An Sionnach Posted 25 May 2023 Share Posted 25 May 2023 1 minute ago, Scotch said: So you're not annoyed about people being angry and despondent about our current predicament. You're annoyed that people are actually vocal about it instead of sitting there politely patting their sh!tty plastic clapper against their hand with a wry smile as they watch us potentially slip down the leagues? How ridiculous that you act so superior to those actually making their voices heard. I'm sure the board will love fans like you who lie back and think of England as they run us into the ground. I understand the anger , it is indeed a shitshow , but I am not despondent because the damage can be repaired . We , as supporters can scream and shout and protest , but will the club listen? Now if some of the heavyweights in the media start piling in , then the club will have to listen. First among these should be Lineker and Dublin. They know the truth and should have the courage to say it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, they might not listen but they sure as hell won't listen if there is nothing to listen to because you're grumbling quietly into your cucumber sandwich. If you want the media to pay attention and make the noise for you then you need to give them something to pay attention to. They're not gonna drag coverage away from the top six unless it's actually something worth doing it for and sitting back quietly as little old Leicester fade back into obscurity isn't going to cut it. As for the damage being repaired, ask Wigan, Portsmouth, Stoke or Sunderland about that. Edited 25 May 2023 by Scotch 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Home to Bournemouth who are safe, what can possibly go wrong? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also hope there is no jeopardy about Sunday and us or Everton wins while the other loses. Don't want the same result scenario and what ifs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want the same result scenario and what ifs. I just hope one of us wins and the other doesn't, if that happens and Everton stay up I won't be too upset or angry. Just hope that they don't win and neither do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the old saying , life's a bitch and then you die. 😉 Ah yes of course. When you’ve supported a club for over 70 years you have a calm and clear perspective that people who have supported the club for 60 years for example, just don’t have. Don’t even get me started on fans who have only supported the club for 50 years - they don’t even know they’re born they’ve had it so easy. Back in your day you used to have to turn up to Filbert Street at 4 in the morning to get entry for 3pm kick off. They used boat oars as turnstiles so you used to get knocked unconscious when you handed your ticket in. Players used to kick a ball made out of ham and the weather was so cold that sometimes fans died of hyperthermia. When they did they were thrown into a massive burial pit dug out on raw dykes road which also doubled up as a children’s home 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stadium crowd failed to stand up and be heard, once again looking for someone else to do the dirty work. Top would have been forced to listen had we turned up the heat due to what we were being served up. WE have become passive watchers and that has played a big part in Rodgers being retained longer than he should be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People shouldn't be miserable, they should be annoyed and want to hold those in charge to account. The people that have been put in charge of running the club have failed dramatically. To chalk it up to "oh, it's just Leicester ain't it" is ridiculous and frankly really dumb, in my opinion. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
