neave Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 As shite a thread as this is, I'd like to point out the diving antics of their number 22. Sekajja I think? Threw himself to ground when racing with Wilson then again with no one near him a few minutes later. Then again at the start of the second half. Ridiculous stuff. Aye, he's a snidey wee shite. His pace caused us problems in both games though. Last week could've been a lot worse if he didn't make a ***** of his one-on-one at 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazzas right boot Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Threads like this make us sound like OF fans. If it wasn't for the "pashy " wee clubs, there would be no league. Rangers and Celtic view us as a" pashy " wee clubs. Live and let live, actually respect the fans of smaller teams, so easy for the likes of Livingston fans to jump in bed with Celtic/ Rangers or even the Edinburgh teams, takes a bit of loyalty to go and support the local community club. Hats of to the fans that turn out at Stenhousemuir, Abroath, Etc: Would yo like it if everyone only supported the big teams? These threads are so Rangers/ Celtic, I feel sick.

The club may have a long history as an entity but "Livinston FC" don't. As for people following Livingston, they're either 20 or under or they've given up on another team to watch Livi, doubtless while they were shooting up the leagues similar to the way Gretna did.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 There seemed to be some random guy in their section shouting Neil Alexanders name for a lot of the second half, what was all that about? but onto other matters. When they had their successful time in the top flight I knew one or two Jambos who went along to watch them which I thought was a shame as it was cash which should have come our way but now I see their crowds are down to a small group of diehards and any floating support has erm floated away. The idea was to have a team for West Lothian but good folks there already have OF and hopefully us as a lure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The novelty factor played a part with crowds at that time without a sound foundation to build a lasting support. The opportunity to get one over either one of the OF was probably why some fans of other clubs went along as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martoon Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Agree with Cb. Said pretty much the same on EEN thread a few days back. Didn't swear though. They are pointless. I absolutely respect the wee clubs from wee towns in Scotland but there's always been something phoney and soulless about Livingston. They've been on life-support for years which would suggest the town itself don't care that much more than I do. Did enjoy the 'teabag' League Cup final of '04, though.

martoon Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 I assume the same rule of thumb applies for Inverness Caledonian Thistle then?? Different circs though, Floyd. The merger in Inverness was of 2 popular existing clubs with long histories in that town/city. Also, iirc, Thistle fans, for the most part, felt no part of the merger. It wasn't a 50/50 coming together. The merged club play at Caley's stadium and predominantly in their blue. The merger was more to do with convincing the Scottish League at the time that an Inverness club would be a good addition to the set-up. Caledonian would probably have made the same progress had they been admitted as they were. The OF, and to a degree, Hearts and H1b5, have long been the clubs supported within Livingston and that, IMO, is never going to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haken Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Not really. That was merger. Livingston are a completely new club (with no fans and and inability to avoid going tits up)I always thought Livingston was what Meadowbank Thistle became? They've tried their best to drum up (!) local support by giving away tickets to local schools. They realised that the football supporting population of livingston - predominantly Rangers, Celtic, Hearts and Hibs - would be unlikely to start supporting a'local' team. And Livingston already had a Junior team. Owners have seen them as a project for their own means; we can't be critical of that. There were, what, about 150-200 there yesterday supporting Livingston? You could say that's the sign of a Diddy team. Or you could say good on those 150-200 for not staying at home and coming out to see their team instead.

kimosavi Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 They set up to frustrate and break up the play. They shouldn't apologise for going out and not getting beat 5-0. I blame the ref for not doing his job properly. Burchill feels we're far and away the best team in the league, so setup his team accordingly not to get beat. We need to get used to teams playing this way and find better ways to combat it. This very much. Teams aren't giving us the time or space to play and expect most teams to play exactly the same way Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supa hot fire Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Decent community football club, loyal fan base and had more than their fair share of owners causing them financial misery.

Bert Le Clos Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Poor poor excuse for a thread. Seems that some people around here are suddenly getting a Charlie Big Baws attitude as we are top of the league about other smaller clubs such as Livingston. Short memories people, as it wasn't that long ago we nearly folded. I'd rather leave the "diddy club" chat to fans of Rangers & Celtic. This. Got a certain amount of respect for Livingston and their fans. The club's been shafted through mis-management over the last few years but save us having a wealthy die-hard supporter willing to invest and a far more established fan base we could have been in the exact same position as they are now. Their fans didn't have to choose to support them. They could have easily have kept on supporting one half of the OF from their living rooms instead of turning out to support a new club with an uncertain future. Even more respect to the fans who have stuck with them over the last few years. Nice wee stadium and if run correctly they could be a tidy little club. Yes one of their players kicked one of ours in the face but that's not reason enough to wish the demise of their club. Craigyboy can claim to have some deep rooted hatred of them but I can't remember many threads on here wishing Livingston didn't exist before last week. In short, shite thread.
