Matt Posted 26 February 2005 Posted 26 February 2005 Craig Levein has slammed "a few mindless people" for barracking one of his Leicester City players. Jordan Stewart came in for some stick from a minority of travelling fans during the 3-2 defeat at Stoke on Tuesday. But the City boss is delighted that a backlash from the majority of Blue Army fans silenced the critics, one of whom was ejected from the Britannia Stadium. Levein was surprised by the terrace criticism of left-back Stewart as it came only a few days after the City supporters had backed the side to the hilt in the super FA Cup victory at Charlton. But he was delighted that sense ultimately prevailed. Levein said: "A very small element of our supporters turned on one of our players. "The pleasing thing for me was that the majority of our fans recognised that it was the wrong thing to do. "Our away support has been magnificent in recent games and I am sure they would not want to see their loyalty put into question by a few mindless people. "I don't know if it was alcohol-induced or whatever, but it was the wrong thing to do - and I am pleased with the reaction of the many others who quickly squashed it." Meanwhile, Levein has been at the centre of more transfer speculation with his interest in Celtic goalkeeper Rab Douglas being elevated to the level of a summer signing. But Levein played it low key, saying: "I talked with his agent over the situation but I have also talked to another four or five other agents of various players. "That doesn't mean that (the signing of Douglas) is what we are going to do. "It is one option. At some stage, I will have to talk to Ian Walker about a new contract and if he says no then I will have to have a contingency plan. That is what management is all about." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The thing that annoys me about Stewart is his inconsistancy, one game he can be the best player on the pitch then the next game he isn't good enough for a sunday league team! Every player has bad games but to me it seems as if literally he has one brilliiant game and one shit game!

If he lived up to his own hype he wouldn't have a problem.
davieG Posted 26 February 2005 Posted 26 February 2005 Well he was on Soccer AM's Showboating this morning.
Matt Posted 26 February 2005 Author Posted 26 February 2005 Agree with Levein, it's some mindless boneheads that criticise him all the time. could it be because he's black? 71551[/snapback] I'm all against racism but I really annoys me when people start playing the "Is it because i'm black" card. As I said i'm against racism but white people can be victims of racism too, yet you only seem to link racism with black people. It has nothing to do with race, its because as someone else said he seems abit arrogant and like I said originally he has one good game then the next game he is shite....
