Quoted from Rick12
only thing Ron is Scotts management style.Seems to f and blind a lot and expects a lot from the players (rightly so).However players are not machines and some do not not benefit from the "bawling" which strikes me which is something that is so symptomatic  of Scotts management style.Some players benefit from other forms of man-managment style (from what I have read from players in the game )



You may well be right Rick but my point was more that this seems a minor detail compared to the life & death stuff we were posting about a year or two back.

If things go pear shaped before Christmas I think we will see the Fishy back to its old standards.

Quoted from Paul62
I recently signed upto the Fishy to post on a non football thread that was close to my heart. For the record I was born within a stones throw of Blundell Park saw my first town game in 1972 and now exiled in Shropshire, I have suffered the highs and lows of town for nearly 50 years. The fishy is the lifeline that keeps many of us in touch with the fortunes of our beloved club. I have great respect and admiration for the way this board is run but the one thing I don't like  is new posters like myself having to run the gauntlet of flack. I have seen to many first time posters shot down in flames because of objections to their point of view or because they don't live in the local area. I like the banter but this personal stuff has to stop, otherwise the fishy will spiral out of control descending into a free for all putting people off.


Shropshire Eh! Did Black Haddock post from there, never hear from him nowerdays

Black Haddock does still post on here but he's undergone a character change recently.

From what I've seen, this forum quite often goes through a phase of navel-gazing, where certain individuals complain about how rubbish it is and blame others, without posting anything constructive themselves.  I remember it happening when Icy was around, certainly, and probably even before then.  It's nothing new.  There have always been fierce arguments, insults, abuse, trolls and posters who just wind people up, ever since Slade was in charge.  Not saying that's how it should be, but it's not exactly a new phenomenon.  People tend to have very selective memories.  If the overall number of posters or viewers has dropped significantly then I'd be very surprised - perhaps that would be a truer indication of whether or not things were really going 'downhill'.

This is the reason that some give you a hard time, please think about what you write.  My "average" is 0.18 ish, but when I comment it is usually football related and hopefully reasoned.  I'm 47, read the Fishy everyday and remember the "Electronic Fishcake" well (can you?)



Totally agree!!
A hell of a lot of keyboard warriors on here now who just wants to abuse and pick up on any silly grammar mistakes ect

Hypocrites!The abuse I received on here from certain individuals was disgraceful,some of them are now complaining of a lowering of standards on the fishy.
