Pissing Fucking Eck

[The Situation]

I much prefer the mods on here compared to that lot on villatalk. As for the generals thread, I feel it ran is course after the first year or so as initially it was a way of building bridges with the fans and trying to show the fans they weren't like the glazers. After 18 months or so it just seemed to be the same cycle of questions and answer. Fair play to him for posting all these years but I did feel he tended to shy away for difficult questions or would become very defensive.

Please stop PFE. Let the mods do the moderating. Yellow card.

Exactly like that. Banned me for calling someone pathetic, quite pathetic really.

I got banned for telling someone to get a life in a sarky way.

I won't name names though, they know who they are...

was a big rant but was very quickly deleted. Probably in the
Managers thread. Think it may of been Sunday. Basically defended mcleish before it became common knowledge we were in talks.

its my birthday tomorrow

what a present

I don't actually think that was really the General.

The problem for them being they couldn't really issue a denial then go out and appoint McLeish as they have.

As for the thread I don't really see the use anymore.

From the moment they issued that rather pointless, odd statement about being determined to interview AM, it was obvious he'd got the job.

Despite us all defending them from the press, the club made a bit of a mess of it in the end did'nt they?

Yes everything that turned up in the media turned out to be true so they might as well have made official statements

Nothing was said today and with Mclaren admitting we called off a meeting with no reason we contined to look incompentant.

[ROBBO]

His thread was a nonsense and will not be missed.

[PaulMcGrathsNo5Shirt]

Let's be honest, Randy's strategy was to try and buy us into 4th place to get the Champions League place knowing at the time 4th was a possibility with investment. Sadly, Man City came into the equation and then Spurzzzz sneaked the 4th place.

Our strategy had gone at this point and since then our board haven't had a clear enough strategy. In light of this General Krulak hasn't really told us anything of note in his thread for a good while. To be honest whilst i'm not ever going to question his integrity and honesty, I really wonder how much he truely understands about this sport and what it means to us.

The General's thread seemed like an excellent P.R. exercise when Randy took over, and actually proved to be just that, but has recently become nothing short of an uncomfortable liability. Although this access is probably unique in sport, we have become accustomed to communicating with a board member and have taken this privilege as a right. This was probably inevitable and understandable, but now this right has now morphed into a sense of outright entitlement to abuse a board member at will without recourse, both on his thread and others.

It would be easy to blame the moderators, but that would be like blaming the police because there had been a riot (probably a bad analogy, but there you are) It's each individual's responsibility to behave in a civilised way and I'm really pissed off that this forum has degenerated so badly.

So you're angry. Grow a up, go kick the cat if you have to, but stop squealing like 14 year olds who've just been grounded.

I agree with you.

[madirishvillain]

*Wonders what PFE is but is too embarrassed to ask*

"Posting for effect".

Or in simple terms - "Stop being a twat".
