Moaned militantly when he was appointed as assistant manager and again when appointed manager and again again when not replaced pre season. Never rated him, never believed in him and never trusted him.
Just wanted to say prior to the season ending so that this is taken as genuine rather then as an emotional spasm that he has done a fantastic job under awful pressure And tough circumstances. He is a young manager who seems to have totally grasped what we are about as a club and has built a squad and an ethos we can all be proud of.
During a 24 hours of smug Shithead nonsense from the fans of Bristol Sport i wanted to thank DC for giving me some pride back in my football team. I also wanted to apologise for not believing in you and being so angry with you. I recently became a dad for the first time of a young boy and i hope DCs efforts can go some way to ensuring my son has a Local club to support in the future.
All the best to everyone for the last two games, the support has been unreal.

Only back part time as felt it important for me to post this as a matter of principle. :-) Did not want to post it after we won the league and may not have had the will power if we didn't go up.

Well said Dins. Very good of you to come on here and speak of your change of heart like that, a lot of people just wouldn't bother or would carry on with the criticism even if it's clear they're in the wrong.

Now its TBone's turn to apologise after calling DC the clueless one, we are waiting.... Listen, the bloke took us down,you know.And for that I will never forgive him,youknow. Listen, he has done nothing as of yet to make me change my mind,you know. Even if he you know,achiieves promotion, I will still have reservations about the man for taking us into this hell hole of a division. I have consistently called him clueless because of his tactics and team selections.We should be walking this league,but because of his love in for a certain player,we aren't.You know.
Listen, I stand by my words.Ididnt want him as manager last season.And I still don't want him now.You know.

Please get out of the habit of starting sentences with the word listen. That is all

You have made your opinions known on many many occasions and whilst you are entitled to your views I do feel that it was wrong to hijack a well intentioned thread by someone who is posting for the first time in a long long time.

On the OF and initially when this forum was created, I couldn't stand any post by you, dinsdale. There was always an argumentative tone and you always had to get the last shot in, however cheap it was. However, you did change and became a much more measured and better poster. Its great to read posts like this from people admitting they got it wrong, the antithesis of digging up old threads to cause trouble that happens so much. Good to have you back, whether you want to post regularly or not.

Good to have you back, whether you want to post regularly or not. Sad to read that as whist i agree i made mistakes in things i posted i also provided live streams from all council planning meetings since the first mem application almost a decade ago and recent q and a's. It wasn't all controversy. I think a key issue for why i stopped and will most likely refrain from posting in the future is that i posted about things people largely did not want to read about. A bit like the guy who talks politics and religion at the dinner table. I also as a 34 year old professional family man was embarressed by some of the things posted about me that my family and friends read and some of the bickering i got involved in. Time to stop. Anyway i slagged off DC on a public forum so only right i use the same forum to say i was wrong, thats why im posting.

I wasn't on the OF long before it was shut down, so must have missed some of the application stuff, it has been a long process. Its easy to say that last line, but many, many other posters wouldn't so you deserve kudos.

If this is about my post i have been pretty consistent in what i have said about DC since christmas prior to quitting forums and on twitter. I felt it only fair to apologise to him on the same format i criticised him. The guy has turned things around, its clear for all to see.

IMO and with respect, people need support and understanding when they are starting their managership, its all very well saying well done now were guaranteed the play offs and still have chance to win the division. You say "since Christmas" which is pretty much the time we hit top 3 and winning form, that is where my tag "fickle" came from.

I like to express views on players and staff its part of football culture as a fan. Sometimes you are right and sometimes wrong. My main issue was in how he was recruited not his background. I was devastated when we went down and felt it was the wrong call. Shows what i know.
