Happy Face Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 This really is the time for some responsibility across the piece; for players not to indulge the media by giving them yet more "time for action" quotes and more pertinently to quash any talk of new contracts.....Steven. For supporters, just provide support and encouragement - and bums on (or near) seats. Oh aye - and stop writing shite on message boards and spouting on phone ins about matches you haven't been to. None of our games after City are televised, none of our games are sold out... Even if it is just a veneer of unity, we need to display a united front for the next two months. The recriminations can begin on May 12th but until then it's a case of battening down the hatches and hoping that the next visit to Merseyside that closes our season will be a dead rubber. We've watched on as we went down before, but the only time it came down to the last game was at Filbert Street in May 1992. Memories of the intolerable pressure of that day and the events on and off the field still provoke an involuntary shudder... KK saw us through that day, but his current squad are showing little of the fight required. So far. http://www.nufc.com/2007-08html/2008-03-08liverpool-a.html Well said chaps Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest icemanblue Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 Why is there such a 'them and us' view of the boys at .com on here? The fact is, there is a hell of a lot of shite written on message boards (this and others) by those who neither attended, nor saw the game in question. It's a fair point, why can't it be taken as such? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that's been to 62 games so far this year has exemption. plenty of people who religiously follow home and away come on here and can barely string a sentence together never mind give a reasoned analysis of the game. then there are posters like tmonkey or ohmelads who i think go to matches less yet are recognised as the best football posters on here and whose opinion i'd rather hear than nufc.com 9 times out of 10. nufc.com does a great, great job as a factual resource, tickets, televised games, archives, match reports etc. but the opinion pieces are no more valuable than any given poster on here. going to x number of games doesn't grant you perspicacity. you can go to all games including reserve and academy matches and still be thick as a bell-end and full of shit, likewise you can go to a dozen games a year and still have brilliant insight. there's good and bad on the forums yet .com consistently take the position that they are somehow above that and holier-than-thou, which refreshingly you don't find on here.

mrmojorisin75 Posted March 13, 2008 Share Posted March 13, 2008 i can see the point about phone ins like...they're heard by people who don't necessarily know anything about the club/team/city and get taken as a yardstick of opinion for any club in "crisis" as johnnypd says some regulars are thick as shit, yet the thick as shit ones seem to be the ones with the irrepressible urge to call up 30 seconds after a defeat and call for the managers head can't see the same parrallels with writing on MB's...people have to seek it out and those that do are likely to see a more balanced set of opinions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do find a lot of shite spouted by people that haven't even been to games though. find a lot of shite spouted by people AT the match. and as dave points out, there are ways of watching basically every game. for instance it's pretty rare for US fans with the cable setup to not be able to see a game. Alan Oliver has been to every game this season and i am yet to find anyone else who approaches his titanic levels of crapness. I'm not saying i disagree with them, forums are full of people so there'll be crap said, just as the stadium is full of 52,000 fans and you'll hear an unbelievable amount of shite there too. inevitable. i just find it grating how they harp on about how feeble, nerdy and bollocks message boards are when they're just like any given poster on here, putting their thoughts out over the internet (only it's less pompous on here).

Fair point like. Though I reckon they'd be more concerned by threads like (and I'm making these up without checking) "When will Keegan Walk?", "If Martins doesn't start should Keegan be sacked?" and "Mort and Ashley have really fucked this club over" rather than the merits of individuals on pitch performance..
