  1. [quote user="Silver Canary"]Gary Megson is an old Norwich player and he is available. He took WBA up twice and his squad was good enough to stay up last year. He should never have been sacked. Not sure if he would want to come here though.[/quote] Silver Canary, you have truly shown your colours here. They''re blue & white not silver. Why don''t you clear off to Portaloo road where you belong? 
  2. I want us to get promoted, isn''t it the ambition of all supporters?
  3. We''re desperate for a quality midfielder, preferably one who can win the ball AND use it. Hleb of Arsenal is the  man for me.
  4. [quote user="LinkNR9"] The difference being, Kenny, that ALL of the protesters made their point in a good-humoured and peaceful manner - as underlined by the police - in contrast to some KTF''s, who were aggressive and abusive.  Incidentally, how do you know that the protesters are ''a minority''. As Squit would say on this Board, can you back up that statement with FACT? Has there been an official poll or survey? You cannot say that the WO''s are a minority for the same reason that I can''t call the KTF''s a minority.  [/quote] I wouldn''t need to have a degree in mathematics or run a poll to work out that around 500 people is clearly a minority of a crowd of around 24,000. I''m not talking about people who may want to see Nigel Worthington removed in the near future, I''m talking about the people who went on the protest ''march''. By the way, aren''t you being aggressive and abusive to the manager?
  5. [quote user="Silver Canary"]I don''t believe it - a lucky draw in which we were outplayed in the first half and all of a sudden everybody is predicting a win! Will you never learn? Worthy out![/quote] Can we have a ''Silver Canary out'' demo on Saturday please. He''s clearly a blue.
  6. [quote user="Citizen Journalist Foghorn"] he is my player of the season.  The doc had a good first half of the season but hasnt been anywhere near as good of late.  He seems to be going back to teh manhandling player of last year giving away free kicks around the box by the bucketload. Pauo McVeigh has been our most industrious player (when picked) and has numerous goals and assists (considering how little time the manager plays him) [/quote] Steady on Foghorn. Isn''t industrious a Nigel Worthington word? Are you changing sides?
  7. [quote user="Alex Harvey-Jones"]I see Worthy made another comment about the atmosphere after the Leeds game: "Elland Road is a magnificent ground with a wonderful atmosphere" I know he was a Leeds player but is this really necessary?? It seems like he is making a point about the atmosphere at Carrow Road![/quote] Can you explain why he shouldn''t have a dig at the WOs? A few people on this board do nothing but slag him off whatever he does, change his name to ''Worthless'' etc, and all from the anonymity of a message board. I doubt he was having a dig, but if he did choose to why are you unable to take it? Reminds me of a week or so ago when the minority took to the streets, and after chanting derogatory slogans, they were aghast to find that some people chose to disagree with them and told them what they thought of them.
  8. [quote user="Jimaldinho"]Good SECOND HALF performance![/quote] and your point is?
  9. I think I probably am a WTFer, but nobody has actually truly defined what a KTFer is. I always thought it was KTF with the club, but the WOnkers have turned it into KTF with Worthington. Maybe I''m a KTFer?  I am Norwich ''til I die.
  10. [quote user="LinkNR9"] Dear God, what a frightening thought! The genuine question I asked still hasn''t been answered.   [/quote] Sorry didn''t get back sooner Link but I have a life to lead, which seems to be more than can be said for some people on here. My point is that most protesters on this site have said they will continue to protest every week until they get their own way and get Worthington out. It''s not going to matter to them whether we play well or badly, whether we win, lose or draw, they have made their minds up. So what they are declaring is they know what is best for the club, not the board or the majority of supporters. This amounts to trying to force a minority view on the club. The unfortunate thing about all this is that all it will do is make the board dig their heels in, (wouldn''t you if someone was trying to force their views on you) and make it far harder for them to come to a sensible decision about the future running of this club in a rational way.
  11. [quote user="Nigels Tic-Tacs"] Nigel Worthington could not manage Blackpool and hes not fit to be Norwich manager , i hate the sight and sound of him the sooner he goes the better. [/quote] Very constructive
  12. Before I''m branded I''ll state my position once again. I''m not happy with the way things have gone this season, but I''m not going to protest, or remain any quieter than I normally am. I have like 15,000 others renewed my season ticket. I see no point at this stage of the season in removing the manager. This does not make me a ''Worthy inner''. It makes me someone who is prepared to take the rough with the smooth, keep supporting the club and let the people who run the club get on with it. Interested in your ''shot down'' statement. So what you are saying is that if someone doesn''t agree with you and you respond then they have been shot down? Are you the arbiter of all that is right or wrong? I joined this messageboard after reading the comments in the EDP about what was being said about protests etc. What I have noticed is that most of the moderate voices on here are quite-recently joined members like myself, which leads me to believe that around twenty regular posters have worked themselves up into a ''Worthy out'' frenzy and managed to gather a couple of hundred like-minded people and a few hundred more attention seekers (judging by the video on another thread). I expect most of the regular posters were overjoyed that they had attracted some attention to their cause. Now that they have attracted some people who don''t agree with them they are not so happy. What is very clear is that a few hundred people were prepared (for whatever reasons) to stand in a snow flurry and protest. That''s fair enough, you''ve made your protest, the board may or may not listen, but by continuing to protest until you get your own way you are effectively saying that you want to run the club. If you get your way and we get a new manager and he is as bad as you think Nigel Worthington is will you be protesting until he is sacked. What it all boils down to is who we want running the club. Do we want the board who have a good deal of experience and may have made mistakes, or do we want a few hundred people who like the sound of their own voices dictating affairs, who even if they got their way wouldn''t have any agreement as to who they would replace the present manager with.  
  13. [quote user="Citizen Journalist Foghorn"]totally agree, it is much easier for me to go to a protest before the game...  after the match I wanna get back home as soon as possible to miss the traffic..[/quote] The whole idea of protesting is that you make an effort or do something out of the ordinary that proves you care about something. Only protesting when it''s convenient doesn''t really do that does it?  No wonder nobody is taking much notice of you.
  14. [quote user="Phatcanary9"] Well done to the fans who had the bottle to stand up and be counted today, no abusive chants or bad behaviour from us protesters at all just passion and determination to get our voices heard! As for the question of numbers, BBC said 400, well i had 400 worthy out posters that myself and my daughter handed out at the bridge and as we walked to the stadium and i had about 35 left in my bag when we got to the ground which were soon snapped up, i was at the front of the protest outside the ground and looking back behind me i would say that about 1000 would be a more accurate number.WELL DONE ALL INVOLVED!!One final thing on the protest, to the guy who walked by and suggested we were all "ducking bankers" my 12 year old daughter says thanks for proving a point! As for the game three points, no atmosphere, drab performance. [/quote] Just think. You''ll be able to tell your grandchildren " I was on the Carrow march"
  15. [quote user="Matt Hudson"] While the numbers were not as high as some campaign website posters had hoped for many of those not joining in the demonstration still supported the protestors with only one that the EDP could find who disapproved of it. This quote from the EDP seems to show that there are not many worthy lovers out there. The EDP arent going to lie and so it seems the worthy out brigade is significantly bigger than the 300 , the worthy lovers think it is. I reckon that there were well over 500 once the protest had been going for 10 minutes, more arrived because either they were late, knew nothing about it beforehand or were waiting to see numbers before joining in. [/quote] ''Knew nothing about it beforehand''  Did they come from another planet? ROFL
  16. Seeing Kenny Foggo. I''ll bet he didn''t recognise the Barclay. He used to be able to hear them.
  17. [quote user="John Boubepo"][quote user="Scole Canary"] Well, what a hero you are! None of us like the position we are in at the moment but that is football.  Not every team can be at the top at the same time, but that still doesn''t stop me enjoying every matchday.  I''d like to type more but I have got a restaurant to get to.       GET A LIFE!    [/quote] Now doubt if the restaurant serves you and your good folks a cr@p meal, you want bother to complain then Scole? [/quote] I expect he does complain, and I expect if it was that bad he wouldn''t go back to the same restaurant. I doubt he would stand outside the restaurant with his wife chanting ''Chef out'' and then write to a message board claiming a protest of 50 people.
  18. 24,000 at the game. 400 protesters 3 people who have chosen not to go to games. I still make the silent majority around 23,600. If more people didn''t turn up the board might take some notice, but clearly at the present most people love following THEIR team.  
  19. Of course I''m pleased we won today. Anyone who isn''t is clearly not a true City fan, and don''t respond with all that ''we need to lose to get Worthy out'' garbage. The ONLY important thing is that Norwich win. It has come to a pretty pass when I hear ''supporters'' saying they were disappointed that we had won, because they had agreed to demonstrate again if we lost or drew. The trouble is that the only thing they are interested in is demonstrating, hence all those posts about how many people were at the demonstration. If we won every game between now and the end of the season (highly unlikely) won the play-offs (even less likely), and romped the Premiership(now I''m really dreaming) they would still be demonstrating because they''re losing sight of the issues and getting wrapped up in the glory of their demonstrating. No, I''m not a Worthy inner (whatever that is), neither am I a Worthy outer (is that wet weather clothing?), I''m a Norwich supporter who has been coming to games for more years than I care to remember, and will continue to do so whoever is in charge, whether we win or lose, whatever division we are in. There have been worse times than this at the club, there will be better times again. Get a grip of yourselves for goodness sake.  
  20. [quote user="jas the barclay king"] http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v214/jasbk/protest.jpg that will confirm there were more than 400... nearer 2000 i reckon.. Archant/Pinkun feel free to use the picture for your own purposes if you want.... jas :) [/quote] There were more people queing for pies when I got inside the ground
  21. I think most of the people on this forum care about what happens to OUR team.  I wasn''t saying that you don''t have a right to voice your opinion, neither was I sitting on the fence or claiming to be a better supporter. I clearly said I wasn''t happy with the situation. I was merely suggesting that some of the things suggested in this forum for inside the ground (like not singing) will be counter-productive for the team. they need all the support they can get.
  22. I may be mistaken, but it seems a few people might be a tad upset with our form and the manager''s part in it. Well, so am I, and we all have a right to our opinions. Write all you want on the message boards, protest outside the ground, go to Mr Blower''s sad little gathering and rant, but please not inside the ground. There have been some crazy suggestions on this board by so-called supporters about not supporting the side. That will do nobody any good. If you want to be called a supporter then support the team at the game. If you want to be a customer then take your custom elsewhere.  
  23. [quote user="Citizen Journalist Foghorn"][quote user="2nd Wizard"] Struggle through the snow to rendezevous with old Roy (hot and cold) Blower on Thursday? You must be joking! No agenda!  Endless rambling speakers trying to out-rant the one before (and in a church), no thanks. Shame the beer festival isn''t on, Blower could try and organise a piss up. Then what? A protest group on Saturday outside Big W (how appropriate) with no idea where to go next. And on top of all this you all want to criticise Worthlesses team tactics and methods. No wonder Skipper is quaking in his brogues.   [/quote] actually the meeting on wherry road outside the swimming pool and going to march around the ground at around 2.30 I beleive. [/quote] Hardly the Jarrow march is it? Should we bring sandwiches, it might be a long day.
