Mandaric Slams Boo Boys

[Ultra]

Note to Milan!

Shut the **** up!

Loyal fans waste their money on this man who has led us to relegation with his ill tempered attitude towards his managers which he appoints, and now tells the boo boys to put up or piss off when we can't beat the poor sides in this division.

The man is a fool! He should look to himself instead of critisizing those who financially back him in Divison 3, they are his only means of financial support so shut the hell you div.

[Ultra]

I know he's now wallflower, but it must have got to the team for him to release such a statement. Encouraging, so called, fans to stay away is not done lightly,

He'll get his wish tonight as the travelling faithful will always back the team no matter what.

Like at Forest last season?

[Lovejoy]

Sounds like I may sit very close to you! Some of them piss me right off.

I suspect I know who you're on about too. I am about 3 or 4 rows above him, and he seems a bit of a knob tbh.

[Thracian]

Milan Mandaric has slammed the boo boys who have rounded on Leicester City.

I love it when people get "slammed". It's so emotive - like swinging someone around by the ankles and splattering his face to the starlings.

I just hope some of that passion transmits to the team tonight.

You and the other minority are everything that is wrong with the club at the moment.

Disgrace.

This is just another example of the new breed of "modern" football supporter. What, with their moronic bleatings on radio phone-ins, poncy playing up to the cameras on ridiculous shows like Soccer Saturday and their persistance with bobbing along like prats to Chelsea Dagger, surely nobody ought to be surprised they they deem to boo the team they support as well.

Of course Mandaric was right to condemn these pea-brains. What happened to supporters being the twelfth man?

What happened to supporters being the twelfth man?

We've arguably not had a team that has been fully committed to the cause since the turn of the millennium and O'Neill's departure, and that's why fans have lost their love of the club and become increasingly frustrated and disillusioned. I didn't boo during or after either of last weeks games but I can see why people did, not many clubs in the football league have shoved the support of the fans back down their throats will continually lacklustre and inept showings (both on and off the pitch) like LCFC has. I can't recollect a player since Muzzy Izzet that really cared for the club and fought for the cause to a standard where supporters would respect them whatever their ability or whatever the team result ended up being. Sorry to harp on about O'Neill's era, but back then fans were mainly appreciative and the 12th man even if we were losing because the players nearly always put 100% in. I didn't see this last Tuesday or on Saturday and have only seen it once a twice over the last 3/4 years which is pathetic really.

Appreciate that point, dan, but this behaviour is endemic over the whole country. It was only a few weeks ago that West Ham fans were booed Alan Curbishley and his team off the pitch. They won their next match, three days later, and moved into third place in the Premiership.

As for Leicester, the away support at this club is generally acknowledged to be amongst the best in the country. Unfortunately, in life there is wheat and there is chaff.

By who?

It wasn't last season, when, more often than not, our turnout was less than 500.

[Ashley]

I think, against Bristol Rovers on Saturday, those that do want to boo should do so at random intervals, like every 10 minutes, to see what effect it has on the team. Then we'll see if booing really does help.

I'm sure this was mentioned on the 606 Radio phone in, wasnt it not? Bad idea if you ask me.

It was, by Danny Baker.

He was being tongue-in-cheek in response to some brain dead fcukwits (some of whom post on here) who believe that booing at games is the ultimate sin.

If booing means that I end up in hell, then so be it.

Cos I doubt it could be any worse than what I've endured in the last five home games, in which we've won just ONCE.

I'm referring to the noise generated and general support given. You must work as a government statistician, bringing irrelevant numbers into an argument about passion and behaviour, Ultra.

By your criteria Manchester Utd must be the best. Anyway, 500 plus travelling fans for a relegated team as dire as City were last season proves my point about the away lads.

[lcfc81]

I'm with Milan on this one

It is really frustrating to see Leicester play poorly but with lots of youngsters

(Martin, Morrison, Hobbs, Gradel, King X2, Gilbert, Mattock and Adams) the people booing

are running a risk of making it worse for us as a club. Young players need time, support and

their confidence built up.

It seems like a very short sighted way of venting frustration to me.

Perhaps we should all turn up at Council Meetings and boo the inept performances by the Councillors I wonder what the response would be -- I guess we'd be thrown out.

I am sure that Kilworth can answer you himself - but seeing as he isn't here I'd just like to point out that he makes it to every game possible and chants loudly in support of the team from beginning to the end of every single match.

I'm at a total loss to appreciate how the fuck that makes him "everything that is wrong with the club at the moment".

I'd say that stumping up his money allows him an opinion as much as anyone else and the fact that he lobs unconditional support at the club during matches sets him head and shoulders above any "fan" here who chooses to 'boo' or sit there like a pudding.

I am sure that you are hoarse each day after a game from your vocal endeavors.

[Daggers]

Such self-absorbed, mendacious and incompetent fuknuts probably wouldn't even notice, they'd be too busy filling in fraudulent expenses claims and doing favours for their mates.

[Corky]

Yeah, Danny Baker mentioned it. I was only joking, but someone would probably organise it knowing our fans

[Koke]

People pay so they can say whatever they want at games, allegedly. You have a right to voice your opinion.

Milan put money into this club, so he has the right to voice his opinion too. And his opinion is that those who boo the team (despite us being in a healthy position) should shut the hell up.

[Bellend Sebastian]

I sometimes feel that we're arguing about different things in threads like this. Obviously people have every right to boo if they should want to, I don't think anyone's disputing that - it's just whether doing so is the right thing to do and whether it's helpful or not. Mr Mandaric thinks not, and he's entitled to his opinion just as everyone else is.

I'm personally inclined to agree with him, on the grounds that it I don't think it can have any effect on the team other than undermine their confidence - I've yet to see a booed a player doing badly suddenly miraculously start performing, although I've seen a few get even shitter. Others will think differently, I'm sure

[Koke]

Pearson said from day one that this season wasn't gonna be easy. He said we was gonna have bad days and we'd struggle at times. And that's we are sort of doing now. I wouldn't call it a crisis, just a mini-slip.

The folks who are booing are not looking at the bigger picture. We've lost once all season, playing decent football, solid defensively and unlike previous seasons when we go a goal behind, we don't panic. We keep the ball on the floor and keep possession and look for openings. That in itself is a massive improvement on last year. So I don't quite understand the booing when we've had 3 poor performances, but yet managed to get a point. We're not losing games, we're not hoofing the ball, we're not playing players out of position. What is the problem then?

[Rich Fox]

I think the booing has a lot to do with the credit crunch people have massive debts and Leicester had become very over crowded, i was in a good mood until i got up the narborough road on saturday and someone in front wouldnt let me turn right, i was in a bad mood all afternoon after that and would have lynched fryatt if i could have got to him after that miss.

We're Leicester City.... in League One. That's the problem. We all knew that a section of fans would react this way if we didn't win every game (bar maybe Leeds) comfortably. On paper we're among the favourites. We're big boys in this league, and expectations are just sky-high obviously. So I don't believe they're boing at the results nor are they THAT angry at the playing style, they're angry and frustrated at the position we're in because they've not yet come to terms with relegation

I think we're all disappointed that we've only been able to muster 2 points of out of possible 6 at home in winnable fixtures. But for me that's not my main gripe is the tame performances and worryingly we've only deserved a maximum of 2 points. Walsall did the familiar Walkers job of shutting up shop and we only had corners to answer it with, and Northampton simply came here and moved the ball better than us and look the more potent side. Apart from the two glaring chances which were born out of Northampton's defensive sloppiness, we lacked ideas and intuitiveness.

But again, I don't know about you but I expected we'd go through patches where nothing was going right for us.

Leeds were hopeless earlier in the season, but they have turned things around and back on track. It's not the end of the world, we'll come good again. We only in October. I do agree though we've become a bit too predictable, which needs to be addressed by Pearson - But that doesn't justify the booing in my humble opinion.

[Daggers]

Apart from the two glaring chances which were born out of Northampton's defensive sloppiness, we lacked ideas and intuitiveness.

Absolutely.

We need to free players up to do this - and I can't help but feel that playing in front of a potential 20,000 hecklers doesn't create a liberating environment.

We need some positivity.
