1) Wrong thread. 2) Congratulations on winning the melodramatic poster of the week award. Problem is the "rose tinters" really need to wake up, as otherwise when it does all go Pete Tong they are going to be in for an hell of a shock, I guess from PH57's forum name like me he's been here before like him I am fearing where Wael's leading us. Wael`s not leading us anywhere, Topper. He`s the smiling front man, for a family whose intentions are known to nobody but themselves.

Rose tinters?
more like people that use social media and those that don't. The minority and the majority
I don't think there are many on the forums that don't believe something is going on. The trouble is there doesn't seem to be a coherent line on it
outside of the forums, what do the 6,000 (or whatever) other people know, expect to know etc.
The majority right now are seeing a lot of bad results.
'preaching' to the internet does what exactly? No one is being enlightened because of a string of mixed messages, innuendos and hints, but light on detail. If you expect us to all go and tell someone and they tell someone, it's Chinese whispers and whatever message there is, is diluted
crikey. Wael tried to answer a few questions in the bar apparently, but nobody could get everyone to shut up and it a handful of people heard what was said.
If there are serious threats to the club, than it needs a bit more than internet chatter and unrest for anything to come of it

I love the Gas and will always follow our fortunes and take a very keen interest. I'm not going to throw my toys out of the pram every time we hit a bad run, though. What actual good does that do? Even if it happens collectively as a fan base, it very rarely is a force for good. Opinions against DC or the players or the board are perfectly valid but surely need to be put across in a constructive way. I hate to read stuff like 'Lockyer should be stripped of the captaincy' as if he is a naughty boy, or that 'Sinclair has zero ability' or that 'DC is trying to get the sack in order to get a pay off.' These guys are trying their best, even if they are struggling and deserve far more respect for what they have achieved for our club. Important though this club is to all of us, surely we all have more important things in our lives? The level of vitriol expressed on here leaves a very sour taste for me, coming during our first seriously bad run after consecutive promotions. Let's not spread this poison and learn from what happened when we last got relegated from this league. The atmosphere at the home games towards the end of that season was truly horrible. If we keep our equilibrium as a fan base we may actually help our team to recover. If we lose it, surely we're only making the club's task much harder. Right on the nail fellow Gashead; to my knowledge nobody actually died at the game Saturday. Yes it was a disjointed performance and some players need to find a bit of form again; we the supporters have a role to play in this troubled time by encouraging them hopefully they will get their collective sh*t together. I actually missed the first goal and the following open goal miss; as I was getting myself sorted in the groundsmans hut after the act of Remembrance. I have been a bluetinter for many a year, supporting this club from some of the worlds biggest sh*tholes. I will never stop that, even if we were to become Rovers FC of Bristol and played on the downs. UTG

Obviously the next on the list of the Mem rebuild.

I sense with no mid week game this week's going to be another long one rumours wise. Assuming the info about Wael is not "fake news" I just can't understand why he doesn't put a statement online or even a Q&A type video with Keith Brookman.

I agree with Topper - IMO the rose tinters definitely need to wake up. You all need to pick one of any of the many unsubstantiated rumours and stop burying your head in the sand. For starters, any day now, Matty Taylor will be off to Hearts. And that will be a huge loss. I also heard from the corridors of power that Mark McGhee has quit Barnet and is in talks with Brian Seymour Smith about a takeover bid. Alright fine, it wasn't the corridors of power - I overheard someone say it in the West Enclosure. But he definitely sounded sincere. And anyway, none of this matters when you remember that nobody got paid last week. No wonder the performance against Wimbledon was so bad. My mate seen Ollie Clarke last week and he said the players haven't been paid for weeks and all that was on offer was some rusty fence. My mate said to Ollie "surely not!", but then he realised he was eating a can of Pedigree chum. Shocking. And before anyone lambasts that final snippet, I read about it on the Facebook Appreciation page so it's definitely true. Wake up!!!!!!! P.S If anyone wants any fencing done, let me know Is Marty Taylor off to Hearts? I knew he wouldn't last long at the 💩. Have that 🐍!

I'm a happy clapper, rose tinted, dellusioned supporter of DC, chose to support the gas a long time ago, ain't gonna change that and it isn't as bad as some might protest. To those who boo and abuse our players I say sod off and support that heap of crap South of the river, you will be in good company over there. i think it’s more like booing the performance,paying customers are entitled to boo if it is absolute sh**e The players get paid to do a job they are not doing,in any other job the would get the sack In any other job, they wouldn't be sacked if they were not doing their job. The reason is, employers would see the bigger picture. They wont see it so black and white as you do. Employers would recognise that a great job had done in the last 3 years, so know they are very capable of doing their job effectively. Employers would recognise that performances have dropped recently. Employers would then discuss and try and obtain reasons why they are under performing. Employers would have the bigger picture and see the value in the person and therefore invest time and effort to help get their form back up again. Of course, this wont be the practice for every employer. But you did say "in any other job".

Topper - whilst you critique Wael for not doing a Q and A... 1) Why aren’t your guys speaking to ‘us- the fans’ why are they so secretive? 2) What do you want him to answer? if there’s no news there’s no news... Hypothetically, if you could ask Wael 5 questions only. What would they be?
