Animis Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 It's like some christmas edition of a soap opera this. I've never bought the fan blame game. The players are scared to play at home crap, the fans moaning affects the players/manager - it's a nonsense. It's like it doesn't happen anywhere else in England - it does! Wallace sushing the crowd - he's lucky he was chased across the pitch. DC needs to look at the context of what has happened this season and his role in events. He gave CC another year - what for? Surely it was to get promotion, as that what we came so close the two previous years. Why is it the fans fault that we look like a relegation team. Should DC have given CC more time? Clearly results and performances say no - but hey it's the fans fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was probably the day after Neil started the thread about the large chairman mao murals in the north west terrace. I imagine plain cloths heavies in dark glasses, a small room without windows, and a spot light were involved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no information whatsoever on the club or chairman finances mate As for promotion god knows but am sure we can all agree that promotion this season under Carlos wasn't going to happen sadly.

If there's been any abuse of the chairman and manager then as/when it's been reported via the report system the mod team have been straight on it I'd put Owlstalk up against Twitter, other sites, facebook groups etc any day of the week when it comes to personal abuse. We just don't tolerate it and we have 1% of anything you see on any other platform As for criticism - there has been much, plenty and a considerable amount but that's reflective of the club's current position, ticket pricing and the performances on the pitch. Amazing how abuse and criticism are confused. It must be a very fluffy insular world if saying Carlos or the Chairman are underperforming, is classed as abuse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More immigrants working here than anywhere else in Europe. Many support swiss clubs too. You stick together. This site has been a platform for abuse. Bit rich of you to claim it never happened, you want me to post the choicer items? Thought not. A neutral Swiss person. Who'd have thought it. Merry swissmas.

CE-Owl Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I was in agreement with the OP until he said the worst football since Megson. The fact is the football under Dave Jones became dire following promotion and I seem to remember from Mr Owlstalk himself: 1) the constant defence of DJ 2) the insinuation it was the fans fickle nature for wanting him out.
