it's how you express it that matters. it's all about context.

for example there's no way i'm going to sit back as a moderator and listen to someone like big niall call rafa a "useless f#cker" (which he did a about a week ago) and let him get away with it. same as members like redtilldead who brought no "debate" to the forum whatsoever. he just attcked the manager in every single post he made, even in threads that had absolutely nothing to do with the manager. it was just tiresome.

heimdall, you claim you want free speech and then that free speech includes comments such as "if rafa is still manager next season i'm going to take a break from watching football altogether" bring nothing constructive to the table whatsoever.

all in all the general state of football posts is declining. just look at the fact that this thread has 390 posts and was inevitably still right near the top of the board when i logged on this morning where as a great thread started by john c has 8 replies and is half way down the page.

too many people want to have theri say on how this place is run and how it's gone downhill instead of trying to make it better by making constructive and interesting topics to start with.

Maybe nothing very constructive but it was my personal opinion and I don't think I shock anyone when I say that I don't like Rafa, did anyone really get offended by that post?

I do agree that there are far too many glib one-liner posts in the forum though. Personally I do always try to explain my views but more often than not just get shouted down by people who don't even try to see my point of view.

It's been a while but when I spent a considerable amount of time on here I always thought those 2 were particularly well balanced and wrote decent stuff.

Just wodnering where the explanation was for these?

We're not here to sulk and to try and get one of the best managers in the World to leave the club he clearly has a lot of affection for. Anyone with even half a brain can see that our problems aren't on the field - if they were, do you think Pepe would have signed his latest deal?

It's time for the antis to grow some b*llocks and knuckle down for the fight. I expect most of them are just annoyed at having fans of other teams chuckle a our current financial predicament. The problem is, they are as clueless as the people they're talking to...

if i had to go to war i'd have you by my side in an instant. if i wanted intelligent debate about anything, i'd probably prefer a potato.

They are not there at Melwood day in day out seeing whats going on. But they like to carry on like they do anyway.
