belfast owl lad Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 5 minutes ago, Great Big Galaa said: OK and I know I’m going to get negged to death for this but this particular article and the general negativity towards us since this process began could be used to our advantage? For instance usually in court cases, the jury is usually told to ignore any outside interference or certain comments that may be uttered during the process, yet I’m pretty sure despite told to, it’s very difficult to do this? We could quite easily claim that articles like today’s are putting pressure on the commission to find us guilty. Two clubs featured in this article stand to gain should we get points deducted or are automatically relegated? And someone from another club has arguably made a personal attack on Chansiri? Yes, and before the someone turns around and say well we could be guilty? I take this on board but from the outside looking in there seems to be pressure from outside to make sure we are? Anyway as I said before only time will tell but I think the fact the individual charges were dropped suggest it’s not as clear cut a case as some might think? "negged to death" Have you been self isolating on the moon? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Grandad Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 If the Daily Mail posted irrefutable video evidence on their website of Chansiri telling somebody that Wednesday fans were w*****rs - there are posters like Casbah who would say "Yeah, but Daily Mail" I really wish I believed in anybody as much as that.

It's mental Look there’s arguably been more negative press against us than positive in recent seasons hence why the view amongst some fans that you totally disagree with? The fact the Chairman seems to be only prepared to give one local journalist access to interviews seems to support this view. In a general view there seems to be a lot more going on in terms of battle lines being drawn on this site at the moment. As like in the DA days there may be something brewing in towards a power struggle between the fans and the club? There’s a new supporters organisation on the horizon after all? Just an observation some posters including yourself are a wee bit more active? It might be due to the lockdown, I don’t know but I get the feeling it won’t be long before the dark days of the noughties will be revisited? That said I’m not going to get into an argument as everyone’s entitled to an opinion and at the end of the day surely we’re all Wednesday fans who all want the best for the club.

If it sounds like that, it sounds like that. I suppose the Chairman has the right to speak to who he wants. Lets be honest would you give an interview to one of the commentators at RS who sounds as though he’s ejaculating as soon as the opposition touch the ball, as you’d quite clearly be concerned that you wouldn’t get the same objectivity as the Chairman obvious he feels he gets from Howson?

Exactly! That's what people forget After the initial relegation the next season's fun in a lower division can sometimes be way way more enjoyable than getting hammered each week in the division above it Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
