Who gave you the god given right to decide what is or isn't appropriate to debate on here,what part of discussion forum are you having trouble with.
Ah the indignant "My right to free speech" card is played! What part of we don't need to hear the same thing said in multiple different threads are you having trouble with.

After six years of non-stop promotion campaigns and three managers last season it's going to take time to build up momentum again! The class of 2016 has gone, somebody (whether that is RS remains to be seen) needs to be given the time to move us up from our lower mid-table perch. It might take another six years. Hull were in this division for nine years I think in the 90s, and for most of that time were nowhere near the top!
Firstly, I don't see why we have to be cross-referenced against other clubs and secondly, we were a couple of points off the play-offs 6 months ago with a manager that many thought was clueless. At least, under Bignot, you could spend the first half-hour either laughing at Gunning or trying to work out who was supposed to be playing where. Under Slade, you know exactly what's going to happen and the game plan is to win (his phrase) as many first contacts and second contacts as possible.

It's becoming totally boring now to the clear detriment of this once bloody good message board. GTFC might not be the only entity that is stagnating.
This, when we won the other week there must have been one thread about the game with only a handful congratulating the team, when we lose it's the same excrement stirrers stirring the pot.

As i asked you yesterday, why do you never post when we win? You never offer anything remotely positive about the team or club. Seem to revel in us losing so you can post 5 threads about the same thing and witter on with your " free speach" line. Boring

We seem to live in a very toxic blame culture these days! We have to blame something or someone! But who's to blame for that!
Are the other 23 teams in Division 2 saying the same thing week in week out!
We were in division 4 when I started watching town in the late 60's and early 70's and must have been poor some weeks and better some other weeks that's what division 4 teams were like and that's what we're like now! I can't remember thinking who's to blame!
I haven't had a very good day at work, the woman on the post office on the way home gave me a funny look so maybe it was her fault! Or I'll blame the cat as he's here so must have done something wrong at some point which contributed to my bad day! Ultimately it must be my parents fault.. b stards!
Great point. In all seriousness it is probably the fault of the digital age. When Town fans were debating the disatrous 1969 re-election season they probably felt the same as some do on here now but their conversations were restricted to a few talking in pubs. Now it's shared with hundreds in seconds!

Bignot tried to change too much too quickly. If he had played his cards right he could have had a decent spell here and achieved things. But following a succesful regime with mass change the way meant he did he was always going to be shown the door at some stage. Slade's a steadier pair of hands as you say, had we had him first and the Bignot it might have worked out better!

As i have said before, most teams of our standing spend the majority of seasons just pootling about in mid table, with the occasional good season and a few bad ones thrown in. There are 23 other teams in the league, all with a squad of professionals, all trying their damnedest to win games of football by fair means or foul.
It's not so much the results that bother me as the boring football we have to endure for most of the games. It's lacking excitement at BP and i think that is more of a concern and the reason gates are suffering. It's just flat most of the time.
With me struggling to get to any games this season, i wonder Ginny, if the match has a slight "reserve game to it" i will need to watch full match highlights to see if the football is as bad as whats been said. I can remember, even during when Shaun Pearson was in the side that we never really played much from the back, but instead playing it long. It would frustrate me when the defenders that had time either decided to play it back to McKeown, who would then launch it long, or play it long themselves. I'm trying to remember what the defenders did during Buckleys days. Still it wouldn't surprise me that come Saturday we'll end up stuffing the imps and playing some good football too lol.

Had you been there last night I am sure you would have heard plenty round you expressing their discontent.
