Hurst has done the same is that kneejerk ?? its part of his job description to undertake an interview after the game and answer questions honestly next time I see him lobbing his scarf down and screaming abuse at the players I'll seriously consider calling him a chump

I truly can’t see a problem with the thread. We have a player of the season so why not the opposite? Could be a whole lot ruder and abussive than “chump”.

its compulsory after a defeat to have a club bashing debate ( where you get attacked from all angles if you dare to question it ) Belfastshrew hasn't been attacked by anybody, and if you think he has, that's probably a large reason why reasoned debate always breaks down on this board... he posted his opinion, others politely disagreed, it's what a messageboard is for And one tried to light heatedly agree with him ,sorry for having a different opinion , I'll leave to carry on liking all the pro chump voters in peace , wouldn't want to be known as a hunt saboteur 😝

I agree with you. Just don't think a whole thread publically dedicated to club bashing is constructive criticism. I completely agree it's not constructive but why does it need to be? It's an independent messageboard for fans to give their opinion, like 99.9% of things we say on here, it will make no difference whatsoever to anything. If there were endless threads which were full of swearing, abuse and hate then I'd agree it's OTT but that isn't the case. Personally, I find it entertaining that some people think our fans go into meltdown when we lose, the reality is we are a placid bunch and giving an opinion that our performance was rubbish is not having a meltdown, it's giving an opinion (normally backed up by our own manager). independent ? I was directed to remove my criticism of Brian Cawldwell by Jamo & another mod last March and boy did I try to have a say about cotterill now and then without success independent, I might remember that word fr a bit

The last time I looked this board was totally independent of the club and may it long last continue.

The reaction to Saturday's defeat is not a "knee jerk" reaction as one poster said. It is much more than that. It is a culmination of a dire season, both on and off the field of play. Players went missing on Saturday and it was as if they don't care about the club who they represent. Coupled with that was the post match interview with the manager, a man who, in my opinion has also had enough. All in all it was not a good weekend all around and the response we have seen on this and other threads can therefore only be expected.

All I can say is that if I had any inkling of any sort that this board was becoming a voice piece for the club then you wouldn't see me for dust. The club has it's social media outlets and we have ours!

I think thats the fairest post yet to what is an unfair thread, and they all know who they are whether they are still here or not as for this thread its rather like the SPOTY awards, only the opposite, with the awards already chosen from a select committee on the basis of their own personal views

But this board is an outlet for personal views. Well that’s what I use it for anyway.
Surely this thread is lighthearted. It seems to be taken far too seriously by some.
For goodness sake everyone lighten up a bit. Honestly life is too short for all this nonsense.

For my part, I know and feel there to be a significant change on this board and the increasingly pro club line being wielded by some of those with authority, and I’m certainly not alone in such views. Hence, so many valued and respected contributors deleting their accounts or simply not bothering to post anymore. And this place becoming so much poorer as a consequence.

A question was asked and people are giving their views/opinions, really don't get why there's an issue here.
