Geez, it always amuses me to listen to Kiwis whinge on when things get tough. It's the old All Black syndrome - where they win easily most of the time, and expect to win every game. When they get beaten, Kiwis go crying to Mum that's it's not fair, boo hoo hoo. Get over it. Kiwis have absolutely no pain threshold when it comes to sport, unlike just about everywhere else in the world, where you gain a sense of perspective through experiencing the ups and downs of the real game. It's character building and allows you to appreciate the good times even more.
Try supporting Swansea. We've had maybe half a dozen good years in the fifty odd I've been supporting them. And there is never any question about supporting them. You turn up and support, because it is in your blood, it is your tribe. It's a given. Harden up, or go and support the rugby.
Agree. Makes me laugh. I think there are a few to many All Black/Man Utd/Chelsea supporters on this forum.
Take a deep breath, this is why its called the beautifal game. What is possibly more beautifal than going to watch a team that is losing, playing cr*p and still supporting them, the coach and the entire the club. I think iwhen you find yourself talking more about the positives than you do about the negatives then you can proudly call yourself a supporter. Sure you can still call yourself a supporter if you focus on the negaitive but proudly?
I don't buy into those comments either that 'its because i care' i rubbish my team. Again, sure you can rubbish your team if you want but If your not part of the solution your part of the problem. And rubbishing them is not a solution.
2-1 Nix this weekend
What an absolute load of bollocks.
If you and some of the other so called 'real' supporters had bothered to read what a lot of people are saying you'd realise the problem isn't in the fact we're bottom of the league or that we haven't won a game yet, but it's the performances on the field which are absolute dog's-bollocks, and it's hard to see how they can improve given what we have at our disposal. So we can't say that the players seem to be lacking heart (and some of them skill, too), that the coach is making mind-boggling selections and in-game decisions, and that we lost on the weekend to an absolute disaster of a team? We can't say that? What can we say? Yeah, fark, yeah, we'll smash Sydney next week, eh, bro? FFS.
I really hope that we can turn things around because I love this club and I want it to stay here for a long time, but performances like this are eroding away the hard earned credibility we earned last season, and that's not good for the club and football in this country. We as club and football supporters in this country have the right to express our opinions and concerns, even if they do seem negative. But we didn't bring this negativity about ourselves, the team's performances on the field have made us think about the way things are.
Wooo hold the horses EG
I think you are one of those that needs to talke that breath ni mentioned and read the post again.
Firstly at no point did i say i was a real supporter and that you or others were not. Also i did not suggest that i thought everyone else was worried that we are bottom and skip over the performances. In fact i didn't mention anything about why people may or may not be happy to date.
In line with the forum heading (Stay strong, stay positive) i have a merely tried to give a different perspective on things. That being that despite how anyone may be feeling for what ever reason that thats just the beautifal game at work.
I did not and would never tell/suggest to anyone that they can not post or verbalise their feelings or thoughts (however negative and counterproductive i personally think they are) and have not done so in my post - In fact i have i mentioned that you can rubbish your team if you want.
Persoanlly from experience positivity has mofre success of breading positivity.
So, mate, i think it is you that pulls ones head in and read the posts. Alternatlvely stick to watching the AB's
Too fkn right. I echo the whole thing from the Brighton camp.
