Harsh.
That team contained Knudsen, Chambers, Skuse, Jackson and Bart, all players which I liked and couldn't fault their effort.
Also note that we had Downes in there.
I think we all know that a manager has a massive impact on how well a team does and I'd bet my testicles we'd have not got relegated with McKenna and the team in charge.
Don't think blame should be laid soley at the players having seen what they were provided with. Rotten and the top and that's where the culture starts. |

Try predicting those last games and you're a fool.
I think we might get through with 1 win and two draws, but we might need 3 wins. Or 2 wins and 1 draw, or 2 wins and a loss.....
see what I mean |

Not sure how I feel about agents, but then I don't know any that well or the specifics surrounding their job.
I'm not saying it's true of football agents, but it does feel like players get milked...it's not like the agents have a short career like footballers.
Honest days pay for an honest days work imo, none of this % rubbish, although no doubt the players then see the motivation of the agent to get them as much as possible as it helps them too. Ultimately, a club will only pay what they feel someone is worth though surely? Excluding Chelsea of course.
Happy to be educated. |

Why not? Kieffer was hardly loved by some fans and decided to come back
If we signed him, 99% of fans would be over the f****g moon and rightly so, quality player. |

Whilst I'm of the age of sticks and stones, clearly racist comments are abhorrent and should not be tolerated.
At what point does it work both ways? It has to right? Respect does work both ways.
Harsh perhaps as we're probably all numb to being called something such as an 'English *******' , but reality is that it has to happen. |

Not being negative, purely an observation...
Leif didn't celebrate, just stood for a moment, and slowly walked back to half way line.
I think from looking at him, just beyond knackered and had given everything, nothing more than that. |

I actually walked to the ground behind those two, the tall one was a little bit vocal in the quiet roads and the short one was walking with 'lat spread' but telling his mate to stop calling out, there were probably 5 or six others with them, all just minding their own.
They then got outside the curve bar and became very quiet, walking past without any words said...
The short one then proceded to walk in front of moving traffic and when a car stopped he smacked the car all big man style before walking on his way.
Just grade your average plank, i'm sure we've got ones who behave the same, but hitting cars and insulting randoms in the street is and always will be out of order and shirts should always get left alone. |

Some fans are 10 ffs.
Inflatables are fun, singing is fun, dancing is fun.
Then you get the boring cants who stand at the side of a dancefloor with a pint thinking they're all cool and whatnot, rolling their eyes at the middle aged parents twirling around without a care in the world.
Guess who's having more fun?
Take inflatables if you want, it'll improve crowd interraction at the very least, break down barriers and no doubt there'll be more smiles.
Eurgh, old men on internet forums dissing the fact that some people are different to them in how they enjoy themselves. Get a life, the world is moving forwards and you're standing still falling behind. |

Derisks ORGs investment substantially for starters but keeps them in control.
No idea about the new people, but you'd imagine they'll leave things alone unless asked to get involved.
Some of the money being used for training ground, so seems okay to me.
Not really big news imo, just financial stuff that's going on. |

Doesn't mean it wasn't a great day.
Did half a bottle of Tanqueray on the way to Liverpool st, have no idea what pub we were in, but stickered up policeman, blue smoke, youngsters hanging from light fittings......recollection of how I got to Vicarage road has departed as did much of the first half, but the kid like joys of people 'playing' inflatable guitars, arguing over who's blow up dinosaur is best and sobering up enough to enjoy the wonders of a last minute goal will never leave me.
That day. That moment, was still one of the best days out regardless of the season overall.
Watching your team win will always be an enjoyable end to the day no matter what or when. |

Swimming pool with half the amount of spectator seating (per pics) as Crown Pools.
Another nail in the coffin for swimming clubs who want to raise money.
Happened at Lowestoft, pool developed, no seating for spectators (well, around a dozen) so can't hold events that were vital for raising money (and engaging parents/grandparents/social interaction)
Obviously looked pretty on an architects computer though, so that's cool. |

Reply | What were peoples expectations for this season?
at 09:02 11 Mar 2024
This is the most disappointing element for me.
If we don't go up, we've accelerated McKenna's leaving point.
Had we been challenging for a last play-off spot, I think McKenna's stock would have continued to rise, but we'd then have probably sold a couple of our better players for a few pounds and looked to improved for a second go next season (as was probably the plan)
As it stands, McKenna's profile is so high, if we don't make it, he'll likely now not stay plus we'll lose a couple of our better players (and rightfully so...we know it's a business) and we're back the the unknown of who'll come in next.
That's the saddest part of being relatively successful. |
