Am I the only one...

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

errrrm, not really. the only thing i can see is people respecting other peoples views. maybe you should read into it a bit closer. everyone is entitled to an opinion and on these "discussion boards" people are free to air their views and opinions. why can't you understand this? just like i told little boy wonder, just because the minority have different views from you we should be silenced? i don't want to be part of a clique thank you. i'd rather have my own opinion

it's quite possible to hold an opinion and be wrong :)
Mind you I think your post with the stats rather proved the point that when fit, Freedman is one hell of an asset. As I've said before we would not have freedman if he was 100% fit and not 34 years old.

Just think it's funny that we've now had 4 threads on 2 web sites, both of which have been at exactly the same times in both cases.

Not saying you don't have the right to express your opinion just that to have the same identical argument a week or so apart is very tedious, especially when it's happening on different forums.

i didn't start this thread or the other 2. i have started 1. and like i said if it's too tedious for you why are you posting on this thread? there are plenty of other threads to read or post on

Maybe it's just me but it's been a nice swapping of opinions, and I see reasons on both sides, no malice involved or anything. However, yes I agree, come up twice in a week so maybe didn't need to, but then again if you're not wanting to read people's views on something don't we have freedom of choice here to ignore the thread rather than read through the 10 pages?

see... perfect example of a decent post on a controversial debate. take note

what's wrong with him posting on other forums, what's it got to do with SZ?! I though you regularly posted on other boards... i don't see what the issue is!

The point is, as he well knows, it is him doing it on here and his father doing it on SOL. The fact that both threads have opened very close together on each site seems rather "strange" to me.

exactly. and what is wrong with this?

 

[BoyWonder2]

so? does it matter if it gets to 400 pages? in my book that makes a good debate and that's what this forum is all about. it's got to be far better than 3 pages of everyone agreeing on 1 topic. or is it a case of your point is across and that should be then end of it? if you don't want to read it, no-one is forcing you

Don't get me wrong, I'd much rather have a decent debate about a player that spans 7/8 pages with people with different opinions rather that everyone agreeing BUT this is the 2nd time in a week this has been discussed. Plus, since the last thread about this Freedman hasn't even played, we have won 2 games, one against our local rivals yet there are still people having a pop at people that aren't even in the side.

Don't read it then if it bores you that much.

a) i was only giving my view on this topic. im not taking the bait, i know full well i will be slated, but as i've said it doesn't bother me

c) i'm afraid i'm not going to have someone ridicule me just because my view is different from the majority. i.e
" from your stupid quotes i could fill a series of books"
i wasn't being abusive, i was just advising this poster what he may want to do with his book when he's finished publishing it

You could always be mature and take the moral high ground?

I'm not saving it bores me, but twice in a week? Come off it. Its not even as if his played shocking at Col Ewe or against Scunthorpe. If he had played, and played bad I could understand this being dragged up again.

I didn't think he did a lot.

dont complain, and dont get involved if it bores you that much! surely you have self control! if a thread bored me i wouldn't get involved. in fact i wouldn't even read the first page. it doesn't matter if it's twice in a week or twice a year, if you don't like the topic, why bother reading on let alone reply!! just seems another person adding their cheap shot, yet brings nothing constructive to the arguement

 

[Thorpe Groyney]

I liked his song 'Lucky Stars' but he never followed it up so I tend to agree with the first post.

Ignore the cats, you know, I dread to think what your blood pressure levels are like in your house, mine are bad enough but at least there's only me.
