Sir Fynwy Posted 7 April 2010 Posted 7 April 2010 All these years of following Leicester City and I've just found out I'm not 'real' fan because I don't own a Black Shirt well not since I threw away my Nazi ones! You should be OK with a few brown shirts. The type of fan that thinks SCUM, Football Factory, Green Street and anything involving Danny Dyer is great should probably go and find themselves something else to do until they grow up.

Perhaps you should climb down you stuck-up pr1ck. Whether you like a film or not is a completely subjective opinion that's got absolutely fvck all to do with football. Telling people they shouldnt support leicester because they like a generally highly-rated film about a 1970s borstal is by the far the most ridiculous of all the shit that's been chatted in this thread.

Lovely response, fits the stereotype nicely.
Shrenchel Posted 7 April 2010 Posted 7 April 2010 Tune in next week when Sir Fynwy will dictate what bands it's acceptable for Leicester fans to listen to! And don't miss the monthly special Booze for Blues where he tells you to fvck off and not support leicester if you don't enjoy the same pints as him.
Asha Posted 7 April 2010 Posted 7 April 2010 Man United away support- all stands, all loud, boisterous, all black, most drunk.

This is really entertaining.
purpleronnie Posted 7 April 2010 Posted 7 April 2010 Leicester fans used to be like that, they were the days.... Do leicester fans still mainly sit though?
Shrenchel Posted 7 April 2010 Posted 7 April 2010 Are you here all week? This is really entertaining. Probably not. I was going to wait until you attempted to explain why people should stop supporting city based on what films they watch but I can see even you realise you've talked complete rubbish and I'll probably have false teeth and be pissing myself infront of Countdown by the time you think of one justification for that.

Why would I justify what I said, my opinion is that if people glorify football hooliganism they should try growing up, I used a few easy examples for the hard of thinking, seems you can't grasp that simple concept so I'll leave you to piss yourself and lose you teeth in your own time.

I think he's more critizing them for liking hooliganism which in my opinion is justified. Yes the happy clapper attendance and poor atmosphere takes away from what the suits call the "matchday experience" but getting in a bunch of hooligans is not the way to deal with this. Like it or not football is a business, it relies on the fans turning up to games and in order to mantain a long term fan base we need to have young kids turning up. If there is an element of danger are the parents going to be willing to let their kids go to the football?

Except that doesn't really make sense does it brains (even regardless of the fact one of the films you mentioned has nothing to do with football hooliganism and netheir do any of Danny Dyer's other films.) Watching a film doesn't mean you're glorifying its subject matter. If I watch Monster, am I glorifying rape? If I watch Hurt Locker, am I glrorifying war? If I watch Shallow Grave am I glorifying murder? etc etc.
OzFox Posted 7 April 2010 Posted 7 April 2010 Seats, flares, ****** and movies. This thread really does have it all.

lcfcadam Posted 7 April 2010 Posted 7 April 2010 Missed that one. Maybe they could be merged? The Thread See if you can make any sense out of that!
C-man Posted 7 April 2010 Posted 7 April 2010 Who said anything about introducing hooliganism to our away support? Maybe a few naive posts here and there about United's following, '******' and 'happy clappers', but I've no idea where this glorifying of hooliganism bollocks has sprouted from. Nonsense.

If there is an element of danger are the parents going to be willing to let their kids go to the football? I remain slightly bemused by the assumption that only those actively chanting or singing are responsible for the presence or absence of 'atmosphere'. I clearly recall the days when Filbert street was absolutely buzzing and the singing and chanting from the Kop was a very small part of that. No the buzz, the atmosphere came from the thousands of exited fans, united in common purpose and support for their club urging the team on in a host of different ways. The massed, unorchestrated reaction of the fans, the pre-match anticipation, the sheer noise of the fans reaction to events during the game made for an unforgetable experience. The singing and chanting of a couple of thousand in the Kop was neither here nor there.
OzFox Posted 7 April 2010 Posted 7 April 2010 The Thread See if you can make any sense out of that! Christ almighty. I see what you mean.

The singing and chanting of a couple of thousand in the Kop was neither here nor there. But those two things I've put in bold are exactly what's missing from a large number of fans who go down now. I agree, they don't have to sing non-stop throughout the game to contribute to an atmosphere, but sitting down in absolute silence and politely clapping when we score will never create "sheer noise" or any 'buzz'. I'm sorry, but standing in block K towards the end of the first half when the stands have half-emptied to the concourse and all singing / chanting has stopped is a really depressing feeling!

Used to love it when the ball would get played into the penality area and row by row everyone would jump to their feet, the sound of thousands of seats flicking up. Don't really know what happened to that, plenty of fans still do it, even ones in modern bowls with perfect views.

Don't really know what happened to that It's been replaced by the sound of creaking joints as we all lean forward. They do say it's an ageing population....

Don't really know what happened to that, plenty of fans still do it, even ones in modern bowls with perfect views. The number of times I get up off my seat helps me to measure how good a game it's been, whether that's a loss, draw, defeat or even goalless. There have been plenty of games over the last few years, prior to Pearson when I've seen absolutely nothing to get out of my seat for, not even a shitty referee. There's been many tijmes where my head has sunk to my lap in total despair at yet another misplaced pass.

There's been many tijmes where my head has sunk to my lap in total despair at yet another misplaced pass. That's all to do with the level of entertainment. Some teams/managers are so scared of losing, we end up with scrappy midfield head tennis and if you're lucky a couple of half chances. My brother and I left the stadium after a a game against Sheffield Wednesday both slumped in despair. And that was a victory!
