This Forum is beginning to sound and behave using the tactics that Millwall fans used to employ. For those youngsters who started supporting after the hooligan era, I'll explain. One Millwall fan would assume the attire of a Rovers fan and then get into the Tote End. For about 20 minutes of the match he would act and pretend to be a Gashead. Then, out of the blue, they would start punching and hitting all those around them. The confusion this created made Gasheads start fighting other Gasheads in the ensuing mayhem. So, one solitary idiot caused a major upset. That is what is happening here on this Forum. I suspect a Sh1thead has probably infiltrated us and is constantly spreading stupid rumours about takeovers, the financial concerns about the Al Qadi family, their family rifts etc. etc. NONE of us has any real idea what happens behind the closed doors of a board meeting. Maybe someone connected to the directors is leaking little tit bits every now and then (as with WW2 espionage.....release a few truths to give it credibility and then add loads of lies that you want to spread) but why can't we all just get behind our team. We have probably the best manager in League 1 (and probably the Championship!) We have a team of players who want to play for the Blue and White Quarters and , thankfully, we have a huge following of true Blue fans who get behind the team every week. So, can the moaners and the lie mongerers just give it a rest. You are playing into the hands of the Teds, who know we are coming up on the outside and they are running so scared they will employ any tactic to try to drag us back. When I started viewing this Forum is was useful, interesting, funny and well, everything you want in a fans Forum. Now, however, I log in, see the usual boring (We're doomed!!') topics. The longest I've spent on this Forum recently is now, writing this. Come on, let's get back to issues that are true and positive. Don't give the Teds any ammo to stir things up.

Most of the doom and gloom merchants are plainly proper Gas, and I would think they all are. They are just concerned about stuff.
Personally, istm better to show some restraint and not post every fear and anxiety about our future straight to the forum, but that doesn't make them teds.

Antonio There is clearly an element that wants to pick fault with every little (or large) thing going on within the club; they are of course entitled to their opinions but to constantly try to ram them down the throats of the rest of us is tiresome. I used to be an avid poster, now the contents of most of the threads bore the sh*t out of me. Just my opinion and happy to take part in a sensible debate with any fan; personally or on here. UTG

....after all, it’s only a stupid game! (Well that’s what “she who casts no shadow” says).
I love the gas to bits, ever since my induction aged 7, but more recently I’m of the opinion that we should treat it like going to the cinema; a special day out with other like minded people, possibly a fantastic spectacle, or perhaps not, overpriced food (hey ho it’s the entertainment industry) but with the added bonus of having a good old sing song and Squiffy junior gets to learn a few new words from the Blackthorn end. Yes I’m interested in what’s going on, but I honestly don’t lose sleep over any internal machinations. Just chill and enjoy watching whilst the goings good. UTG

I don't mind doom and gloom merchants if they actually have something to back it up. The problem is we have so many that either hear something third hand in the clubhouse and then spread it like wildfire on every social media outlet possible. It has become so tiresome it's no wonder quite a few us us are feeling a bit flat about the season. There's quite a proportion of our fan base that seem intent on causing rifts when there isn't one. I'm more concerned about Wael pulling out due to the sheer hassle of trying to run this club than any actual money issue.

For a while I've felt that the real problem is the way a short-term mindset has become the norm amongst football fans, including ours. There seems to be an overwhelming need for immediate success, and worst of all people seem to think they are entitled to it.
