bren Posted 21 April 2005 Author Posted 21 April 2005 I booed him and CL for bringing him on . With a couple of minutes to go who's going to come on and score ? not MDV. 96525[/snapback] and Moore or Connolly were? They needed someone with height up there and as there were no centre backs to bring on to let Dublin go up front, i dont think Levein had much of a choice?
jase67 Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 I thought we had worked out on Saturday that he cant win anything in the air.
bren Posted 21 April 2005 Author Posted 21 April 2005 I thought we had worked out on Saturday that he cant win anything in the air. 96532[/snapback] Yes but when he came on he won headers everytime the ball went up to him. Anyway thats not the point - for them last couple of minutes De Vries would be a more dangerous presense (in the air or not) than Connolly or Moore, that is why he was brought on.
jase67 Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 Each to there own. A totally clueless, useless player in my book.
Frenzied Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 It's a disgrace. Those people that boo our own players aren't real fans. It's those kind of people that have held Leicester City back over the years. They're a bunch of inbred ****wits. So please, frig off, you're not welcome. 95766[/snapback] Bit harsh isn't it. I booed him, I have every right to. Not only is he an untalented player he is lazy and useless. I booed him because he doesn't try and I don't like that, and I booed the managers poor decision to bring him on. Sorry but didn't realise that means I'm not a real fan despite the fact I spend every penny I have on the club and go to 99% of home and away games 96028[/snapback] The comment may sound harsh but if you have spent 25 years supporting a team and throughout that period certain sections of your own fans have hindered the progress of the club, I think it's fair enough to be angry. It was only a few seasons ago that Leicester fans wanted O'Neill's head after just a few games in charge - what would have happened if they'd got their wish? Patience is needed with De Vries; he has what seems to be a good deal of potential. You just have to see the quality of his ball control to understand that. Booing him will only destroy his confidence and how on earth would that be good for Leicester City? It's time some of our fans took responsibility for their actions and understood that the constant level of often unwarranted negativity has cost Leicester City a more prestigious position in football.
jase67 Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 And were you singing your heart out all of the match?
Frenzied Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 And were you singing your heart out all of the match? 96563[/snapback] What relevance does that have to this discussion?
jase67 Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 The relavance being, I will be passionate but that comes out in different ways. So my passion was shown by letting CL and MDV no that he aint good enough. Take my passion away and I'd just sit there muttering like the rest
TrickyTrev Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 It doesn't mak you any less of a fan if you boo your own players but it really isn't the smartest thing to do. You do have the right to do it but it doesn't mean you have to! It achieves nothing but destroysa players confidence, its hardly suprising they look so nervous at home.
filbertway Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 I didn't boo de vries whislt he was on the pitch, but i sure as hell moaned about him after the match. |That way his confidence isn't knocked and i get to get off my chest the abuse he builds up.
FNQ Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 So, none of you booed De Vries. So who was it? Must have been someone. Don't be so self rightous.
Anish Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 So, none of you booed De Vries. So who was it? Must have been someone. Don't be so self rightous. 96614[/snapback] Have you even read this thread? <_<
step Posted 21 April 2005 Posted 21 April 2005 Booing our own player does the player no good at all nor does it do the team any good, so it aint good for us fans either. I am sure the reason that stewart aint playing is because his confidence has taken a hammering because of the abuse. Get behind the players at the match and if you feel pizzed of with them, come on here and take out your frustrations on the mesage board. The first two matches MDV came on for 15 minutres he did look good his first touch was brilliant, he was quick and he was strong. I think he has talent but he is about two stone over wieght. so he is finding it hard. hopeully he can get into shgape during summer and we will see a different player. But what ever happens please dont Boo our players

I live in Bristol so I only manage about 15 games a season and I consider myself a real fan .A fan who has watched bloody cefax to see if we’ve scored when there’s been no radio commentary. A fan who left Leicester at the age of 10 but carried on following them even when evil forces tried persuading me to follow Liverpool or manure etc. In my book if your pulling the blue shirt on and you look like your not trying and im paying you your wages than sod it your going to have to expect some abuse. He’s a big boy on lots of money .Perhaps the people who boo care more than the fans who put up with crap

Those who boo the players obviously have little idea of the psychology of playing. If a member of the team is constantly berated by his own fans the chances are it will affect his performances, particularly if that player is already low on confidence and has recently joined the club. As I said earlier in this thread, if the boo boys had got their way there would have been no O'Neill era. But still they do not learn.

If you or I weren't up to our jobs we'd soon be kicked out - just as MDV should have been dropped (and subsequently was).

If the manager thinks a player is underperforming then it is up to him to make the decsion. By booing fans are exacerbating the problem. There's also a big difference between most day-to-day jobs and football. De Vries is obviously suffering from a lack of confidence - in order for him to regain it Levein has to make a decision as to whether or not he should play him. Dropping him could further damage his confidence or possibly have the opposite effect. It's often the case that if you're not playing well but then get a few breaks your confidence is restored - seems to be happening to Connolly at the moment. I thnk that Levein should persist with De Vries, whether that is from the bench or starting him. However, the fans need to understand this, put their faith in Levein and be patient.

If you or I weren't up to our jobs we'd soon be kicked out - just as MDV should have been dropped (and subsequently was). 97138[/snapback] It would depend on if the management thought you had potential, CL obviously believes MDV has, that being the case playing him might be the best way to ensure his long term improvement, certainly CL must think that - booing him means that will take longer. You either trust the manager, who has more information about his choices than those that do the booing have or you don't. Fair enough if you don't then your entitled to boo the manager not the player. To use your analogy Anish if one of your colleagues at work was not performing you would not sit there booing them I would like to think you would talk to the manager to find out what could be done and they would not in most cases be 'klcked out' Edited to say if anyone feels strongly enough about a player to boo them that's fine with me as long as they're not just following the crowd which IMO seems more interested in having a go at the ref (as justified as it may be), the ref's assistant, the manager, individual players rather than providing positive support - it certainly produces the loudest noise.

If he lacked it he wouldn't get onto the pitch in front of 20/30 thousand in the knowledge that he's likely to be berated by his own support. Footballers are human beings also and that kind of treatment is likely to affect their performances.
