norfolkbroadslim 223 Posted December 16, 2017 [quote user="Feedthewolf"][quote user="lake district canary"][quote user="Rogue Baboon"][quote user="Duncan Edwards"]Hello!! 👋🏻👋🏻👋🏻Hilarious to see grown men wallowing in delight at a defeat 😂My four year old has got more self respect.[/quote]Who has wallowed in defeat? People are just pointing out what a moronic post it is, and the post is getting the exact reaction the poster wanted it to get...[/quote]Moronic post? Really? I get that people don''t like losing, neither do I. It was only two or three weeks ago I posted on a Saturday that I could barely bring myself to sit and watch a match, the performances were getting so dull - but you couldn''t say that today. I may be an armchair exile, but the same principles apply as any supporter - I comment as I find - and today I thought we played well in a tough game at a tough venue. [/quote]In isolation, I agree with your analysis of today''s performance Lakey, but it''s within the context of one win in nine that it winds people up. Yes we played pretty well today, but we failed to score again, and we lost again. As I said in my previous post, four winnable matches coming up - and only wins are going to allay the mounting fears of our supporters.[/quote]^^^^THIS^^^^[Y][Y][Y] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Making Plans 936 Posted December 16, 2017 Sorry but you can''t keep going on week after week that we played well but lost or that we created lots of chances but didn''t score.This is not due to luck or dodgy decisions by the ref. Sooner or later the penny will drop and more & more people will realise that there is something fundamentally wrong.Football is a game that''s all about scoring and winning, not hard luck stories.

city-till-i-die 7 Posted December 16, 2017 Crap. Lots of the ball and no penetration as of many games this season. It’s stale already and teams have worked us out. ZzzzzIt’s so boringReality check. 1 win in 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nutty nigel 7,534 Posted December 16, 2017 The way I see it this is the price we pay for making the changes so many wanted. There''s definitely been improvement in our attacking play the last few games but it''s nowhere near the level we were at under Alex Neil. I remain patient because of the scale of change. The changes have been made with the intention of laying foundations for the future. The players seem happy to buy into this which is a plus. Seeing young players nailing down first team places with the real possibility of more to come is another plus.My negative thought tonight is 3-3 last season or at best we could have got 0-0 this.

Hairy Canary 703 Posted December 16, 2017 Big concern that people''s identities are being revealed tbh. It''s important to many, myself included, that they can post in anonymity.How is it possible to discover someone''s identity anyway?Two wrongs don''t make a right.

Van wink 2,994 Posted December 16, 2017 I would imagine its against the code of conduct.Didn''t the same thing happen with old Ron Manager.It looks as if we lost a good poster as a result of that.Bad form imo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nutty nigel 7,534 Posted December 16, 2017 It seems double standards will always prevail on here. Baldy chucked Edwards out there and I chucked his name. Others joined the dots. It happened because Norwich lost so posters came looking for a sanctimonious happy clapper. It seems some posters want immunity from their own standards of posting. Including you Hairy...

Hairy Canary 703 Posted December 16, 2017 i don''t have time for one of your drawn out tactical diatribes Nigel, arguing the semantics of who actually said what in minute detail in order to avoid confronting the nub of the issue being discussed.Nothing to do with the result as far as I''m concerned. Simple fact is he shouldn''t have named you and you shouldnt have named him, however you want to twist things that wa wrong and will remain the case. I''ll leave you to it.

nutty nigel 7,534 Posted December 16, 2017 Indeed. But as Hairy pointed out it was the second of two wrongs compounded by you and Tilly joining the dots. I have never argued that I wasn''t wrong to do it. But that''s the way I post. I''ll play wherever the others want to play. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Edwards 2,236 Posted December 16, 2017 Can I just ask - not trying to be inflammatory - but why would anyone be worried or care if somebody knows their name? I can only think that it’s because they post differently to the way they are in person (not true of Baldy or Nutty btw). What other benefit does anonymity provide?

The benefit is a degree of security. The internet hides all manner of nasties so if some nutter wants to cause you harm it stands to reason it''ll easier to find out all about you with a name to go on. Sure, it''s probably a right faff if it''s a John Smith you''re looking for but it can be done. It''s scarily easy otherwise.People don''t help themselves of course. Posting messages on social media waving bling around on a sun drenched beach must invite a visit from Burglar Bill and what possesses people to post pictures of their kids on open sites I''ll never understand.

Van wink 2,994 Posted December 17, 2017 There are problems with outing posters, I recall posters like that King Crimson chap threatening to kill people on here, he would need to hide his identity for his own safety I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It''s a tad disingenuous to suggest you have been outed Nutty when your boy posts under his actual name and often refers to you in posts as Dad. Even Duncan''s four year old could work that one out.
