| Tractor Guy (dark horse) on 10:57 - May 6 by darkhorse28 | I can’t lie. I’ve gone from not caring less about this guy to being slightly curious. I can’t be arsed. But it was my bday last week, I do have a FB account but don’t ever use it or log in, but thot it rude not to acknowledge bday wishes, so did log in yesterday. Was tempted to find him, but couldn’t be arsed, I’m guessing he’s in Ipswich forums and not his own page…, I don’t get it though…, why do people just not block him or not engage? An entire thread on here - which is hilarious really, so he clearly gets to people. Is it that he’s SO disagreeable? Or do people hate that some of what his extreme views are, might have more truth than is comfortable? He touches a nerve. Block him. Ignore him. If he’s wrong, he’ll have to go away or get bored or troll somewhere else etc My views are my own. I don’t ask anyone to agree - they’re v consistent. I get fascinated by herd behaviours and people needing to conform, its like a zoo to me at times - at various points this season, the same opinion that got 20 down votes, could get 20 uppies. It interests me more than it should tbh But my opinions are genuine, I don’t start many threads, if any really. One bad decision again Birmingham, two points fewer and the whole narrative shifts 180. It doesn’t move a little, or have perspective, we finish a point behind Milwall and McKenna would be getting digs abuse (from some). That fascinates me - because McKenna would still be the same quality as a coach, very young and talented. It’s fine margins. But there’s a truth to where we are…, not as much to worry about in the short term as some have suggested, me included, but not PL elite, not yet at least. Also true, and the legend narratives etc, hyperbole that doesn’t help him. I don’t want to build him up around narratives that clearly aren’t true, partly because that game is about ensuring the fall is bigger and a huge story. Guess that’s why we all love the football…, it makes monkeys out of all of us. Who predicted Sunderland. Or Burley. We couldn’t qualify for Europe .., could we .., see I can get carried away too.., love the football. |
He's clearly not you, he's clearly on a massive p ss take and people are biting waaay too easily. Credit to him I guess, if people keep getting upset and falling for it. Whereas you believe in what you post. He has responded to you on there saying you aren't the same person if that helps. |  |

Thanks, appreciated, but didn’t bother me, just find it odd how people put two and two together, and then are 100% certain about their made up logic. I’m not on FB precisely because of the levels of reductive crap on their, people huh, they liked Hitler, and Coldplay etc You just can’t trust them. I mean I do 100% believe everything I say, but only because most thing are complex, and not black and white. If that Birmingham goal had gone in, and I know it’s not how football works. We got many bad decisions too, but we’d have been a point behind Millwall. Can you imagine the is place if that happened? And we don’t go up. Mikes behind Coventry, a point behind a Millwall side with 1% out budget, and no promotion. McKenna would be driven in a taxi by some supporters to any club of his choice…, and I’d be defending him, his record etc It’s fine margins. There’s a truth to McKenna and Ashton that doesn’t respect the tribal emotion. And fine margins, as per our last dance at this level…., it made a complete mockery of the media hyperbole the previous summer. But McKenna is young, very young for a manger, and this time could be very different, time will tell. Tbf had the worst happened. I wouldn’t be defending Ashton, that’s a set narrative for me. But no doubt he 100% was the right man at the right time in league one. We owe him a huge amount for that. Bringing in McKenna and supporting him. He’s v good at getting deals done.., now he needs that skill, but with much better talent Id, fingers crossed. |  | |  |
