What gets my goat about a lot of the "Allam fan club" is their faux "outrage" whenever someone even mildly says anything critical about AA's running of the club. Usually followed by a desperate grab for the moral high ground,before the usual,archetypal pro-name changing monologue is blurted out as an indisputable fact. There are some erudite pro-name changers/Allam fans who will engage in a reasoned debate,but there's a fair chunk who'll forsake the use of paragraphs,good grammar and apostrophes to issue their "copy and paste" bullshit.
That's pretty much how I feel about the majority of Anti Allams, CTWD members etc on here. They do exactly what you describe. PLT is their leader in this respect.
Agreed.The only good thing about the whole name change topic is Old Needy Man spends a little less time name dropping!Nigel Benn?ffs
Hardly. You seen the *****lific HDM comments page??? The serial callers to 'Umbersard Sportstalk who struggle to complete a sentence before spurting their usual bile.....and then there's the sort who post their "angry from Manchester" 120 word block of indignation against the CTWD/Anti Allam "brigade" on this very forum. CTWD,their members and their successful part in the name change decision given by the FA have already proven who are the intellectual superiors.
You see the problem is sunshine you quote been in the silent majority but the majority as can be heard at every home match are against the name change and the reason you get given grief is because you keep quoting Allam's bollocks
If anyone needed evidence that boxing can cause brain injury, then look no further...What does he know....?? FFS
And you shouldn't patronise either? You may have three degrees but know Jack Sht about dogs. I've bred terriers for nearly fifty years - my present companion has had three or four name changes but still comes to hand whatever i call him. Do you really believe it understands a word you say? Really?
Why have you rebranded your dog? How much did it earn in sponsorship from the Far East? Also I do believe dogs believe many words you say. Actually I know, it's a proven fact that they can understand what we tell them. What you should be asking is, does Assem Allam understand a word he himself says?
I can live with Hull City Tigers and to be honest I could accept a hull Tigers. But for the latter I would not watch or go to games. I would never renew my pass. Actually I would probably go to one or two games, to watch the football, but not to support either team. Maybe take my Grandson to watch Southampton.
Why should I ask anything about Assem Allam? I'm not pro name change and not interested in any of his inane ramblings. Please give me links or other such proof of your proven facts about your amazing ability to talk to dogs though, I'm interested in that! Perhaps you could tell mine to pick his own sht up?
I'm completely indifferent to the name change, the name of the club has no effect on my support. Neither does league position for that matter. As a result I don't usually get involved in name change threads. I do however have a couple of questions for anti name change members. 1) would the name change stop you supporting the club?If no, what does it matter. If yes, then: 2) what makes you less fickle than the fans who will only support us in the premier league?
You cant see how only supporting Hull City is less fickle than supporting any Allam-owned or Hull based team as long as they're well funded? Yet another one of these poorly thought out 'I'm not pro name change but...' posts.
My honest answer is I don't know what I'll do if the name changes. Supporting a club is not about logic. It's about a feeling. I couldn't choose to support another club, I support city for lots of reasons from the city I live in to the club my grandad supported. Technically I should be a Hull FC fan, that's what my dad brought me up to be - but I think Rugby's ****, so I never got into it. There is something that feels right about City, and it's something completely irrational. I will continue to support City or even Hull Tigers as long as it continues to feel right. But if that feeling goes - then there's nothing I can do about it. I could have a holiday for the money I spend on City. Why would I keep spending it on a club that means nothing to me? Why would I continue to invest my time in a club that could be any club? I hope that would never happen - but it was happening last year. The more the name change debate rumbled on - the less I was checking scores. The less attention I was paying to transfers and upcoming fixtures. It wasn't a concious decision - it was just happening. What do you think would happen if this were happening to Bristol City rather than us? If their owner said Bristol Robins was better. How many of their fans would say that as long as Bristol was in the name it's the same club, when Bristol Rovers are just down the road? For me, you don't need a rival for that principle to still be there. I don't like pissing contests - I don't want to say I'm a better fan than the next man - but you've chosen the word fickle. If I end up walking away from this club - I'm not gaining a thing. It would devastate me if the club I've spent so much time supporting was suddenly gone. There would be a massive Hull City shaped hole in my life. If a person can stop supporting City because we drop from the PL, they are dismissing the league where Ian Ashbee scored that late goal against Palace in 2008 - probably one of my favourite memories of the KC. They're saying, unless the opposition are top flight, then City are worthless. I'm guessing they won't be worrying about it too much when they don't renew their pass in July. The club would still be there for them, but they wouldn't be there for the club. That's what I consider fickle. Also dropping down a league happens in football. We will be relegated one day. There are a only handful of clubs who maybe won't. Blackburn won the league when they had supportive owners - now they're in the championship. Supporting a club means accepting that. That's my view on it anyway. Maybe I am fickle. I'll have to deal with that. But to me, a fickle fan is someone who is only there for the club when the times are good. I don't think you can compare that to people who reluctantly walk away when they have to admit that the club is no longer something they have any feeling for.
U r very cleva wiv thu inglish langwich arunt u Are you so wonderful in life ? Seriously, that is the most pretentious post iv'e ever read.
It was in media studies indeed. And that must really get to you, because, despite what your completely incorrect assumptions of humanities graduates are, you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. The fact that you were so angry that you felt you had to respond with what you thought was a clever, well structured riposte is laughable anyway, but to then assume you know even a single shred of information about me is just...well, it's ridiculous. I mean, you've made the one post on this thread and I can already see that I'm much, MUCH smarter than you. Still, I'm quite happy sailing through life at this pretty impressive rate (I know, but if you've got a horn, toot it), I'll make sure to chuck you 20p one day as I pass you in the street (I assume you're typing this on one of the computers in Currys, presumably by mashing your face into the keyboard, judging by your sparse use of spacing). I mean you even missed the opportunity to have the username" C-Allam-ity Jane" in there. Seriously. Do they make you wipe the windows afterward, or do you just go ahead and leave the dribble and tongue marks on there for everybody to see?
I always figured the name was for MY benefit, not the dog's. The dog obviously doesn't give a **** what it's called, it doesn't sprechen ze English. If I had a dog called Jim, I wouldn't be arsed about calling out Jim in a park. If I then came back the next day and called it Anal Rapist Dick Blower, would that not cause undue embarrasment to whomever I was out with? "Say Tommy?" "Yes Dan?" "What football team do you support?" "Hull City." "Great!" *5 YEARS LATER* "You still supporting Hull City?" "Well Dan, I think you'll find it's Hull Tigers now." Dan then laughs himself into a coma, prolapsing his rectum as he lapses into unconciousness.
