a1canary 0 Posted April 26, 2006 "If Worthington stays in post, it''ll be Championship football for the next 5 years""I know Worthy is useless as fact"This is pathetic, the lowest form of "my dad''s better than yourdad" debate that contributes NOTHING to the debate and just underlinesthe intelligence levels we are dealing with on these boards nowadays.The more fanatical WOers, the authors of quotes such as this, haveturned this in to nothing more than a hysterical witch hunt that masksgenuine and legitimate concerns on both sides of the WO and KTF debate.Anyone can play along with this if they want to..."If Worthington stays in post we''ll get promoted next year."It''s no more outrageous than the "we''ll be playing champ football for 5 years with worthy" quote! And as for "i know worthy is useless"... Who is this greatfootball oracle? Is there anything else this person "knows" that weought to know? Surely we should seek him out and seek his advice on allthings football. Send the FA round ''cos presumbaly he "knows" who thenext England manager should be, and who should be in the world cupsquad. He is the great one, he "knows"! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LinkNR9 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Can you tell me why the "we''ll be playing champ football for 5 years with worthy" quote is outrageous? This is an OPINION, so what makes that opinion so unacceptable, just because it differs from yours? For example, I may have the opinion that Curbishley should be the next England manager, whilst you may think that Big Sam should be picked. Using the above rationale, my opinion about Curbishley is "outrageous" because it differs from yours! As for the cause of your original ''outrage'', we''ve failed to live up to expectations for the past two seasons - what makes you positive that Worthington will turn it around? My opinion is that we will fail to do so whilst NW is in charge. Is it OK with you to have an opinion? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BedsCanary 0 Posted April 26, 2006 Agreed on all counts - but the only way those type of comments will stop is if they''re ignored and not reacted to. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginja 26 Posted April 26, 2006 "If Worthington stays in post, it''ll be Championship football for the next 5 years"This is an opinion and I believe people are entitled to it. I dont necessarily share it but that doesn''t mean I''m going to shout it down as rubbish.People are allowed to say what they think will happen it may not betrue, just so long as they bare in mind that these kind of comments arenot facts and only opinions."I know Worthy is useless as fact"I agree, this kind of comment is low and stupid, worthy is far from useless especially after whats hes done for us, we''d be league 2 if he was useless. I don''t believe anyone is useless. Lets keep to footballing opinions and stay away from the petty insults, its pathetic. I''m going to join in too..."A new season, a new chance, It can be successful with worthy but it may not" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
a1canary 0 Posted April 26, 2006 In that case link, learn to state your opinions as opinions. "...it''ll be championship football..." as in IT WILL BE is a factualstatement, unlike if you said, something like, "i reckon we''ll beplaying in the championship for the next five years if worthy is incharge..."you may think it''s being picky, but these are the subtleties of language and are the difference between inflamatory statements andhonestly held opinions.

a1canary 0 Posted April 27, 2006 ok, point taken stevenage, but note what i said about "masking issueson both sides of the debate". I''m not against people wanting worthy outper se, what i am against is vitriolic worthy haters, of the kind whocome out with real rubbish like "i know worthy is useless - fact" andsuch like. it winds me up, probably too far on occasions...

Just because it''s someone’s opinion that Worthy is our worst manager ever, it doesn''t mean it is an opinion worth paying any attention too.What annoys me more though is when it is assumed that just because I believe he should go that I automatically agree with any and every comment made on the subject. I don''t mean you, just wanted to get it off my chest! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nobbyg 0 Posted April 27, 2006 Which one is an opinion, which one is a prediction and which one.........In my opinion Curbishley should be the next manager of England.I think Curbishley will be the next manager of England.Curbishley will be the next England Manager. People have to be careful which their languauge or their "opinions" seem like aggressive predictions......which can then be proved wrong. Then they slate you for pointing out their "opinion" was wrong. 1st Wizard in November...."if worthington stays in charge we will be relegated and playing division 1 football, just look at Forest, etc, etc....."Opinion or prediction? Wrong anyway!Before you get your pants in a twist I am in the Out club now - so don''t ruin your comeback with uninformed drivel. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to remember you can shoot down people who post supporting Worthington so why cant A1 shoot down those that don''t?No thats just how the outers want it -their voice only so they can dictate what is good or not good for this club! Well and truly behind you on this one A1. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saint Canary 0 Posted April 27, 2006 That''s it Chicken, put everyone who feels Worthy should leave into one tidy little group. Because obviously everyone who feels that maybe a change of manager would be beneficial are unreasonable all of the time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only ever express my opinion and I also asume that everyone else does the same, but of late more and more people are getting damn right offensive on here. Categorising all WO as rabble, morons etc. and then getting all upset and offended is someone disagrees, its all childish tosh.The only reason I picked up on A1''s comments is because he/she has always posted well thought out and interesting posts that I enjoy reading. If you had typed the same I would have just ignored it because you have taken the whole WO V KTF situation way too far and sometimes way too personally.

LinkNR9 0 Posted April 27, 2006 A1 said - "In that case Link, learn to state your opinions as opinions...". I am of the opinion that this line is somewhat bullying and inflammatory in its tone. Or, rather, I could do if I was just trying to be argumentative because I disagree with you. "...you may think it''s being picky..." Yes, I do, especially as it''s only semantics, for goodness'' sake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
