Can't think of anyone who'd do such a thing Mike, on my high horse, no understanding of irony despite being a know-all (how does that work?), and pretending to be jovial and humorous, over and out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I’m not here to be an arbitrator between people who want to throw insults at each other, but I think it’s unnecessary to speak out when I see it in a hope that helps stop the escalation. When I said what I said today it was directed at what I considered one of those unhelpful posts, that was an attempt to discredit a person. Now tell me if you think I’m wrong in doing so? And if people have that much ill feeling towards each other then wouldn’t it be better to PM each other than have a mud slinging contest for all too see that just gets out of hand. Because putting people down in the quest for likes isn’t good and that’s what I believe I witnessed today. Hafnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without checking back I think the closest I got to mud slinging was to suggest somebody was a poor judge of character (based on the mud being slung at me), correct me if I'm wrong and I'll gladly apologise.

I’m not going to check Mike I’ve no need to, my statement wasn’t directed solely at you for what happened the other day, and today I was pointing out how unnecessary someone’s post was and how unhelpful it is when surely we want normal service to resume, if we can call what goes on here normal. Like I said I’m not putting myself forward as an arbitrator that’s the role of the mods, and if you think what’s been happening over the last couple of days is acceptable then that’s fine and we will have no more said about it. But what we can’t do is have one rule for one and another rule for someone else. If you believe Haf is wrong or out of order for what he said about people including yourself, then you have to accept what people have said about him is equally wrong, we can’t have double standards Mike because that just enforces Hafs argument that he’s been victimised when he gets personal with others, and nothing’s said when the opposite happens, so maybe I’m doing the very British thing of standing up for the underdog and little bit of justice, even if some believe it’s misplaced.

If only I could be more like "happy go lucky" Haf, always around to lighten the mood with a witty quip and his hilarious self-depracating humour. I'll keep striving for what I like to call "Haf-topia," but I don't expect I'll ever attain it. My therapist gives me little chance... "To cope with feeling defective, he develops an arrogant, superior manner that hides underlying feelings of inferiority… and also unconsciously sabotages himself, setting himself up for failure or embarrassment that reinforces his sense of inferiority” Sigh. Personal? I call this a passive aggressive, self indulgent, pretentious post that prompted me to reply to you saying get off your high horse. I don't think you appreciated me telling you that your supposed jovial front isn't what it appears. feel free to dissect what it is you believe you intended to convey - I've already mentioned passive aggressive though haven't I? as for the rest - I believe I accurately called out the cliquey playground bollocks that is on this site and has consequently proven so in following days. In short Mike - whether you believe it or not, my opinion is that some people are more equal than others and I personally couldn't give two shits if you agree or not. like I said the other day, I accept how my posts appear - I don't think you have that level of self reflection. It's a forum, a place for opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunlopp9987 Posted April 2 Report Share Posted April 2 Just gonna bop my head in here and say, @Hafnia, the issue I have is just seeing the same thing posted every time, regardless of the topic. Because then inevitably, every topic devolves into talking about Dyche and how he's not performing up to standard. I think the reason I keep pushing back is actually not because I love Dyche as our manager or think he's the best person to take us into the future. I keep pushing back because I'm tired of every thread coming back to the same talking point. I understand your position on Dyche, and I know many others share the same position, and I apologize if I said anything that was out of line. Honestly, for the sake of this forum and it's harmonious-ness, let's get Rafa back in so we're all in alignment again. Hafnia 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't need an apology thanks Dunlop - I'm not offended but some people need to look at themselves when they call out people for doing things that they do themselves. Palfy has eloquently highlighted this many times - people object to the person making the point rather than the point itself. I've done it myself - me admitting it isn't the issue, it's other people refusing to believe they do it. No one knows me on this forum and I've been a member 20 years. I genuinely think of these people I don't know as friends in the most oddest way. I've been all over the world and get a sense of home when I put posts out on here. our club is in a shit state and I do hold a lot of annoyance at the fact that I believe some fans chose to ignore glaring red flags that have been discussed on here over the years. People call it point scoring - I call it "don't let it happen any more" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 The one thing that's consistent about Doucoure is that when he downs tools - he really downs tools. Got his £130k a week extended for a year back in November..... not seen a performance from him since. I expect him to be sat on a footy in the warmup on Sunday.

Btay Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 We need to move away from players like Doucs if we are to progress as a club. Fantastic work rate but extremely limited footballer who limits the team. 130K is madness for the player he is. Sev and Sibdane 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure he's still injured watching him. But we're so desperate for any attacking link-up play between midfield and attack that he's only in because of that and its detrimental.

I get that, its the obvious thing. But why would he be flying earlier in the season and shit after his injury. I'm not convinced he was singled out, like with Ancelotti, under Lampard. But then, I will always try and find the positive, there's enough shit going on at the moment. Playing with injury is a more tangible reason in my eyes.

We have but I don't get that vibe from him, never have. We benefit from his 1 year extension too. But I do see where you're coming from.
