Quote="Staffs FC"I've been posting on here for years mate but thanks for your concern. As for patronising don't worry - you tried it the other day when questioning my level of education (hons degree level university electrical and electronic engineering graduate by the way) but I ignored it as I'm sure we're above that.
As recently as today I have posted my thoughts on the rugby side of matters and where I believe we are going wrong. I've talked about defensive frailty, lack of kicking game, basics not at the required level. I've pointed out and agreed with many across the spectrum about our laughable interchange policy. Something to stress here - I talk about the game and its technicalities - I like to debate that side of things because I love RL. Many disagree with me - the odd one agrees. But I point out again - I talk rugby - I don't particularly like idle banter or enjoy getting involved in tit for tat discussion or pathetic points scoring. Constant slagging and regurgitating the same points time after time, thread after thread about Agar this Agar that.
In your case you hold the view that it's better for the team to lose just now. That is completely the antithesis of what being a fan is in my view, so just as you are happy to make your proclamations, so I will counter in return. If that comes across as 'shut up and get behind the lads' then so be it. Actually it's a view on what being a fan is but you make of it what you will.
Why - of course - you are a generous individual.
See above. I hate these threads. However - as I said - how many different ways can the anti-Agar brigade wrap up the same opinion ? How many different ways are there of accusing the club of spin ? How many different ways are there of calling for boycotts/protests/sack the coach/board. How many ways are there of proclaiming the club is on a slippery slope to doom ? etc. etc. etc. etc. etc. Sometimes I post because I am sick to the back teeth of reading the same stuff dressed up in yet another thread of a different title but precisely the same content. We have a thread about the new website but it just descends into yet another accusation of spin and alike. The officail website promoting the club - who'd have thought it eh ?
There was a perfect example of this undermining of the club last week. Sean Long in the Mail stating he'd play through the pain barrier if necessary at Hudds. Needless to say there was a furious arm waving uproar thread on here with one poster stating that this was 'a typical decision of our club at the moment'. Of course no one at the club had ever made that decision but it was deemed just fine to slag them off anyway.
And finally - my view on the coaching situation is the same as it was in January as I stated on here. Agar must improve us this season or go. I have more recently acknowledged that with the start we've had this is not going to be easy. I've said, on several occasions, that if this looks more and more unlikely as the season progresses then we should look to act more quickly especially in view of 2012 recruitment requiements. We are not at that stage yet though in my view - one that you and many others disagree with but that's fine by me. I am of the opinion that the incessant constant morass of sniping and criticism does not help anyone - least of all the players who are the ones who really count in this. I don't want the players to turn against the fans - why ? Because then we really will be in trouble.
So my view differs a bit from yours. Never mind eh ? But when you have your next pop about the content of my posts take a quick look down the board and see how many threads I started basically saying the same thing as the last one. I think you'll find not many - but where I want to comment I will - your advice notwithstanding.'"
Quote="Isaiah"That is just childish and embarrassing.
They cannot be true fans and should be banned for life.
People need to get a grip. Give the man a chance, he has only been on the forum 3 months.
I am not his biggest fan and would like to see him replaced, but I think we should give him a least until mid season, and if he doesn't improve then get rid, or make him a mod.

Thanks for your support Isaiah. Once I've had the opportunity to have a clear out of certain posters and bring in some people to agree everything I say, the standard of my contributions to the forum will increase dramatically. If this doesn't happen I will walk away.
