You may say "who cares?", I didn't post much, I am not part of the clique, you didn't answer many of my threads, although this board has been my home page for many years. I am a Barnsley fan, and have been one since 1958. I am changing my home page to the official site and I want to tell you why before I go. Its not that I disagree with you, in fact I agree too much, I join in sometimes, and I feel really negative afterwards. Like a person looking for a scandal in the Big Brother House, I look in to see how bad things are today. It is not good for you, me, or anybody. Not one word that has been written on here has done BFC any good at all since the Wednesday game. People get angrier, more abusive, and in your mind you have lost the next game before it starts, talk about making your own luck? Mistakes have been made by well meaning people. Davey is finding out whether he can manage, and GS has gambled his credibility on him, end of story. Had I been GS I would have wanted to further Davey's apprenticeship more by putting him under a more experienced man, but that costs money that we don't have. We don't "deserve" better, in a good season we will manage an average of 14000, not insignificant, but not a big club. Given the right backing we could compete with Bolton, or Blackburn, but never Manchester United, or even Wednesday on following. The club got into trouble following our dream, the club could get into trouble again following the same dream. My personal feeling is that I believe in positive thinking and that people attract into their life what they focus on and think about. Look at the threads this week and tell me, what are we focussing on. Thank you for your time, if you have given it, to read this.
Not being funny or anything but I've read it and still don't understand why you're off. If it's just cos everyone's got the munk on, then that's fairly standard fayre on here............
Dirk, first of all thank you for replying. I am leaving because it makes me feel hopeless when I read the threads. I don't want the negative feelings I get to come into other parts of my life. If the board was full of positive suggestions, that would be great, let the anger go, and get real about the situation. I am sure GS is as worried as we are, but he will make better decisions with us off his back.
I think it's better than fans get stuff off their chests on this buffoon board rather than kicking the cat.
I Didn't Expect.......... the Keeley video to affect so many people. It was hard to watch but very uplifting.
I can see that, and I have done that as well, check back on some of my angry stuff this week. Its done now, if we can focus on winning games again now I am sure we will do better.
I can appreciate what you say there, but using the Southend game as an example, this forumhas been a conduit for folk to vent their spleen, as aggressive as that may be in some quarters. It's because people care. They have no other avenue because to some folk, the hierachy at BFC seem detached and unwilling to engage everyday supporters - I'm not saying that is exactly the case, but just as some folk see it.</p> And to be fair, if Messrs Shepherd and Cryne are influenced by what's typed on an open internet forum then I'd be very disappointed in them. Personal insults and accusations aside naturally.</p>
OK, if they are influenced by this board, what would you do? I know about sack Davey and sack GS, that's easy so what are the positive suggestions that they can use?
Well, events since administration have transpired so that unless someone has millions of pounds available to invest/gift/loan to BFC, we have the present incumbents and that's that.</p> I'd have done things differently in the summer, but that's all gone now, so we're where we are.</p>
well i have read it and im with you 100% i can remeber a season when we were winning all before us went huddersfield old ground beat them 5 1 and that was it, before xmas never won another game last game of season lost to Rotherham Jack Shaw scored ,duncan sharp had miskicked and scliced to him on a plate BFC relegated and that was a good side,Bobby Wood,Graham,Sharp, Hough Come another season we were there all forgotten yes i read yours will you read mine
Interesting I read to the point where you say you are changing you're home page to the official site........if that doesn't send you over the edge nothing will
