stop it you emos

we are fine. the fact that other clubs are leaps and bounds ahead of us at the moment is no big deal.

and if you have anything bad to say about how our local club is run then you should put your hand up for the board.

lol

Can somebody please report to admin that Macavity or Roopy has hacked into B-dos's account?

No, its the "if you have a problem, do something about it" argument.

Or even the "if you can see a problem, try to help them out in fixing it" argument.

There are a number of people on this forum who whinge and moan constantly about many issues - raising problems is fine, carrying on about the same issues all the bloody time is a waste of time and energy.

So there is no point in me writing them an email etc?

I still don't see what spamming an internet forum with your problems is going to achieve...but having said that...

For the record, some of your stuff I agree with - however, if you are passionate enough about what you stand for, you can try for the board and *really* do some headkicking and sort things out. Or of course, there is the option, as with anything, that enough is enough and you move on. I'm not suggesting that you are any less of a supporter than I or anyone else here - but there is a point of no return for everyone.

I too see a lot of problems - but I'm trying my best in my own way to help things along, at least for the time being. I'm giving the current admin and coaching staff as fair a go as possible, as I can see in some cases that we are getting there, and in other cases, people haven't had a chance to prove their competancy/incompetancy yet.

its just a discussion forum serc.

if it were all pats on the back and job well done's, it would be a pretty boring place to be.

i support the club and love watching the team play however i have no desire to take part in the running of the club. i still enjoy passionate discussions about what i think should be happening though.

i dont quite get the logic that one cannot get involved in such discussion unless they are willing to run for the board. its quite ridiculous really.

I was talking about incessantly spamming a forum with your whinges and issues with certain things. That is different to everyone having their 2c to share about a variety of issues. It would be equally as boring as a forum full of pats on the back and well dones if everyone posted that way (and many are currently).

The logic is that if you recognise that you're passionate about something over and above everyone else, then perhaps you should go to the next step to do something about it. Otherwise - please stop bothering everyone once the record has been played 50,000 times, as it gets just a little tiresome. Its like the kid at the supermarket that is constantly nagging mumsy to give them that mars bar they can see sitting on the shelf. Saying it 50 times or 5 times is not going to make any difference, and it just pisses everyone else off when you push past everyone's tolerance level.

settle down serc. i think youre going a little overboard with the allegations of spamming

the issues i discuss here are all relevant to the thread

my tounge in cheek post in this thread was just that.

you seem to get awfully defensive if someone holds a differing opinion to you own serc

if my posts upset you then just ignore them

in the meantime ill continue to voice my opinions on the issues i see confronting the club all without seeking membership of the board.

You're right, spamming is not quite the right word - you only seem to contribute the same negative stuff of late which i guess is what is getting to me. Maybe I'm just taking my frustrations from the emofest that is this forum at the moment on just you only - which is not entirely fair. Though you are one of the worst offenders when it comes to only posting negative stuff :p and snide & sarcastic posts taking pot shots at the club. I know you feel slighted by whatever the club did to you a few years ago (and fairly rightly from what I recall), but it might be worth just letting that go (on here at least) as letting us know on here eleventy times a week isn't going to make history change.

Incorrect.

My previous posts have all said that opinions are fine - just not the repetitiveness of the same ones, and especially if it is all that someone contributes.

if my posts upset you then just ignore them

I'm considering the ignore button...

And i usually avoid using it too, though by the same reasoning I should probably ignore half of this forum atm :lol:

Anyway I'll leave it there as I'm probably guilty of directing my frustrations at you personally again

I wrote a letter to Burro once and he either read it or trashed it. Smithy on the other hand replied a couple of times and was quite pleasant. People do listen if you have a valid point to put forward.

well i can tell you honestly that the debacle with the renewal of our coprorate box really has no effect on my general feelings about the poor state of the club in general.

but youre right, i do find myself playing devils advocate more and always happy to generate good debate as i think thats what makes these forums far more interesting.

Ok then no worries

Alright well I promise to try and not let my frustrations get the better of me :)

And Yoshy - I got one or two replies from Smithy last year too before he left. But of course its not necessarily the head coach you are looking for - the recruitment guy (Onslow) and perhaps others!

I can hear the faint sounds of "love is in the air" fluttering through the air.

It's good to see that despite all the arguments we have in this place that from time to time posters can develope affectionate relationships like B-dos and Serc have despite their difference's.

Well done guys and I hope you continue to grow together and treat eachother right.
