The type who believes the club has been run inefficiently and without ambition, but still believes (and hopes) that the club can do better in the future. This type is generally more critical and less tolerant of failure. The second type accepts failure on a regular basis, makes excuses for these failings and is just happy to have a club. They console themselves by saying "it could be worse, we could be (insert name of **** northern club who we were in division four with in 1972 or who had a season in the second tier in 1993)". I'm happy to say I'm the former. I always will be.
I'd say there's one type, that want the club to be successful. It's just we all disagree on how to achieve that.
You say "happy you're the former". Well why is my question? Why are you happy criticizing all the time? There is nothing you can do about most things at Oakwell apart from offering your unconditional support, which I am sure you do. So why criticize the things you can't change and have no influence over?
Well the general gist of your posts are... Player (insert name) is ***** and got nowt but work rate. The clubs being run into the ground by person (insert name) Person (insert name) isn't doing a good job of running the club And so forth. Even the opening post is a subtle dig.
Just because some posters don't want to criticize the club on a daily, if not hourly basis, doesn't mean they are accepting failure. They just dont crave the attention as much.
I see what you mean [MENTION=54059]DEETEE[/MENTION]; However some of what he posts I do agree with. Think some of you (not mentioning names and certainly not you, DEETEE) are missing Hemsy and need a new target.
I also want the club to be better than it is. But I don't harp on criticizing everything at the club, most of which I have no influence over. So give it a ****ing rest.
I too agree at times with some of his comments but it doesn't need ramming down our throats at every turn. There's not much difference in my eyes between that and saying bobby hassells **** at every turn ...
It's an open forum, he is entitled to put over his opinion. If you disagree, then either ignore his posts or engage in a debate with him. Telling him to give it a ******* rest is uncalled for. In my opinion.
That's a fair point actually. I suppose we can all get a bit repetitive at times. But then, I didn't want Hemsworth removing either.
I agree with DT, Conan does make some good points/posts but constantly posts the same over and over again. He's like Hemsie abit but he doesnt turn a thread about what we all had for dinner into a anti steele/hassell/german football etc etc
You don't have influence over anything other than where you sit in the ground. If that's all we discussed it wouldn't be a reight interesting forum would it?
