I think its more to do with patience, some have it, some don't, supporters will lose patience at different rates. Anyone who is currently happy with things at the club at the moment must be an Happy Clapper, I personally think we have moved a step back this summer, after 2 seasons of progression. I am fully prepared for a nothing season, with dull football being played, very disappointing. Me too, I remember when the news broke that Carlos was staying, there were some on here that predicted a 'dip' this season. They got absoloutley hammered by the 'happy clappers' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHERSTATE Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 The internet has created bi-polar opinions You have only a few lines to put your opinion across so its going to seem black or white And things get argued to each minuscule detail that it gets rounded down eventually to simple tags and insults....and on here almost my dad is bigger than your dad Thats why modern politics has become so extreme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not over critical though the first few hours following a defeat I'm like a bear with a sore arse. My first rule is to keep away from OT following my transgression following sacking. But the anger dissipates after a couple of days and I become more reasoned again. This opposed to building a dossier of hate on a manager who has nothing but good intentions, I just find the behaviour sickening ! I hate losing, words can't describe it But there's one thing I'm sure of ... I'll find NOTHING on Owlstalk to ease my pain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HIGHERSTATE Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 There was that many people that looked confident and optimistic on the kop after wednesdays game, I was thinking so we have a stand full of happy clappers.

Lees Tom Cat Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Once the ifollower has exhausted the talk about vpn's that's when the trouble will start. And they will always have an excuse why they don't attend the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought thats how it always was. But no as people simply have a chip on their shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnarwolf Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 (edited) It's the exact same reason as to why modern politics is so poisonous recently. People share their opinion on a matter and anyone who doesn't agree with them is put in the other category, it's seen as black and white when it actually turns out the majority of people are shades of grey, however, it is so much harder to get your point across when this is the case as the people on the edges of the spectrum always shout the loudest.

Being sceptical about the ability of the Head Coach doesn't mean you hate him. And good intentions won't get you promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
