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.

Not going to get told off by me because you're spot on.

Don't blame you Allan, every day when I look at this forum I despair. Pathetic fans unfortunately.

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.
