Protests and retribution.

Tue Aug 07, 2012 10:52 am

I am writing in disbelief of some of the things I have read on here and heard with my own ears at the KCB meeting.

Could someone please tell me how some people holding up balloons or a banner, in any way could disrupt the players?
For me the only way they could be disrupted is, if the IDOITS start dishing out what they have promised on this very board and at the meeting with violence towards the protestors.

Our Players have continued to play football for our club over the years, while all sorts have gone on in the stands (mainly by the types of people who are promising the violence).

Our Players have continued to play football for our club over the years, while our own fans sing songs against them (All the anti English songs, when half the team was English).

Our Players have continued to play football for our club over the years, while away at hostile grounds while being personally abused from the stands.

For me, certain people do have an agenda. And if they don't like what is being said they revert to neanderthalic tendencies.
Unfortunately this includes some of our more high profile supporters.

Peaceful protests will not cause any harm to the playing team either in or outside the stadium.

KCB said they'd keep all forms of protesting out of the ground

Negativity WILL affect players on the pitch. Just look at Ewood Park towards the end of last season, you can't honestly say you want that sort of atmosphere from the START of the season. I'm all for protesting, but keep it outside the stadium and outside of the 90 minutes we shall ALL be behind our team.

Apart from the KCB lying over protests inside the stadium, what about the disruption to other supporters? Why do the KCB think they have the right to disrupt the enjoyment of the game for those who do-not wish to participate by holding up banners and demonstrating against an internal political decision?

It is an act of absolute selfishness that absolutely no-one is going to respect. Indeed by doing so the KCB is going to shoot a massive hole in its own foot.

Also drop trying to play the victim, both sides have made threats towards each other and it is not just coming from the pro-red side as you portray

FFS! You are getting VERY boring now. Every f*cking post!!

Selfish? The guy has spent £40 Million + of his children's inheritance to take a chance on us.

He rescued us from admin.

He is in the process of making us a premier league club, ditching his roles in other businesses to do so.

Who the f**k are you to call him selfish? :roll:

Calm down. Never said I didn't respect what he has done, but all this could have been in blue. That's selfish. We are no nearer to the PL than we was last season at the moment.

And who the hell are you to call me boring? Hypocrite!!

Excellent post. This football club has always been full of surprises but the appalling reaction from some fans to peaceful KCB protests has been a real eye opener. Very sad days to be a CCFC supporter.

With all due respect, I can easily twist that sentence in bold around and say why do the pro-red supporters think they have the right to disrupt the efforts of those wanting to protest respectfully to keep our clubs colours, tradition, heritage and identity?

I think you are bang on the money with this.... either that or Tan's PR department are working overdrive on here, although I'd appreciate it if he stopped employing spotty teenagers to do his work for him so that we could have a few less childish and snide remarks to posts, and instead have more intelligent responses that look to provoke a debate, rather than just goad an angry response.

It,s amazing how people like you seem to have memory blocks, before VT became the major invester in the club we had already been served with two winding up orders and another one pending, we were in the middle of a transfer embargo and risdale had mortgaged the next £3.5 million worth of transfers to ray ranson, we were losing over a million pound a week and about a month away from administration, (whitleys words) now since VT has taken finacial control there have been no court visits and the transfer embargo has been lifted, now if he doesn,t do anything else for the club he has kept us afloat and running, tell me this, if he hadn,t stepped in who would have paid the HMRC and the monthly wages of all the staff???????

Ask the Blackburn players and fans the same question, players were definitely affected... Getting grief from away fans don't matter, and anti English chants won't cause a stirr to them, but in house protests will have an effect. Don't you think the players talk now about the fans planning this? Don't you think they will be talking about it when they enter the game on the Friday?? That's not what they should be thinking about just before they walk out of thue changing room

So what's the alternative for us fans who want us to stay blue? Not do anything, roll over and accept it? Maybe VT should have thought about this before going ahead with his plans! He knew his actions would divide the fans and if the players are affected by what's going on, there is one man to blame - VT!

Buy the club! The people to blame if the players are affected and the protests are outside the ground, thn it's the players fault, if it's inside the ground it's the fans fault. How canyou be a city fan then do something that could make us play worse???

Bollocks. Blackburn were just shit, end of.

It's a couple of scarfs and banners. Hardly a bomb going off is it. Iv played enough football to know that once your on the pitch all you think about is your job in hand. Nothing more nothing less. And I wasn't getting paid for it.

And I've played enough football and got paid very nicely from it and know that professional players are affected by what goes on in the stands. You can say it will be banners, but the players will reAd them in the warm up, talk about it, hear any chants of it prior to the game?

So why would any city fan do anything that could cause our team to do even play 1% worse than they can do? Fans support the players during the game.

Bollocks. Blackburn were just shit, end of.

It's a couple of scarfs and banners. Hardly a bomb going off is it. Iv played enough football to know that once your on the pitch all you think about is your job in hand. Nothing more nothing less. And I wasn't getting paid for it.


And I've played enough football and got paid very nicely from it and know that professional players are affected by what goes on in the stands. You can say it will be banners, but the players will reAd them in the warm up, talk about it, hear any chants of it prior to the game?

So why would any city fan do anything that could cause our team to do even play 1% worse than they can do? Fans support the players during the game.


Please tell me where in the statement it's says these banners are going to be shown prior to the game kicking off inside the stadium?

If everyone's doing it together as stated on another thread at the 8min mark. Just because youve not said when it's going to be done in this thread, it's already been stated it will be in the stadium.

I hardly doubt it's going to be done in your front room at home!
