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. Think that there is a lot of truth in that. What I would add to it is that, as in all walks of life, the current crop of fans reflect the society we have, however good or bad you may perceive that to be. I believe that we do see a quest for immediate success and a sense of entitlement among sections of the newer generations and it can be no surprise that it is reflected on this and perhaps other forums. But, to be fair, that is really no different to when I, and others on here, were growing up in the 60's and my/ our parents thought we were rebellious etc. Think the big difference now is social media where you can get instant anonymous tish tosh out there to one and all. Not sure writing letters as we did when I were a lad would facilitate that sort of thing.📮😊 |

And to be fair winning back to back promotions then 10 th was probably beyond anybody's expectations yet many still Moan like hell. Can't please some people. |

To be fair, this forum can be similar to a heated argument in a crowded pub....
There's maybe a hundred or so people sitting about engaging in a quiet drink and an intelligent conversation, then on one table all hell breaks loose and there's a fight....
The next morning everyone's forgotten about the intellectual conversation, but they all remember the hostilities....

Not sure writing letters as we did when I were a lad would facilitate that sort of thing.📮😊 I seem to remember some time ago we ran a poll and our core demographic was middle aged men of around 35-50yrs. Agree that while we were better off in many ways when we were broke and desperately in the sh**e. There seems to be a proportion of fans since the takeover who expected the new owners to pour cash into us and are becoming increasingly frustrated and bitter that we didn't get our very own rosy faced twat. The childish hissy fits and sense of entitlement is embarrassing. Open your eyes and look at what we have and where we have come from. Yes, the UWE falling through was disappointing but I refuse to believe WAQ did it lightly. He must have known he was going to get slaughtered for it. Maybe it will turn out to have been an incredibly brave decision. I used to think we had a really great attitude as fans and we were always very different from other clubs, but we have changed. And it's very sad. |

There are definately a few on here who have set their sights on making it their goal to put this club down. I'm not sure if they're 'teds or are Gas with an agenda, but I wish they found time to do something else.

Some posters literally ONLY post negative anti board propaganda, rumors and out right BS. Nothing about the team, games or anything like that. You have to wonder..... |

At the end of the day, some Rovers fans don't want to see us succeed, they prefer us to be a rag bag club, happy to see us fail just so they can say 'I told you so'.
They would hate to see us climb the leagues and only care about that lot south of the river!
Yes we have NIMBY's etc, but we also have our own fans who just don't like change.
That's life I'm afraid!

Wonder why some start a thread, or numerous threads, with the sole intention of mixing it with nothing but false rumours, and then never comment again on the thread they've started. These are the posters you've got to question what their intentions are. |

After a while Millwall Syndrome becomes Stockholm Syndrome and any Teds on here will like us.

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. Sorry to say that I think that you are playing right into the Teds hands with this sort of post. At the end of the day who gives a flying f**k about the Teds? We settled the score in the KFC. Move on now please. Let's focus on the Gas. Another 3 points this weekend will be a much needed boost. KTF UTG |

I don't mind the moaning posts as they are just expressing their opinion and they care. it would be a boring place without the heated discussions. Sure but saying "We haven't got the money to pay the bills. The owners want out". Isn't an opinion is it? It's stating something as true on the basis someone said it in the West Enclosure and then pretending that that conversation was less inane than it really was by calling the West Enclosure "the corridors of power". Oh and then the several follow up posts that deny the things in the original post were actually said - those aren't opinions just lies. And then several posts that try and give a withering "Well if you know better" to people who don't believe those lies. Those aren't opinions either. I'm all for opinions ... just not protracted volleys of propaganda which have been being repeated since 2006 by the same person. |
