I read this forum a lot, and sometimes engage, but often just observe. I’ve just been quite irritated with a lot of the negativity and cynicism from some (this cynicism being well documented). But I have totally harped on about it too much, which hasn’t exactly contributed positively. And I am genuinely sorry for that. I didn't accuse you. Now who's acting all oppressed.

You kind of did accuse me with the “both of you are as bad as each other” line. But I appreciate the sense in your post. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If people were honest enough with themselves they'd acknowledge that there is very little that they know enough about to form an opinion. But everybody can think about anything. 99% of the content online is nothing more than thoughts, it is the viewer who interprets it as opinion.

Vinny Green Balls Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Love his ambiguous wording. “Confidence among some” is the new “people are saying”, which was the new “I am gong to pull something out of my ass but hedge it a bit.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PlymouthGeordie Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 If Ryder is right and the player is actively pushing for the move, I would expect this one to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is really how the constant complaining in much the same manner and daily ... essentially makes the thread painful to navigate. But like I said already. It's just the nature of the beast. Best to just quickly look over those type of posts and not bother engaging. It doesn't lead to any kind of decent discussion anyway and just actually makes things more tedious. He used the word opinion 3 times mind. Safety smiley. But yeah. Complaining, Complaining about complaining, complaining about complaining about complaining...

1964 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 The biggest problem is when people mistake opinion for fact. It's pure flat earth Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffee_Johnny Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Opinion basically means the same thing as thought. Neither are necessarily knowledge or fact based. Makes more sense to contrast both with overly firm beliefs being espoused as facts. Fuck me, what am I typing this for. Just get the lad signed already.

Watford will be getting a good fee for someone who is still pretty raw, I think they will be happy enough if it gets to around £25m which is certainly more than anyone else will pay.

Gallowgate Toon Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Has there ever been any real indication we're after Ramos, apart from that one journo (which then got parroted by a bunch of news curation feeds)? Seems like agent talk, more than anything, as multiple clubs have suddenly taken an interest in the lad at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
