Who are we kidding? We love to have a go, but I reckon compared to many of the other football fans forums we are pretty tame and I'd imagine some of that is the threat of banstick and some of that is the fact that we mostly behave ourselves.

If you go to the Sydney forums when the club are going through one of their periodic meltdowns some fo the comments about staff and players are vile. We don't get close to that.

Re-reading this thread, a few folk need to understand the definition of scapegoat.  Oh hang on, I have it right here ....

1. : a goat upon whose head are symbolically placed the sins of the people after which he is sent into the wilderness in the biblical ceremony for Yom Kippur

2. a) one that bears the blame for others; b) one that is the object of irrational hostility.

It's not the shittest player.  Far from it.

And it's not about forum members, particularly those in the Isle of 21, arguing over who to have an irrational hostility towards (then it wouldn't be irrational).

Although I do note that Yom Kippur falls on 3/4 October this year, just as the new season starts.  Coincidence?  I don't think so.

Not sure the dislike of the previous scapegoats has exactly been irrational...

Just a reminder that slagging off players is against the rules of the forums, but it is okay to post an informed view of why you think a player has not played well.

Really would never have thought that was the case in any way.Some of the rubbish that gets said about players at times on here is just crazy.Just go look at most threads about game days and there is normally someone getting it.Have to admit its something i dont get and despite the claims of some it has been allowed to go on since season one.

Thats a humourous post from Patrick

The designation may be rational though often the comments are much less so... but welcome to the interwebz, keybored worriaz and the broader population.

These people can also vote.

Mostly.

If this season goes tits up, perhaps the blame should rest with our feeder club - ACFC?

If we are going to that level then it really should be Whole of Football and the lack of goalies early on.

I just find it weird that this thread exists. Aren't we supposed to support every player that pulls on a yellow and black stripey? I've never understood so called "fans" who target someone and yell abuse every time they make an error or make a stray pass. On Saturday, it was some young guy just across from me doing this to Brockie.

I think i know who that was - He took it waay too far. I'm not a fan of brockie but he just went over the top.

So no opinion allowed. Lets all say that Brockie is a wonder kid. LOL

Opinions are fine.  Being an obnoxious tool not so much (which is what he was).

Think it's overly violent and those 3/4 low angle shots, (the camera is always placed around half a meter of the floor), sort of wear on the eyes after awhile but yeah very different and pleased that an English drama is taking it to the Americans.

No, not Ricki, Richie Herbert. The one who signed Eugene Dadi.
