No true Charlton fan would post what he's been posting recently. He's basically a football fan rather than a Charlton fan.
It doesn't feel great reading that the admin of another Charlton fans' forum is tired of the Club and all things Charlton at the moment. Especially when - current form aside - we have so much to look forward to now in the next few years, under an owner who really seems to be bursting with enthusiasm (not just putting it on). An owner who can heal the wounds of so many years of division and dreadful stewardship. But to me this does at least partly explain the earlier comments regarding TS. Reams has also said that he's fed up with somebody or other shooting him down for pretty much everything he says. Some may argue that he says a lot of controversial things, so is fair game for some strong feedback. But too much negativity can get anybody down after a while, even if they're giving as good as they get (or vice versa). I don't know Reams, I've never met him. So I can only go by what he posts. But he does sound pretty fed up - a state of mind I probably haven't done anything to improve since the weekend. In the past when things were bad I've said a few times that I didn't really feel like a Charlton fan anymore. When the team played, I wasn't moved by the event or the result in the way I remember from less conflicted times. Maybe - for differing reasons perhaps - Reams is feeling the same way now. And I think many of us know that feeling. It isn't good. You wouldn't wish it on a fellow football fan. Even when fans are allowed back into football grounds, getting to the Valley isn't the easiest of things for him. A few visits to the racecourse ground to watch his boyhood Club is probably just the thing to help heal a weary soul, and rediscover a love for football. I hope it does the trick.
Reams has always been a bit fiery but it has seemed worse than normal of late , I know his eye problem must get him down somewhat but really!? I’m sure he does a lot of it for a reaction if I’m honest
There are some good posters there, no doubt about it, but the intensity of the anti-Bowyer stance has driven me away, I'm afraid.
Yes I totally agree. I liked a lot of the posters but blaming Bowyer and Gallen time after time was bringing me down. Even when we win. I don't know why he is running a Charlton Forum as he doesn't seem to like us. I feel much better now I am not part of that Forum anymore.
He has to go against the majority. Dislike Powell, support the Belgians, now dislike Sandgaard. It's all a load of cobblers.
I have some experience on that front too mate, and did take quite the break from the forum recently too due to my own mental health. (Not the forums fault I must say, but like you say you don't want the negatives when you feel the way you do) If I can ever offer any insight or help in anyway mate I am just a message away. But it is important to feel the feelings from the loss of your cousin too, without anything else adding to the grief, so just be kind to yourself mate, and like I said, If I can help in anyway I would be most happy to.
A very sad and emotional Ivor yesterday. It's been a journey. From Wrexham, to Charlton, to Cardiff. It now looks like Wrexham will be having 3 new seats occupied after COVID.
I've always been able to get to The Valley, door-to-door, in an hour. So if he starts going to support his local club I can empathise with that, no problem. No need to blame Bowyer though.
You have to follow your heart in football. If Reams is feeling the call back to his boyhood Club Wrexham, he should heed that call in my view. He'll be happier and ITTV will carry on with somebody else looking after it. You might even get back on there Elfs
