Popular Post Sambiasso Posted 16 March 2022 Popular Post Share Posted 16 March 2022 They weren't Rennes 'Fans', just like it wasn't Leicester 'Fans' who decided to smash up pubs in Nottingham. A few wrong uns shouldn't tarnish a whole clubs fan base. Real Rennes supporters last week were good as gold. 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whoareyaaa Posted 17 March 2022 Share Posted 17 March 2022 Hate these early kick off times was looking forward to it as well Didn't really fancy this competition much but I think we should be going all out to win it now. Will be a tough game no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FoxesWalk Posted 17 March 2022 Share Posted 17 March 2022 Nervous about this, hopefully we can avoid our tendency of conceding early, else it will be an extremely nervy evening. If they score first I fear for us… Still, rather be in our position than theirs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frakenfox Posted 17 March 2022 Share Posted 17 March 2022 Some comments here have me concerned (about stuff ON the pitch) I do hope BR is not going to get all 'rotation' with our defensive formation. Dan's been seen in training photos, so I'm guessing he's starting. Mention of no Cags nor Veste (never mind eh?) but Evans is there. So are we to assume an Amartey/Evans paring with Fofana on the bench with Nelson? Perso, I'd have kept it boring and stayed with the developing Cags and Dan double act. Aside which, Rennes are a bit pacey and Evans isn't. Cags, for all his bomb-scariness, can get back. I think this game matters and I'd rather not be risking Evans' come back only lasting a half hour before having to patch things up.... though I guess we do have 5 subs.... OK, maybe not so bad. Maybe BR likes to keep 'em guessing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I really dont think the most appropriate way to reflect on the trouble those arseholes caused is to excuse them by saying that arseholes in Leicester did a bad thing first. Far better to just admit that both teams have their bad elements that dont really need any encouragement from others to act out.

Johnny is only just back in training - I would hope he won’t be risked as a starter until after the int break. infact, given that cags pulled his hammy in added time trying to maintain a clean sheet in December, perhaps just let him build his fitness for a couple weeks …… if he played any part tonight then surely n Ireland will draft him in and probably break him! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alf Bentley Posted 17 March 2022 Share Posted 17 March 2022 Excuse my ignorance of Pay TV, but is there a good chance that some Leicester pubs will be showing this? I see that it's on BT ESPN but I've no idea if pubs that show football usually have that channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps something is being lost in translation and perhaps it is not. However, you seem to be implying that the actions of the Rennes fans would not have occurred had there not been some trouble within the Leicester game, which I'm not doubting you experienced (though hopefully it wasnt to the degree of glasses being thrown at your head like those Twitter posts show) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roazhon Posted 17 March 2022 Share Posted 17 March 2022 These incidents surprise me, when did they take place, how many were the troublemakers? Other details? I have not read or seen anywhere that such abuses have taken place. If so, it's very surprising from Rennes supporters, whether they are French bastards or not 😉, with the French accent of John Cleese in The Holy Grail, which is an aggravating circumstance! 🤪 Well, everything should be fine tonight (I'm not talking about the result...) 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine drawing someone like Partizan Belgrade and their fans 😳 (unlikely now as they are 5-2 down from the first leg). They are the only set of fans I know of who have to be segregated from each other (away in the Belgrade Derby) !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NasPb Posted 17 March 2022 Share Posted 17 March 2022 Can't blame a whole fan base for a section of their fan base which is full of idiots.

Our defensive frailties, lone striker and Rodgers’ default caution, defensive approach and lack of trust in certain players will play out under the pressure of Rennes crowd. There are rumours Soyuncu hasn't travelled, so Fofana may start... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
