Why do...

[sylofox]

Watford fans have been pissy arse for a couple of years trying to make something out of nothing.

The last 2 seasons they have been spouting shite.

 

The problem is since luton got booted no one cares a toss about them.

For some reason they have invented shite and latched onto us.

I don't care about the play offs we were lucky to even be in the semi's

 

What pisses me off is the fact your club allowes your mascot to re enact knocky.

Thats bang out of order and the other is your forums for allowing your moronic fans to post racist comments.

 

Like "Cheating French cvnt"

 

So you have my reasons rockyknob or whatever your name now plse do one and fvck right off.

[foxfanazer]

I do find it funny though. In the last game of last season we scored last gasp, away, against our traditional rivals, which was the first win at their place in decades, whilst also just sneaking into the play-offs at their expense, and yet we haven't mentioned it since August.

Watford score a last minute goal, against a team that's indifferent to them, which sent them to a final which they lost. Yet they still go on and on and on about it. It was on the counter attack? So what. How many goals do you see after a corner/free kick up the other end.

Watford had a great team last year, even if it was exploiting a loophole, with a decent manager. Troy Deeney scored a good goal to send you to Wembley. I don't mind stating any of this, but you stayed down, you lost the final and now you're lower than us. I'd say more than anything that goal helped us. We weren't ready, we'd just scraped 6th after a catastrophic collapse. But now we're top and your 13th, and you still go on about it as if we were your biggest rivals and it was part of your rise to the Premiership. Even if it was one of those I'd give it to you, but it's not. It generally makes your club look small time especially when you start sprouting shite that you'd prefer the goal to being top. It's quite embarrassing actually.

Exactly this!

[Kitchandro]

Got no issue with your fans going mental and invading the pitch etc. I just think a lot of your fanbase have turned into a bunch of absolute dickheads since the Pozzos turned up (well, they were probably dickheads before, it's just they found a voice as soon as Watford discovered there was a top half of the division).

 

Not only were you giving it the big'un for months before the match, but also tried to rub our noses in it after.

 

I don't care about Watford, I just wish they'd pipe down and realise we don't care about Watford.

 

It's you guys who have the issue with Leicester, if anything.

[Bayfox]

The twat singing we are going up.

The pitch invasion. Dont mind a invasion but celebrate not taunt.

The Twitter campaign abusing knocky.

The shear number of wums coming on this forum before during and after.

What more do you need.

I hope you cried at wembley and choked when knocky scored.

Going to lump on him and super kev scoring on sat as well.

that bitter enough for you

[AKCJ]

This is a genuine question by the way, not a dig or trying to take the piss, actually interested to know why.

 

Why do some Leicester fans, appear very pissed off at how we celebrated in that game? 

 

Can I ask if you would have done anything different? 

 

At home to someone at the time irrelevant... say Reading, you'd lost 1-0 to Reading at the Madejski a few days before, then in this game you take the lead, equalised, take the lead again, and then in the last minute, with it going to extra time, Gareth McCleary win's a penalty and goes to take it, you can't even watch because your season is about to end like this and Reading are about to go to Wembley.

 

Then Kasper brilliantly saves, limps to block a rebound and you clear, within 7 seconds you've counter attacked and hit the back of the net with the game well and truly done.

 

Would you not have run on the pitch at the KP when Nugent put that 97th minute winner in? Would you not have celebrated after going on (one ****ing huge) roller coaster of emotion from that to that in the space of 20 seconds? Would your match PA not have been announcing "we're going to Wembley!" in the midst of the chaos. 

 

Undoubtedly, some idiots rather than marvelling in the atmosphere probably ran straight to you guys and gave it large, that's football, they'll get it back (well they did) - I personally sprinted to Nugent to scream in his face asking the score, purely because I vividly remembered him equalising and celebrating in front of the Rookery, but then I also didn't throw my toys out the pram when Dyer and co celebrated in front of us at 1-0 this season, it's swings and roundabouts. 

 

Anyway - hopefully after Saturday (not looking hopeful I must admit, but it's football, anything could happen) we can both kick on and put this faux rivalry behind us, you're looking the real deal and will fly on home to the title, well we're now looking at mid table and trying to build for a push next season.

 

 

This is exactly why.

 

That's not celebrating the achievement of the goal, which I have no complaints with.

 

 

The idiots who did't looked to celebrate with their own players, instead tried to goad our fans and our players are the ones I have no time for. Lacked a hell of a lot of class.

[Corky]

It was heat of the moment and you celebrated wildly, no problem with that. Just that we aren't hearing the end of it, despite the fact you blew the final and sit 30 points behind us plus we've already won 3-0 at your place. The mascot thing didn't annoy me, just amusing and exactly the motivation our players needed for that day.

 

I don't hate Watford, the loans didn't really bother me last season, more the fact that a lot of your fans were preaching to us about how football should be played (as though we've never passed the ball in our history). You are another club and I doubt you'll register much after the weekend.

[Julian Joachim Jr Shabadoo]

It was not the celebration of the goal itself....but the continued celebration to this day.

 

 

I saw posts recently on your forum claiming they would rather have scored that goal, than be in our position in the league this season.

 

 

That is an example of what winds up our fans, not the fact you won, the way you won or the way you celebrated at the time. But the way you continue to go on about it, especially when the goal proved as irrelevant as all of your goals this season which have taken you to mid-table.

 

 

Tin-pot club, tin-pot reaction i suppose.

 

Bang on. If I was a Watford fan I'm sure I would have gone a bit mental in the moment, but the fact they lost the final (and played with such a gutless display), I don't think I'd have carried on like it was an important moment as it wasn't - it all boiled down to just a winner in another game

 

I fondly remember Claridge's shin, as many of us do, because it was a perfect example of a bizarre last-chance-saloon goal that no-one saw coming and propelled us into the Premier League. That meant something!

 

Back to the original question:

"Why do some Leicester fans, appear very pissed off at how we celebrated in that game?"

 

Pitch invasion is one thing, to go and scream in the faces of opposing players is without class. To bang on about it as if it was a goal that actually won anything is bizarre. To try and make a mockery of us with the mascot re-enactment and video was pathetic. To hold such a grudge against Knockaert is petty. Under the circumstances it was a big moment, but it didn't amount to anything. I don't think anyone's pissed off, but surely you can see why no-one's impressed?

 

Also, unrelated, but Deeney is a fish-faced scumbag (see his assault charges) - I'm glad we don't have anyone of his type in our squad

[gerrytaggart]

...birds suddenly appear...every time you are near.?

[KFS]

We should really give them a lot more shit for their poor behaviour and ultimately ending up in the Championship this season anyway.

They just divert criticism because of the manner in which they beat us, and the fact that they claimed "not to care" about losing the play off final. It seems like we've taken those excuses and not ripped them to fvck for being cvnts and pissing it up the wall.

Why? Because there is a lot more to our fans than the majority of theirs, who just lack class and quite frankly, brain cells.

..es it always rain on me?

[Freeman's Wharfer]

I was 'pissed off' with how your club decided to take the piss when we returned in November.

I have no gripes with Deeney for scoring, who wouldn't have loved to have that happen to their club?

But to try and rile us up, despite it getting you nowhere is silly and cost you dearly.

FYI: Reading your forum, I have to say some of your fans are audacious to say the least, bemoaning the way our players celebrated our goals at yours earlier in the season, what do you expect when your club and a large share of your fanbase acted with such classlessness? 

 

I don't have any issues with Watford because of what happened that day. It was an extraordinary moment and the Watford fans certainly didn't conduct themselves at the time in a fashion anything like Stoke did the day we went down and they went up.

 

Watford are therefore not major rivals.

 

But the way that they have treated Knockaert since leaves a somewhat sour taste. The lad did his best for his team (even if he dived) but ultimately he fvcked up the resultant penalty. He never rubbed it in your supporters' faces or celebrated outrageously when the penalty was awarded ala Savage at Pride Park. Yet because he's displayed some real emotion and a sense of caring for his club, he's had endless stick on Twitter and been abused by the Watford fans. Even when he was getting dog's abuse at Vicarage Road earlier this season and had to put up with replays on the big screen etc. he didn't rise to it.

 

The way that our players celebrated at Vicarage Road says a lot about the way that they feel about the Watford fans. It was quite clear that Chris Wood wanted to rub the first goal in Watford fans' faces by making his way over to them purposefully with his arms aloft, and the others went shy of joining in either (Dyer in particular). In general they seem quite a humble bunch (Nugent aside) but it was obvious that day that there was an element of giving back a bit of what was copped in the play-off semi-final last May.

 

The re-enactment and whole air around our last meeting certainly served to fire them up somewhat!

 

As for the Watford fans talking about 'that Deeney goal' being one of the best days in the club's history?

 

Well, that's just a bit embarassing. Essentially it got you nowhere so clinging on to it in the manner you have is a tad desperate (unless you're happy cast as nearly men?).

 

Should we win on Saturday I'll have no qualms about sticking it to the Watford lot as a bit of closure to all that's gone on. He who laughs last and all that... But you won't be long-term rivals or anything. As I put in the new chants thread, hopefully we can get a rendition of 'Who the fvck is laughing now?' in for good measure. It would be somewhat apt on behalf of Knockaert.

I also find the continued vilification of Knockaert bizarre.

 

Surely he got his just deserts (and then some) in the immediate aftermath. If he had slammed in the penalty I would understand the persistent bitterness. But he missed and ended up in tears on the pitch whilst a bunch a pissed-up chavs danced around him. 

 

They had their moment, now we're top of the league. It would seem that everybody's happy. Time to move on.

[ealingfox]

Surprised they're still trying to suggest that Knockaert dived. Stonewall penalty all day long.

[Stevie Synex]

I would of done the same but screaming in players faces.....really?.It was a harsh and stupid thing to do, also the fact that you still mention it is ridiculous.Apart from that I have no hatred for you for running on the pitch etc as you said we've had done the same.....

 

Agreed - screaming in someone's face would amount to abuse in the workplace anywhere else in the country.

 

Sorry but the fact the OP had to mention the incident in an otherwise reasonable article and for that matter even writing the article suggests to me the guy is a sycophant

[Bayfox]

Gold finger seems decent.......

Looking at our squad they are suprised where we are.

What with the best keeper in the division. Name a better rb or cb along with the best young cb as well.

Have they seen james and dd play? King on the bench.

Knocky, dyer, nuge, vardy. Please I'd swap none of that front 4.

Wood cant get a game ffs.

Are we a team of pub players?????

[Carl the Llama]

Watford? Hmmm... let me check...

[RookeryHorn]

Going to try to reply to all points..

 

Got nothing against Watford personally, there's no rivalry of any kind imo, the only thing that gets on my nerves is how certain fans still bang on about the goal because you didn't go on to win promotion.

 

It's because we've done absolutely nothing of note since, and hadn't done anything of note for a quick a while before that, it's still fresh in the mind and it was a moment of absolute euphoria that many won't have topped.

 

I'm not pissed off at the way you celebrated, I'll admit I was ready to invade your pitch with hundreds of other Leicester fans and dance about in front of you all however Knockaert missed - Hey ho, congratulations. What I am pissed off with though is the fact your fans cant drop the Knockaert thing and you're obsessed with him majorly seriously move on we have.

 

The fact that he dived to win the pen annoyed a lot of fans, the fact that he fudged the pen up and it was your own downfall is agreed, enough comeuppance but some fans won't leave it. Booing him and jeering him at the game this season was just asking for what we got, and I have no problems with that. You give it, you get it, and vica versa.

 

Got nothing with how you celebrated, just the way the majority of your fans can't stop obsessing with us...

 

With respect, I'd say it's the same from both sets of fans, maybe not on here but on Twitter you still see a lot of Leicester fans jibing in every weekend, in the same way that our fans still go on about it. I'm asking more because we're playing this weekend, and I noticed somewhere about someone wanting to stuff us at home and then invade the pitch to celebrate in front of us, so made me think. 

 

Another genuine question here, score that goal and be placed 13th or be top of the championship?

 

Top of the Championship. 

 

Our PA wouldn't have been starting songs like yours would've, nor would our mascot have recreated "that" goal the season after.

There's never ever been a pitch invasion at the King Power. For some reason it either never happens and the club are actually pretty decent at putting stops into practice.

Can handle the pitch invasion and fans trying to goad us and the players but you'd expect a bit more class from a Public Address.

 

Our PA irritated a lot of people at the club that day, and has since had his working hours reduced - I imagine they're trying to shoe horn him out. He's a Watford fan and that got the better of him in a moment when he was supposed to keep up a level of professionalism

 

I would of done the same but screaming in players faces.....really?.It was a harsh and stupid thing to do, also the fact that you still mention it is ridiculous.Apart from that I have no hatred for you for running on the pitch etc as you said we've had done the same.....

 

It was a mad moment, I've always hated Nugent playing against us because he's always scored and always rubs our fans faces in it, this time I had the chance to give some stick back - hindsight, probably not the best decision and when he just stared at me with no reply I ****ed off to dance with someone, I think it was Chalobah.. can't remember. You may not remember it, but I DO remember a minority of some Watford fans who managed to get that far across the pitch offering condolences to Mr Knockaert. 

 

I am genuinely quite confident that we wouldn't have had a pitch invasion for winning a semi-final.

 

Wasn't as simple as that though, that's my point!

 

It was the best moment in their club's history though. Bit different.

 

Sounds tinpot, but it was, really. Definitely since the 2006 playoff final, and a lot of our younger fans won't remember that, let alone the 99 playoff final, we've not had much else to shout about, we've basically been propping the league up/trying not to be relegated since 2007.

 

After such am amazing end to a playoff epic the next time we meet what happens ? You play the smart arse and insult us with a childish reenactment by your mascot and now your back with such a load of crap. Your clubs plan is in tatters HA ****ING HA

 

Mascot was an idiot, as was playing the video on the screen - we were asking for it.

 

You are a mediocre mid table side full of foreigners. You are a nothing club in every sense of the term.

Enjoy watching 'that goal' over and over again while we enjoy the premier league won't you?

Twat

 

Child. 

[RookeryHorn]

As if I've seen some Watford fans saying they'd take that Deeney moment over being in our position this season. Complete bollocks.

 

Yes - completely bollocks, they're saying it in some sort of self denial/self comfort because we did have that moment and we are where we are.

I keep seeing different fans say this. Tell me, how many times has it happened in our recent history? Once.

 

"He who laughs last, laughs longest" is a good description of how we should be feeling. "Always look on the bright side of life", eh Watford?

[Vardinhio]

It seems like this is all that keeps Watford fans going these days. If you ran on the pitch and celebrated in LCFC players' faces then you should be ashamed. I can imagine it was a great moment for your club but thankfully KP popped up and stopped the Udinese/Granada train from growing to the premier league. The fact this happened does make you look a bit silly and I think most of your fans were extremely complacent about beating Palace in the final too.

 

Unfortunately for you guys the second batch of players you have managed to acquire is nowhere near as good and without Vydra you look incredibly average. We on the otherhand are a team that has grown together . Of course it was nice to get one over you this season and Knockaert must have absolutely loved scoring against you, thus banashing that moment and going on to far greater things (hopefully) than a playoff semi.
