Matt Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 It's frustration, that's all. They come out and say "oh we need the fans behind us". Sorry but we've always been behind them. Our support both home and away in terms of numbers has been good yet again this season. It's a bit of give and take because we need to see something back too, something that justifies paying and turning up for these games. The Birch wound me up before the game yesterday telling us all the BS of the players know how much support your give, but come on let's get behind them again, it's your city, your club, e.t.c. Soundbytes, that's all it is.
cc_star Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Atmosphere can either be conducive to supporting players in what they're trying to do, or it can hinder it. The way our atmosphere often is it makes players want to get rid of the ball & not seek out space to receive the ball, and makes snatched chances more likely. Some of our fans only seem interested in support if there's a once in a generation collapse like Utd did. The atmosphere at the Burnley game seemed to make their equaliser inevitable... Sure, the natives are getting restless after a poor season, but there's a reason our away performances are better than at home

No James' idiocy and Schmeichel leaving half the goal empty almost pointing telling the Burnley player where to put it did that, do not ever dare pin that on the fans.
cc_star Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 No James' idiocy did that, do not ever dare pin that on the fans. He certainly did that moment... But we were practically suckling the ball into our own net for 45mins
ithuriel Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Nothing poisonous yesterday at all though there were some loud boo's at the end of the game but that can hardly be faulted considering.
6ups 6downs 2 cups Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 I can see it becoming nasty if we lose our next couple of home games, simply because we know relegation is pretty much certain, up until now most of us have just been hoping against hope we could turn it around. Unfortunately yesterday showed we probably can't. it's just crushing disappointment at the moment, a wasted season, we've missed a great opportunity to stay up this year for whatever reason, but that's for another day.
paulsherwood1 Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 It's hardly surprising as we are rock bottom! What do you expect? Appalling home form, lack of goals. Do you think it's going to be like a party? It doesn't mean the fans aren't supporting the team, it's just natural.
Brizzle Fox Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 I'm surprised it's took this long to boo, the season has been a joke, and pearsons attitude, and antic's, and the players looking lost and dis jointed, I'm think it's only going to get worse. Pearson has lost the plot, and devoid of any idea of how to win a game, so the natives are getting restless, and it's only going to get worse. This. I'm surprised that our notoriously fickle home support have been so patient. If we'd been a bit more "poisonous" earlier then we might have got rid of this idiot a while ago.
LJS Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 The atmosphere in the ground has turned. Poisonous it isn't, but there is now a general feeling that Pearson being sacked would be a relief, and this season being over wwill be an even bigger one. The supporters have been remarkably patient. I never heard a negative word about the manager until Villa away when, frankly he deserved worse than he got. It isn't even about the losing.The negative approach to games we can (and badly need to) win has been nothing short of a disgrace.
JAPANFOX1 Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Try using the analogy of a true "patriot". A true patriot has a moral duty to challenge those in authority when they are leading the people astray. To love one's country comes with the responsibility to point out to those with power when things are not going to plan. For example, Obama is not America - the people are. Nigel is not Leicester - the fans are. If we think things must be changed, considering the best interests of the club, it is out duty to let the club know. Whether this be booing, shouting, screaming, protesting it does not matter. Supporting the club and the players when things are not working is to neglect our duty as fans and to be complicit in the clubs downfall. Only idiots and fools would continue to support this manager and players - they have given us nothing but problems this season and they need to be made aware of our frustrations. Love Leicester, not the people who temporarily represent us for a healthy wad of $$$$$$$$$$.
johnny the fox Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Is anyone really surprised that our players are struggling to flourish when the atmosphere is so poisonous atmosphere at home? From the 5th minute every misplaced pass, poor touch or backwards pass was groaned upon. No wonder the players aren't willing to take risks and express themselves when the crowd get on their backs for the entirety of the game. Of course I'm not saying that's the reason for our impending relegation, because we just haven't been good enough in both penalty boxes but as fans we need to stick with the team for these last 10 games and see where that takes us. Whatever hour view on the manager just get behind the players and give them a chance. If we end up going down most of you will probably get your wish and Pearson gone so just get behind the team. your right, its all the fans fault.. nothing to do with the over paid pro's.. even sky said how good the fans backing was,.
Ashley Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 L Block were shit yesterday the kop SK1 corner were good could hear them on he other side of the ground

Yesterday hearing the sk1 lot sing "sing your hearts out for the lads" I just thought how about the players play their hearts out for the fans for a change?
Moonstomp Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Yesterday hearing the sk1 lot sing "sing your hearts out for the lads" I just thought how about the players play their hearts out for the fans for a change? Maybe we should start tha as a song!
Thrill Bert Fox Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Was poisonous where I sit as I reacted to Mahrez rolling over 15 times when he was no even touched. Had a lo of people have a go but I just hope they all watched it back and will opologise next home game but I'm not holding my breath. Hate to see cheating like that Completly agree and it's not the first time - and I had the same reaction to me from the surrounding fans. Is he really the type of player we want in a relegation dog fight - which by all accounts is over for us before it's even started.
Craig Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Pushing for a goal in the last five minutes and there was quite a few proudly singing 'you're getting sacked in the morning' in 'the kop'. Not sure that was ideal.
cjslcfc Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Can somebody please explain to me the correlation between how much you are paid and how much something affects you? It's hard to hold back human nature, especially on a football pitch where emotion is at its highest, no matter how much you are paid. Do you think every footballer goes out thinking "Oh I'm paid £20k a week so it definitely doesn't piss me off when 30,000 people get on my back for misplacing a pass".
MooseBreath Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 On the stream I watched yesterday the commentators couldn't say enough about how good our support was. Pearson loved hearing the boos at the end, with a big grin like he was actually revelling in it. He'll probably use it to stir up some 'us against them' mentality in the players, which will probably be at least as effective as anything else he's done this season, so boo away imo.
I blame Wellens Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 What a load of absolute crap. Patient, does not even describe how the vast majority have been this season. Just maybe if it had have became poisonous things may not be as they are now. I think our fans deserve a lot of credit for putting up with the Pearson drivel and the inept performances. I just want this whole nightmare season to be over and the ignorant prat of a manager gone
Guest MattP Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 I thought the ground was like a morgue yesterday. I got bored in the second half, when football is shit it's really shit.
Guest Col city fan Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 I thought the ground was like a morgue yesterday. I got bored in the second half, when football is shit it's really shit. As far as I recollect, you suggested Pearson should stay, essentially forever? If you were bored in the second half yesterday, you must have been REALLY bored in the first half? I found myself going on my mobile phone, looking at Bet 365, on more than one occassion.

Do you think every footballer goes out thinking "Oh I'm paid £20k a week so it definitely doesn't piss me off when 30,000 people get on my back for misplacing a pass". Try this - same logic different argument. You work in a shitty factory job for minimum wage. You are suggesting that the following two men have the same attitude towards their job. 1) Single male with no responsibilities beyond the self. 2) A married male supporting a wife and 6 kids. Obviously, the more financial security a person has the more potential there is of them being complacent toward their work (unless of course they are truly doing the job that they love just for its intrinsic value). Money, like sex, is a prime motivator in human behaviour. Why else do you think that players are constantly chasing new improved deals? Why else would there be such a thing as a win bonus? Money matters and as I see it our manager and our players are not earning theirs. The bigger question for me is how players who are on 300,000GBP per WEEK cannot feel guilty and ashamed given that so many people, including fans, struggle just to put food on the table. Modern football is a sad reflection of celebrity culture and how school dropouts are able to become idols simply because they can kick a ball about.
Sol thewall Bamba Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Bottom line, there is a horrible atmosphere around the place because too many people couldn't care less about making a decent one.

Thinking someone is the best man for the job if we go down isn't exactly the same as believing someone should be here forever.
hejammy Posted 15 March 2015 Posted 15 March 2015 Thinking someone is the best man for the job if we go down isn't exactly the same as believing someone should be here forever. Why keep him for one year to get us promoted and get back to a position where we are this season? Clearly he isn't capable of managing in the Premier League. Rebuild for the next 2 years and beyond, not just for next year.
