Tag me next time yeah?
@Robbie Boy
Not wumming whatsoever, giving my passionate opinion, which we all want is the best for the club and to avoid going round in circles I'll keep it short. It's
not calling for the managers head after every loss, if you think that my opinion is nonsense then that's down to you and your opinion, which you're allowed to have. But at least tag me or quote me next time and let me say my thing instead of somewhat chatting 'behind my back'.
After the game and immediate reaction had died down I had somewhat of a decent, all be it short, conversation with
@dove, but hey, it seems you've already made your mind up anyway...'that particular poster'.
In fairness, I usually would tag, so apologises for that. It's kind of ironic you have an issue with tagging though, when you and your cronies endlessly quote people without tagging them in your echo chamber in the General. But hey, as I said, apologies on my end.
I have no issue if you have an issue with people calling for his head after every match. I've made my opinions very clear on where I currently stand, and it's that I support him for now but things have to change. I also have an issue with the micro analysis after every single game, be it a win, loss or a draw. However, at the moment, we're in a run of 3 defeats in 4, with our performances not looking too great. I think it's blind optimism, if you don't think at least a conversation has to be had.
As stated, the issue is the extreme reactions from both sides, not just one. Your posts in here seemed extremely wummy after the Villa result, and it wasn't just me who called you out on it. You can't have your cake and eat it, unfortunately; if you act like you want the quality of debates to improve, it's your job as a member of the forum to contribute towards that. How about reporting the posts that are out of line with forum rules, and engage in debate with people who have reasonable doubts about him? I mean, isn't that the point of a forum, to debate with others and to share your viewpoints etc?
You are actively contributing to the negative atmosphere by posting wummy nonsense. Standing behind that behaviour and passing it off as 'passion for the club' is dishonest, and you know it. Express your passion by engaging in meaningful debate, and outline why you have the stance that you have. The extreme 'in' side that never bother engaging in actual debate and instead come in posting wummy nonsense and leaving straight away, is no better than the fans that call Ole an idiot etc. Blind unwavering support is as bad as the negative Nancys, as neither side want a balanced, nuanced, fair debate.
