I really am offended by your posts. You have Hill and you are welcome to him, he tried and failed here. yet you keep coming back telling us how good he is!! At the level you are at and playing against Leeds he looks great, however over a period of time he proved he was not up to the task of managing BFC, many more have also failed in that too, but they didnt blame everyone else, or the fans !
Just hearing the name Keith Hill offends me. And seeing 'King' in front of it just makes my blood boil! He wasn't a king... He was a ******* joker!
Any need to quote the capital letters? I wasn't saying I was in love with the Keith Hill thread, I was just saying there was only one of them. Hardly overkill. You were a bit too quick off the block there considering I was only replying to your post as requested.
The board has to remain an expression of opinion, even if we don't agree. 'The Rochdale Experiment', as I call it - remains a very current and important subject, even though the instigators are gone - there is a legacy, for better or worse - that we have to contend with and this will and should, provoke debate among the fan base and those who use this (brilliant, I think) forum. Censorship or an isolation of a point of view, is a bad way to go. I'm too thick to differentiate between what is good or bad for BFC. I just get wholesale behind whatever is there, in the blind belief that we are one step away from world domination. Occasionally, I will make an insightful observation of the state of play at Oakwell and sometimes I'm fortunate enough for someone to hear it and approve. I tend to shut up when things are bad, but my opinion is still as valid as anyone's. I haven't read any recent pro Hill posts, but as much as I love madmark - you can't stop them doing it. I don't get it. Hill played his way into an opportunity at BFC and he ****ed it up. He's playing well again but so what? Given a second chance, he'd still **** it up. I don't see where the argument is, but if folk want to have it, let em.
I think you're right Paul. I find them a bit tedious at times, like Mark but some people find them interesting and I usually dont look at them. They are fairly few and far between as well
If we're relegated, with Danny...and Dale are promoted under, Keeeeeeef, I can see civil war breaking out on here. Could make for an amusing summer break...
No offence intended here Mark (just as I'm sure you aren't trying to offend me) but that King Keith thread is the first thread of reference to him that I have personally created in the last five weeks (yes, I checked, I'm sad). And, the purpose of the thread was to pillock folk. It was light hearted. But I knew folk would be falling over themselves to call him a lovely person. Again. Despite there already being about five threads at the time already doing just that. I never expected a five page debate about the bloke and his (in)abilities as a manager. And, of the 180 odd posts contained in it, I contributed four. And I wasn't having a 'love-fest' either. I said he was quite often a lovely person. I said he failed, said he had to go. So you - and others - need to see an optician. . There has been a thread on here the last few days titled 'North or South'. I'm not interested in it. I haven't opened it. Same goes for the thread about reducing speed limits on the motorway. So why aren't you and the other Keith/Rochdale haters using the same method? I mean, it's common sense. Because posting 30 replies in a thread related to something you don't want to read about seems rather contradictory, to me. Yet I am apparently the one obsessed? . The lad known as 442 is no WUM, nor is he an imposter. He's a huge Dale supporter and a really top bloke who I know personally. Yes, he's an irritating beggar at times, just as I am/you are. I don't think some of the posts aimed at him are reight cool. Calling him a lovely person etc. Or telling him to **** off the forum. But that's up to admin to police. . I will agree (just because I'm bored of it at the moment) to a Keith/Rochdale amnesty. I won't create a thread about them again. However, if others do so, I reserve the right to share my opinion if I am arsed. . My final point - Keith was lauded on here like no other before him, pre February 2012. And again in September/October that year. So much so, the forum was full weight against a takeover if it meant the removal of Keith. 13 games later he was sacked and ever since then he has snowballed into the worst manager and biggest lovely person to ever set foot into Tarn. I will always dispute that. But not on here anymore because I don't want to upset folk by having a differing opinion. . You Keith-tastic Reds.
Andy, I like you and I reckon most of your posts are decent, but i fail to see why there has to be any post about the Rochdale person? 4-4-2 may not be a WUM, but he certainly is a **** !! Cool or not ! He comes on here and tells us just how fecking great the pillock is and how he can spot a good player! He is the worst manager BFC have ever had points wise, no amount of fancy coats ,scarves or beard growth can cover that up. 125 years is a long time and to be statistically the worst ever is some fecking going, especially when you consider the ***** we have had as manager ! So please dont bother posting pillocking posts or talking about the Rochdale One, they have no place on here,, go and do it on the Rochdale forums where they actually seem to believe his ballax !! Oh and one final point yopur final point is rubbish too, there was not full weight support for him , he was not lauded on here like no other, in fact he should not have even been mentioned in the same breath as Wilson, I think that you and a few others got carried away with your blind belief in all that was hillcroft, but there was a bloody lot that never ever liked him and said so, but you seem to have forgotten about those ! Rant over, see you soon hopefully !
I'll be the first to admit Hill didnt do a great job at Barnsley - results are all important- and i have said as much numerous times. You're right, there doesn't have to be any post about him if an individual doesn't want to post. So maybe those who still blame him for your current predicament won't mention him either. If I'm a lovely person* for daring to talk about football on a football forum then so be it. But presumably the admins aren't that bothered even if they're not reading any of it. They have the right idea. Oh and I'll be the first to admit when Hill gets it wrong, as he has at times this season too. But he's a better football manager than most. Just not at Barnsley. (oh and the archive illustrates the angst when there was talk of a takeover and it affecting Hill's job, it's all quite sweet really.)
There are also posts about a disappearing Hibernian fan, the FA Cup match between Arsenal and Coventry, John Stones who's an Everton player, and a lot more that have nothing to do with Barnsley FC. Should these posts be removed too or moved to their own forum? I know that you don't like Keith Hill, and that's alright with me. I don't find these threads all that interesting either now that he's gone - I do wish him all the best at Rochdale though - but luckily for me it's easy enough to avoid reading these threads by not clicking on them.
This is the last time I answer you , please just post on threads by Whitey or someone else that gives a **** , cos I dont ! Thank you and goodbye.
