Silverdaz Posted 22 March 2015 Posted 22 March 2015 Some people actually on Bentleys roof are hoping we get thrashed soon so the owners have no choice, that's pathetic and they call themselves fans its just sad but then again what do you expect from a forum that they regularly call NP Coco or Pighead and I thought they were adults. Rant over
Webbo Posted 22 March 2015 Posted 22 March 2015 Pigs grunt, cows moo and Bentley's roof moan about Pearson. Who cares?
inckley fox Posted 22 March 2015 Posted 22 March 2015 First and foremost, a lot of people on that forum have always been very anti-Pearson. I remember one or two of their regulars coming on this forum some years back with the sole purpose of winding up anyone who had any respect for the manager, then quickly scuttling back to Bentley's to crow about it. I remember thinking how empty and desperate your existence must be to elicit pleasure from doing something like that. Of course not all of them are like that, not at all, just as not all of us are like Cuddly Ken. However, as for people wanting us to lose a single game heavily, I'm not sure it's so ridiculous an idea. We had this discussion a few years ago about Konchesky getting injured, and people saying that if it meant Schlupp playing more it might actually be better for the team, even though it's obviously wrong to want your players to be injured. But if it obliges the club to make a change for the better, it can work out well. Much like Walsh getting sent off and stripped of the captaincy in 92-93 led to him being played up front and turning our season around, or Marshall, Collymore getting injured in 2000 led to Eliott going up front and scoring a lot of important goals. The same logic will apply to results - none of us want to lose, but if a 0-5 as opposed to a 1-2 leads to a change which - in your opinion - will be much better for us in weeks, months, years to come, then that's fair enough. I'm not saying I personally go along with this. If we're 5-0 down I want us to at least make it respectable, but I can understand why people might see the deferred gratification in a thrashing remaining a thrashing.
inckley fox Posted 22 March 2015 Posted 22 March 2015 I'd like to apologise for using the words 'gratification' and 'thrashing' in the same sentence. I didn't know that was possible outside of erotic fiction.

Corky Posted 22 March 2015 Posted 22 March 2015 Never understood the desire to want to lose a game to change manager. What if the next manager loses his first three games? We've just lost four in a row and no progress has been made. Having sat through so few victories I'd like to go home pleased with a win and hopefully a much better performance. What happens after that, happens. The manager could still go the week after. But wanting to lose a match? Never.
LilMissFox Posted 22 March 2015 Posted 22 March 2015 That's apparently how it is on there. I've been told I'm "famous" in that forum and should check it out, I haven't bothered though. Don't understand how fans can hate Pearson so much. One in particular wanted him out last season as well. Baffled.
Monsell1976 Posted 22 March 2015 Posted 22 March 2015 I think I have been getting a bit of a hard press on here, as I am vocal at my attitude to pearson since Christmas, but I would never want to get thrashed, just to get rid of pearson. Believe it or not just because I don't rate pearson and think he's done a shocking job this season, wanting to get thrashed, defeats the point. I would love pearson to be successful, even in the last few games, I don't think he will, but I would never want to be thrashed, as I support city.
shailen Posted 22 March 2015 Posted 22 March 2015 The logic of some fans really does get to me. You would hope that fans would want to see a great escape rather than us to get thrashed. Do some fans not want us to win or let their personal opinions and egos get into the way of what is most important. The next three points
Westerby Posted 22 March 2015 Posted 22 March 2015 Some of them seem to hope Christmas may get in the way of the next three points !
Matt Posted 22 March 2015 Posted 22 March 2015 I think I have been getting a bit of a hard press on here, as I am vocal at my attitude to pearson since Christmas, but I would never want to get thrashed, just to get rid of pearson.

This is it, I understand where your coming from as I regularly call players for mistakes (Consistant mistakes may I add, I said the other week I embrace mistakes as you should learn from them, the point is they're not learning from them), not playing well, e.t.c, I am currently somewhere in the middle of the Pearson In/Out debate although I am shifting more towards out. But just because I call players or slag Pearson off as I am currently I don't want us to be thrashed, I don't want us to lose, I am slagging the players and Pearson off for a reason...things aren't going well, mistakes, blatent, stupid mistakes are being made, decisions are being made to late, e.t.c, I would enjoy nothing more than being proved wrong. The fact of the matter is though i'm not gonna sit there and make excuses.
Fox92 Posted 22 March 2015 Posted 22 March 2015 If they want their club to lose I would question their definition of a 'fan'/'supporter'.
inckley fox Posted 22 March 2015 Posted 22 March 2015 I suppose the logic, as some see it, is that if we'd been hammered 5-0 in the penultimate game of the 2000-01 season, instead of winning and then losing the first game of the next season 5-0, then Taylor would probably have been fired. The following season would have been different. And, in retrospect, if we'd been hammered just once back in November we may well have brought Pulis, or Sherwood, or whoever in, and done considerably better than we have. If the hypothetical is - would you prefer to lose 5-0 next week and the club makes a change which turns out to be for the better, or lose narrowly and not make the change? - then of course I'd take the 5-0 defeat. Unfortunately I don't have the crystal ball, I can't know for sure what the best thing for Leicester is in the long run. Have there been occasions when an injury or a heavy loss has worked in a club's favour? Of course, loads. But we can only go on what actually happens (who knows, maybe O'Neill would have got us relegated in 2001/2, maybe Taylor would have turned things around - you can never be certain). As such I prefer to see the club do as well as possible on a game-by-game basis. But if you're confident enough in your understanding of the game to believe that it's best to get hammered in one match so that we can make a positive change before the next, or better to get relegated under Pearson than to stay up with someone else purely because Pearson will eventually lead the club to greater glories than simply staying up, then it might seem a bit far-fetched to me, but I understand the logic.
iancognito Posted 22 March 2015 Posted 22 March 2015 There's people on here that have wanted us to lose, from the people who predict it in pre-match threads and add "hopefully" on the end through to the numbskulls in the match threads who take massive delight in seeing us concede and then go quiet when we equalise/go ahead. It's pitiful. It's like saying "I want us to win but only with a manager that I like" As for Bentley's Roof, I went there about 3 years ago and couldn't hear myself think with the sound of knuckles dragging on the floor. They have everything from oddballs to manic depressives and barely a shred of optimism in the place.
Freeman's Wharfer Posted 22 March 2015 Posted 22 March 2015 You only have to read that forum for 5 minutes to get an insight into the intellectual capabilities of a large number of posters on there. I wouldn't expect a large proportion of such individuals to be able to eloquently express their stance or to have the ability to think rationally about such matters. I tend to have found with the Pearson In/Out stuff there seems to be a correlation between those who want him to stay and how that is coherently justified (regardless of whether it is right or wrong).
chicagofox Posted 23 March 2015 Posted 23 March 2015 I would much rather have lost 6-0 yesterday than 4-3. After yesterday's game certain people can still spew out the BS they have been all season on how we were unlucky, it was the refs fault, the players are playing for Pearson etc etc etc. Had we lost 6-0 then maybe (although I have my doubts as they have been as incompetent as anyone this season) the owners would have been forced to sack Pearson out of embarrassment. And I can assure you that I am as much of a City fan and supporter as anyone else.

Guest Posted 23 March 2015 Posted 23 March 2015 Some top blokes on there who have supported Leicester for many years (before most on here were born let's face it) and they have just as much right to an opinion as anyone on here. Not everyone subscribes to a brand of happy clap of modern football supporting where you aren't allowed to utter a negative word because all you have been fed is shite post 2004 - eternally grateful to the beloved leader (who is taking the club right back to where it came from incidentally, with a whimper). Some of the classy things they have done on the roof over the years is beyond comprehension of most on here. The Yifter tribute (everton fan who died attending a game in our last top flight appearance just one such example). Moaning isn't a crime.
Swiss_tony Posted 23 March 2015 Posted 23 March 2015 I would suggest if you don't like what's posted on Bentleys roof then don't go there. Infighting about who is a 'genuine' supporter and who isn't is a bit childish. Not rocket science is it.
st albans fox Posted 23 March 2015 Posted 23 March 2015 Once we are definitely down, you will either see a few wins or a heavy defeat. The slightest chance we have of staying up is likely related to our GD being worth an extra point (yes I know it doesn't look that way at the moment but if we are to catch up three wins against three defeats for the others then it will look different). So a heavy defeat at the moment just takes away the slightest chance we have of getting out of this.
Collibosher70 Posted 23 March 2015 Posted 23 March 2015 Bentleys roof full of cvnts...I beg to differ

Most of us were happy with the bollocks everyone shown from a nightmare start. I have been there when I wanted Sousa out but no way did I want to watch us lose 6-1 at Portsmouth.
Mike Oxlong Posted 23 March 2015 Posted 23 March 2015 Bentleys roof full of cvnts...I beg to differ Maybe so Colly but you will know that it's got more than its fair share of piss stained pants and dementia. It's a bit like a shit junk shop.If you can sift through the detritus there's some good stuff to be found.

Yes I agree but it's full of the older generation of city fans as opposed to the younger rusk eating ones on here but I have my own opinions on things..so I take a lot of things on there and here with a pinch of salt
Stadt Posted 23 March 2015 Posted 23 March 2015 I've never looked at bentley's but I'd imagine it'd be full of the semi-literate knuckle draggers that just get angry about everything.
