More Emmerdale circa the 1980's than Eastenders.
Boring and full of sheep.
That's not the fans i might add.
Don't know it could be eastenders. Jf thinking he was Phil Mitchell but turned out to be billy  and doing a runner from our manor  ; |

I do find that the players who think the crowd are hostile to them a little disturbing,
All the years I have followed the town I have always found the home crowd to be fair not only to our players but to the away players as well,
If they see a bit of skill they will applaud whoever that player is playing for,
If they see 100% effort they will applaud even if that player is not so skilful,
What they do not like to see is players not giving their all,
If the crowd turn a little hostile to that player it is nobodies fault but the player,
Put the effort in and you will have the crowd behind you,
I think we have 2 or 3 players that are lucky to be at our great club,
They should remember that and start giving a dam.

I think John has a point about certain players. He is probably referring to LJL, he took some terrible abuse earlier in the season from certain so called fans both on here and at Blundell Park. You only have to look at this thread as well to see what abuse John is getting from some not all. Constructive criticism is ok, but often it's gone beyond that. Shame he's gone from here.

I do not think that it is a good idea for JF to come a fans forum. Like the queen, there is a need for those in power to keep their distance from the masses. Others clubs do not do this. A fans forum is ok. It was only going to end badly.
If some players are frightened then they need to toughen up. Going to the Den in the 60s and 70s was tough.
We need to fight for promotion and maybe some of our players do not the right qualities to do this when the chips are down.

I cant truly believe that the actual John Fenty can't spell "Goodbye".
Good-by is an acceptable variant. The only thing that you can say about GYFR's usage is that he's missed out the hypen. |

Cheers John.. you tried and it was a good idea or so it seemed at the time but it can be a bear pit on here sometimes, and not really the place for yourself as senior director of the club to air your grievances. IMO you were only on a loser

John,
Over the past 2-3 seasons, this football club has drained the absolute life out of me. I'll support this club through thick and thin, I travel a 400 mile round trip just to make a home game. I've properly supported this club since that famous day in 98, since then i've seen little success but I tell you what I've seen some passion, some grit and i've been entertained. I've seen players like Pouton bust a bollock for the club, I saw Jevons score 'that' goal at Anfield, I've seen Andy Todd grab the club from certain relegation and I've seen a team do us stupidly proud by over achieving in the Championship year after year. I think deep down we all knew the clubs standing in the Championship wouldn't last forever, I can accept where we are now.
What I cannot accept, is the passion and grit that has been ripped away from it all. The entertainment that the current manager has drained from it, I don't like going to games anymore, I chose to do different things and I feel robbed of the club that I originally fell in love with. I don't really care if i've missed a 1-0 home win against Dover, the chances are I wouldn't had enjoyed it anyway! Then you come on here, you goad the fans who have stuck with this club through everything, you goad those fans who DARE to say they're sick of it. For a club who have fallen so far it's stunning that we're even this patient but I for one am totally sick of it now. I'm sick of going to a game, travelling 400 miles to get there and back, to see a toothless, heartless performance and then to top it all off, the manager comes on the radio and tells me it's my fault! It's my fault he's drained all the entertainment from the club i've supported for the majority of my life, it's my fault he sits back and plays shite, negative boring football week in week out. You and others at the club seem to think that we should just accept that? Who bloody cares if we 'got the result' when the fun isn't there anymore? Unless something changes we'll not have enough to get out of this league.
I have defended you for years, I dread to think where we'd be without you. But to blame the fans after the absolute shite you've overseen in the past 10 or so years is an absolute flipping insult to the time, effort, money and pain i've invested supporting the rubbish currently on show.
This is one of the best post's ever on this site. Completely sums up the last 10 years and how this appalling director / chairman has failed the club and its fans. If Fenty was a fan, he would admit he has failed, write off all debt and walk away to let someone with an ounce of sense take the club forward. The fact that he still thinks Private Negative is the man to win promotion, shows how deluded he is, slinging insults at fans, everyone should boycott! |

Can't accept appalling - he has clearly tried (but failed) to do his best for the club and, as a fan, it must hurt like hell to see where the club stands at present. Personally, I would like to see some humility, maybe an acceptance that it has gone wrong under his leadership. Maybe he should provide a clear, unequivocal statement of what he means by benign. Are these loans preventing others from coming to take over? I guess we'll never know. What he must now accept is that he has lost the trust of many fans - even some who have been supportive in the past realise that he has overstepped the mark by criticising the very people who have kept his club, no, our club, afloat. I guess many watched AFC Wimbledon last night and were reminiscing of nights like that at BP where we had the place rocking and I wonder whether we'll ever see that again. I pray we do but fear we won't. |
