Any protest get my backing.


Seriously - what's your opinion of the abuse the Mcleishout mob are giving to anyone who disagrees with them on Twitter & elsewhere?
I don't regard Twitter etc as a real protest.

When the over 18s eventually started handing out the A4 flyers yesterday some of them were rather unpleasant to anyone who refused one or questioned their motives.

Oh is that what they were, I refused one although I thought they were for flyers for pizza or betting. The kid didn't say anything to me.

"And as a result, we got that point we so desperately needed, which any club in the country would consider a decent, if not great result."

we may have survived another defeat but surely it was a case of two points lost again, not just hanging on for a point .. and against ten men?

It quoted all the stats from this season, fewest home wins etc, said "it's not where you came from, it's where you're taking us", and a big McLeish out. And some fake advert thing on he back, I forget exactly what it said.

Not being funny Legion, but surely their motives are to apply pressure to get rid of a useless manager.  I can see why one might question their methods, but I'd have thought the motives are shared by most fans.

Agreed, but for me there is a time and a place for this. Yesterday was not that time. Plus their use of children to hand them out was, for me, out of order. I overheard two ladies have a bit of a go at one of them early on and he just did not know what to say or how to react.

When would have been the right time and place then?

After the match and/or at the end of the season.

What would be the point of giving out leaflets in the street after the match? I thought it was just about right, supportive through the match and the banners et all coming out at the final whistle. No point singing protest songs outside an empty stadium.

I meant the anti-McLeish protest in general, not the distribution of leaflets.

The small (ish) chant of Sack McLeish after the game was picked up on SSN today and yesterday, as were the "Eck out" banners.  They have their claws in now, hopefully they won't let go.
