Did I ever say that people can't express an opinion?
Most of my mates are Parra fans. We like certain players, hate others. We banter about who we would play where. Some like Brian Smith, some don't, others are giving him the benefit of the doubt. So we drink beer and have good old debates.
But if any one of my mates, every time he opened his mouth, used whatever was going on as an excuse to bag Brian Smith, he'd get told to pipe down pretty quick.
And there are absolutely people on here, who cannot find anything but criticism and personally, I just have found it very tiresome and I haven't even been participating. Hence my post. I reckon if I've said the same thing three times, if I haven't made my point by then, I'm a pretty useless communicator. Saying the same thing over and over again doesn't make for good debate, or an exciting forum, it makes for boredom.
Personally, I believe if Smith doesn't get Parra to the finals this year and we play respectably in the final series, I think he should go. Its a pretty firm rule in the corporate world that if you miss three budgets in a row, your gone and I think it should be the same with Smith, three misses in a row your out. But my post had nothing to do with the merits of Smith or how we're going. I simply hoped that some people might read my rant and think twice before they write the same whine they've written 20 times before.
There are anti-Smith people on here, who have my respect because they're prepared to argue their point with logic and concede points when they've been out debated. But I do believe there are people, who are more concerned with being proved right, than wanting the club to succeed.
And yes, I do struggle to come to terms with the fact of what enjoyment someone gets out of following a team if all they can find is faults. But yes, saying people wen're a real fan was obviously a bit much and I don't have the right to say that. But what can I say, I like to tip the applcart occasionally.
