Is all this fuss cos we're not winning games anymore?

I see that a big problem stated is ticket prices. Fair enough. Agree with that.

But not sure what else is the problem. Fans were kissing his bum bum when he arrived and spent loads. It was fever pitch when we signed Rhodes for 10 million or whatever it was.

But that didn't work so we got penalised.

Then I see fans talk about needing to be being well run by not spaffing loads of cash and having a long term plan based on buying young / unproven diamonds in the rough and selling them a few seasons later for a significant profit like other clubs have.

Chansiri starts this season by not spaffing loads of cash and seems to be buying young / unproven diamonds in the rough with the potential to sell them a few seasons later for a significant profit.

Now fans want him to spend again. Da fuq?

Bad call with the new manager. Not worthy of all this fuss though.

None of this would be happening if we were winning.

I don't this is entirely true, lots of people had reservations about the scattershot nature of the signings, we brought in a midfielder who we didn't need (Abdi) and started the season without a recognised CB or players with pace. The Rhodes signing came at a time when we already had too many forwards.

It's nigh on impossible there though when you have the site dictator stoking one agenda whilst actively restraining counter arguments via repetitive online bullying posts none too subtly abetted by selective post deletions.

This is exactly what he does, I had a very lengthy argument with him over a non football matter, as soon as I proved him to be totally wrong he stopped me commenting on the thread then invited a pile on from his sycophants, the blokes a total goon.

Such a sad thing to see this looked like he was very well liked lad.

RIP Liam.

I expected opening this to a photo of perma tanned, botox lipped women scrapping on Ecccy Rd.

Does it matter who’s behind it? Just asking.

 

I bear grudges Terry and there are three individuals who if they are anything to do with it I'm out 😂

Adam Shaw?

Do you reckon he's the main instigator, backed up by certain undesirables?

If suspicions of who is behind (or backing this group) is true then I certainly don't support them, what last night did though was get Sky talking about the issue and I believe Talksport today, that can only be a good thing.

It's worrying that one of the better halves we've played all season was against the worst team we've played so far and a few changes (by them) got them an away point.

402 appearances and when we look back in 10 years time we'll probably be able to remember about three of them.

Depends who the fans are in question

 

I'd love to see Hargreaves and his fanboys bankrupted

That would be like the second leg of the play offs all over again 😂

It will probably have the same level of success as Saxon's air guitar world record attempt.

On top of many worrying traits yesterday the amount of times we cheaply gave the ball away yesterday was staggering, we must be so easy to play against.

My flabber is gasted. 
First half there were a few fleeting positives, I thought we closed them down quite well. But the attacking side of things was shocking again. Our attempts in the final third, or to get into the final third were awful. We gave the ball away sooooo much it was just horrendous.  BUT. They didn’t have to do much really to get beyond us, and their goal proved that. A simple ball down the side, pull back and that’s it. Not sure if the lad who crossed was offside, but, even so.

Then moments later there was a situation that incensed me. They did almost the same thing, and Palmer stood there with his arm up claiming offside yet the player who was supposedly offside ran past him while he had his arm in the air. 

We huffed and puffed a bit in the second half, but for the corners, for all the chances to cross, how many shots on target? Zero. I don’t even recall their keeper having a cross to catch. 

It was awful overall today. Little invention, a distinct lack of fluidity. I can’t say the players didn’t try. There was evidence IMO of effort, but it was so disjointed. We’re not a team of players we’re a group of individuals struggling to figure out what’s what. The ‘performance’ was typified by Delgado who on three occasions, but only penalised twice, for foul throws. 

Devis Vasquez though definitely earned his wages. A few fantastic saves. The one from Clark’s header was a worldy in particular. Or looked it from where I sat anyway. 

Xisco’s Owls still offer more questions than answers, and certainly not points. And it feels like the axe is looming. 

As much as this makes grim reading I can't disagree with any of it, we're a total mess.

Think of all the bad fans groups you can and this one tops the lot, it makes 'stalk look sane.

Sorry some may have missed the point with this post, I meant The Wednesday Sing tops the lot as it was mentioned in the comments I quoted, I didn't mean "this one" as in Owlsonline eeek.

I notice that CP doesn't refute anything that DC says in the statement just claims that he shouldn't have said it, enough said.

It's the usual thing with us. Players not in the side become prime Eusebio/Pele/Maradona when not involved. It's been happening for years, with Jordan Rhodes being the epitome of it. 

It always amuses me this, it happens so often, occasionally it's a younger player who should be given a start to totally transform our season 😂

It’s a Facebook group

Let’s not forget that Moore still hasn’t denied he was asking for the sums DC is quoting, his “it wasn’t about the money” was very clever wording.

I started reading it a 3 o clock and I've still not finished 😂

As much as he winds me off the clock I think what he says here sounds plausible, Moore is/was in the wrong.

Funny how you remember things, I could have sworn it was sack McGee to the tune of "here we go" in fairness they were my first games and I'm much younger than you lot 😂

You got "McGee Out" said with a bit of venom then "sack the board" to the tune of "here we go" - we were proper innovative back then 😂

One thing I will say for this 'group' are that at least they're trying to suggest things and want to try and do something,  regardless of whether you/I think that things such as this black bagging is a good one or not. It's at least a show of movement towards a protest of sorts.  While, social media is a place where opinions are shared, but personally speaking, I don't think until the wider media pick up on it, and start speaking to those involved to get a wider sense of their 'angst' towards DC and the running of the club, spreading their thoughts to a much bigger and widespread audience of, what their intentions and their reasoning for it, then I don't think it'll gather much more traction than it currently has. 

I still truly wonder how many people actually WANT to get involved with something like this and how many are that incensed by DC's actions. Personally I just want to watch the footy, and come home these days, maybe that could potentially be making me think its protests are not as supported across the fanbase as some are suggesting.. But who knows!

It's funny Terry that apart from some "McGee Out" chants after he refused to invest on promotion to the old 1st Division I can't remember being too bothered or knowing much about the board at SWFC when I first started following them, now it/they get talked about more than the footy at times.

Just had a quick read and OT's comments have made me want to smash things up, I'm outta there.

He shot down the first version put together in about 2014 or 2015. So quite a while before you suggested  a similar style thing. 

Apparently our cool kid fans would think it uncool.

But it is a good idea and I am not surprised there was positive feedback. 

My advice is don't read their thread. The fucking irony is said person is swiping down anyone that suggests the criticism of Chansiri - by some is not racist. 

Given I was once nearly banned for being critical of someone and it was construed as racist - the hypocrisy is mind blowing

If he agrees with what your saying he'll not accuse you of anything, if he doesn't he'll use every trick in the book to get one over on you, shite forum.

I'm convinced that the McClure's are behind or involved in this. They have just name checked Rev in response to being asked to state who has made offers for the club, when & how much.

 

Apparently these been loads of offers and he knows...

If those two dicks are involved it's no wonder they don't want to make that known, they'd empty a room quicker than an eggy fart.

Did he unpin the apology to Rachel Riley for his bullying and antisemitic comments?

Not sure I'm blocked, he also bullied Jodie Marsh, proper caring leftie.
