The Steve Bruce appreciation thread

No I ask closed questions that means only two possibilities

Yes or no

I'll answer them.. I don't get that respect back and that's fine it just means I know you don't want to.

What I'm doing is asking questions that you don't like confronting.

Anyway you've all been shown to be demonstrably wrong over the past 3 seasons.

We can discuss the never ending goal post moves you've made about your expectations of you like?

 

No you're just closing people into a simple answer that ignores all context so you can claim you've won to stroke your pathetic ego

 

No im happy to discuss the side issues and I won't resort to insults behind my pc either. I grew up

They won't answer because they would have to accept my point and then I'll discuss their side arguments no worries because im honest not pathetic

I'll answer all questions

It's stops being banter when this happens... I won't just agree with people to suit you or anyone else

Leaving it here...

 

Okay a closed question to you.

Can a problem have more than one cause?

Yes or no?

You ask who is the problem, the players or Bruce? With most problems it usually, as in this case, isn’t down to just one cause. That’s why you don’t get your answers you want because it’s an engineered question where neither answer is absolutely correct.

And if you’re talking about the Prediction League then fair comment but I do think Jak rigs that. He has too many brown bags in his house for my liking. Otherwise you’re making it up again and you should remember what Dr Don T Makeitupagain told you.

 

Yes

See not hard to answer

I ain't hiding nothing

Want to answer mine now?

 

So why do you ask who is the problem, eg players or Bruce, where there is more than one cause and expect a “yes or no” answer?

 

Did Bruce finish 12th with this team?

Did bruce have a good a cup run?

Did you give Bruce any credit?

 

Because the entire thread is about me saying I credit where its due and that most nufc fans wouldn't do it.

I've answered your closed question

Now answer mine

Go on

 

Or perhaps someone hard wants to start insulting me again?

 

****in hell Roys on 1 today!

 

Time to leave it

Nobody will answer so I won't progress onto he side arguments

 

****!

 

Haha its banter really but people just won't answer my closed questions because they have got it in them

 

Yes

Yes

Yes

 

Bit like you last night with @magdad when your bollox was caught out!

 

Haha sometimes I wonder if its banter tbh

This is getting dangerous

 

I answered every question mate

I'm not giving a politicians answer

 

And by that theory means that currently Howe is making mistakes also. But it’s ok because it’s not his fault is the prior regime.

I appreciate he doesn’t have the players he would like but that can be said for Bruce.

Judging in on pure merit Howe is doing no better than what Bruce was with the same set of players. Imho!

Adding new players to the mix makes a comparison unfair on bruce!

 

The problem is Roy, a lot of your closed questions (not all) are the equivalent of 'are drugs bad for you? - Yes or no'

The answer will always be - it depends what you mean. It needs context. Just because a question asks for a yes or no answer it doesn't mean that either yes or no will be the correct answer. Sometimes the correct answer will be to ask for more clarity or context.

 

That’s a fair assessment I would say. I like this post. It’s actually pretty spot on!
