Our Fans

[Guest ttfn]

Some of us live hundred of miles away, for work or personal reasons. If you want to pay for my transport costs and match day ticket, I'll PM you my details.

You've missed my point completely.

This is not about people being "better" fans (I hate that attitude). It's about people not having the right to criticise those who do make the extraordinary sacrifices that people do to get to games only to be treated to shit display after shit display.

[Guest ttfn]

I'm a student and live in Sheffield, I can't afford to go to games.

I'm not telling them anything. I'm calling them dickheads, it's a forum that they've infested for weeks and months and I'm giving my opinion on in. A lot of people seem to agree.

Look I'm not going to tell you how to spend your money but is one of your reasons for not going to Barnsley really that you live in Sheffield?

I hope you're not studying for a geography degree!

[Swiss_tony]

i used to be a student once.

then i grew up, got a job and responsibilities like a family, and realized the world didn't revolve around me.

how patronizing you are.

Well, people do have that right, legally.

I'm sorry but I don't really care how much people spend or how far they travel, that doesn't mean I can't call them arseholes, some of them are.

Sometimes people react to players not trying, or match after match of poor displays, and some of them just turn against the team at the drop of a hat, or are only vocal negatively, never positively.

Like I said, I can't afford trains, tickets and food if I have to travel. I've been to Hillsborough and Bramall Lane.

What does anything you just typed have to do with anything I've said?

well if you're a student and you don't know what patronizing is i shudder to think at the current standards of education.

I'm not a student. I was one once, a long time ago.

I know what patronising means.

I still agree 100% with the 1st post in this thread.

The life circumstances of the OP have nothing whatsoever to do with the validity of the points he made.

[Swiss_tony]

agreeing with his post does not make it more valid.

if he had said "i really hate the boo boys who slag the team off", that's one thing, and a valid opinion.

but he didn't say that, he said we have fans so stupid they shouldn't be supporters of the club. and since it turns out he's a student, it implies that he is better qualified to support leicester than some of us.

that's patronizing.

He said the people who often treat the player and managers hatefully are usually obvious thickos. I think that's pretty fair and has nothing to do with him being student.

You can be uneducated and still not be naturally stupid, like some people who support us.

I agree.

IMO 'Haydos' can take this thread and shove it up his arris.

[Vacamion]

No it doesn't and no it isn't.

I don't follow your logic at all.

You just appear to dislike students.

referring to the second line, of course.

in my experience, that first line is just not true, so i guess it's all down to opinions innit?

Who implied that made me better? I mentioned it because it affected my ability to go to games. You're the one taking meaning from it when there isn't any...

[Swiss_tony]

just patronizing ones.

[Haydos]

just patronizing ones.

Explain how it's patronising (with an 's' by the way, not a 'z' ). It's definitely insulting, no idea how you could consider it patronising.

[Essington blue]

I'm coming to accept that Nige is on borrowed time. Each match recently has ended and we look less like turning this around. One thing that's struck me though is how much hatred a lot of our fans on here have for him. Hatred. Not disappointment or disagreement, hatred. Pure vitriol.

This has got me pretty wound up. In the last few seasons I've come to despise our fans as a group. I know there's plenty out there 'in real life' that are passionate but good-natured, love this club and have empathy and understanding and I apologise, this isn't directed at you. It's aimed at the pathetic, bile-filled, neanderthals that seem to take joy in our failure. Cvnt, twat, arrogant fvck. All words used to describe a guy that got us out of league 1, into the playoffs, to 2nd in the table They jump on it like animals, it's shameful and I'm embarrassed to be a Leicester fan at the moment. Because of our fans, not our players or manager or board.

When you combine that with the fact that you all seem as clueless as each other would be funny if it weren't so tragic.

"Bring back Danns and Beckford" says one Pearson-out spammer.....brilliant.

"Changes the team too much" says another...... like if we'd have stuck with the same team week in week out we'd be fine.

"Bring home Martin" ......Bet you were calling for his head after his start at the club.

"Barnsley miss a pen ffs"....For **** sake? **** off and support another club you ****.

"Pearson out - I want him out immediately - he's ruined our season" ......Ruined our season? He got us to 2nd in the first place you mug.

"total clear out at the end of the season".... Yeah, that's worked out well the last 3 years. You'll be calling for the next managers head after 10 games as well I bet.

"The pro Pearson supporters have gone strangely quiet. "I and a number of others have taken dogs abuse over the past months (years in my case) for any criticism of Mr Pearson so come on defend him now we all know who you are!".....Yeah, should have gone when we were sitting in 2nd, that would have been a great move.

This isn't about defending Pearson, this is about our support. He can go now, I wouldn't argue. Fvck the lot of you though, you don't deserve this club.

We got in second position in spite of Pearson, not because of him you MUG!!! If you want evidence of this just look firstly at how pathetic we are & then look at pearsons mid table, mediocre hull side of 18 months ago & now look at virtually the same side ( with a couple of additions) with someone who can actually manage a bit in charge!

& you think our fans are stupid for wanting o'neill?? That's a tough one isn't it! O'neill or Pearson?????????????

Pearson. Glad we've cleared that up.

[Swiss_tony]

neither.

pearson is incapable, so far, of turning around a slump the likes of which we haven't seen for about 7 or 8 years.

MON is clueless without robertson. he should just stick to punditry from now on.

[Strokes]

Come on James, how can you possibly verify such a statement?!

Oh right, fair enough.

Lmao

You see this is the kind of comment that makes people look like idiots. swiss_tony, if you were still wondering what Haydos' point was, here it is in a nutshell. How can you not be patronising to an idiot like this?

How on earth did we get to 2nd in spite of Pearson, when we were midtable when he came? Was it fairies? The ghost of Matt Gillies?

Why weren't we 2nd at all between his 1st and 2nd reign if it was in spite of him?
