I REALLY think you are over thinking this LJG mate!
I honestly cannot see the harm in this, if you want to look at is a bit of fun, great! If you appreciate a mans positivity and desire to spread that positivity to others, great!
I just cannot see the negative to what Rich posts?
Anyway, I am delighted to see yes running away with the win!
I am a HUGE believer in positive thinking in life in general , I know it seems like a hippy concept to most, but one day you too will probably appreciates it's worth.

Thanks for explaining in a bit more detail. Let me make it clear.
All I do is have some fun being upbeat about our chances of future success.
As fans I believe that we have expectations of our football club and what we would hope to achieve over a given period. Sporting goals that I use are very relevant to Bristol rovers and very relevant to what our fans might look to achieve. These targets are used in professional sporting contracts. Why can't we use them.
I happen to be upbeat, positive and forward looking. Not a belief system it's the way I am. Some are negative, not so upbeat and look back a lot. Some are in the middle. I
I am very hopeful that this season we can repeat what we achieved last season. It looks like a good start.
I may not have your vote but can we bring this to closure. I feel we might have a few spectators enjoying this banter on this thread. My friend, if I can call you that, (we are rovers fans) I think I have a ground breaking goal thread that I need to think about.
Most of all. It's a bit of fun. It's a forward looking set of posts. It makes me feel good writing it. It's focused on Bristol Rovers future success. Finally, many many want it to continue. I am grateful for the silent ones voting to keep this going.
Hope this helps and calms your worst fears. I really am not that bad. I've certainly met a lot worse.

I literally see the groundbreaking goal thread as a bit of fun; nothing more. Do I believe that what Rich/we write within the groundbreaking thread on this forum has any impact whatsoever on the pitch? Of course not. It's just a bit of fun; nothing more, nothing less. For those who don't want to partake, simply don't click on the thread. Roverdrive/JTS thanks for this. You beat me to it. Spot on. Dad and I and son coming on Saturday. Dad's got arthritis, can hardly walk, 88 years old and still a gashead.

Great result tonight. I'm as happy as the traveling fans. Have a great night. Why do you refuse to say what it is you're trying to achieve and why it's Rovers related? Dont worry fella he'll go all round the mulberry bush but will never explain

Don't worry fella he'll go all round the mulberry bush but will never explain I have explained above and so have many others. I can understand you not liking the explanation or not agreeing. I've no problem with people not liking the thread. As many have said, its not as complicated or mysterious as you think. Nearly 72% want the thread to continue. I'm grateful for the support.

I have not got a belief system. I have a few goals and a football club that we all love. Do I think that your thinking drives your attitude and it drives your behaviour? Yes I do but that is not a belief system it's just cognitive therapy. It's happens with all people. It's just good psychology that has been practised for years. Have you read chimp paradox? Sporting psychology at its best. Anyway, I guess you have voted no. Forum members do not play for BRFC - there is no need for Sporting psychology. We're not sportspersons. You continually refuse to explain how a positive attitude on an internet forum can impact a team of professional sportsmen who are not users of that forum. I can only interpret what you post. Your posts seem to say positive thought on this forum will help BRFC succeed. Since the two aren't linked I can only interpret that you hold a belief system whereby some supernatural medium imparts that from the forum users to the team. I haven't voted yet because you refuse to explain your belief system. I feel a few players do read this. If someone was gossiping about me in a place where I could see it, I would read it. I think many players would but that's only my view. Good thing about gaschat is that we are all so open and honest - the gossip has no hiding place. I like it. Thanks

But you haven't explained. You've just repeated yourself ... again. Like I asked you yesterday - in the simplest way you can please explain to me how posting positive visualisations all over match threads can affect the performance of the team. Look I just think it's a complete double standard that, as inee says, you're posts are massively intrusive to the match thread - you constantly post management speak platitudes with the only connection to Rovers being that you also happen to hope Rovers do well. What is the difference between that and constantly posting "I'm saying prayers to Jesus that we're in the top ten at Christmas"? Both are just constant repetition of your own world outlook with no connection to Rovers. I also don't believe that you're representing the true pattern of voting in your posts now. Yet another management-pop-psychology bid to influence the way others respond to this thread and consequently vote.

I just think it's a double standard that he's not only allowed to but encouraged to constantly post management speak jargon on match threads with no mention of anything to do with Rovers, the team, the tactics, the players, nothing. Anyone else doing something similar would be completely shut down by mods. Like I said if I post a load of Shakespeare or Bible quotes or lyrics from Notorious BIG on match threads I'd be given what for.

Sorry pal but you're wrong cause i regularly post complete bollox and i aint been "shut down" people choose to read it or ignore it! The only time i or anyone else should have 'modding' is if i become abusive and to be honest i think you need to chill out a bit - camman we're all Gasheads we all post sh1t now and again and we all must be f**kin bonkers anyway following the gas! So i you or Rich aint the only crayons in the box that need a wee sharpening!

OK Here goes. Not sure you will agree but here are the responses....
But you haven't explained. You've just repeated yourself ... again.
Like I asked you yesterday - in the simplest way you can please explain to me how posting positive visualisations all over match threads can affect the performance of the team.
(Lots of people do it. I've read them myself. Its just being hopeful - nothing wrong in that. Does it affect the actual players on the pitch? Of course not. It's fun though)
Look I just think it's a complete double standard that, as inee says, you're posts are massively intrusive to the match thread - you constantly post management speak platitudes with the only connection to Rovers being that you also happen to hope Rovers do well.
(I think we all hope Rovers do well. I have been since alan warboys, bruce bannister, Frankie Prince, harold Jarmen played for our great club. I bring a different view. I don't think we live in a police state yet. My view as as welcome as yours. I'm not worried about posts i don't agree with. My comments are not massively intrusive. I am encouraged by many others. Maybe not you but I'm OK with that. I'm a fan and I'm allowed to post until someone bans me. I can't see why. Why don't you do a poll to see if i should be banned for such acts?)
What is the difference between that and constantly posting "I'm saying prayers to Jesus that we're in the top ten at Christmas"? Both are just constant repetition of your own world outlook with no connection to Rovers.
(The link is always Rovers related. Not sure what you mean. It's not that complicated. It's just goals that we should aim at. Nothing more nothing less. Anyway right now it looks like I'm here to stay and looking forward to a few more goals.)
I also don't believe that you're representing the true pattern of voting in your posts now. Yet another management-pop-psychology bid to influence the way others respond to this thread and consequently vote.
(Fans can vote how they like. Can all the No's start voting? It would be very helpful. It will not take long click above and type no if you want the thread to stop. If the thread is not needed and we democratically vote no then I stop. It's that simple. As it happens it looks like it's a landslide. If you vote you will see how close it is! Bring on the no vote. There are not many of them. I think they have already voted already. I have got a feeling that you might not like the result but many fans do seem not to have a problem with it. I like democracy in action.)
Hope this helps. I have a feeling that we will not agree. I'm relaxed about that. Can you get off my case now?

What about posting Mandela quotes on match threads? Why will no one answer that? I like Mandela - he's a great leader. I don't think i should post Mandela quotes on match threads. Can't remember when I did that - it must have been a long time ago. Didn't realise it had so much effect. I'll stop that right now. I'm still happy.

Now that's outrageous, ban him instantly Not everyone agreed with Madela's acts as leader of an ANC who carried out bombings on public property killing civilians. It's not relevant to Rovers so why bring it up? I don't post Gerry Adams quotes on gaschat - I may or may not like him as a leader but why is it relevant to a Rovers forum?

Why wouldn't you think posting quotes of the leader of a militia might cause a reaction? This sums up my point very well. Because you don't consider what you do intrusive it doesn't mean that makes it a reasonable thing to do on a football forum. Why don't you just actually engage with the football club you claim to support and it's fans rather than attention seeking through posting irrelevant quotations?
