Just to stick my two pennies worth in as I didn't get a chance to defend myself in the other thread.

There is no such clause in Maher's contract. My source being somebody pretty high up the echelon at the club is slightly more reliable than a friend of a friend of Darryl.

Secondly, yes I question players sometimes, as we all do. The difference being though that the rest of us don't carry it out in this stupid petty way of constantly bombarding the board with the same tiresome dribble. I said after the LDV final that Gower should've been dropped, but as he wasn't I got behind him and the realised that he was much improved against Orient which is what I said on here. You put your blinkers on though and completely missed that, preferring instead to ignore it and continue your one man crusade.

My view is that you should try to get away from your somewhat ignorant views and concentrate your efforts in seeing the good, and not just the bad, which is what you seem to do. That's all I'm saying on the matter.

Xabia i get the impression that like me you are jealous of youth being wasted on the young. Drivel? Well even the ' more mature' posters, myself included, have indulged themselves with a tad or two of drivel. Agree, disagree. Lock it, don't lock it. Its all good fun. A myriad of differing opinions with just one True Blue Core. United we stand...blah, blah...
Lifes too short to sweat about it. Lets all be glad that however much the fans disagree we all agree about what we want for the team. A future and success. A succesful future.

I see what your getting at but, at times, this bored becomes very boring with certain people repeating the same thing over and over again. Not only is it boring to read buts its frustating when people can't see both sides of the argument.

You might just be right. But I really hate to see something that Scriv and I started four years ago and become somewhat of an institution be dragged into the same mire that Jai's Shrimpers.net was hauled into a couple of years ago. Maybe I'm just being defensive of my "offspring" but it really does get on my wick ...

PS ~ And I appreciate that I'm not adverse to the odd moment of drivel as well!

 

[C'mon you Blues]

we all spout drivel from time to time but some people spout more drivel than most and then repeat themselves about 50 times. It's like Chinese water torture.:O

Indeed, Mike. I'm all for constructive discussion of differing opinions but some people just can't accept that. This board would be a far better place if such a policy was appreciated, although not necessarily agreed with. For instance, I think that there are many, many strikers better than Bramble out there but I appreciate that a fair proportion people think otherwise and I accept that. It's a shame others can't accept alternative views ...

I think people spend far too much time on this messageboard. For me, thats seems to be the cause of a lot of the problems associated with it, eg people spouting drivel, repetition, cliqueyness, you name it

Haven't put the blinkers on, just dont see what all the fuss is about Gower's performance friday night! I must have been watching a different game. I cannot see how he justifies a start in the team at the moment. Lets face it, Gower was poor in Cardiff and against the o's!

He just didn't seem interested on friday night, you could tell by his body language. Most of the people around me in the West were wanting him to be subbed off sooner (see it's not only me!).

As for Maher, well you know my feelings!

Lets just hope we get 3 points tomorrow.

becasuse they dont like it mate when people like me and you tell the truth.. they cant handle the truth 'cause they're constantly stuck up the clubs and player's ares'.
thats it, surely i deserve a yellow card now? and this topic must be locked!!

I'd advocate a complete ban to be honest. You are becoming pathetically tiresome be said.

well, go on then..

you and everyone else on this board do not like the fact that i for one see wrong in the team, and of course none of you do..

couldn't resist a little pop there mike?

i will forever continue to post my views on here, whether you like them or not.. so i suppose your stuck with it eh?

You are of course entitled to those opinions ~ I have already told you "off list". But you are also in much need of understanding that your opinion might and most probably will be subject to both scrutiny and criticism. To inform someone that they can "f**k off muppet" just because they don't concur with your own belief is not quite the stuff of mature debate. To take their views on board yet stick to your own opinion is far more constructive. At the moment your views are as far from the world of "constructive debate" as you can get ...

Can I just ask why has CSJ not received any cards and warned as to his future conduct on the board?.

I know a few people on here have received cards for a lot less than what he has spouted on about...

well people have to understand that they cant say that to me as well and that their views can also be subject to scrutiny..
im not interested in arguing about bullsh*t at the moment so thats my closing piece
