Purpose of The Fishy

While we are at it, I'd love to see an end to posts in general that make vitriolic comments about individuals.

There seems to be some posters who take extremely negative views about individuals in a way that surely isn't in the interests of anyone.

Yes by all means say a player had a bad game or isn't as good as another.  But why do we have to have posts saying player x is rubbish etc.  it's clearly not the case or they wouldn't have a career as a professional footballer.

If someone is a genuinely not pulling their weight it's one thing, but I think all our current players are working hard for success.  Some are more talented than others but can't we be a bit less negative.

Likewise JF.  You may disagree with him but argue your points constructively and not just with a personal vitriol.

Some of the posts on here belittle the Fishy and make it a less enjoyable place to spend time.

What ever his mistakes, and he has made many,he has the courage to stick his head above the parapet and spend his money,abusing him or his family totally out of order.

If a fan has a passion for his/her football team, there's always a likelihood that there will be some vitriolic comments when things go wrong. Facts are that more has gone wrong than right over the last 15 years - are you trying to sanitise this forum so we are not allowed to criticise anybody? If so, I'm out.

FFS why  are some people on here ready to press the self destruct button?

                                    WE ARE ALL GTFC AFTER ALL ARE WE NOT?

OC really like your posts nobody trying to sanitise the Fishy but we can make our points without resorting to personal abuse keep on posting.

So whatever anybody thinks of John I can say he is very approachable and is willing to talk to any fan,

Absolute not. He refused point blank to talk to a group of fans who were againt the PP location at one of the public engagement sessions. The reason for this was he didnt think where they lived would be affected. End of matter.
He cannot take any critism whatsoever. The sooner he goes the better.

Quoted from grimsby pete

I have not been told or asked to be quiet on here and I am free to say what I think is true,

BUT

Having spoke to John on the phone I can see both sides and I understand certain things could be upsetting if the same thing was said to me.

So whatever anybody thinks of John I can say he is very approachable and is willing to talk to any fan,

Apparently he wasn't very approachable at Accrington last Tuesday night!  

[quote=211]Whatever people think of Fenty if they think he isn't a true fan of the club they're obviously blinded by their hate.

Regarding pro and anti Fenty, do we have to fit in one of those camps? Whatever happened to nuance?[/quote]

I think you'll find they disbanded back in 1988 .

Quoted from devs

Stop the bitterness towards John Fenty full stop
Express your views in a reasonable and coherent manner (bit of an ask for a few on here) and no one can have any complaints - it's a forum where everyone has an opinion
But the bile and hostility levelled at him over the years has been a disgrace

He's a millionaire fan (a true fan as well - look at the scenes when we won the play off final v FGR) who has made mistakes but without his cash who knows where we might be

I work in the media and I can confirm a lot of what has been written IS libellous and defamatory

It's funny how people see things so differently. I'd much rather see just the players and coaching staff celebrating on the pitch. I don't want to see the major shareholder running round like they've scored the winner. I can't remember seeing any directors on the pitch at any of our relegations.

Had the club never been lent the cash we don't know where we'd be. Bearing in mind that the absolute worst thing possible happened to Wimbledon at the same time as our decline began and now they're in the league above us. I think it could've gone a lot better.

I think he would have been approachable at Accy ,if mentioning how well the team had done that night.
