Just Back

Please dont start another Brexit debate, I only used it as an example. But it is good to see that you will benefit the most from  the positive effect of brexit

Quoted from realist

No it means you dont have the depth of experience. Nothing personal when you reach my age (55) you might understand.  Have you never heard of a wind up though, you bite so easily? It is definitely not trolling though

PS I look a bit more negatively at the younger generation on here when they started blaming us for ruining their future over the Brexit vote. Consider yourself collateral damage

PPS I only want the best for this football club. I remember when I could hold my head high when I support The Mariners. I would sooner admit to being a Man U fan now.

Ok, cool. I'm 32 now, so i'm a while off being able to understand properly, but I assure you i'll be logging onto The Fishy in 23 years time when i'm allowed to have a proper opinion.

"Have you never heard of a wind up though, you bite so easily? It is definitely not trolling though"

That's pretty much the definition of trolling....but sure, great bantz m8.

Maybe go and support Man U then if that's how you feel. I enjoy being a GTFC supporter, despite the ups and downs (mostly downs). If i didn't, i wouldn't bother.

I have given you a green tick for your positive reply. But dont you get frustrated though? A new season, all the excitement of the first game. MJ has had a full close season tho pick and hone his squad. We get hammered. A reasonable away win then out the cup at the first hurdle. All I read is "needs time"  " needs more player" etc. For heavens sake every other team has the same opportunities but start better than us. I am not unreasonable in expecting more?

Snow flake an insult? Get real. Sod of back to Hull. Had if you had seen earlier posts I accused him of still being in nappies. Talk about a fun sponge

Get back in your pram, good god you really wanna watch your blood pressure, and to boot, the one thing I do is argue black n white with these amber n blacks,!!..I may live n work over this side but there's few people more proud of my heritage and my football club..
Oh, and I do apologise for the younger generation blaming you oldies for ruining the club....what a load of tripe, the clubs up shite creek because of bad management right through it's core....plus it's coincided with the demise of the town as a whole....and don't even attempt to insult my intelligence...it's not worth the embolism!!!

At 55 you ought to be more grown up than that.

As for Brexit and collateral damage....collateral damage usually means people near the target, not people on your own side FFS.

Anybody else get searched last night before entering.

I was searched by a female steward and had my ticket checked before entering and then had to show my ticket again at the top of the Findus steps as I went to take up my seat.

Hope this isn't going to be the norm from now on!

But surely you can only hone your squad, systems, tactics etc against proper opposition, in meaningful games! Pre season friendlies simply cannot replicate that!

That is why Year after year, league do not take shape until 10 or 15 games in!

We shouldn't really be overly judging this squad or the management team until Oct/Nov!

I'll give you a little ray of hope Hagrid. Fans like me in my early fifties and ones who are older have already seen the club at the best it can be in our lifetimes. You on the other hand have got time on your side, You'll easily outlast the present ownership of GTFC, a pleasure that the majority of us lot who have enjoyed more glorious times as a Town fan probably won't..

From that comment, can I ask if you think we have enough in terms of numbers, irrespective of quality?

Second question, what happens if FGR is replicated on several occasions then we haven't got any options to change the team until January? It's feasible that any team could be out of touch by the time the next window opens and we, with a smaller squad, would be very vulnerable.
