Is this message board the problem

Post by tim_noone » Fri Dec 07, 2018 12:56 am

Everyone on the turf I heard last night was upbeat about the performance and got behind the team and Sean Dyche....one or two early leavers but to be fair we were 1..0 up.

The atmosphere at the game last night (generally not just singing etc) was very good and like a different clubs fans entirely to those who post on here.

All in unison. Supportive. Etc

You do realise that on Wednesday we played quite well and therefore the fans had something to support and get behind.

People moaning on here are doing so because quite frankly it’s been abysmal recently. Had we been poor the other night I’m sure the atmosphere at the game would have been similar to on here.

Hopefully they play well tomorrow and give us something to shout about again. If not, don’t be surprised if folk moan and grumble.

Some of us early leavers don't get home until 11.15, and are up for work at 4.00. I hated leaving early, but that 5 minutes could save me 20 mins on my journey time. I'm sure there are other legitimate reasons for leaving early as well.
Mind if we'd still been 1 up, I would have forgone sleep altogether.

I do usually see out the full game and show my appreciation if their is sweat on the shirt but I left as soon as Liverpool's third went in because despite us playing very well I was surrounded by scousers in the Jimmy Mac Lower and I'd enough of them quite frankly.

Do you have proof of that or is it just more hot air?

This message board is unequivocally appalling. I seldom view it these days never mind use it. There are no characters anymore and the issues for discussion on a football message board are disconcerting. I know quite a few people who have stopped using it because of posters on here who are nothing short of key board bullies and due to the horrendous topics for discussion. I hope sometime soon another message board can be put in place to compete with this board as it’s a shame that it has become a depressing and miserable place to visit.

Good neesaage board with lots of discussion and differing opinions. If you can't accept others have different views or will moan if the football is turgid or negative then you shouldn't be posting. I think too many are in the camp of 'by eck arnt we lucky to have a club we should never moan and stick by the manager indefinitely even if things are clearly not going well'. Whilst we are punching above our weight we are still a PL club and should be trying to retain that status and ultimately fans will want some sort of entertainment at some point which admittedly we had on Wednesday despite the loss. All this ' I'm a better fan nonsense because I never leave early and always applaud the team off' is a bit pathetic.

The problem is we’ve been shite and uncommitted all season. 1 work hard performance and the happy clappers are out if force whinging against the “whinges”.

Let’s see what happens Saturday. I suspect normal service resumed again.

With comments like that we can see why you are on here 2 minutes after a defeat slagging all and sundry off. Your mind set is clearly "we are rubbish" and even a "hard work performance" won't be changing your mind. That wasn't just a work hard performance on Wednesday, we played some good football against the second best team in this league.

I probably fall in to the, stupidly named, "happy clappers" section but I much prefer it as seeing the bigger picture instead of when we lose a game shout for our manager to be sacked. I watched the Palace game and we were truly awful, as we have been in a couple of other games so far but I can see when we do try and play some good football instead of looking at the result and shouting how sh1t we are. Take Chelsea for example, we played very well until we conceded but because we lost 4 nil it was all doom and gloom and Dyche out rubbish on here.

Anyway, each to their own. You keep being happy being miserable and I'll keep enjoying the best days of supporting my team in 30 years whist accepting there will be some disappointing days.

Ditto. I left at 90 mins to try escape the traffic snarl. Night roadworks on M62 meant I got home after midnight.

I think you are wrong there. You are working on the assumption that having a good moan on here in the cold light of day equates to being the same on the Turf. I don't think it is. This is the place to analyse, debate and scrutinize but on a match day most will still get behind the team, I know I do (and yes, for reasons I won't bore you with, I don't get to every game).
Look at the players, not just here but at any club, do you think they get all excited at Dyches team talks or at training, of course they don't, but they turn up in a different frame of mind on the day, and I think it is the same with supporters. People can moan as much as they want on here but I think in the main they will still be animated at the game (unless it's crap, which can definitely flatten an atmosphere at any ground).
