I can't wait for the season to start

Tue Jul 15, 2025 7:57 pm

This place is a bit of a cesspit at times.

People desperate to write the manager off. They were probably hoping we'd lose to Southend so they'd have something to be critical about.

I always believed in giving people a chance.

Others clearly don't, trying to criticise a manager for not turning up to an U21 game FFS :lol:

What's more, none of those players playing tonight will be part of the first team.



Can't wait for the season to start so people will either have something to really complain about or be forced to actually realise we have a good manager.

Half tempted to not even come on here until the season starts because the posts from some so called fans is beyond ridiculous and actually quite pathetic.

Genuinely don't know what they get out of it.

I think a lot of humble pie will be eaten this season

I really believe we've landed ourselves a top manager I just hope the board back him as although I believe the squad we have now is top 6 material we are quite short on depth so a couple of key injuries early on could really hurt us

BBM did say after Saturday that there will be signings (something some people, not you, have chosen to ignore).

But I agree that some will be surprised in a good way.

I am looking forward to the new season as always 1st home and 1st away shame the away is a Thursday rather than a Saturday.

I’ll probably get told off (yet again) for this post.

But this is the point I’ve been making for a while now.

The Tan Out movement has been (for a while now) so focused on their utter hatred of Tan that it is now being deflected onto other people.

Tonight, the manager not turning up to an under 21s game - full of players who are nowhere near our first team.

Those same people are complaining that we don’t have experience in the first team - now they are complaining he’s not watching the kids?!

Can’t win with some.

Accurate.

"Support the team, not the regime" is what was driven on here. Bollocks. The past month has been grim on here.

Don't delete my post like you did a few days ago now guys OK. Just here me out a sec.

Have any of you stopped to think that some of the posters on here might be kids/young adults that don't really know any better. If they want to slag the manager off or bitch about this player and that player...just let them. You were all young once. They are just letting off some steam. And by god they deserve to having been privy to the last 4 or 5 seasons. Let them be and don't join in with their topics.

Worcester and Roath especially, you bite at people almost instantly, sometimes within 2 minutes of someone posting. Just sodding relax and ignore the likes of Jonny whatever and 'the return'. Just ignore them and concentrate on your own converstaions.

As someone who doesnt post much but visits daily, you may think they spoil this forum for everyone...but you guys genuinely contribute to the bad atmosphere on here too by constantly (and I mean constantly) bitching back at them. You guys are just as much to blame. Everyone is allowed an opinion, however much you disagree with it!

If you left them be, the atmosphere on here would be so much nicer...and so many more posters would join in and contribute/debate.

Give it a go for all or sanity.

I do bitch back, correct.

I put my opinion across on threads and got called a Tan Lover, Tan Sympathiser etc etc by the Tan Out committee because my opinion was different.

And it’s not young kids calling people names, it’s people in their 50s and 60s.

If I want to defend myself then I will.

Is anyone ever right in your eyes though? Anyone bar yourself that is. Your one of the main/chief moderators on here aren't you? Surely that means you should try and let conversations flow a bit...try and remain a bit impartial/unbiased.

Some of your many posts are great and there is no denying you love this club of ours...but you also sometimes genuinely contribute to the toxicity on here too.

I've said my bit anyway...over to you if you want to delete my post again for no apparent reason whatsoever (another thing a moderator shouldn't do)

I'll be honest, people like you make me want to stop moderating this forum.

I put hours a day into this forum and work extremely hard for Annis, who I consider a friend.

But dealing with this bullshit is not what I signed up to so I will be honest in my replies - which I've done in this thread.

Your posts were deleted because you made personal comments which were out of order, I could have banned you but I'm generous.

Maybe I won't carry on moderating this forum and I'll tell you that a replacement may not be so kind.

Worcester you are 100% correct some of these posters are pathetic to use your words and need to grow up please keep going although I don't know you I do respect you as a moderator on this forum.

Re: I can't wait for the season to start

Wed Jul 16, 2025 8:13 am

My feelings on the subject is that any fan should have a right to express their feelings. However, there is away of doing it.
To make statements such as 'this player is shit or our squad is crap etc is pathetic and criticism is justified.
On the other hand, if a point is put across however positive or negative about the club, but with reasons, it should be accepted.
Anyone has the right to respond without insulting that individual, giving their own point of view.
We don't all feel the same about the clubs current state of affairs.

Ned, I am with you here.I am also really looking forward to the new season I cant wait, i feel very positive about it with
the squad already have,and the new players coming in, I feel we will have a very good season, here we go, here we go :ayatollah: :thumbup:

Re: I can't wait for the season to start

Wed Jul 16, 2025 11:16 am

I am really looking forward to the season and football being back in General, despite all that is going on with a possible sale or not, I am hopeful we can get a playoff place or better, but consistency will be needed of course to do that.

Regardless of that really looking forward to it. a sale will bring a huge boost to the club if happens during the season, no sale there will be a lot of negativity and protests but on the pitch, keep what we have add some new faces, even if a couple more go, I do like the manager come across very well so far, and is hungry to prove himself and it’s a chance for many players to step up! think we will be ok.

As for the moderators, it’s totally different to popping on having a rant, or giving views and going off to do something else within a few minutes, like you say you put in many hours of your time every day, and if it was not for you guys that do this, of course there would be no forum, I think despite people disagreeing and having a go at you guys at times, they all really appreciate the time and effort you put in so we can have this forum, if they don’t they should 100%.

Very very passionate Ned is :bluebird: :bluebird:

I would actually say, No mater what insults Ned receives, he has Never banned anyone.

I don't know you at all Ned but I do enjoy your posts, and you seem to know what's going on with our beloved club, I do agree with you with some of the comments on here knocking BBM, I watched the Southend game from the comfort of my living room and was very impressive with the first half, which I think involved probably most of his first team preferences, a hell of an improvement on last season's shit. Keep up the good work and don't let anyone piss you off, like most people think see how we are after 12 games. I think people will be happy with BBM then.
