Legia fans support

[SemperEadem]

Really was something special we saw out there.

Absolutely incredible buy in from every single one of their fans there.

Shame about the rampant far right white nationalism eh.

Yea, 30,000 white supremacy racists is exactly the kind of fan base we should be wanting to be like……

 

They’re a disgrace to the game, and in my opinion should be banned from competing in Europe.

Well yes obviously. But I think you can separate that and clearly see the vocal passion as hugely impressive.

Life is full of ironies.  

Many of our fans want to see the passion that they have, yet most of their fans yearn to support a Club like ours.

Hilarious that someone simply points out how good an atmosphere was and the first thing people do is bring up their politics as though the two cannot be separated at all.

Hard to defend them when there were clear audible boos when our players took the knee. Regardless of people stance on it, it’s an anti discrimination symbol that the players want to be part of, and it is quite clear why it was boo’d. So yes I will bring politics into it.

Forgot we don't have that here in mighty England.

This thread is weird. So much defensiveness.

Good job none of our fans boo when players take the knee

Small groups of fans. And I can’t ever hear them from where I’m sat. This was a whole scale section of booing, more or less the entire stadium. There’s a stark difference.

You do know how far poland is behind Is Terms of these issues?

Did you go to Wembley for the charity shield? 

[RonnieTodger]

It was unbelievable. Never heard noise like it.

I've always found people who are Football Fan Fans first and Football Fans second a bit weird, to be honest. There's a niche collection of folk in here that definitely fit in to that group. 

 

I mean, end of the day, you do you, its harmless Tbf. We all have our hobbies, I've got some interests that'd bore foxestalk to tears. 

 

It just irks me seeing people fetishise certain supporter groups, particularly whose passion comes deeply rooted in violent extremism. "Oh wow fair play to the Hungarians they sang all game!" yeah they did, and it's a good job you can't understand what they were saying. 

 

If the Taliban had a great a capella covers band where they substituted half the words to sing threats to the West, would we be sitting here vibing going "oh wow these are great, I can't believe you're bringing up their politics!" 

 

Sometimes you shouldn't separate an artist from their work and when you're talking about neo fascist ultra groups I think that's a fair time personally.

This! …. How dare you say their vocal support was immense when they’re all XYZ! 🤣

We know it's hard to separate the two especially when it's so obvious. It's like saying Hitler.... Yeah he was a bad guy but he was a really good listener.

Of course I don't want to see the far-right groups making their way to Leicester games and I'd say it's a pretty fair assumption that the original poster doesn't either. In fact, if I noticed that there was a significant far-right presence at Leicester games it will be the day that I jack it in. That wasn't their point. Their point was that it was impressive that all of the stadium was involved in the atmosphere and that is something that many of us would love to see at Leicester.

Hmmm, an interesting comparison, although a  slight over exaggeration to compare vocal support in a stadium with Hitler!

The whole country is a huge contradiction when it comes to politics. Warsaw felt very much capital city; really young population. I went Warsaw Uprising Museum yesterday afternoon and you’d be lucky if there was anyone in there over the age of 40. Historically a tragic tale and a huge lesson but it’s ignored. 
 

I saw LGBT flags and couples holding hands; some bollocks to do that. 

[Sol thewall Bamba]

Wow within 30 minutes of a thread being opened Hitler and the Taliban had already been mentioned. 

 

Politics aside their support was unbelievable, we'll never see anything like that again. 

[CosbehFox]

Keeping the two separate here; but yeah the noise and display from them was absolutely immense. The tifo was purposely a two sided dig - quite an intelligent way of doing it, if pretty fcuking bleugh at the same time. 
 

They had complete buy in from all three sides of the ground - corporates included! The only criticism I have is that it’s very calculated - english atmosphere used to have a spontaneous notion to them which European clubs find very difficult to replicate. 
 

The Europa League is the greatest competition in the world btw. 
 

Personally I have had a lot confirmed what we all know about the club. There were positives and negatives about the set up pre match / post match. Apparently they didn’t think we’d get away support for Europe. 
 

However there hasn’t been a sincere thanks or even a picture of our travelling support on any of the social media channels. It wasn’t easy to make that game on a months notice with multiple paperwork to fill out. At the actual game, we had Tielemans make a proper beeline for the support before the game and thankfully Kasper/Rodgers after the game. That was it. They are going to grow the distance between the fans and players/club at a time when they need it more than ever. 
 

We have a trip to Moscow in a few weeks where some folk want to travel but we’ve had little or no interest for the club in supporting that. It’s as if they’d rather have an empty away end than 50 to 100 making an amazing effort for them. 
 

Now if the club would allow UFS to do a Walsall to Warsaw tifo with Lloyd, Heskey, Shinji and Hamza in it please

I would love to hear a great Taliban acapella covers band.
