Rubbish, these guys get PAID.
If the level of effort is enough for you then that is fine, I do not think all of the players are putting in 100% in every game.

Never said you did, but to come on here slating a players effort is a joke, especially when you say you'd go watch Leeds Utd instead if they were playing at an higher level.

I get paid too but it doesn't mean I'd like to be bashed about and then get slated for it because even when I carried on doing my job even though I was in pain some no mark who wouldn't dare do my job thought I couldn't be bothered.

Thanks for saving me the edit, you've just summed up most of your posts pretty well.

| Quote: The Key "Considering I have a very low income, dont live in Leeds and currently follow a rugby team that by the end of this season will have played in four different countries I think its hard to find an average rip off of £25 a ticket 23 times a season. I make sure I go watch them at least once every season though which for me is something'"
I know its hard for a lot of people to attend sport matches as its expensive but you morealess said in the other bit you wont go watch Leeds while there in league 1 but you are willing to pay £25 to watch them if they ever get promoted to the Championship, seems a bit fickle to me, you should be willing to support them whatever league theyre in

Have to agree.
As i tried raising previously a number of players are on flat salaries regardless of results, all they have to do is show up.
All players should be on performance related pay of some discription, I would guarantee an upturn in form.

But we havnt been able to field anything like it, so to be still in the playoffs i think is not too bad. Wait and see what we do with these players back.'"

It has always annoyed me, and so many of my fellow fans, when you get the "you go out there and do better then" comment, I don't profess to be a professional RL players so why the hell do I need to prove myself.
Would the same people be happy if they went to a restaurant for a meal and it was poor, but the chef came out and said "go on then, you cook something better", the answer is no.
If you get paid to do a job then, yes, you get paid to do it to the best of your ability and with maximum effort and application, if you genuinely are not talented/skilled then that is not your fault, so long as the effort is there, too many FC players, as you say, simply turn up and go through the motions, which upsets the other players around them giving their all every week.
There is no coincidence that the dedicated and professional players at FC change on a rotational basis, the lacklusture nucleus remains largely intact.

| I am in absolute agreement with TKOAH here, I just can't understand this "lack of effort" kind of comment, you can see the players are trying hard it's just that they are not that good. Yet so many people think they should be world beaters. It just isn't going to happen with this team of players. And the way some people talk you'd think we were bottom of the league, not 7th!
And Key, no-one is forcing you to go to all the away games in 4 different countries. Why do you think 90% of supporters only go to home games? Maybe just pick and choose a few games a season that appeal to you? I don't understand the knee-jerk over-reaction (not just by you, but by a lot of people on here).

| Does anyone care to name the players not giving 100% each week because I have not noticed which ones it is?
I have noticed some players have good/bad games but no one player who seems to be not trying.

That's a pretty bold statement given the number of players we have out injured and our lack of quality.

Could you name those players who, in your opinion, are failing to put in the required effort?

Not really, even if 2-3 players up the ante we would see an improvement, and there is no greater carrot than cash.
