Little dick canary knows what I and many others think of him ,,,nothing worse than a " plastic" telling anybody what to do , least of all ,, real supporters .

To be honest, I don''t get to CR much these days but when I do, I can''t believe the pathetic atmosphere.

I guess it is a number of people discussing things, how was your breakfast, what beer did you drink before the game, where did you park.

To create an atmosphere, you have to be prepared to make a noise (I have a dreadful singing voice) in a fairly melodic way and sing OTBC at the right tempo and the right words. And you have to be prepared to leave the ground hoarse because you have done your best to create the perfect football atmosphere.

I''m not advocating going back to the 70''s and 80''s but in spite of the risk of violence, it did create a sharp atmosphere that led to chanting and singing. Terracing probably helped a great deal also.

Love them or hate them, go to Anfield and hear the scousers get behind their team from the start.

Of course if the game is poor there will be a reaction but that shouldn''t stop the noise.

And despite all the self congratulatory pats on the back, NCFC supporters are just too reserved.

I think the fans more than did their part last night.

No way this absolute classic should be slipping down the page......

This is in the running for best thread of 2016, along with a few other Lakey ones for his brilliant comedy effect. Was the Rudd/De Gea thread a 2016 hit?

Maybe you should double check ?

Not only that ... but I think that the OP should have the courtesy to respond to us all after he directs his vitriol at us 😳

The Rudd thread was funny, this one is insulting to real fans.

Getting back to the original point, though, and casting aside the question of whether LDC was simply voicing a firmly held conviction or was being deliberately obtuse, I suppose it comes down to what supporters can and should reasonably expect.

Looking at the medium term, we''re pretty much as we were 20 years ago apart from the fact that we are, seemingly, in a more sustainable position financially. Sure, we''ve had the peaks and troughs of promotions and relegations and there have been some seasons of genuine excitement (Lambert years and Wembley 2 seasons ago) but by and large we''ve probably not progressed much as a club, if at all.

Going back further, though, we''re clearly not performing to the level we did from 1972 to 1994: Wembley 3 times, Milk Cup win, finishing 5th, 4th and 3rd, 2 FA Cup semis, qualifying for Europe 4 times (in reality only once due to the ban). That said, we were, perhaps, not in the best state financially and we all know how it ended.

Nevertheless, the Club has clearly fallen back from those heights and, on the pitch, has become consistently mediocre. Probably for many who go week in, week out, what concerns them most is the apparent acceptance of that mediocrity and underperformance by those in positions of authority. Clubs of a similar size have shown that it is entirely possible to consolidate their position in the Prem and to actually compete with realistic chances of finishing in the top half and possibly getting in to Europe. We do not seem to show the same level of ambition and that is what drives the underlying frustration.

So, for the long-term good of the Club, what is better? Politely applauding in an insincere way another appalling performance or letting the team, manager and Board know that the current situation simply isn''t acceptable? For many, if they''re being true to themselves, it has to be the latter.

The point was about being lectured on how to support, from someone who is very rarely at a game.

I hear Carlisle is a nice part of the world. Could you get a dog or something and take it for some long walks?

Make sure you keep reminding people, not patronising to imagine that posters are unable to get "the point " themselves.

Maybe Lakey is a bit embarrassed about the thread, and we should stop posting in it, so it sinks down the page.Oh wait, oops....

[Lessingham Canary 99]

You might be right Morty, oops bump.

[lake district canary 4,531]

I said I wouldn''t comment on this thread anymore and am not embarrassed in the slightest. It clearly struck a nerve with people, so I backed off and any further comment from me would be pointless.  I wrote it, I stand by it. End of.

In some corners there is no such thing as good or bad attention, only attention ! maybe just maybe an apology is just around the corner.

Yeah, leave it now Lessingham....
