Absolutely mate, it's a great board where people pop in and out for a chat.
I'm just tired of all the takeover saga. By accident I came into contact with a close friend of Fuhrman at exactly the time he said 'I've just bought Sunderland'. You can imagine how that felt as a lifelong supporter.
I was told all sorts and allowed to talk about it. As a result of my posts I was contacted by other people, including one at the club, who passed on info they couldn't, or didn't want to, post.
It was all like a dream until the terms of the deal changed at the very last moment and the whole thing fell apart. There had been a purchase company created, the address registered as the SOL and the buyers openly appeared at matches.
There was a huge sense of disappointment and anger, much of which was directed at me being the most convenient and accessible target.
That's fair enough, as you reap what you sow, but some of it, which still occurs, is ridiculous. As a fanatical supporter for over half a century its sad that I've become an ongoing target of fellow supporters. These same people throw up their hands in faux horror when I respond in kind.
All they do is scare off other people with genuine info that we'd all appreciate. One lad
@Starsky refused to post until this last week. He has a mate who's a close friend of Donald in Oxford who knows exactly what's going on, but Starsky, having seen the abuse
@Prehab26, etc, has received, didn't want to post honest information for fear of being attacked by fellow supporters ... what a shame some people can stoop so low, the so called ITK's have been called vermin, etc, just this week. People continually try to pin you down, ask for more info, times, dates, names, etc then throw it back in your face if anything changes.
Anyway, that ramble is for you and anyone else, who's not familiar with the general situation. I'm not speaking for me alone, but for everyone who's had to put up with these idiots.
Plus I'm sitting here bored, quietly waiting for Mrs Smug to wake up and make my breakfast ...
... I'm absolutely starving
