If the manager, players and directors all look elsewhere then we'll be looking back on this as a glorious era.
fcing hell it's hardly the great Roman Empire someone send for Brutus, Hail Brutus!! GTFC was a once proud club with good honest players who would run through brick walls. Fenty is only a custodian I have supported this club over 50 years long before he was here seen the highs and lows but none as bad as the last few years. I WILL NOT GROVEL to anyone if they feck off it's to their faIlings Rob NOT THE FANS. Certainly not a few on here. |

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.
Unquestionably one of the best posts I've ever read on here! Well said. |

Totally agree Chaos, GTFC is still a great club, a club of status and one with a history to be proud of, that level of pride can be restored
quickly with the right people in the key roles, but that situation seems a million miles away, if the club isn't allowed to self destruct
it will return, but not under this regimes turgid footbalI IMO
But before that can happen the people running it need to be able to develop some insight into the impact of their actions,do you think they have the ability to constructively reflect.I don't I consider that they have developed a siege mentality and this manifests itself in dogmatic defensive responses as we are currently witnessing. |

Does JF not see the contradiction here?
"Never once have I blamed the fans for anything.
Like it or not, BP is hostile for the home-side according to some players."
If that isn't blaming the fans I don't know what is.
The problem with him posting is that he chose the wrong name. Instead of GETYOURFACTSRIGHT it should have been ICANTFACETHEFACTS.
He has spent upwards of 10 years avoiding the issue that under his control the club has gone downhill at speed and has shown little sign of reversing the trend. I am sick and tired of the "let's accept we are in the Conference" and "automatic promotion is still possible" stuff. If the man was serious about improving things he would stop trying the run the club like his business and sit down with people who know how to plan football progress.
He would look back for guidance and see how Buckley made the marque signing of Garry Birtles when we were in the dumps and so inspired the crowd and players alike. He would storm into the manager's office and ask him why on earth he has wasted his money on yet another "promising" squad player. He would snap back at the sniping players and tell them that it was their job to build the support not the supporters and maybe they should start by buying a huge mirror for the dressing room wall.
He might think that leaving the Fishy as a poster is a good idea. Maybe it is. But it won't stop people who have supported the club through thick and thin and seen it suffer under his stewardship from reminding him of the facts even if he can't face them.
