The main agenda that Dazzy G or Warley Wobbler (whatever his name is) brought with him when he joined this site was to lay into everyone who did'nt agree with him to the point where he got offensive. It did'nt help his argument in the slightest.
This is my main problem.

I'm very keen to see somebody else in charge next season, but then I assume that if such complete dimwits share that opinion I assume that I must have got something wrong.

It's quite disconcerting.

Another way to look at it is that if the average dimwit with his bedsheet can see that McLeish has been a disaster, then the fact that Lerner can't must make Randy very, very, very, very stupid indeed.

Took the words out of my mouth Risso.

Interesting take on the Blackburn fans.

Difficult to see how their "getting behind the team" would have made much difference, given the shambolic running of the club.

Despite standing in Trinity Road within a few yards of the boxes of leaflets for 30 odd minutes, I wasn't even offered one.

However, the discussion I was having with Mr Shin about paper airplanes might have kept them away.

There weren't many leafllets held up, from what I could see. What a waste of paper.

In two hours on my corner I saw nobody giving them out, and no more than a handful being carried.

I thought they printed 20000. Did they leave them on the bus or something?

 In the Lower Holte I saw at least half a dozen leaflets held up at the final whistle. Quite impressive.

By the way, I didn't get one myself so could someone please enlighten me as to what was on the leaflet, and is it true there were adverts on one side?

I was given a leaflet outside the Aston Hotel and a mate of mine walked in the pub with about 3 in his hand. I did'nt see anything i disagreed with on it.

I only noticed 3 held up.

I also saw some your before the game trying to pin up a bed sheet in the Swan and Mitre. He tried and tried but it wouldn't stay up.  After 5 or so attempts he gave up trying and just draped it over the radiator with the only word visible being 'Eck. Not that anybody cared. 

It rather sums up the non event.

I have no issue with those protesting, they are doing far more than I am to remove McL from the club

I saw one held up when McLeish walked to the dug out and one paper airplane come down from the upper trinity to the lower.  Never saw anybody giving them out.

They were boxes full left in Trinity Road when I entered the ground about 13:50. Not sure what happened to them after that.

Maybe Leeg will know more as I left him and went in the ground 5 minutes after you and the boxes were all still there.

Seems that the protest organisers were filled with the same apathy as most of the crowd.

I picked them up and have used them to hand craft a giant papier mache phallus which I am taking to St Andrews tonight.

I have been warned by the West Mids Police not to take it too close to the dug out as it'll be mistaken for Ian Holloway.
