judge Delap dismissed three of the charges, but fined him £200 for causing a breach of the peace.
