I don't understand your gripe with Asim - maybe he is negative but usually his points are well argued. ME used to be more like this but I think the long debates with af and FA have turned the debate into a personal crusade for him to be proven right, losing sight of the bigger picture. It is a shame ME didn't stick to making judgements about McNamara until 10 games and wipe the slate clean as he promised - it would show he can 'change the record' and give him added ammunition if the situation is as dire (as he predicts?) after said 10 games.
I think that there is an element of truth in this TBF. I know that people will get wound up by opinions that I make and, lets be honest, a lot of it is made with the sole intention of provoking exactly the sort of reaction that often results. Much in the same way that some people do not like my opinion, I can object to constant nit-picking and comments from certain people who seem to solely exist on here in order to have a go at points that, although are pretty much spot on, do not fall under peoples' opinions of what is "best for the clubs' interest".
All in all, I reckon that that I will try and calm down with my opinion as long as people realise that there are people out there whose sole aim seems to be to provoke an outurst then slate such an outburst when their job has been done.
Also, it always confuses me that if someone else makes the type of post that I often make then nothing gets said until I join the debate and then the vitriol starts flowing.
One thing is for certain though, and you touched upon it in your post, is that some people do take things FAR TOO seriously if, as has been mentioned, I am being discussed at the game by some people. Perhaps I am making more of an impact than I thought I could.
However, one thing I will add is that I have always been welcomed when I make a trip to Odsal by the Bradford people and that is something I do not wish to jeapordise. My opinions about the coach will take a hell of a lot of changing and we will see how things go from here. Hopefully we will see some improvement and I will have nothing to moan about?
It saddens me that some people feel that they cannot post on a message board because they do not like my opinion. I thought that a message board discussion forum was the type of place that people can onto in order to do just that?
But I will give it my best shot........
