Thanks Cluniemore for listening.

This has been done to death over the last year and a bit, but how could we have done this with no money!!!

No-one went out to purposely **** everyone off, including HMRC

I think you will find by his own admission RM took the **** using HMRC as a bank.

Let's just hope we are doing everything above board this season, seems very strange that we can sign so many players but still losing 100k a week, do you trust him just because we are sitting high in the table ?

I don't think RM has much to do with the Football side these days.If you have questions then ask the man who is now IE: TB

Having a chairman that doesn't take us to the brink and pays the players helps.

You really think we are in a good position ? If things had been handled in a professional manner instead of ****ing off everyone, including HMRC, we could have been a reasonable league 1 side NOT playing hoofball and only beating teams because they are even worse than us !

I didn't say anything about the finances! :unsure:

If it was using it as a bank, that would suggest he borrowed money off them, which isn't true, he just didn't pay BECAUSE WE HAD NO MONEY!!!!

To answer your second question, I never said I trusted him, was just pointing out that I don't believe he did anything on purpose, I'm sure if he had the money, everyone would have been paid on time (though I could be wrong :unsure:)

Don't boo....Brilliant.

The team plays like gash, but make sure the players get rapturous applause when they come off the field. Never mind the £20 you've spent to see your team not turn up. Or even the fact that despite not turning up, the players are all going to get their wages.....

What else should a fan do to register their frustration at a sub-standard performance? Or are you that worried that we might hurt the poor footballer's feelings? Having worked with an amateur football club for 4 years, I can assure you that 90% of footballers generally have massively over-inflated egos, so I'm sure being brought down a peg or two isn't going to send them to the clubs shrink.

Sometimes one team loses to another team. That's football. The trouble with booing everytime we lose or you think the players haven't turned up is that it lessons the impact when something happens which does deserve being booed over.

Booing has changed over the last decade though. People do just boo now for the match they've just seen, or even the half that they've seen when previously it was seen as some kind of ultimate statement of dissatisfaction with the direct of the Club. That's why it provokes such a reaction in some.

Do you not think that in this day and age, and in a changing society, that we now vent anger through other means? Such as chanting against the board, or chanting against the manager.....Or even bringing visual aids such as red cards etc? Some fans have been known to carry out coordinated boycotts of games.....

I think a boo lasting no longer than 4-5 seconds at the end of a garbage performance is enough to let the players know that it wasn't good enough, and hopefully elicit a better response in their next game....And you move on.

The problem as I see it is that we are all tactical geniuses nowadays.
Truth is we ain't. Listening to Hansen, Redknapp or Neville does not
qualify us.
And expecting us to pass like Barcelona is stupid.
I'm happy to leave it to Paul Sturrock to do the right thing.
After all, his track record is mighty impressive.

Good input mastermind! :smile:

I agree, maybe you may want to boo, but it doesn't change the fact that I think it such a pointless activity, you may aswell hit a WOK with a wooden spoon to express your feelings!

Pointless to you, maybe not to others. I don't "boo" at games (even though some performances I feel I should have!), but I don't have anything against those that do. You cheer and applaud a good performance, why not boo a load of rubbish? I dont believe that any paying fan should be denied the right to cheer or boo, they are two different ends of a spectrum and will make the team and manager aware of the general thoughts of the fans around the stadium. I'm sure none of the players or Sturrock give a monkeys if the team draws and they hear the odd "boo" from certain corners of the ground, as they will know these are isolated instances......Whereas a chorus of boo's might hit home a little harder and fire the players up to show us they can do better, maybe not.....But if it makes the fans believe that it will elicit a positive (must work harder) reaction for the next game, then so be it.

Whilst I disagree with booing players individually, or even barking insults at them, I don't believe that you can just order (which your tone in a previous post indicates) the fans to stop expressing themselves or just filter out negative reaction. The positive and negative need to be heard by the team, and its down to the team to put in the right amount of effort to ensure that the boos are down to a minimum, or even better absent.
