Question 20

There are one or two individuals with possible misguided or questionable loyalty who post an incessant stream of negativity and abuse especially sack the coach sack the board on Internet message boards. Is this at worse seen as an irritation or does it have real potential to damage the club if the latter what can be done to mitigate it.

Answer

Peter Hood

There isn't a potential to cause any real damage. But any message that are libelous would be pursued legally.

Steve McNamara

Some time the club could be a little more open with the fans. Sometime the message are a little bit irritable.

Dear me. OBN award.

Medders speil was pretty impassioned, he's certainly not going to rush any of the youngsters into the first team before they're absolutely ready. He's trying to bond a group of lads who will have played together for many seasons.
(BTW I thought Redeverreddy put Steve on the back foot with his Johnny Horton question)

The rousing, impassioned - and very POSITIVE! - speech from Medley was the most uplifting thing I have seen from the club for a long long time. Given the reception it received, I suspect I am not alone in that thought?

I will second that!

The news regarding Andy Lynch received a very good reception, and quite right to but the speech from Medders was very uplifting and deservedly received the best reaction of the night!

For me, his last few words in his speech really meant a lot (if I heard correctly) - "Its about Pride and and its about passion!" That summed up why people made the effort to go last night and why we should still follow he team through the bad times! Its about pride and passion for our club!

Definitely not, it was the highlight of the forum for me, well that along with the Lynch news. I was so pleased to hear him talk about wanting players to play with pride and passion, something which seems to be somewhat lacking on the field at the moment

So my question about MC Wiggy was ignored again!!!


The stuff on the OSV sounds a lot more positive. It's also good to read some of the answers that they didn't give. It sounds like they were genuine and honest.Says and means a lot that and leaves me feeling confident. Certainly contradicts a lot of the crap posted by some people on the internet (no one on here but some of the other sites are filled by complete plonkers).

Hood, Macca, Duckett and Duffy - and Medley, when they dragged him in - put themselves up in front of what could easily have been an angry and very hostile big crowd.

Whatever else people may accuse the club and its officials of, cowardice and dodging the flak are charges that cannot be levelled at them. It takes a pretty big and brave man to put themselves where they did last night, I suggest?

Just a thought.

I could maybe hazard a guess at whom is responsible for this question. There are certainly a candidate or two anyway!

FWIW, there is no question about my loyalty to the team whatsoever. The problem here is what each individual describes as loyal.

Some people clearly see loyalty being defined as simply accepting what is being offered up. Some don't.

This sounds like a very positive event all round and reading posts from some of the other naysayers who went restores much of my faith in the club.

Did anyone ask my question about the benching stats? Maybe this could go on the website
