chris_lcfc_85 Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 Every day/week you read this forum, certain players seem to get a constant barracking and i really dont get it... We all know alot of players have underperformed in whats been a disappointing season but the abuse levels are crazy!! The main targets have obviously been Gallagher, Beckford, Mills, Dyer, Wellens but even a fair bit of stick for Bamba, Peltier and then more recently, people moaning about Morgan/Marshall/Drinkwater as all not being good enough for us..... My point being, I understand critiscm but the level of it this season has been harsh.... These guys dont go out and deliberately play poor....
Uncle Phil Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 I know how you feel mate. Yes it's frustrating to watch bad performances when you know they can do so much better but it's like some dumb fuks forget we're a Championship side and expect us to have a team of world beaters. The answers quite simple though, just don't go into those topics and make good use of your ignore button.

Bob Weasel Fox Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 i think we can all understand fans frustration, especially this season. Opinions are one thing, but people openly slating players for no particular apparent reason seems pointless. Get behind the team, make them want to play better and better in the blue/white/yellow shirt of Leicester City not barrack or boo them
Mack Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 It's a Football wide thing, and not just exclusive to us. This may sound odd but I blame the internet for more than one reason. Firstly because fans of one team can converge and communicate in one place such as here then criticism of a player by a fan can be observed and spread much wider and faster than ever before. Secondly I think our World today, including the internet, has created a generation of people that demand and expect immediate gratification, and this is carried into all walks of life, including Football culture. One bad pass and the player is useless and needs to be sold.... I agree it's ridiculous but that's the World today.
RowlattsFox Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 It's not just Leicester fans, unfortunately the modern day fans of all sides get on their players back when things aren't going well. Every side in the country probably has a player who gets more stick from fans. There is a reason why a player gets stick, its usually because he has been shit, but getting on someones back his counter productive, not just on the individuals performance but on the rest of the team. I cringe everytime I hear it.
marbelladave Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 When the bulk of the players put in a performance as inept, lazy and gutless as that rubish on sunday then they deserve all the criticism they get. That 'performance' on sunday was downright disrespectful to the 6000+ fans who paid good money to follow their club. I only hope that they all managed to get some enjoyment from the day, there was precious little to be had from watching the football on offer.....

The internet and email has made people totally impatient, demanding, unflexible, rude, aggressive, and unreasonable.
halferowley2 Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 I thought the support for the team has been much better of late at the games and the away matches I have been to are fantastic. I think its the media, the Mercury and radio leicester that keep the grumbers going on and on

I think people are just venting their frustrations and rightly so. This season has been very poor and what excuse do we get? "we cant cope with the pressure". Obviously most of it isnt constructive criticism and its never ideal to turn on your own players but thats life. Another thing, they might not deliberately under perform but they're still happy to take the money arent they.
accessory Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 sopot on. The internet and email has made people totally impatient, demanding, unflexible, rude, aggressive, and unreasonable. And the massive increase in wages for players and managers (which we end up paying for) has absolutely nothing to do with it? When people are paid more in a week than most fans are in a year and fail to do their job to the required standard, the fans are fully entitled to have a pop, whether at grounds or online.
Bayfox Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 I believe that you pay your money you have a right to make your feelings known, should you wish and have no objection to people doing so, I have done so in the past myself. However as mentioned in a previous post, the support over the last few games, such as Norwich, Derby, M'boro etc has been much more on the side of trying to encourage the players and I think at times this has been shown to be helpful. However I think the cheering of Gally being substituted on Sunday was out of order, he doesn't go out to play badly, we knew he was carrying a knock and then Pearson left him on far to long when he was clearly injured, I think the other thing with gally is unless he is scoring the sort of goal marshall scored on sunday, he does very little else, so he's bound to get stick from fans, if he was playing in a winning team no one would say anything, but because he doesn't really tackle or have a big work rate when you're up against it, he's an easy target. Was glad a section of the supporters quickly started singing his name over the cheers, I for one hope the positive backing the fans have been giving over the last few weeks can be carried on towards the end of the season and hopefully with a few positive performances and results between now and the end of the season people will remain onside at the start of next season, lets look at the positives, kapser, konchesky, SSL, Danns, Nugent and Beckford are all playing well under Nigel, marshall may be of and running now after that finish, we have had worse times.

There was no lack of effort, just poor defending.
marbelladave Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 Tad harsh for me that.... There was no lack of effort, just poor defending. There was no effort whatsoever put into the preparation, the gameplan or any attempts to get after the opposition. Danns and Nugent put in the kind of effort that a hardworking championship player does on a big day like sunday, the rest just went through the motions. Absolutely no sense that this was a big occasion and that something special, something extra was required. We played pretty much the same as we always do, any decent side would have seen us off, it took Chelsea barely a quarter of an hour, and at a canter too!
Guest Basildon Fox Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 Slagging the players off who play for you is nothing new. I can remember loads of players in the 80's and 90's who were verbally abused on a regular basis. Wayne Clarke, Tony Spearing, Ashley Ward, Jimmy Willis, Brian Carey, Nicky Mohan. I could go on but you get the point.
wellyfox Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 40K supposed a week They will earn more in a year than I will my entire working life. I have slagged odd player off but no wonder they get slagged off. I had a junior S/T in the kop £14 yes 14 and the players we praps on five times the average wage now its 52 times that plus. Starting to think they deserve what they get but I do wonder how many of our so called moaning fans on here are fans. Do think some here are tree's sheep and scum indisguise and not city fans but I guess we have muppets doing the same.
jonlcfc1990 Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 Don't like it then don't go on this forum Partly Agree i don't go any threads that i know will be an arguement anything with a players name on it i steer well clear. I just prefer to let people have their opinions and post on some of the more light hearted and fan based threads. If you want to defend players to the hill it's ver admirable but the point is... We all have favourites We all dislike and like players more People love to think their right We all love a good rant sometimes The one important thing you have to remember is that we should all get behind the TEAM! 100% and not let your dislike for individuals get in the way of this COYB
marbelladave Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 Don't like it then don't go on this forum I do not believe it is right to abuse players on a personal level, but as professionals, very well paid professionals at that, they should be expected to do their job. When they fail to do so, they can and should be criticised.......

Chelsea are a FAR BETTER team than us so was never going to be easy. Unfortunately some basic defensive errors cost us dear. Yo say there was no effort is absurd!!!! Dyer ran his hear out and did you not see Wellens making ground to win tackles and get the ball back!!???
strattylcfc Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 Been saying this for months so annoying even when we play well and win it happens
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 19 March 2012 Posted 19 March 2012 Right or wrong, it is the democratic right of all supporters to have an opinion.

Dyer ran his hear out and did you not see Wellens making ground to win tackles and get the ball back!!??? All the more reason to prepare properly and find a way to actually compete with a technically better side....... Where was the bite, the hussle, the attempt to knock them out of their rhythm, there wasn't any! We played our usual wide open 4-4-2, the same way that was not even good enough to get a point at Bristol....... Sure there was some running about, some physical effort but where was the mental effort, the discipline, the intensity, or the desire to get after the opposition? Did you see any, I'm pretty sure I didn't.....

We dispossessed them in their own half far more than I've seen us do to any Championship team.
