Just Back  (merged)

Quoted from Swansea_Mariner

Exactly and hundreds of millions in the bank buys you Parkinson, I really don't know who people are expecting.

Would Harsley have done any worse than Hurst Arry, I think the question should be, would he have done any better, no I don't think he would.

Quoted from GrimExile

Well if you support GTFC why won’t you go to a game? You say you don’t like Hurst and that’s fine, but to cite that as a reason not to support the team is frankly ridiculous. If you support a club then you go to games assuming you can afford it and are physically able. End of. #UTM

Quoted from arryarryarry

He probably wouldn't have done any better, but it couldn't have been worse, we were relegated out of the EFL, therefore not Harsley but there may have been someone else who may have known some better players to bring in and sneeked a few more points than Hurst to stay up.

Quoted from Ipswin

Assumptions are dangerous. As soon as the treatment I am currently undergoing for stage 3 lung cancer is over and assuming my bowel and liver cancer remains in remission I might consider driving 145 miles each way to watch a National League match at BP. Failing that I hope to be at Southend, Dagenham, Barnet and Kings Lynn so perhaps we can meet up - I assume, if you support GTFC, that you will be at those games, won't you?

Quoted from Withnail

First of all I'll defend your right to free speech tooth and nail. It'd be dull as ditch water if we all trotted out the same opinions of the management and views of the game etc.

And I think it's absolutely fair enough if your interest has waned following relegation to non league - (again) which is unforgivable - to the point you can only summon up the enthusiasm to go to a game on the proviso it's within an hour or twos drive and that you're chaffeured there and back etc...

But, that all said, here's a hypothetical question...would you really stop yourself from going to more than a couple of games away if we're steamrolling our way through teams and riding high at the top of the league, while playing champagne football? Just because you stated on here that Hurst's appointment was a retrograde step? If so, it sounds like a serious case of cutting off your nose to spite your face. If this scenario played out I'm sure most on here would respect you a lot more if you admitted you'd got it wrong, and leant your unwavering support to the club instead.

I'll be honest. I wasn't overly enthusiastic when it was first announced that Hurst was coming back. It smacked of a lack of imagination. I can't think of another club that has returned to a former manager 3 times in the last 25 years, although no doubt there is one/some.

And yes, Hurst had a horrific start to his second coming, results wise, but at the tail end of the season he had us competing and beating the likes of Bolton - playing with both passion and a game plan. He was clearly dealt a duff hand when he came in but we've been over this so many times...and he's now got rid of a lot of the dross. Hurst has my full support.

This is a new era, the toxicity of the club has been banished, we're off to a winning start, witnessed by a bumper home crowd. What's not to like?

Ok, Weymouth might not be world beaters but we can only beat what's put in front of us. Admittedly Stockport tomorrow night will be a bigger test.

I agree that some may have gone slightly overboard in their delight at beating a team of part timers but after the last 18 months aren't we entitled to?

And to belittle those who have praised the food and drink at the new fanzone and enjoyed the match experience smacks of sour grapes.

Like I said, it'd boring if we all agreed all of the time but I'm curious as to what the purpose is of sniping from afar, constantly attempting to find fault and dragging others down by constantly being a dark cloud? Maybe it's just your schtick.

Quoted from Ipswin

Firstly I'm not that interested and secondly I have already made my position clear whilst Hurst is in charge. I certainly wouldn't drive to Grimsby and back to see a classic against Weymouth, pick up a free scarf and try a scotch egg, I might do Kings Lynn and Southend to see Pete for a pint if he is going and my lad drives.

Quoted from chipsandgravy

Your welcome to your opinion Vinny. Its the first game of the season on the back of a 10 day isolation period yet after just one game your using the words "out of his depth" and "poor decision making". First game for gods sake and your already writing him off. So yes that makes you a tool in my eyes. I think there is more to come from him and whilst not everything will come off I am quite excited about the times when it does. How's that?
