Gallaghers Brother in law Twitter GAZSMITH2011

[LCFC_FAN_1995]

How the hell is gallagher on a contract till 2015?

[RowlattsFox]

This is where Twitter becomes a problem, opens players and families to the idiots. Giving abuse at a game is one thing, but attacking people on social networks is unacceptable. His brother in law is just sticking up for a relative, something we'd all do.

Gallagher is a decent player, nothing more and easily replaceable. One things for sure if he does leave for a fellow Championship club than he is guaranteed to score some beauties against us.

[cc_star]

Personally think Gallagher would be better playing off the front man

He'd then be in his preferred shooting position, wouldn't have to backtrack fullbacks, just have to pressure opposing CB's from bringing the ball out.

I know he doesn't tackle (like most technical players) but he does pressure.

All he'd need to do is link up play, which he can do, slot balls through... or work off knock-backs for his longer range shots.

Ridiculous how it's not been done

[Vardinhio]

Does anyone really care? Gallagher is not good enough and we all know it. Yes our fans have been harsh on him but his performances have been lazy and personally I think he thinks he is much better than he is. He will either be off to Celtic in a cut price deal or will have to take a huge drop in salary to move elsewhere. No team in the Championship that finishes above us this season will be interested in him...he's a bottler, a fancy dan, a pansie and quite frankly when the going gets tough the Gally gets going.

I saw Ben Marshall fail to deliver a cross many many times when on the wing last night, i also saw him fail to control the ball on 2 occasions when given a good cross in a promising position. Some of his corners were either too short or too long. I don't think he's a winger, dyer is the only player in our squad who i'd call a winger and who can consistantly get in behind a defence.

I think Marshall is a great talent and a good signing but can't help feeling that our fans just want new players to cheer every other season becasue if gallagher made those mistakes there would be jeers from the stands. We should be supporting all our players, but if you want to be critical i can think of many players who have been worse this season.

marshalls best games have been when he was in the centre, imo

Gallagher is not good enough and we all know it.

Not good enough?

Not good enough for the mighty Leicester City who's highest finish since 2003/4 relegation from the Prem is a whopping 5th place in the 2nd flight, a task achieved with a Mr Gally in the team which is a lot more than you can say for some of the johnny-come-latelys, on top of that his goal record from a midfield positions beats one forward & compares favourably with the other with starts taken into account.

David Nugent 40 starts 0 subs 15 goals 8 assists

Paul Gallagher 18 starts 10 subs 8 goals 3 assists

Jermain Beckford 31 starts 6 subs 8 goals 3 assists

Neil Danns 22 starts 7 subs 5 goals 2 assists

Lloyd Dyer 26 starts 8 subs 4 goals 2 assists

I think he needs to do better in some aspects of his game or be utilised in other roles by the manager, but the vitriol aimed at him, the sense of delusion and ignoring of facts is an absolute & total joke.

yip its only terrible leicester fans..

We should have a whip round for him make him a free man of our city. He's my hero now love the guy

[ian the fox]

would like to have been a fly on the window inside "Wellen's ponse mobile" coming from shitty Manchester on matchdays .

[theessexfox]

All season Leicester fans have been complaining about how the team show no consistency and can't string a number of wins together like Reading have done to gain promotion. Well I'm sorry but you only have to look at players like Gallagher and understand why that is! On his day he is arguably one of the best players in the league, skilful, great free kick/penalty technique, outrageous long shots, goals the lot. However that is on his day.....his day comes once every 10-12 games! Yeah he's scored 10 goals this season but you will find the majority of these came in the same games and a lot have come from penalties. You cannot excuse the rest of the games where he is non-existent or worse actually a detriment to the team, i would rather have a player of less ability such as Jobi Mcanuff but who consistently delivers performances of an acceptable level. You just cannot afford to carry people in this league.

I don't get people saying that goals are 'only penalties'; are penalties not goals? Do they not count the same amount as 65-yarders?

I totally agree that he is harshly treated, I hate seeing our players booed. I also believe that in his case the stats don't tell the full picture. Gally pops up with some good creative play now and again, usually when the pressure is off (I would expect stats would show most of his goals are scored when we are already winning). However, overall Gally lacks the steel to succeed. We can't expect teams to allow us to be 2-0 up before he gets going, the games in this league are too competitive. Gally is slow out of the blocks, lacks industry and adds little to our general build up play or defensive unit. He is also an extremely average set peice taker who has a reputation for being much better than he is.

Gally will succeed in a team where he can come on in a winning position with 30mins left to play and people are tired. At the minute this isn't us. He would perfectly suit Celtic and the Scottish league and to be honest that's where I hope he goes. If not that I can see him going cheaply back to Blackburn who would utilise him in a very similar fashion.

[ScouseFox]

Taking it from the top:

Rotherham (a) 1-0 down.

Bury (a) 2-1 down.

Burnley (a) 2-1 up.

Palace (h) 1-0 up, 2-0 up.

Peterborough (h) 0-0.

Ipswich (h) 1-0 down.

Cardiff (h) 0-0, 1-0 up.

Doncaster (h) 3-0 up.

So bar his second vs Palace and the one in his cameo at home vs Donny, all pretty important goals. If you're asking me every goal is important though, but if you're being picky.

Only 3 penalties in his 10 goals as well, so take them away if you're weird enough to not count a goal as a goal and he's on 7 in all comps. Still good for a midfielder who's been injured for large parts of the season.

[Vardinhio]

I perfectly understand he has bagged a few, I stand by my comments though with reference to how NP currently plays him. If there is a future for Gally here he needs to play much closer to the striker(s) as his engine is about as powerful as an electric mower. Gally can't be relied upon to operate at the heart of our team, neither can be contribute as a winger....

[ADK]

I agree his best position is playing just behind the striker(s).

Leicester fans divided over a player shocker!

Silly things said over the internet shocker!

The topic of booing being discussed in another thread shocker!

What is the world coming to!

[LCFC_DAN]

I think that the fans booing him is terrible and I believe that he is treated very harshly by some of our fans. The goals that he has scored for us this season have been pretty vital this year, and the people moaning about some being penalties are just weird because at the end of the day a goal is a goal , whether its from a 30 yard screamer or a penalty. He's scored 8 goals in the league this season- joint second scorer at Leicester with Beckford , and has been injured quite a few times this season, and I believe without these injuries he could have scored a few more goals for us.

I believe that he does need to improve in some parts of his game , but the stick he gets is ridiculous. It frustrates me that if Gally does something wrong( poor corner , sloppy passing) he seems to get so much stick , but other players dont seem to when they make a mistake. Marshall yesterday made some poor crosses and had a poor touch but was there any jeers....no but if Gally would have done this he would have been booed constantly. Overall yesterday we played poor but it only seemed to be him getting the stick. He's in double-figures for goals in all competitions this season and also has quite a few assists to his name, which the majority of these seemed to change the game in our favour.

[Lovejoy]

Personally I find it embarrassing when I sit there at games and people around the ground are booing one of our own players like that. One of the biggest draws of attending games for me is the tribal mentality, and being surrounded by these cretins is making it hard to feel as strongly for the club. Step outside of Leicestershire and to the rest of the country, Leicester City are just a small, nothingy Midlands team who punched above their weight for a bit in the late 90's and now have a bit of wonga behind them.

[shade]

Agree with this completely. I think the 5 you've mentioned deserve a lot more slack than the new players. These guys have at least come close to achieving something at the club and have been decent servants through a difficult period.

Gallagher's not my cup of tea but the abuse he (and moreso his wife) have got on and off the pitch is absolutely disgraceful.

all this weakling talk does annoy me a little bit. people use the word "servant", "...but Gally and Wellens have been good servants to the club", get real, do you understand English? what servant do you know that gets almost £1,000,000 a year for kicking a ball for 90 minutes, 46 odd times a year?

if Gally, Wellens, Howard and anyone else isn't performing or trying hard enough then they should accept any booing they get (I don't agree with vitriol or personal abuse).

booing is the fans only real way of saying "you're not trying hard enough" or of saying "Nigel, what are you doing, this guy isn't good enough".

so a guy who gets £1,000,000 a year has his feelings hurt, cry me a river, flamers. the bottom line is, if someone either a) is clearly performing or b) is clearly tryinh hard on the pitch (assuming they're still up to standard), then they won't get booed. suck it up male adults.

****S ME OFF! People get shit said to them all the time on £16,000 a year yet being on £16,000 a week they're not aloud shit said to them

[Fox92]

Hasn't been good enough for ages. Not committed and doesn't offer anything. Hopefully he will be leaving, along with other deadwood players.

[Webbo]

****S ME OFF! People get shit said to them all the time on £16,000 a year yet being on £16,000 a week they're not aloud shit said to them

Give me an example of somebody on £16k a year getting booed at work by a bunch of ignorant knobheads or have their wife abused by total strangers on Twitter.

Top post mate, one of the best I've ever read, agree with everything that you said.

I hate the fact people tell me, or whoever, I can't boo. These players earn more than we will ever earn and when they don't perform, why shouldn't we boo? It is our way, hardworking fans who pay decent money to be "entertained", to express our feelings.

I find it funny that the player or friends of the player want to moan over a website at us lol

[Vardinhio]

Gallagher makes a point of discussing his sexual antics on Twitter so I think it's pretty fair game.....

[Walsallfox]

Don't agree his wife getting abuse that crosses line, after all she doesn't tweet abuse back at people or get involved in petty squabbles. After reading twitter this evening Mr Smith the brother in law is shooting shit at people from all angles, he is fuelling the fire, some fella called bert seemed to get shit for no reason on there, and now gazsmith's dad is getting a bit naughty too.

If I was Paul Gallagher I be telling his brother in law to shut the **** up, he is annoying lcfc fans, I am sure he look smug if some sod lamps him when coming out corporate area Monday night.

No one has said you can't boo

People have said personal abuse is ridiculous, especially before they come on the pitch... and it's obviously counter productive

the people who boo'd would have been the people who celebrated his goals the loudest too

Although to me, booing a player when there are about 20 worse is just weird.

Win as a team, loose a team.
