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.

Can someone say what was said on facebook by the General? we don't all have access...
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.
Despite us all defending them from the press, the club made a bit of a mess of it in the end did'nt they?
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.
