RandolphGB Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Why slap off about Liverpool u muppet what have they got to do with this article?? It concerns the Sun lying about football and fans and the Liverpool incident was the biggest and worst example, perhaps you are too young to remember it? The Sun's Hilsborough coverage came from the police and the local papers and press agencies in Sheffield. They were duped by a police cover up, just like many people were. The Police never told the sun fans stole from the dead, the sun just made that up No, they didn't.... I refer you to evidence from the inquest: http://hillsborough.independent.gov.uk/repository/NGN000000010001.html http://www.theguardian.com/media/2012/sep/12/hillsborough-news-agency-reported-faithfully-sun Perhaps YOU should get the facts right before criticising the Sun and bringing up Hillsborough in a totally unrelated story.

Caveat Emptor Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 As the season neared the end the BBC regularly showed footage of live coverage of LCFC's games at King Power HQ complete with adoring fans all suitably dressed in LC shirts etc. When the title was won the BBC's Jonathan Head reported the BBC couldn't find any LC shirts in Thailand as they were all sold out but were they, how many were actually on sale as King Power seems to have had more than enough to distribute to their employees heavily disguised as loyal fans.

No the ones given out were different, not the normal replica kit ones but 'champions' ones just done, I never got one and neither did any other foreigners as far as I saw. Replica kit ones are still not available. eg That was the media one, there was a better one for 'special people' and this was the one for the fans and plebs, still never got one of these either Edited May 23, 2016 by thai3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thai3 Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 (edited) Yes a bit of a strange atmosphere I thought as somebody who first went to see them play in 1964, the foreigners seemed a bit surplus to requirements the best one for special groups, obviously no chance of one of these! you probably had to have been a fan since January Edited May 23, 2016 by thai3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sungod Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 FOOTBALL So bloody boring! Sissy Boys play footie whilst Real Men play Rugby! Exactly, in football they are always playing the ball BACKWARDS where as in Rugby the ball and the game is always moving FORWARDS and sissy footballers are always collapsing in a show of pain when Rugby players continue with fractured eye sockets and even broken legs ! So forward passes are legal now? I used to like playing rugby at school, running around the field chasing your mates and trying to pull each others shorts down....... Catch me if you can! Pulling guys shorts down... Then running away, yelling catch me if you can? Sounds kind of gay... That's not rugby... Sounds like butt dart and you enjoyed being the target..

cyberfarang Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 This is nothing new. Back in the old days organisers of pop concerts and TV shows used to hire screamers. These were a few girls paid to start off screaming knowing that all the other girls in the audiences would follow suit and so all was put into motion.

As a football and general sporting fan, I am very suspicious of any athlete whom suddenly improves his fitness/conditioning by a considerable level. Even more so , when the athlete gains considerable pace/stamina as he/she ages. In a Premier league season that has seen very poor performances from City, United, Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool it still is a total shock that Leicester City finished above them all and by a considerable points margin. Also there injuries, or to be more accurate , lack of injuries was simply amazing. Especially considering they had a very limited/delayed pre season.

DDbkh Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 Well a good combination, a fake football team (nobody really thinks that any of the players come from Leicester) and a fake rent a mob posing as fans, now we need to get the fake PM to welcome them to Bangkok and everything is perfect!

Also there injuries, or to be more accurate , lack of injuries was simply amazing. Especially considering they had a very limited/delayed pre season. so you are accusing Vardy of suddenly getting a lot better due to drug cheating, you should look at his record before coming out with nonsense to see if it fits, it does not. He was always good, always fast and has always scored goals After joining Northern Premier League side F.C. Halifax Town in 2010. Scoring 26 goals in his debut season, he won the club's "Player's Player of the Year" award, then moved to Conference Premier side Fleetwood Town in August 2011 for an undisclosed fee. He scored 31 league goals in his first season at his new team, winning the team's "Player of the Year" award as they won the division. In May 2012, Vardy signed for Leicester City in the Football League Championship for a non-League record transfer fee of £1 million, and helped the team win the Championship in 2014. In the 2015–16 Premier League season, he scored in eleven consecutive Premier League matches, breaking Ruud van Nistelrooy's record, and was voted the Premier League Player of the Season and FWA Footballer of the Year as outsiders Leicester won the title. He made his international debut in June 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and what Leicester City does is not sports. They are entertainment business and part of the business is to show support in order to get more money. Nothing wrong except people who actually think it is about sport, no it is about the entertainment business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozyjon Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 The Red Shirts were paid to leave the farm and busloads of them taken to Bangkok. In the US, it was disclosed that military personnel who (voluntarily) paraded before major sporting events were paid. In Australia, children are allowed into major sporting events for free, adults can enter some events free after first half, free tickets to football matches given out to schools and at the clubs days before the game,, pilot TV shows pay people to be guest during taping of the shows, rent a crowd are big business around the world. Without some incentive no one would bother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baerboxer Posted May 23, 2016 Share Posted May 23, 2016 No way, I refuse to believe this as things like that would never happen here. This major issue deserves, and will probably get, the full attention of the PM as nothing can be more important than defending the national honour in the face of more ridiculous nonsense from foreigners who just don't understand Thainess. Be fair, it's the Sun, That renowned piece of Murdoch crap that claims it's a newspaper. If someone tells them any old cobblers they'll print it if they think it'll sell papers. If no one tells them ought they'll makes something up. Let's see, Queen favors Brexit - then do a Johnny Depp on the "apology" only in writing; People paid to pose as City fans; what next - get the tits back on page 3? Not even decent enough quality to wrap your fish and chips in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
