[Archived] The Negativity Thread

[philipl]

So I dedicate this to the optimists who think all is or will be well.

And to the rest of us, the concluding call to collective action to make things better is sobering.

[sentient]

loving that! And the word "delusional". Didn't our masters praise Mr Kean for his hard-working and positive attitude! And half the MB swallowed it hook line and sinker. Never mind I'm sure that our many future megastar signings will react to the positive vibes coming from Pune.

Nice presentation. Made it easy to follow.

But it's great peddling these ideologies AFTER the event.

"Trust the Trust"

Was that blind optimism?

With the power of 20-20 hindsight, it could be said to be simply a clever turn of phrase...

Phillip, Phillip, Phillip!

Get a grip!

What tosh, we both know that the world financial crisis was not caused by positive thinking, and surpressing negativity, it was caused by blind greed.

To counter that ridiculous argument, try telling Bob Geldof, or the thousands he saved that positive thinking doesn't have it's benefits.

I know you won't change your tune...yet.

He has no other tunes to change to.

A one trick pony who increasingly seems to be losing the plot.

You or I may or may not agree with what Phillip says but he has a right to say it. It is a messageboard after all.

He has a right to say it,as do I have the right to say he's losing the plot.

What's good for the goose and all that...

let me clarify on my negativity, i am DESPERATE for rovers to do well, i was behind them the whole game but the venkys have let us down badly this summer, we need an influx of QUALITY players otherwise its going to be a hard season, i dont want rovers doing badly but at the moment theres nothing to feel positive about.

[Mr. E]

"the negativity thread".

I wonder if message boards were around during WWII we would have had a "negativity thread" too. Because you know, the situation is not serious, Venkys haven't murdered the very soul of the club, everything is just fine and dandy and there are some people who chose to be negative and they can have their "negativity thread".

This is why the club is going down. Because its own fans refuse to fight for it. When you are besing erased from existence, you do not argue about the "positive and negatives", you protest with every last breath you have until they drag you out.

I like the fact you compared our situation to WW2.

Dramatic

selgado was to blame for each goal and the penalty yesterday, his weakneses far far outway his positives, he was the most experianced player on the pitch put played like the least.

Mr E how can we fight for our club when the owners have already downed tools and have a clumsy general in charge of the troops?

I think even Barry Kilby buying the club would be more welcome than the Rao family watching the next game at Ewood Park.

Let state my intentions, and say I am hereby placing a 50p contract on Kean's head. You kill him and bring proof, then you can have enough to buy a fresh bread roll and a Chomp from a supermarket. It's all I can afford, and all he's worth.

[broadsword]

ker-boing.

interesting.

Where are they all?

[47er]

We could bring up a few of the early posts on this thread. to remind everybody how deluded some became! Amazingly some thought we'd be much better this year and Venkys were proved right in keeping Kean!

Too sadistic though! Move on.
