ZLF 274 Posted July 12, 2007 Not this again - AAAARRGGHHHH; the worst and most pointless of debates; talk about groundhog day.Sorry Blainsey - not directly aimed at you but we have had this so may times and it simply creates divides.Football is all about opinions; none of us is right 100% of the time and even those that annoy us the most can share their view; the just should not expect everyone else to agree with it. I have no doubt that all the regular posters on here are true supporters of the club, even those that irritate us most. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saint Canary 0 Posted July 12, 2007 Was it some sort of mod joke to allow Zipper''s post through twice after he mentioned groundhog day? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dicky 0 Posted July 12, 2007 We are all entitled to our own opinions, but certain people who NEVER say a positive thing about the club cannot be called supporters in my opinion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blahblahblah 2 Posted July 12, 2007 [quote]Someone who supports or champions something[/quote]It could be argued that those who question the status quo are attempting to help the thing that they support.The nature of support is different to every individual. I have no doubt that I annoy the hell out of season ticket holders when I bang on about how great things are when they''ve just got back from a 0-0 draw on a wet Tuesday night in Preston. But we all support the club according to our own abilities, limitations, and methods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarychris 0 Posted July 12, 2007 in my opinion ''someone who has supported this club 4 as long as they can remember and has NEVER claimed to support another professional English club side''.Anybody, regardless of views or opinions, who fills the above criteria can rightfully claim to be a supporter.

Tom Hannon 0 Posted July 12, 2007 To me, its not about anything other than the 11 guys who run out on that pitch. Good, bad or indifferent, they will still get my support the following week.Yes, I will moan about poor performances, but its about being Norwich through good times and bad.

[/quote] People post on here because they genuinely care about Norwich City. If they didn''t they wouldn''t have opinions on every aspect of the club and wouldn''t bother to discuss them. Supporters should acknowledge the ''good'' things and query the ''bad'' things. Players, managers, chief execs and board members will invariably come and go and ''perform'' well or badly. The only thing that remains constant at a football club are the supporters and their love for the club. City ''til we die Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carrow89 0 Posted July 13, 2007 You seem to have rather an obsession with our club, don''t you Smudger ? Out of the last twelve posts on here you have added your opinion to ten of them. Opinions that contain nothing but negative views and attacks on our club.This from a poster who has no interest in attending any games at Carrow Road. I wonder why ?

I may not agree with you Smudger for a lot of the time, sometimes I feel you go well over the top, however I will admit that you do raise some very valid points and I have not once ever considered you to be less of a supporter than I, nor that you care less about the club. This is an old argument (as Zipper pointed out) that ran quite a lot during the “Worthy Out” period on this forum. We are merely covering old ground and getting into the “my dad is bigger than your dad” arguments again. Everyone on here posts because they care about City and want to see them successful. What we desperately need to get away from is the attitude that differing opinions means we all don’t wish for the same thing, a successful Norwich City. It’s all very well posting the definition of a supporter but there is more too it than a dictionary entry. From what I can see, posters like Cluck are “championing” Norwich City, just in a different way to others. It makes them neither wrong nor less of a supporter, if people can’t detect the passion for City in what they say then they are reading it wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Iwan is God 0 Posted July 13, 2007 My definition of a supporter is someone who attends games & cheers his team on. Someone who doesn''t attend is merely an armchair fan. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
