I don't know why you bother trying to have a thread on anything informative or objective as it always gets twisted into the same critical narrative and as he himself stated it's about him being right.

If some people want to spend there lives living in a world of negativity that's of their own making, that's their choice and there welcome to it.

I agree with all that. I think recent performances show what we are capable of and the fact that we have not produced anywhere near those performances on a regular basis is one of the reasons why people have been calling for Grix's head. Totally agree regards best attacking side in the league as well and its the faith that I had in this side at the beginning of the season that left me thinking we may need a change of coach and I am happy its come about, Im happy that it is on Grix's own terms, and I am very happy that he gets the chance to coach the team at Wembley. He is a Fax lad and I want him to suceed but us fans will be here long after these players and coaches have long gone and ultimatley I want what is best for HXRLFC and I still think that is what is happening.

I might be wrong, I mean it wouldn't be the first time in the last 30 years or so and won't be the last. I get that some people are really butt-hurt about Grix's decision to leave but you never know it may work out for the best and I remember back when Calland took over as 1st team coach after been assistant that he wasn't everyones choice but it turned out ok.

If everyone had the exact same opinions it would be pointless having a forum. Just because someone's opinion differs to yours doesn't mean they're wrong or negative all the time. Saying that mind, on Saturday in that there London I'll be supping real ale in classic London pubs whilst most fans will be on tastless lager in plastic glasses in plastic pubs. That makes me right. Right?

The dictionary definition of opinion is quite befitting for a lot of posts including myself on this forum

a view or judgement formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.
"that, in my opinion, is right"

Re: Joe Keyes : Wed Aug 09, 2023 9:21 pm  

For example my opinion was that we would beat fev , gfbs opinion was that we would lose and even if we did win it would be the mastermind of Liam Finn . Lol .

In all seriousness it’s always better to have an objective opinion than a subjective one , agendas come from egos and egos well pride before a fall and all that .

Re: Joe Keyes : Wed Aug 09, 2023 10:25 pm  

When the thread about Joe Keyes got started it was based on fact and knowledge and by definition is no longer an opinion.

It then got turned into a one having another dig at Grix, just the same as all the other opinions had been.

This fantasy world of opinions of course somehow stops the forum from being pointless.

What point or value is there in having an opinion that passes judgement, is fact less, knowledge less and being right on that basis?

Exactly this.

Some people are unable to accept other people's opinions and some people are unable to accept that they are wrong. Ive been wrong so many times on here (I'm sure some have probably scoured my posts trying to prove that like we have seen recently) but so what? Its an opinion on sport and the team I follow and like Hudd-Shay says it would be boring if we all held the same thinking wouldn't it.

Yes it is hard to accept the views of a biased opinionated person and I choose not to, like it or lump it.
Don’t have any further delusions to add to the rest about someone scouring your posts, they don’t have to, pick a thread any thread there all the same and nothing can be as boring as seeing 3 years of Grix trolling.
