Folks, last night as some of you will know I created a thread stating that I was going to leave NOT606. Things were very much said in anger and as such earlier today I felt the need to PM the MODS to explain my view with regards to the previous nights events and the reasons as to why I felt I should leave. I also took the opportunity to PM fellow posters who had been supportive of me. Having read some comments tonight, and the feedback ive had from the MODs and fellow posters, Ive decided to grow some balls and stay and fight for my corner. My views have not changed in the slightest, I still very much feel as if our views are being stifled by Newcastle posters who feel the need to comment on everything Sunderland. I think Wease555 summed it up perfectly when he stated "I think the point I am trying to make is if you come on our boards expect to get some grief because guess what, there will be some Sunderland fans who have no interest at all in what you have to say and will tell you so. I am not saying I agree with that stance or indulge in it myself but please don't be surprised if you encounter that attitude whatever the rights or wrongs of it." So whilst I accept I snapped in anger last night, I have decided to take on board the advice I have received from our MODS and MackemsRule today and will no longer let the buggers grind me down !!!!
Takes nerve to bite the bullet and come back to fight your cause so I commend you for that mate. Having said that I'd point out that all these grand gestures, that we keep seeing at the moment, serve as nothing but credibility killers.
Well said, Biffa, because you can't fight a corner if you're not in it. I agree with your comments, as you should know. Now. Lets get Cest back. x
It's only an Internet forum mate, don't take things too seriously, I used to get really pissed off with all the excessive swearing on here and almost left, but I ****ing love reading about and discussing football, so I will never ****ing leave here, they will never ****ing grind me down.
I too tire of some of the tedious mags...... Then i just think of BDU, the dungaree wearing simpleton working on his memoirs.......and i smile.
Wel, well, well. I packed in posting last night after the FT whistle went as I have my own rule that it's best not to post on the day of a match, just I get too wound up and find it's best to calm down a bit. I had a right few words with CEST and I can say I'm sorry to see him gone as he was passionate - maybe too passionate at times. We can all disagree, it's for an adult to not let that anger/ire etc get to them. Biffa, if you're a Bruce Out man, Bruce In man, state your case on this and other matters. Me I'm a Bruce Hokey-Cokey man until the end of the season. Let's enjoy the forum we police ourselves. KTF
Rokerlad..I think last nights unsavoury events happened because perhaps the realisation set in that I had become a 'Bruce out' man.As much as I try to fathom out his reasoning behind that team selection, I cannot for the life of me understand why he did it.To make matters worse his post match comments were bizarre in blaming his strikers when he didnt start with one. Personally mate I wouldnt be surprised to see an established striker come in before the window though Iam not convinced that Santa Cruz is the answer.Sess isnt a striker in a thousand years and the two young lads need time.Next game is crucial if we suffer defeat I fear the man may be gone
