Yellow Rider 0 Posted February 2, 2006 Paul does seem to have dominated this board now for the past few weeks but he makes some damn good points about the downward slide of the club since last season. I may be slightly irritated by the quantity of his posts but the quality is (mostly) pretty spot on IMO.He has my backing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huddy 0 Posted February 2, 2006 Paul Rankin has usually got good views which make sense and so shouldnt be criticized for this. He can be negative, and does start alot of negative topics but 90% of the time his comments make sense. Its obvious that he is a true fan unlike some on here (naming no names), and is intitled to his own opinion. It should be respected, it is a forum which is somewhere for us fans to debate. If everyone decided to comment on the positives like lets all be happy andy hughes madec a succesful pass it wouldnt be worth while. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZLF 271 Posted February 3, 2006 Paul shares his thoughts and at a time of the worst performances in 5 years why shouldnt many oftheposts be negative? He is open to changing his mind when people take the time to discuss his points with him rather than simply attack him so is far less blinkered than many of his detractors who accuse him of being single visioned. Heis not the worst poster by any means but is clearly passionate for his club and wont take second best like many others.Keep it up Paul; Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MadDan 0 Posted February 3, 2006 " wont take second best like many others. "More old tosh. As said before we and most others will always be second best.The problem with posters like Paul (and yourself) is that you attempt to portray anyone who doesn''t think that ''sacking the manager will resolve our problems'' as fans who have little or no aspiration or concern for the club.In Paul''s case it is far worse. Any genuine rebuttal of his repeated lies, misinformation and attempts to slander the club are twisted into being attacks on those that don''t agree with Worthington. They are not.It is fair comment to state your views on the manager, his signings, tactics etc. This is part and parcel of this board and has been part and parcel of football be it here, in the pub or on the terraces for a long long time.What is not fair comment is the repeated twisting of a story in an attempt to show how bad the club is, habitual misrepresent ion of what is said for the same purpose and the posting up of stuff from a totally unreliable source knowing that it is libellous solely because it''s made unfounded claims of financial irregularities.This not an argument between those who want Worthington sacked and those who don''t. It is about a number of fans, irrespective of their views on Worthington, who are sick to the death of the lies and endless rumour being passed off as fact in an effort to denigrate the club.It is not about keeping the faith it is about keeping the record straight. Something Paul Rankine and a small vociferous number of message board names have being doing their damnest to twist.What they'' won''t take is the fact that the vast majority of genuine City fans don''t have their pathological hatred of the club and so seem to spend every waking hour of their existence posting up attacks on every single thread they can find.True fans perhaps. Of or club, highly doubtful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
derwent 0 Posted February 3, 2006 And your problem Dan is that anyone who does not agree with your arguement is ''TOSH'' You take the moral high ground on a regular basis and it all reeks of club ''spin''. If Paul, Wiz, Ronbol, rossi....(I could go on) want to put their opinion forward (and it is opinion) you and squit are the first to belittle them no matter what they say. You talk about putting the record straight, so come on then, why should we listen to you anymore than ignore what anyone else says. Be a man, tell us who you are. Keep it up Paul. We need good debate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LinkNR9 0 Posted February 3, 2006 "...sick to the death of the lies and endless rumour being passed off as fact..."If you''re happy with the rubbish that has been dished up on and off the field this season, then you''re sick as well as Mad, Dan. Oh, whilst we''re on the subject of ''lies'', I''ll reproduce the answer (according to City Angel, who was there) that Worthington gave at the Fans'' Forum about the following topic - "...Nigel couldn’t remember saying he didn’t care what the fans thought - so several people reminded him that he had said it; he then said it had been taken out of context..."So he can''t remember saying it, but what he didn''t say "had been taken out of context". Doh! What does he take us for?If Ipswich supporters don''t laugh about what we do on the pitch on Sunday, then they can certainly laugh at our staff off the pitch.WORTHY OUT.

gazban 0 Posted February 3, 2006 Why dont we get more positive posts then. Perhaps its because there is little positive to go on. I have been encouraged by the new signings, but otherwise what else is there. If you KTFers are so fed upwith Paul counter his arguments. Problem is you cant really as most of what he says is absolutely true, unfortunately Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucky green trainers 0 Posted February 3, 2006 i would imagine the climb to the moral high ground has quite exhausted you mad dan.any message board worth its salt has a wide range of opinions that in the main reflects opinion rather than creates it - the general mood on this board is negative, which probably accurately reflects the current situation at city. certainly the crowd at carra rd against watford were very subdued and all the reports from reading show the travelling fans were very quiet - its not all hunky dory and with 4 defeats in the last 5 games and coming on the back of a disappointing season the general poor mood is probably to be expected.I believe the club is lagging behind fan opinion on worthy, and so its probably realisitic that some posters will go over the top presently in frustration. In any event, if you don''t like the style of some people''s posts, then you always have a choice to reply or ignore it, or even leave. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
