Well, we were always accused of being `glory fans` a few years back, which looking at current attendances would now seem to have been a fair criticism of a good few back then. This does affect every club in every sport though, and I don`t think there is any club in any league, anywhere that this doesn`t apply to; the better the results, generally the better the `support`.
It has always has been easier to support success rather than failure and I guess that everyone has a lower limit, beyond which they feel they can no longer support a club, which is fair enough and I won`t criticise anyone for making whatever decision they feel is right for them; you pay your brass and you take your pick.
I guess we all sometimes feel we know better than the professionals, even though we often have little background knowledge of what is going on within the club (rumours on here don`t count, btw winkicon_smile.gif and only a basic idea of the game at an amateur level.

If you are amongst those I describe, then I'd agree. I've said for a while that times like these sort out the supporters from the fans, and I agree with that being the difference.

What colour do you suggest that the protestors use instead then?

| I think people need to be mindful that a good proportion of "join the protest" or "boycott the games" posts - anywhere - are started by [iagents provocateur[/i who do not wish their target well. There are one or two of those infecting the T&A site who maybe are banned from on here.
Judging by the replies on here though, most posters are too wise - and too committed to being a supporter despite the rubbish performances we have seen - to get suckered in.
Anyone who does feel the need to protest - I'm sure that you'll be putting forward practicable alternatives that the club would want to listen to, rather than just letting off steam and having a paddy to make yourself feel better ? Although it may be more productive if you instead approached the club more formally with your proposals? And I'm not trying to be clever - I'm dead serious. I'm sure the club would find it hard not to listen to - and indeed would (or should!) appreciate - constructive input.

May I suggest if you get some time on your hands, you look at installing some form of spell checker.
Which of course wouldn't pick up on typing violent as violet

And which krap ppl are these? I haven't read any replies that said yes. And you do know anyone visiting the thread can vote in the poll dont you? So which way do you think any passing Hud/Leeds/Wakey/other fan might have voted in this poll, just for a laugh???
There is no protest, there will be no protest on Sun. Simple.

| What protest?
Never saw anything in the T&A about a protest organised or otherwise.
Is this a wind up?

My guess is that some of the angry brigade who post on the quasi-MB after each story on the T&A site were going off on one? On or two on there are definite [iagents provocateur[/i, and one on there (repeatedly banned from on here) makes ME's unhealthy obsession with blaming the coach for everything look like mild hero-worship in comparison.

| While any posters keep within the AUP they're alright with me.
There's been some strong opinions put forward and some good debate lately and I don't see any reason why that'll change.

The phrase "The pot calling the kettle black" is an idiom used to accuse a person of being guilty of the very thing they are pointing out.
p.s. An idiom is a phrase whose meaning cannot be determined by the literal definition of the phrase itself, but refers instead to a figurative meaning that is known only through common use.

To be honest, I'm with Bullseye on this. As long as the postings are reasonable and relatively responsible, that's fine by me and I am happy to engage with it on this board in public - or by PM.... I guess you live in hope it might eventually tread the road to Damascus - but even if not, as long as it acts reasonably and contributes to the discussion then it has every right to post on here IMO.
