Lord Football
Blues on Tour
I was on the Zoom call, spent the first 30 mins off camera coz I was eating and came in at 40 mins. I am on my fourth lockdown beard and desperately need a hair cut. Not I am a pretty picture at the best of times :)
This is the fourth time I've been in involved in one of these meetings. I usually find him quite personable, but this time I didn't. I thought he was surly and combative.
The real difficulty I found was doing this via Zoom. I know there isn't an alternative at the moment. You can't really judge the mood of the room and its very hard to get into the debate. I thought he picked out the youngest member of the panel, and that didn't come across well at the time. I don't know what everyone else thought.
I got a bit ranty because I felt I was talking to a brick wall and being told stuff we'd discussed several time before that really have no relevance. And yeah, I fell into that trap as well.
I think, going forward, a smaller number of attendees would be helpful, but also a bit more than a few days notice. Everything was a bit rushed - but that was to be expected given the circumstances. I thought all the supporters came across well, but handling Ron is a bit like nailing jelly to the wall.
I am banging on about openness, transparency and honesty, so videoing the meetings unedited is an excellent idea. People can see how difficult these are sometimes - and of course, we're all going to have different opinions.
It's a start.....
