What was the atmosphere like in the away end? I switched off when he brought on Ayew and Choudhury so don't know if there was any good old fashioned booing or not. 

It was shocking. Hardly any noise. Mind you, their home fans were pathetic as well. The atmosphere of the whole ground was one of the worse I've been too.

 

Some in our end did boo when the subs were made, and also chanted "you don't know what you're doing".

 

The game was shocking though, they were terrible but we were worse, any half decent team would have beaten them.

One of the very few but one of the loudest 2nd half chants where we were was 'This Is Embarrassing" and it truly was!

FFS, these people (I won’t use the term @Dahnsouff) are out of control. 
 

People who care about what is happening are expressing there right to free speech and getting attacked for it. Absolutely unacceptable and yet they won’t get kicked out or banned. 
 

What did you get banned for again @Dan?

I got banned for being near a smoke bomb that was set off, me and a few others got the blame for it. Appealed it, even watched the CCTV back. You can't see me actually do anything although you wouldn't be able to because I didn't.

 

In truth it's worked out perfectly because you couldn't pay me to go to our ground at the minute anyway. Things were bad when I was first banned but they've gotten a whole lot worse since. I do remember after the Plymouth loss in 2024 I was that seething that I did nearly bin the West Brom game the following week off. I didn't, but I was getting there.

 

This whole ban has just accelerated my hatred of those involved. Had something I'd been doing a good 15 years taken from me for literally no reason, but things have been so bleak anyway that I don't really get a jot of FOMO. I'm pretty frequently in and around town on matchdays anyway and have been to a couple of games in the home end this season (including yesterday) - occasionally as I'm intrigued to see quite how bad things actually are. In truth though after yesterday I doubt I'll even bother with that again, bar Wrexham because I've never been there.

 

Sheffield United fans around me were commenting how terrible we were, calling us the worst side to go there this season - and that was at 0-0.

 

When I get unbanned, well, if I get unbanned, and it's if because you have to sign this ridiculous 'behaviour agreement' which one of the terms stipulates you can't be negative about the club on social media, which I'll do as I please frankly, I won't be getting a season ticket until this owner has gone. That's a guarantee, nobody believes me because of the number of games I went to pre-ban but things change. I see everyone get back from the home games and put it this way I'm not even slightly envious, I'd far rather sit in the pub. I'll probably do away games, I still travel to some anyway as there's nothing stopping me - only thing I'm banned from is Leicester's ground and being in Leicester ends. The general vibe of people I went with yesterday are that they can barely be arsed to do many more this season anyway, and who can blame them, it's almost as terrible value for money as our playing squad.

Hear me out here. But I suddenly just realised…… I think maybe we’re not very good?

Right from the start it was off. 
 

There was very little singing, arguing because someone was too tall and blocked their view and Jordan James being slated. Yep, I had a great time

Sack the board and sacked in the morning came across loud on Sky too.

Was 'sacked in the morning' from us or Sheff Utd fans?

****ing hell. "you have to legally respect us in public" is pathetic. Although, at the rate that they're going, how long before that's a requirement in the season ticket terms and conditions?

I think it sort of is in a round about way. I’m sure there’s a bit in the t&c’s where it says not to ‘bring the club into disrepute’, which I assume is social media based. Obviously it’s fine for them to bring the club into disrepute by ****ing us over 🙄

[Blueman1967]

it was a shambles yesterday, serious worry with points deduction come as well

[Sínnann]

There comes a point where you think following LCFC can’t get any worse, only for them to come out and prove you wrong.

[MrSpaM]

There is no way on earth we should be finishing this season in a lower position than QPR finished last season, this manager just isn't very good

True story. Look at point E.

 

 

I don't think I can sign that so I'm probably banned for the foreseeable.

[blueharmie]

Is it  an instant ban for taking in and setting off a smoke bomb?

 

Asking for several thousand friends.

half of those are deliberately very vague. No foul or abusive language? are we talking literally insulting someone, or is "oh for ****s sake" (a common refrain whenever we go behind) gonna do it? behaving in a manner likely to cause annoyance or offence could literally just capture standing (I've seen people in the safe standing sections this season sit down and complain the row in front are stood up), and offensive or malicious comments at the board, players etc could easily be used to ban criticism. 

 

That's just setting you up for breaches if you attend a game so they can then throw the book at you again.

Point A is a laugh. Call your mates something when you're having a chat in the concourse and you are out on your ear. 

 

How coukd they enforce that?

However they want. I know for sure my ban is nothing to do with what happened at Palace.

Jeez , finally dragged myself to YouTube to watch the highlights ...............'kin hell, wish i hadn't.

Miserable.

 

Jakub getting peppered and confidence is shot to pieces. 

There are 2 Luke Thomas' - the one that looks like an average Championship defender and one that looks like he is 5 seconds behind the rest of the game. Today he was horrific.

Okoli is the worst passer of the ball i have seen. The other CB has to protect him from his mistakes

Nelson needs protecting from this sh1t.

Riccy P is woeful - its like watching an old Riccy P tribute band. Useless Captain and has no legs.

Skipp - we've grown to accept him because he's not been complete garbage lately. But when the going gets tough, he is nowhere to be seen.

JJ - Poor game, and looked really pissed off

Bobby - Can't be playing this much football and the fixture list caught up with him. Again, when it gets tough he doesnt show up.

Fatawu is garbage, and now concerned we have massively overrated him. Scoring the worldies is actually the worst thing that could have happened to him. Needs to get the basics right.

Mavididi - runs around a lot, but is delivering nothing.

Silko - seems like he was asked to just run around a lot. Kids got legs for sure, but presumably the 'run around on your own' role takes a bit of experience.

 

God knows how this lot prepare for games. There are some decent prospects in there that need protecting from this junk. 

Perfect report

it's point E I find the most sinister. Don't say anything nasty. Perhaps we shouldn't sing 'you're shit aaaaahhhhh' at the opposition goalie in case it damages his mental health.  It's Trumpian in its over-reach, and suggests leadership are woefully over-sensitive. I'd love to be a fly on the wall in side management meetings at LCFC. I suspect it would give me abundant material for an award winning comedy series

Rudkin does seem like the sort of bloke who'd be best off running a paper company in Slough TBF

That‘s pretty much (a declaration of) censorship.

I f***ing hate what flop has done to my club 

[ElusiveEd]

Seems a Blades fan died at our game. Or to be exact, after taking Ill at our game.

 

RIP Fella. ...
