And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....

The fans were never the problem in 2022. The playing group was toxic at that time.


Yes, the playing group was toxic, but for many of our fans the solution to sorting that was sacking Powell, so yes, some of the problem was clueless fans.

Go and read the 'Powell Out' thread - it's a very interesting &,at times, hilarious read.

To say that many fans were willing to give Powell a chance is false - at times on here, it was perilous to raise your head above the parapet if you dared show support for him.

Many of the posters on facethingy and instatok ARE fickle in my view.
There are less on here, but they do exist - again in my view.

When the team wins they are quiet.
When the team loses a couple of games then often there is unwarranted criticism of the team, the coach, the board or a member of the coaching staff.
I've no problem with criticsm that has a sound argument behind it.
I find you do tend to get knee jerk soundbites on other sites with little behind them - hence I tend to scan only briefly and very rarely comment.

Fortunately things are positive at the moment for us - long may it continue.


It's just human nature, I think, Fez. When you look back on past matchday threads (not just Wire, but any team probably), I suspect that in games that were lost, the threads will run several pages longer than those for when games were won. People post for different reasons and spleen-venting is one of them. It's not my own style, as I tend to avoid posting in the heat of anger or disappointment, but each to their own. I think of these forums as being like a virtual pub, and just like in a real pub, you get lots of different characters at the bar, with many ways of expressing themselves. All are entitled to their opinion, and we learn through experience which ones we value.

While posters are looming at 7-7, I’m looking at 10-10.

It's a little-known fact but FMC actually writes his posts on parchment, which he ties to the leg of a carrier pigeon. The bird then flies to a secret lair, where expendable minions upload the posts onto RL Fans. It's a complex system, admittedly, but it works.

That was probably me. I'm not really interested whether other posters find my posts surprising or disappointing. I try to be reasonable and think that IF the club has been aware of this for nearly two months they should have been looking for a replacement, either a like for like, or preferably (for me) a second rower or centre. If the news has been sprung on them relatively recently then it's fair for the club to start that work in earnest and be given time to find that replacement. The market won't be easy at the moment but that doesn't mean a useful player can't be found especially as Mikaele holds down a quota place.
