Corky Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 I didn't like the booing in the game, I don't like booing at all really, but I can understand it at the end. Our fans are no worse than others. They're really quite mild compared to some.
kylecoare Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 Anyone thats sent abuse to Hayley gallager should be ashamed of themselves, she is a pregnant woman who has no impact on our game at all, so blame yourselves rather than her, i wouldnt be surprised if some players didnt want to leave the club after hearing all this shit, and yes its okay if the weaker players leave but what if the better players are pissed of with the attitude of the fans! No wonder players dont want to join us we have one of the worse fan bases in the country, when we used to bew so good

No wonder players dont want to join us we have one of the worse fan bases in the country, when we used to be so good Because every underachieving lower-league club would take 8000 fans away with them, like we did last week. I don't recall the manager accusing us of "delusions of grandeur" then..
ibbosuk Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 It was dreadful to hear Pearson describe fans as having delusions of grandeur and I think he is probably regretting it already. A club with rich owners, good crowds in a big city has a right to expect better than 15th in the Championship. He completely misread the mood. He came here for the money because Hull were doing well at the time and this itself was something of a disgraceful act on his part but having done that he has the hypocracy to insult the fans' ambitions. People are angry and upset because their team is playing so badly when so much was spent on it. They have cheered the players all season and got nothin in return so no wonder they have lost faith and started to boo. This is a time for leaders and today on and off the pitch the only person close to that Kasper Schmeichal What positive impact has Pearson made on the team since his arrival ? We were 9th when Sven was sacked, 2 points off the play offs. We are Currently 15th under Pearson and 5 pts off the play offs WE ARE PLAYING ABSOLUTE DROSS ALL OVER THE PITCH (Apart from Kasper Schmeichel who has been the one ray of hope) Yet Pearson accuses the fans of having "Delusions of grandeu" IF THIS IS WHAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM PEARSON, WE HAVE MADE A BIG MISTAKE APPOINTING HIM. .
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 I booed. I booed long and hard at that final whistle. Because that was one of the most disgraceful performances I've seen a Leicester side produce. In his interview when asked what the mood was like in the changing room Pearson answered: "downbeat and so they should be". If we can't all unanimously accept that the 'performance' produced today was not good enough then we can give up now. I can take losing, we're all used to that and broken expectations being Leicester fans. But a display lacking in any passion, commitment and desire, coupled with poor execution of the simplest of tasks, deserves the reception it got. To those against this booing, what was I meant to do? Clap? Doing that wouldn't be being true to myself. Say/do nothing? That would suggest indifference and I don't think any of us felt indifference to that. Instead I showed my contempt at that abomination. Verb: Say “boo” to show disapproval or contempt: "they booed when he stepped on stage"; "I was booed off the stage". Like it or not, football, and watching sport as a spectator, is an entertainment business. That is where the difference lies between me in my job and the players in theirs. I am not paid to entertain anyone and if I were then I would have the expectation of myself that I did that, if not with spectacular, dazzling football (I know that's not always possible), then at the very least by giving it my all. If you give your all, you'll be rewarded with support from Leicester City fans. See Paul Dickov, Iain Hume, hell even Trevor Benjamin. And therein lies the difference between Kasper Schmeichel and the outfield players at the minute. Someone made a comment about a potential signing coming to the game and seeing our support. How about seeing that if you give the very most basic of things, effort, then you will be given a great ovation from every corner of the stadium as Kasper got today? The booing debate does my nut in every time. As others have said, no-one goes there wanting to boo. We spend time, effort and money travelling far and wide willing Leicester to win. That much cannot be questioned. And if I were a player I'd take being booed after playing as they did today when it comes with looking up to see 8,000 following you as there were at Forest the other week. Whatever happened to being booed and thinking "hang on a minute, they're not happy with this. I'll show them, shut them up and give my everything to sort this out". A message has been sent today, and I think it's a turning point: for all the expectation, all the money and patience today was not good enough. Over to you Leicester City players.
kylecoare Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 yes we have a good away following, but our home crowd are a bunch of moaning tossers, yes well lost and yes we were utter shit, but come on doesnt mean attacking people is going to make it better, lets just all calm down a bit and see what the window brings, moan at the start of feb if pearson hasnt at least changed a few things. And the delousions of grandeu line is showing a lot in this and the hundred other posts, at the minute were a mid table team that spent a lot of money on not the best players, none of this is pearsons fault

Agree but too late - the spluttering season died today. Top 6? Whu saints Middlesbrough Cardiff reading brum . Us about 13th.
Lee Foxier More Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 yes we have a good away following, but our home crowd are a bunch of moaning tossers, yes well lost and yes we were utter shit, but come on doesnt mean attacking people is going to make it better, lets just all calm down a bit and see what the window brings, moan at the start of feb if pearson hasnt at least changed a few things. And the delousions of grandeu line is showing a lot in this and the hundred other posts, at the minute were a mid table team that spent a lot of money on not the best players, none of this is pearsons fault Yes it is Pearson's fault, he's the manager so he should have sorted it out by now. Instead we get one abject performance after another with the occasional glimmer of hope thrown in if we are lucky. He's had time to stop the rot but stubbornly refuses to change his patently useless ways or pick international players over his journeymen favourites. PS Do you understand what a "fan base" is?
kylecoare Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 yes realise fan base is wrong term, just typing without thinking of best ways to say things!! Pearson is only doing the same as Sven was before him, abe played last week, as did kennedy etc, changing the team is what he is doing, just everytime we change a player its for another player that isnt really part of the "team" we need to sort that out first and foremost, get these guys into a team, sod it send em all on a piss up, used to work in MoN's days!!!
volpeazzurro Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 Don't blame anyone for booing at the end though I think it's counterproductive during it. Really though, that was poor wasn't it! With the odd exception most of the players should donate their wages to the One in a Million Fund. It's unnacceptable that a player for example on Mills wages can't occasionally pass to his own player rather than just lump it to the opposition, if he for one minute for example thinks he's a Premiership quality player then that's what I call delusions of grandeur. Surly it's not too much to expect that players of their supposed quality might add a bit of movement in their play, here's a clue lads, try running off the ball, Barnsley managed it! Even at the end when we were desperate to try and score an equaliser Schmichael was screaming for them to run back up the pitch rather than just amble there. We might as well play with 10 men as have the pedestrian King there, Danns apart from the odd move proved again that he can't pass the ball unless almost stationary, Mills I've already mentioned. NP has a big job on his hands.
iancognito Posted 14 January 2012 Posted 14 January 2012 Nice to see the players coming out on Twitter and apologising about the performance publicly. Oh, no, sorry my mistake, they've gone a bit quiet. Love how Gally7 will constantly retweet any Youtube clip of his Palace goals but disappear when the going gets tough. But as I've said in another thread, we have to accept that right now this club is as mediocre as Barnsley, Brighton, Peterborough and the rest at the moment. The expectation levels need to drop dramatically because we haven't been a top flight club for 10 years and have rarely showed any signs we ever will be again in the near future. We had a great spell in the 90s but these days we're not even good enough to be called a yo-yo club. If it happens and we string some results together, great, but I'm not going to hold my breath waiting for it.
Callabinho Posted 15 January 2012 Posted 15 January 2012 We take things to heart, I don't think we are a bad bunch, I like many others still see us as a premier league team, I think to myself we are Leicester city! Things will come good! Remember the days at the street when we would be loosing or drawing and needed a lift, we the 12th man provided it! I get pissed off to the core when I watch us when things go wrong, I never boo and I try to criticise constructively, to me it seems evident that it isn't Wellens, it isn't King or Gally, it's the team, something is not right, heads are low and shoulders drooped, the problem is the old 12th man from city of old are not giving them That lift! I understand times are tough at the moment, and when you pay nearly £100 for a family to watch a football match and it's a poor as we have been seeing lately, we have every right to be pissed off! But don't forget you lot that we support Leicester City, and we must support those in the blue shirt, only we can show them how much this football club means to us! So instead of shouting so and so you're shit or what ever, shout Leicester! Because nothing makes You're hairs stand on end like 20 odd thousand fans chanting!
5waller5 Posted 15 January 2012 Posted 15 January 2012 Anyone think it was worse than the milwall game? i do YES!!! I was just about to post that!!!!
Stand UP... Posted 15 January 2012 Posted 15 January 2012 I've no idea if any of you crawl on here or not but I have to say I am ashamed at many of our fans today. Booing our players, cheering when players get subbed. I did'nt bite on some of the comments I heard today, but if you are on here let me answer some of your comments... "Pearson get him off useless twat." Number 1 There's nothing like supporting your own players. Number 2 Who exactly did we have on the bench who could do any better? "How much do you earn, willy puller." Yes he's not playing that well but he's playing for us so why not think before you open your mouth? "Wellens....humph...He's useless." Yes of course it's all his fault as usual. Why blame Bankers for our current National financial plight when there's good old Ritchie to blame? "Gallagher what the **** was that?" An attempt to cross the ball. Do you think he meant to **** it up on purpose? Add all this to the booing at half time and full time, the cheering when Gallagher was taken off and the general on the back attitude of a lot of the crowd towards the team today and whilst I'm not suggesting it's the whole reason we were poor today it certainly is'nt helping. And if you are going to say "I pay my money I can say what I like." If you are going to behave like that then please keep your money in your pocket and go somewhere else because it is not helping our club. 'real fans' our frustrated, that is why we boo them and jeer when someone pathetic is subbed. personally i couldnt careless at the money spent on my season ticket plus costs of following my team but when i watch my team playing like they belong in league 2 week in and week out gives me plenty of reasons to boo them off the pitch. The only player that deserves credit is Kasper..
5waller5 Posted 15 January 2012 Posted 15 January 2012 Definitely. Was talking about that on the way out. I thought the scoreline flattered Millwall. We were awful, definitely, but not as bad as we were today. Couldn't agree more ... we were poor against Millwall but even then looked like we were the better team for periods .... they took their chances and the defeat looked worse than it was ..... Today though was really really much worse. The way they ran through us and passed their way through us reminded me of playing FIFA 12 with my 8 year old son .... He's awesome at it and makes me look stupid!
THEFATBASTARD Posted 15 January 2012 Posted 15 January 2012 People may say footballers are overpaid and nurses etc should be on more money, which in an ideal world is true...however it is supply and demand and a footballer earns the wage they do because it is a business..e.g Wayne Rooney is on a shit load of money, because out of millions of people that play football world wide there are not many with that talent...its the same in any industry. I believe the issue to be, it is hard to feel sorry for a player e.g. in Leicester City's case that is paid so much money, but isn't putting in the effort. They have the talent and that's why they are paid so much, but they are not using it to there full ability because they simply don't want it enough, are not putting in the effort and don't have the winning drive...kasper schmeichel is a player who fans would be happy to pay the wages for as he wants it, its the players that just don't care that can be classed as being 'overpaid' Its a sweeping statement to say its everyone with " pent up anger from my stressful work and home life" to boo...its more the people that are frustrated to have spent a lot of time and actually given a damn about a bunch of individuals that clearly didn't........its the fact they have the talent and are good, but simply don't want it enough and lack the effort that the fans deserve... supply and demand? there is no shortage of shight in leicester.. we could not give them away..

Sharmania Posted 15 January 2012 Posted 15 January 2012 I totally agree. Regardless of the score line there's no way I would ever "boo" Leicester City. They're MY team and even if we were losing 5-0 I still wouldn't have. They're obviously not trying to mess things up or do poor set pieces, and that hostile reception at the end is only going to KILL confidence. I have seen far better performances but this is football, anyone can beat anyone and we lost today. On a lighter note, being knocked out of the FA Cup would not be a big deal to be honest, so I think we should have a bit of an experiment with the side and see what works. The worst than can happen is we get knocked out in front of, let's face it, probably only 2000 Forest fans max.
ozleicester Posted 15 January 2012 Posted 15 January 2012 There is a theme here and I think we are getting to the root of the resentment. So many people here have mentioned the money the players earn that I think it's fair to deduce that there is a lot of resentment amongst our fans and probably the public at large at the amount footballers are paid. And thus it seems fair game to shout whatever you like at a footballer because he earns a shit load of cash. Sod the fact that you are supposed to be a supporter of the team and want it to do well. 'Top told us we were going up and these overpaid lazy tossers are not delivering so I'm going to wind all my pent up anger from my stressful work and home life into the overpaid pricks that play for my team.' I understand it now, and it makes me sad if I'm honest. I dont think youve got it yet (even after many explanations,) the team of PLAYERS and MANAGER are playing shit, people (who effectively pay their wages) wish to advise them of this fact. The money comes into it as a secondary issue, if you have the gumption to believe you are worth tens of thousands of pounds a week to play/manage football... then FFS do it properly. If you are the manager, dont come out with bullsh!t like "delusions of granduer", we have a squad that most of the Championship would happily have and whilst no one has a right to be anywhere other than where their results put them... our results have not been good enough. We have the right to complain, and the people who are not performing must accept it... understand it and hopefully improve from it.... or FOOk OFF to a pub team
Guest MarshallForEngland Posted 15 January 2012 Posted 15 January 2012 It is amusing that some people appear to genuinely believe that their paltry contribution of the price of a ticket affords their opinions an extra layer of authenticity. Regardless of how much of your own wages you spend and how out-of-pocket you are, the sums of money each of you moaners contribute to the club is so negligible as a percentage of its total revenue (sponsorship & advertising, broadcasting, private investment, ticket sales to people who aren't divs etc) that you really are entirely expendable. Nobody gives a shiny shite about your 'right to say what you want', least of all the manager and the players. When you buy a ticket, you don't also purchase with it the right to have your opinions heard and valued. You have always had the right to say your opinions, but in most other areas of life you don't arbitrarily exercise your rights merely because you can; just because you are able to shout at your own players and boo them, it doesn't mean you are obliged to. Given that players learn very early on to take literally no notice of the horseshit that braindead 'fans' insist on throwing in their direction, how many of the 'I've paid my money so I'll do what I want' brigade are willing to venture what they believe is the best outcome of their constant derogation of their own team's players? What can it actually do?

Advertising = fans sponsorship = fans broadcasting= fans Ticket sales = fans make no mistake... the fans pay the wages the fans buy the advertised products the fans go to the stores that sponsor the fans pay the licence or subscription to watch the fans buy the tickets. NO fans... NO highly paid professional footballers As the people who pay these people, fans have a right to express their disatisfaction with how they are performing the duties they are paid for. Agreed most of us dont get bboed and yelled at at work.. but then most of us also dont get people walking around with our names on their backs and being paid sh!tloads for playing a game most would do for free.
foxile5 Posted 15 January 2012 Posted 15 January 2012 Oooh, don't boo the prima donnas. They're sensitive too y'know! No, we should all sit down and, when things are really bad, start a rousing chorus of 'lets go Leicester' or 'go teeeaaaammm'.....maybe 'defense, defense'. Just think of the awful example we'll be setting all the kiddies in the family stand. They need to know that, in life, when you do a really terrible piss poor job thousands of people will just applaud your 'efforts'. OP is a cock. The sanitisation of football is not something we should urge on Leicester City Football Club. Fans are fans. They shout abuse, boo, cheer, swear, sing and the like. Trying to stop that is an awful thing, perhaps OP is the one who needs to put his money in his pocket and **** off down the road to the Ricoh. The players didn't bother to try today and people told them exactly what they thought of that. No problem. No qualm. Just honest to god evaluation of what happened. It was shit. They got told. If OP wants a sanitised crowd I'd suggest going to the Tigers. Don't boo my ****ing arse, ****.
