keep up the good work mate.. despite the vocal FEW and their incessant biitchin at anything and everything u say and do, please keep on keeping on.. i can assure u that the vast MAJORITY are right behind u, Flicker and the lads. personally, i think a minority of "supporters" have already made up their minds, and want u out. the sad fact is, that on this BBS, there are under 10 users with this viewpoint. and the lot of em were against u from day 1. i wont name em. they and WE know who they are. if u or Flicker DO read the board, YOU will know who im referring to. its not just the management though. unfortunately, they hold contempt for pretty much anything Red related. as someone pointed out in an earlier (in another bash the manager thread), these 'fans' post on ere 24/7 and a snake could count the number of POSITIVE threads by them, on 1 of its hands.... lol i cannot honestly recall them ever having owt good to say about things. it makes u wonder why they bother tbh... 1 of em has criticised just about every working part of the Barnsley FC machine.. thats all he does on ere. i actually find him to be quite well spoken and fairly sensible too, so its a shame that he sees black rather than red when it comes to our club.. . for many a year now, the fans pretty much in unison called for a 'different' manager. a guy with a personality. a few of us, myself included, really pushed ur case Keith. then when appointed, there was pretty much full support for u. i remember many fans posting examples of ur interviews and quotes at Dale. they knew what u were like, and were excited about it.. or so we thought. because it now seems, to a few anyway, to be a real shock just how honest, open and forthright u are. because IMO thats exactly what u have been so far. yes u have made mistakes, which u acknowledge. but due to ur nature, which u warned everyone about on day 1 ("maybe i should be more guarded but this is who i am"), ppl are taking pot shots at ur every word. the scrutiny ive never known so bad at Oakwell. but its convenient which quotes these ppl USE in their criticism. take this weeks chronicle for eg. theyve had a go at A BLATANT sarcy comment. dry humor. I personally, laughed as i read it.. but THEY attacked. but its ironic that they keep ignoring quotes like "I love being Barnsley manager" or "i want to win the league" very very transparent on their part.. they accuse me of going the other way. being up ur arse etc.. but trust me, i moaned after the 2 awful games at home. and i WASNT initially happy with ur generalising of fans. i might back u to the hilt. i may think ur the best thing to happen to BFC in years. but i say as i see. if it REALLY IS as bad as some are currently making out, id be the 1st to say it. im like u mate, honest and realistic, but with burning ambition. and when i said in June that id give u the neccessary time and patience, plus my support? i was being honest. hence my disbelief at the FEW that have ALREADY judged u..
This "us v them", "I'm a better fan than you" and "I told you so" bull**** is getting ****ing pathetic on here . . . . .
Much better than the "we're all doomed" threads don't you think J? But whatever floats your boat. Some reds fans are only happy when they're moaning. Thankfully, as Whitey points out, they are a tiny minority.
Well said Whitey, I just hope he knows that what you're saying is true. The sad fact is that there are a few fans, some who post on here, who want him out and will not give him a chance. I have never known a situation like this where a manager is castigated after every interview in the way Hill is. The poor bloke can't say a word without somebody finding something to criticise him for.
great post whitey but also a prime example of why people shouldnt partake in alcoholic beverages when sat at a computer lol the sad thing is though that there are probably 1 or 2 on here that have already prewrote there posts for 5pm this aft ready to have another "i told you all" biatch fest at everything barnsley
Moaning posts about the 'moaners' are worse than the 'moaners' posts Whitey et al , Keith Hill will have to quieten his critics by what happens on the pitch. No amount of talking by him or by people on here will win over his critics. You are fast becoming more tiresome the the 'moaners. Even when no moans have been posted for a while you still chase after them. Lighten up eh.
So far he hasn't done any "good work" and that's the problem. The three home games were three of the worst I have seen in a long time - worse than anything under Davey I have to admit. I have only missed the Reading game but I have yet to see a Barnsley player put the ball in the net. Unfortunately I can't see this changing today. I hope that Hill comes good but so far the criticism has been justified and he needs to accept that.
You are not allowed to say anything that even slightly resembles the truth. You have to say how fantastic he is, how great his interviews are and that he is doing a great job, that is how it now works on here.
Re: Moaning posts about the 'moaners' are worse than the 'moaners' posts There was a post last night criticising what he said in his last interview.
You're right of course But it was from Supertyke and he'd complain if we'd just won the FA Cup. Take Thereev and Orsenkhat out of the equation and there's very little moaning at all. And one of those is just someone acting daft and winding folk up while the other has freely admitted he's a customer rather than a fan who simply makes the same point again and again. The rest of the board have had their say after the games and after the interviews, made their point, be it positive or negative, and then waited for the next game hoping for an improved performance and a victory. There's certainly more people calling for an end to the moaning than there is actually moaning.
Re: You're right of course Think they just get their rocks off on argueing on both sides of the b*itchfest.
just to reply to some of ur points... . first Conan, u say theres been no good work?? yet he has reduced the budget considerably. he hasnt brought in expensive failures. we are unbeaten AWAY!? and conceded just 1 goal, a dodgy pen.. good work IMO. that was a big weakness last year. the new GK coach has already worked wonders with Steeley.. yes there are issues. of course there is. its 5 games in with a new team. he isnt - despite his great work that i just mentioned - a miracle worker. he needs time. worse than under Davey u say?! jeez. short memories pal. Tarntyke, u say i chase the moaners?! aye, oreight. my msg was in response to SuperTyke (ironic) and his thread an hour or 2 earlier. and i dont need to lighten up, thats my default setting pal. after all, im the one being positive/faithful/supportive.. ****, u say i think im a better fan?? ******. end of. idiotic comment mate. only1kp, u know me well pal, i had indeed had a few last nite! haha. worked my bag off all week so why not eh?! lol madmark, u always say the same mate. that ur not allowed a different view, the truth etc on ere. god thats laughable. thats all u and ur cronies do ol lad! lol dunno why u keep repeating that. i told u how i felt about u and ur opinions the other day. i spoke of u in glowing terms as a poster. not that i agree often.. ;D and finally Jay... theres a fair few others mate. its not just therev, kahtorse and ST. im amazed if u believe there are no other continually negative anti-Hill users. at least 6 or 7 id say.. and as ive said, my thread wasnt me moaning at moaners who arent moaning anymore! phew! a lot of moans there. lol my own thread was posted late last nite after reading ANOTHER moaning thread.. but i suspect thats me done on ere for a while.. break is probly needed. . . COME ON TARN.. MAKE US PROUD!
