Fez of Mahrez Posted 11 July 2007 Posted 11 July 2007 i like friendlies as a little taster before the season, see the new kits and players. they get boring after a few, but it's good getting your hopes up after smashing Kettering 4-1, or thinking 'we were just getting some fitness work in' after a 3-1 defeat at Accrington. nothing beats the excitement of the 1st weekend of the season but i can't recall winning one of them for a good while now - 2003?? August 2002 v Watford, first game at the Walkers, Deane with 2 headers. Stadium wobbling and all that.
Sods Posted 11 July 2007 Posted 11 July 2007 August 2002 v Watford, first game at the Walkers, Deane with 2 headers. Stadium wobbling and all that. we thought we had the greatest stadium/atmosphere we could ever have. I do love 1st games though. every time i say 'yeah i reckon we will do well this year' we will beat sheff utd/luton etc and get off to a good start. By the end of the game the realisation sets in

AyewJoking Posted 11 July 2007 Posted 11 July 2007 How long do players get time off? About a month if they have no international commitments. How can they be so fit (or not in our case) then after a month off they are out of shape?

Guest Posted 11 July 2007 Posted 11 July 2007 I imagine they still carry on jogging and such? Depends on whether or not it's last orders.
Guest Posted 11 July 2007 Posted 11 July 2007 I quite like friendlies - remember Matt Elliott taking ablow to the head against Athletico Bilboa and going tfor the guy big style?? only prob is i went three mins from the end and missed our goal;(
demon_dog Posted 11 July 2007 Posted 11 July 2007 Since when could you call friendlies football? I hate them. Players generally are to scared to go in and have a go as they don't want to pick up an injury. The only use they have is for the manager to get an idea of who is the more likely to fit in best for the first team. What the best tactics could be used with the squad he has. Give me a full bloodied game anyday, much more interesting, then we will see which players really do give their all. As for getting the players talking to each other, I think they all ought to learn Iranian! This would confuse the opposition.
Pete_foxes Posted 12 July 2007 Posted 12 July 2007 Yeah I hate them, but the pre-season games have to be done really. I just would not bother going to any since the Inter Milan one a few seasons back boring or what!
lcfcsam1 Posted 13 July 2007 Posted 13 July 2007 friendleys are normally good because of the nice weather, but well what can i say for this summer
Leonisco Posted 13 July 2007 Posted 13 July 2007 Are we going to bother having match threads for the friendly games?
Fez of Mahrez Posted 13 July 2007 Posted 13 July 2007 I'm not sure I can cope with the hysteria on here if we lose to Quorn or someone.
Daggers Posted 13 July 2007 Posted 13 July 2007 I'm not sure I can cope with the hysteria on here if we lose to Quorn or someone. I think the rampant madness that will ensue a win may be equally as bad. Even a draw fills me with dread.
Stevosevic Posted 13 July 2007 Posted 13 July 2007 I can see it now, Quorn 0 - 3 Leicester and Oadby 1 - 2 Leicester. Some people on this forum will start stating promotion is guaranteed, getting way too excited about Porter's and Dodds performances.
lildave3 Posted 13 July 2007 Posted 13 July 2007 22 hrs 15 mins The countdown has begun I'm actually scared of you.
Wezleylowski Posted 13 July 2007 Posted 13 July 2007 I'm actually scared of you. How can you be scared of Ghandi Hunt? He is sweet as a nut
lildave3 Posted 13 July 2007 Posted 13 July 2007 How can you be scared of Ghandi Hunt? He is sweet as a nut His excitement towards this game is deeply terrifying.
Wezleylowski Posted 13 July 2007 Posted 13 July 2007 His excitement towards this game is deeply terrifying. There is only one thing more exciting to me than leicester playing. Thats the LNER opening one of there yards to the public for a photoshoot Now thats exciting
