I blame Wellens Posted 6 March 2023 Posted 6 March 2023 After When you’re smiling We want Rodgers Out, say we want Rodgers Out!!! Keep it simple. Make it loud because you are proud of our club and have a passion for it . Unlike the numpty in charge.

fuchsntf Posted 6 March 2023 Posted 6 March 2023 I don’t think banners,or in game protest bring much… different mindsets…Players do need that support & encouragement, lack of it will have future consequences… Show the team full support even when it’s hard,and poor performances but show board/owners we are the least of the problems…Have those quiet periods… But if protests,then if it warrants it,boo the last 5 game minutes,but not during the middle of the game..Its basically saying we supported you upto the games last minutes,now you haven’t produced…we are letting you know..!! We gave you our all, but you are falling short…now boos & jeers.. I am 100% against booing individuals or team,during the full flow of the game.. It help only the individuals fans frustration,and counter productive for the playerr(s) Me I prefer nothing. Teams don’t play badly on purpose,it’s just there is no chemistry,,the manager has to create that,using players best skill mental,and technically..Why Rodgers has lost it,I don’t care,he falling short basta…!! He should be gone,but there maybe many mitigating circumstances off-field. & the fans are always blind & clueless,though they try their damnest to understand,but will often let fly by story building on presumption.. 1

Yeah we should start chanting “you do know what you’re doing!” See how it goes, nothing to lose. 2

I think most refs are aware football is an emotional game and fans will react as such regardless, as above their probably also pretty confident the majority don’t actually understand the laws of the game so take it with a large pinch of salt. I’m sure players probably understand the emotional side to it also. They’ve had an easy ride for the majority of their time here, about time to see if they can handle the heat.

In any case, the board should do more. The fans shouldn't have to make it toxic. .. back in the day, turning the stadium toxic was spontaneous, and it came from the heart!!! Having to mobilise a protest from within a camp of repressed and sceptical stadium goers, smacks of a desperate fan base. 3

Smacks of a right load of old bollox and any protest will be spontaneous anyway.

Silebyfox_89 Posted 7 March 2023 Posted 7 March 2023 Vote with you're feet, don't go and watch what's being offered at present. The more empty seats the better in terms of making a visual and monetary impact to the board. That might just get Top thinking... 1
Fox92 Posted 7 March 2023 Posted 7 March 2023 (edited) 15 hours ago, Ian S said: It’s what the protesting is about, the more that voice their displeasure at the manager the better chance we have of retaining our PL status which is critical for our long term. You have a lot to say about what shouldn’t be done but very little about what should. Not true though is it. Who knows what would happen if the manager stays or goes. Also I haven't said anything about the cons or pros of protesting. Do what you like. The issue with me is that I'm told if we protest, the manager will be sacked and we'll stay up. I have pointed out examples at other clubs where this hasn't worked, that's all. You seem to have this idea that protesting leads to positivity and there is no evidence it will. The other issue is that nothing will happen, people give it the big one on here but won't do anything Saturday. All I've seen so far is banners at games, wow. edit: I must also say that I am generally a person who supports protests (and strikes). You can see my posts in the general threads about this sort of this. So you've got me wrong in terms of having "a lot to say about what shouldn't be done". I just can't get into protest ideas that will never happen. Edited 7 March 2023 by Fox92 1
Bptiger Posted 7 March 2023 Posted 7 March 2023 Really the only protest that would get TOPS attention would be a empty stadium, it’s harsh but it would be the strongest message would get maximum coverage from the media 1

The more empty seats the better in terms of making a visual and monetary impact to the board. That might just get Top thinking... I have a (pretty vocal) 11 year old who is a LCFC nut who adores everything about football. We both stood and booed loudly at the Palace game (the one where Top shook his head). Not going isn't an option, as i don't want to miss this precious time we have together, regardless how sh1te the football is. Before i know it, he will be 15 and probably won't want to come out of his room, or my wife will divorce me and i will only see him the weekends when we have away games that we cant get to. I would sooner go to this and show full support and try and get a result. I would rather, all things considered, we stayed up and won games. If we perform badly I prefer a huge boo and Rodgers out chant. Its the last bit in know many won't do. When we joined in the 'Rodgers out' chant many around us looked a dismayed. However, it did get covered on 606. The media have eye on Rodgers right now and its not all roses for him. His credentials as a top coach are being questioned. A defeat and a very disgruntled ground at the end of the game will get media coverage. Edited 7 March 2023 by Chelmofox

Even if 10,000 don’t turn up, which is highly unlikely, it’s not that noticeable when they are scattered about. Also that is a message of apathy, rather than protest. It’s the same for leaving early. Go to the match, stay until the end and make your feelings heard. 3
SemperEadem Posted 7 March 2023 Posted 7 March 2023 If Top aint there then a half empty stadium walk out is not that hitting as he will just be fed the attendance number.
Scanchez Posted 7 March 2023 Posted 7 March 2023 I say we all get naked. That'll get the message across. 2 1
