syston_fox Posted 7 April 2008 Posted 7 April 2008 I spotted my shoes! Ched looks up to no good in the picture!
Kilworthfox Posted 7 April 2008 Posted 7 April 2008 Anyone seen the shoes off picture?Spot the FT'ers No it's not big enough on the net. Can any geeks enlarge it and paste on here?
James. Posted 7 April 2008 Posted 7 April 2008 I fully expect to be able to see my towering red right arm holding aloft one of my trainers. Someone sort out a photo!
Koke Posted 7 April 2008 Posted 7 April 2008 What do you do when your team are 3-0 down after just 20 minutes and reduced to 10 men away from home? The answer was served up by the travelling Blue Army at Sheffield United on Saturday, who set about making the most of a bad situation. And, in doing so, some of the 1,800 or so City fans who made the trip to Bramall Lane may just have started a new cult anthem for the club's relegation battle. "Shoes off, if you love Leicester," was the bizarre take on the classic terrace song. And scores of hardy City fans answered the call by removing their footwear to wave above their heads, undaunted by the wet and cold concrete under their feet. It made for a surreal sight. Hundreds of shoes being slapped together in unison, particularly given the situation their team found themselves in on the pitch. The City fans even managed to get manager Ian Holloway to acknowledge their song when he responded to their €˜Ollie, get your shoes off' chant by waving a pair of size sixes from his dug-out. Holloway said afterwards: "I didn't feel like being jovial but wanted to repay their loyalty. "It's a bit surreal - people are singing when you are losing. "Talk about loyal support. They have to get behind us for the last few games as they have done today." It had all started with so much anticipation for what was City's second largest away following of the Championship season. ˜We are staying up' blasted out from the away end as the game kicked off in a hailstorm that soaked the hardy fans in the front few rows. The arrival of the sun minutes later was greeted with an apt rendition of ˜When You're Smiling'. But the mood all changed following the controversial penalty and dismissal of Patrick Kisnorbo after just 10 minutes. Blades striker Billy Sharp's tumble in the box happened right in front of the away fans - and the consensus was that it was not a foul. Referee Mike Pike became the focus of the City fans' ire. It got worse as former England international James Beattie converted the spot-kick at the second attempt before going on to complete an eight-minute hat-trick. The game was effectively over as a contest, but that did not stop the Blue Army from adopting a gallows humour and enjoying themselves. The chants ranged from the optimistic ˜We're gonna win 4-3' to the surreal €˜Can we play you every week?' via the humorous, as they attempted to get every individual in the City side to ˜give us a wave'. It certainly did not feel as though City were staring down the barrel as the supporters went through their repertoire. And as the whistle blew on a bitterly disappointing result the enthusiasm and optimism remained undimmed. ˜We are staying up,' could be heard echoing in the streets outside as a few hardy souls walked away in soggy socks waving their shoes above their heads.

Koke Posted 7 April 2008 Posted 7 April 2008 Yup - you have both shoes proudly displayed Can even see Karim Benzema .... although his shoes arent on show! I already had a bad cold and was freezing my balls off.
Thracian Posted 7 April 2008 Posted 7 April 2008 Can't believe a 3-0 defeat could turn out such a special day. Even "One Foot in the Grave" might have sounded funny with the shoes. I'll quickly forget the football but will never forget the fans.

Crap reporting! No mention of the Gillespie chant
