    It's someone who attempts to come up with excuses and justification for the daft things our owners have done, there used to be loads of them, now there's just a handful.

    Yea yes they won the league but….
    Ffs it was an outstanding achievement on and off the field to do what we did
    What happened to the other two relegated clubs who came down with us? Sunderland? Lincoln were on a roll? we smashed that fuxking league.

    The Allams run the club how they run the club. There is no ****ing point whinging constantly they should do this that or the other. Yes we get it you don’t like them
    I don’t like them, more so ehab, but I just don’t let it affect how I support the club.
    New Middle Eastern owners with a dodgy background? I won’t like them either.
    Cockney venture capitalist on the make? I won’t like him or her either.

    Like other words used in other debates, it's a lazy way of trying to kill any conversation on the subject, for fear there's something that gets in the way of complaining.

    Obviously the Evangelism hasn't been a complete success then?

    I was referring to the term, not this particular situation, which in the grand scheme of things isn't particularly significant.

    Its a term used by someone who cannot or refuses to see both sides of an argument.

    I know the feeling Ehab...I once tried to spin the wheel back on my Electrity Meter with the aid of a crudely manufactured 'black box'.

    Ended up with a hair-do just like yours and a pre-arranged appointment at Airdrie Sheriff Court...

    It might be (a lazy way of trying to kill a conversation ....) IF that was the only response given.

    Taking an interest free loan when available seems a perfectly reasonable thing to do under the (covid) circumstances. However, why have we not paid it back (when others obviously have)? When do we intend to pay it back? Does not paying it back affect the signings we have already made? These are perfectly reasonable questions we don't have answers for. Over to you - Ehab.

    Yes, it was an outstanding achievement (to get us back to where we were pre-the **** show). No argument about that.
    You don't let it affect you. Fair enough. Many can't. We are all different. I'm some where in the middle. I haven't walked away, but I do detest them and I can't help but let it affect me. You keep harping on (I could say 'whinging constantly' in your language) about how fans should support the club whatever, and how if they'd have stayed to support the club then we'd be in a better place financially, could buy better players, etc (actually, it would likely just go to paying back the gift and the interest), etc etc. I understand and get the point.
    It's the owners that drove away thousands of fans, yes some were fickle fans, but many were previous die hards not PL newbies. They also drove away corporates & sponsors. This even happened during our 'golden' PL days; that really does take some doing.
    I won't stop posting my views on them. I detest them and what they have done.
    We are all different.

    Always reminds me of Ken Dodd's love child when I see that photo.

    I don’t need an excuse not to buy one. They’re not on sale so I can’t buy one.

    I had a season ticket. I never switched to membership because I preferred to pay in full once a year than monthly. Do you actually want fans to return and more tickets to be sold or would you prefer us to remain at 9,000 attendances so you and the other snarky ****s can boast about how you continued to pay your membership?

    Why am I coming back? Because we’ve been in lockdowns for more than a year and I miss watching my team live. Are you gonna stand outside the KC on match days interrogating people on why they’re at the game?

    Ooohhh a bit touchy
    I’m just interested why fans are coming back.
    I always had you pegged, not literally, as in your late 20’s
    Why would not paying in full bother you? how long ago was your last pass5-6 years?

    Do you think it's clever that City aren't allowing anyone to sign up now, or are you just arguing for the sake of it?
