There only there for the story, the more trouble the more they love it, like back in the 60s they paid mods to fight with the rockers. They would even go looking for the Mods then tell the rockers where they were.

Its all about respect in their culture, and loss of that respect is immense. :thumbup:


as i said........he has respect out there, we have Malaysian dignitaries fly in for games. they bulk of their press i doubt are that interested anyway, but im pretty sure its WE would be blamed for being ungratfull and abussive...
believe it or not Cardiff City isnt the center of the universe..........
do you know the ins and outs at leeds,pompey or luton......i dont

You make fair points.


i try to be fair...i wear blue every game have done since the rebrand,but didnt before that..........i will never accept the red in my heart although like everyone i have to accept the team wear it.....red one day will be blue again, but in the mean time we have tan,and for all his faults he really does want us to do well.....if thats a financial thing or an ego thing i dont know or care...but in my lifetime we havent been so high in the league ,had such big crowds, or had such a big profile.
i looked earlier.....13th biggest attendances,on the back of being shit for 30 years and not winning anything for nearly 90 years.....this club can be something..........and people look up to pompey ?????????.........i believe tan can take us further and sell something thats really special......or be pushed into ruining it forever.........i honestly think he is capable of both


Totally get what you're saying from a logical perspective. But from a totally personal point of view, I can't imagine ever feeling the elation I felt after eg beating Barnsley in the semis of the fa cup a few years ago. I didn't enjoy promotion to the premiership like I would have pre rebrand because I felt emotionally disconnected. I had to pretend to be exited when colleagues mentioned it because they wouldn't have understood. In the same vein, the defeat against Hull didn't affect me as much as it did others who don't have strong feelings about the rebrand. Football fans shouldn't have neutral feelings about their team, that's just not football as I know it.

I have renewed my st and will hang in there until the ambivalence gets too much and success has that familiar hollow feeling. I will protest with you all, and have total sympathy for those who will chant tan out on the march because I firmly believe that nothing good will come from that man, but I would accept just a return to blue as a massive victory.
