    When we sacked Dennis, I was devastated, my dad and him became good friends, that put an end to my dad following the lads.

    Quite right.
    This is a place for expressing opinions.

    Oh! that' s just what he was doing though.
    Much as you are.

    Of course, this is just MY opinion.:emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Maybe I read what he said incorrectly, but I don't think he was telling folk not to express their opinions mate.

    I just think people are looking too much into it. He's visiting a member of family with cancer, maybe time to put this speculation aside and just support for a while.

    That to me sounds like he is suggesting rather than telling. He put his point across in a non aggressive way. Probably best if I stop there or we'll be going back and forth. I'm sure he'll reply himself soon enough mate.

    No he wasn't! "maybe" is a suggestion,not an instruction!

    IF, you are going to forensically annalise posts, I would advise you take more care.
    (Please note, this is merely a suggestion on my part, NOT an instruction).

    MY reading of the part you highlighted, starts with the word, 'MAYBE'.
    This is not an instruction.
    It is an ADVERB.
    He could easily have replaced MAYBE, with PERHAPS.

    TO ME, there is a big difference.

    Of course it is many years since my schooldays, so I by no means infallable.

    The story behind it is that he didn't travel back to Sunderland with the rest of the team on the coach afterward.. If he wanted to present a "were all in it together" he should have. This feels like another Lee Johnson after the loss to Bolton or Grayson at the SoL ....Home on his own.and away from the team. Grayson never even saw the lads directly after the game.. he was , I'm told, stopped from entering the dressing room.

    As your grammar aptly demonstrates :emoticon-0105-wink:

    I'd put Durban in there also, since I started following the lads. Reidy team was the most exciting team I've watched but he didn't have a plan B once Quinny was in decline.

    He was just going to see his family. It doesn't have to be any more than that and it in no way indicates a problem.

    People need to stop finding fault with everything the bloke does.

    Not worth it mate.

    Also to the others who seem to understand what I was saying, just not worth it.

    Under KLDs ownership our previous managers have been relinquished from their duties in a dignified manner.
    The 1st person to know would be Beale not some lunatic pretending to be a sports writer on twitter or facebook or wherever its been dreamt up.

    In the back.

    I'm a bit of an Imp fan, and have had at least half a dozen of them over the years. Brilliant little cars, let down by goverment meddling, and being both a bit too ahead of their time for British garages to know how to deal with an aluminium engine, and a bit too late in that they came out just after the Mini instead of before.
