.. The fans say...(04/03/03) |
|
|
You've
seen what FFS has to say, what about the other fans? First
reactions can often be pretty emotional. Here's the first
mail we had about it...
If these players are guilty as charged, they have to be
shown the door instantly. I'd rather support a bunch of
youth players in Div 3 then show any allegiance to players
who have yet again dragged the good name of Leicester
into the gutter, and made the club a laughing stock around
the world. These players have to realise that, whilst
they are here today and gone tomorrow, we the supporters
are Leicester fans forever. How can I expect my son to
support such a bunch of crass idiots? Twas only last saturday
we were on our feet at Walkers, enjoying for the first
time seeing the lads in the new stadium. Right now, I'm
not bothered if I ever see them again. I know we dont
condone booing our players, but if the charges are proven,
and any of these clowns ever play for the club again,
I reckon thats what we should do. |
Here's
some comments from the Fox
message board from today...
"IF
it is true, then all 8 should be...SACKED!
This
is a disgrace IF and I repeat, IF it is true. Can't
these overpaid idiots control themselves for more than
10 hours?. It apparently happened the evening they arrived.
If
it is true and all culprits are not sacked, I shall
return my season ticket. I cannot accept that a single
penny of my honesly earnt money goes to these pr1cks!
I
am by the way a Leicester fan of some 30 years standing.
I
take my 13 yo son to matches, what sort of example does
this set?"

"I
think a lot of people will be taking an interest in
what the club does should the players be charged and
convicted - especially now the Dennis Wise case is back
in the news.
I
really thought a lot of our players would be better
than this. Of all the dismal stories that have attached
themselves to the club in recent years, this is by far
the worst.
I
cringed even when I heard about the Newcastle allegations
earlier in the season because I hated to see the good
name of our sport dragged through the mud again. For
it to happen again so soon afterwards and for it to
involve my club is simply intolerable.
I
think I speak for every single Leicester fan when I
say that, should these players by charged, I will have
grave difficulty cheering them on between now and the
end of the season.
We
Leicester fans have been put through an awful lot over
the years, but this time they have stretched our faith
to breaking point."

"It
gets worse the more it sinks in. This is being beamed
all around the world. The sight of Matty Elliot handcuffed
and lead into a van, left me feeling gutted." |
|
"If
it is true (and like someone said earlier I cant see
there being smoke without fire) I feel cheated that
I have cheered these players on for the past years.
Its
not the first time the players have let us down this
season...
I
am so tempted not to bother renewing my season ticket.
Not just because of this but this and everything else
put together. It doesnt feel like my club any more.
So many different players who I cant relate to. At the
moment it just feels like even more of a a curse than
normal supporting this team now."

"It
sure don't look good, and it might be a classic case
of wishful thinking on my part but can anyone REALLY
see Matt Elliot, Paul Dickov and Jamie Scowcroft standing
witness to a serious assault without lifting a finger
to assist the victims, let alone indulging in the activities
themselves?
We
should cast our minds back to last year when Mattie's
sense of injustice overtook him so vehemently that the
odious shitebag had to barricade himself in his room
to escape the big fellas wrath. And that attack was
on a team mate who was (perhaps not at the time) perfectly
capable of looking after himself.
No
smoke etc etc, but we haven't heard any more of the
alledged assault by Newcastle players have we? And that,
reportedly, was a more serious affair than we are led
to believe happened in Spain.
I don't wish that this should be construed as defence
of any of our players eventually proven to have committed
such beastly acts. I merely wish to add a sense of perspective
to what has been a rather hysterical day, and ask that
until we are aquainted with the full facts we take a
considered view of reported events and the admittedly
dramatic footage from Sky."

"Still
can't get my head around this one - how can they have
gotten themselves into this situation. Keep the Faith?
You gotta be joking after this one Mickey! Whoever is
proven to be involved (in any way) should NEVER turn out
in the blue shirt again, whoever they are." |
