Leicester Fans

[Sods]

Its fair to say I wasn't happy with the booing, perfectic it really is.

It just goes to show how thick and impatient supporters can be.

[Mikey]

I can't believe you think that booing them will inspire them to win. If hundreds of people booed me off the pitch, I'd just think 'fook them.' Think of it in their position. The managers job is to tell them where they're going wrong, the SUPPORTers job is to SUPPORT the team.

Also in answer to your other question, I can safely say I have never booed a Leicester City side off a pitch.

[Koke]

Well you wasn't at filbert street when played Sheff Utd were you ?

Were you at Hull in 07/08? Or Charlton that same year?

1st half against Swansea was like watching Brazil 1970 compared to the two games I mentioned - you really need a sense of perspective, lad.

I didn't say we were shite, said the first half was not good enough. People booed because they know they can play better and it kicked their arses into gear.

And what everyone else in this thread is saying that it was the changes that Pearson made that was the difference, that Pearson is not stupid, would have realised what he needed to do, changed it, and that was what won the game.

If any manager of ours was to bow down to pressure from a couple of hundred blue mongies, then I would lose all respect for him. There would be no point in him being here, if that was the case.

[suffolk fox]

there's a bloke sits near me he seriously Hates Howard never has a good word to say about him! Even though Howard played well on Saturday, apart from missing the penalty.

The bloke slagged him off all game. Hobbs in the 1st half lumped the ball up to anybody and it went out for a throw. The bloke shouted out "Howard you tosser!!!!" Amazing.

[lou]

So you're saying you have never booed Leicester of the field ?

Anyone says no and their lying.

No

[Monk]

I beleive the booing could off led to the changes yes.

So, let's get this right. You think the subs that won us the game were not down to Nigel's skills but down to the crowd booing?

It's funny you say that because it didn't work that way under Holloway et al did it?

[Monk]

Well you wasn't at filbert street when played Sheff Utd were you ?

I don't think many people have a problem with booing when a team is consistently performing badly over a period of time, but 45 mins into a newly promoted season??? Seriously!

[Munzie]

Dear Hugo Sanchez,

Congratulations! You have won first prize in the poo stirring competition in this thread. If you would like to PM me your address, I would be happy to shit on a spoon and post it to you.

Nige's take on things....

The supporters really got behind the team and the atmosphere helped the players, who stuck to their task and achieved that positive start that we had hoped for.

[Guest]

Nige's take on things....

Straight from the horse's mouth.

[C-man]

Hugo, I wasn't at that Sheffield United game, but I was only five and wouldn't have booed anyway.

[AyewJoking]

Yeah its not right, not helpful, not in the spirit of things and makes you look an idiot but these people pay for their tickets. They have a right to an opinon even if it is fickle. If it bothers you that much then dont go.

[Corky]

Didn't surprise me. When we had people booing after a slightly below-par performance against Oldham, 12 points clear at the top, then of course people are going to boo at half-time in the first match.

[Koke]

I didn't say we were shite, said the first half was not good enough. People booed because they know they can play better and it kicked their arses into gear.

So why didn't the booing under Holloway help? We still got relegated.

It doesn't help.

[Fosse Boy]

Let's go the whole hog and replace the PHG with a loop of a booing crowd and replaced Chelsea Dagger with a tape of people muttering 'About fooking time and all.'

Thaty sounds like utopia to me.

So you're saying you have never booed Leicester of the field ?

Anyone says no and their lying.

No. Not even after we lost to Wycombe. I actually hit my dad because he was!

[The Doctor]

People pay their money, they have that right to boo if they feel they need to. I can't just sit there and watch us play crap and not say anything but get behind them even though it doesn't help. I would feel cheated.

People like yourself's will never understand football, i find it better when people get on my back because you know you have to raise your game.

We won end of the day, why are people bothered about it ? Have you never been to a city game before ? Its always happened.

so if you were say, taking your driving test, you would do better if the instructor was insulting you and telling you that you couldn't drive at all. utter rubbish, you'ld be disheartened and think "why bother?"

Awww, i think you need to go and sit either in the west stand or the fanily end. So you don't get yourself all wound up.

How about you stick enjoying your days out away hey ? Not really there for the football are you ? Also hundred or so. Get real is thousands of people booing.

Also i read somewhere you got kicked out the ricoh for swearing. The pot calling something mate.

don't know about you but most people go to the match to watch they football not to boo the players so really your the one not there for the football not him/her

Well you wasn't at filbert street when played Sheff Utd were you ?

just because the majority booed doesn't mean that everyone did.

[CosbehFox]

People slag Fryatt off for being crap in the championship, Howard was by far the worst of the lot last time round. Coventry away. who couldn't give a fook. Also how many of Fryatt goals did he make really ?

Interesting really when we were i) generally cack when Howard didn't play and ii) Fryatt even thinks Howard himself does a lot of work for him as he said in a number of interviews on being awarded player of the division!

This would hardly have happened years ago. The modern "supporter" is demonstrating his total lack of individuality. Having been seduced by modern football's insistence with calling fans customers, they predictably respond like a customer.

These consumers are not fans - not in the way that they used to be - and cannot be expected to be as loyal as they used to be. If the brand doesn't live up to expectation they will express their dissatisfaction.

Pathetic really.

I find the whole Football as an excuse to vent frustation for 90 minutes quite pathetic really. I thought across my mind on Saturday that the attraction to Football is slowly part becoming that you can act an absolute unjustifed idiot without threat, people act completely unlike themselves in their everyday life and feel the need to repeat expletives when nothing goes their teams way. Football has always been a great remedy to letting off some steam but normally in celebration or support....not negativity. I find it sad really because it rubs off the future generation of the support.

People have gotta remember though, its not league 1 anymore. We're coming up against good sides and the team can't play liek they did last season. They need to have a kick up the arse now and again.

I find this even more interesting when the players last season said they liked Pearson's style because he never panicked and never really got on their backs. He trusted them and believed in their ability, he never really felt the need to scapegoat or ridicule them ala the likes of Megson had done previously. Waghorn remarked on the vibe in the dressing room post-match, it's a winning mentality. Last season he went to Charlton and didn't enjoy the experience because of the vibe and the atmosphere created by the support.

I deleted Kareem's post....but didn't we turn out better performance with Holloway away when we were removed from the booing and abuse. The results were average and sometimes unlucky in a couple of cases which come to mind.

I was at that game too and remember thinking, "what the fook?" We hadn't played particularly well, but in the context of the season at that point, it didn't really matter!

I also went to the Rotherham game in the JPT away at the Don Valley Stadium on a cold, wet night and stood there, got piss wet through and witnessed a pretty piss poor performance. I did not however boo the team - I have never been able to do so, nor do I ever wish to. As a fan, I like to get behind my team, not slag them off!

Bringing up the Sheff Utd game makes me laugh, in all honesty. As I remember things, there were a few people who weren't happy with MON, but most supporters I knew blamed the Board for being unambitious, something that has always been a part of the history of this club. When I arrived at Filbo for the game, some friends of mine told me that there was going to be an anti-Board protest after the game. This did happen, however this was hijacked by a few twats who were convinced that the problem was MON himself. I, and a couple of people I didn't know, had a massive argument with a couple of them who had been singing "fuck off, MON". However most of the chants were along the lines of "sack the Board" and "spend some fucking money". In fact, as we were singing it, Neil Lennon, who had been watching from that large suite in the corner of the Kop and the Carling Stand was giving us the thumbs up, and applauded us. If the protest had been totally against MON, I don't think he would have done so.

When Sheff Utd went 2-0 up everybody got it , O Neill was as much a target as the board . O Neill always reffered to that game in later interviews as he knew he was as much a target. To think that game would be a major turning point in our history, pretty sure Muzzy made his debut that day also

He did do.

I never once blamed MON for that situation, and there were plenty others who shared that view. MON was always one to hold grudges though. It was a very brave move to allow a group of fans to go in there and talk the issue through with him. Shame most of them that went were the ones chanting for him to go, and not those of us who didn't.

I think O Neill went the first 10 games without a win but many were draws and we wasnt playing ever so badly we just needed our luck to change. The fans who had a pop just looked at the league table saw we were half way and no way could we make the play offs. The rest is history

Some things haven't changed; we had fans last season moaning we were never going to be promoted because we were top and had the temerity to draw the odd game!
