Danny Hall!

[Sean Thornton]

It was a few weeks ago, the bladesman account had misquoted something from Danny's article. Danny corrected him & Rob Staton said why doesnt Bladesman retweet articles rather than re-writing them. Danny Hall said something about journalists having to fight against accounts like this.

Didn’t they want an acknowledgement?

Sheffield United transfer notebook as boo-boy nears switch to rivals, Blades lose out on Prem target​

Describing RND, a player who's serious injury has devastated his career through no fault of his own, as "Boo-Boy" is absolute bottom feeder behaviour.

Creating a nickname out of the worst moment of a players career to put in your shitrag headline? Cunt.

Headlines are the responsibility of sub-editors, aren't they? I'm pretty sure the reporters don't write them.

 

[Millhousesblade1889]

The fact remains that The Star website is awful & full of pop ups and ads. You’d think they spend their time fixing that rather than moaning about accounts that are in a fashion promoting his journalism

 

[Tarqs]

It's not a nickname, it's what is actually happening.

Very sadly, a portion of our physical support can't wait to get on his back, and a bigger chunk of those on here just love putting the boot in.

He is a 'boo boy', because some of our wanker fans boo him.

I mean, you've done nothing but absolutely slag the manager off on this forum, calling him all sorts....

But they're 'wanker' fans?

Bladesman doing gods work

 

[metalblade]

Don't forget any negative about United from any of the local media takes a little bit of the focus away from the current shitshow at S6

Can't disagree with that. If not RND, then someone else will cop it. What the Kop did to George Long, he was a kid at the time, was probably the worst example I can recall. It was vile whilst there and even worse in the safe space in the ether for keyboard warriors.

They have to have someone to project their life anger on to and footballers are an easy target.

 

[NerdyBlade]

The OP is over the moon with Seles because of how poorly we have started.

When/if Seles turns it around and we start storming up the league the OP will be wanting him sacked and telling us every week he’s shit and not the answer even if we are winning every game. Mark my words.

Tbh I think some on the forum will be the exact same. Haven't played 5 league games yet and they're all demanding he's sacked

 

[LongTongeSilver]

Are there any actual examples of this?

Was just thinking the same. Doesn't come across as that unbalanced to me at all.

 

[GrunkyPeep]

Unless his sub-editor is writing his tweets too, I don't think that gives him a pass to re-use the shitty wording for his tweets.

Not sure what you mean? Some are exact same and right behind Seles you mean? Oh I agree with you, plenty will be still behind him and wanting him to have a longer go at it, nothing wrong with that, all about opinions… My point was solely directed at the op because he is a pig, he’s loving Seles and our league position at the moment, but, when/if we as a club start climbing the league and fighting for promotion he will want whoever is in charge sacked mark my words, he did it with Hecky and then Wilder, he will do it with Seles if he turns it around. He’s a pig.

Sorry, I should have specified!

Some on the forum will still hate Selles/want him out even if we turn our form around. Can't please everyone, especially considering the club did get a bit... culty

I assume you mean the so called Wilder cult? Maybe your right who’s knows, I can only speak personally, I was a big fan of his also and certainly didn’t want him sacked. But he’s gone and we move on, not too sure on Seles so far if I’m honest but praying he turns it around, and if he doesn’t I pray the next man does.. the OP though? Soon as we do well he will want that person sacked, for one reason and one reason only, he’s from the dark side.

While I absolutely wholeheartedly agree that the tone from the local media outlets has been extremely negative since CW left.

Imagine it’s a familiar face they all had relationships with. They’ve probably lost a source and coupled with the fact there seems to be zero leaking out of a club at the moment they probably all do feel a little put out. This doesn’t excuse the negativity though, I personally think it’s ridiculous that they were sticking the boot in after the second game. It’s not what an already divided fan base need either.

I do however think they’ve got a fair point when it comes to the copy and paste / regurgitate eveything X accounts. We’re in a day and age where online traffic, clicks and ad revenue pay the bills. If DH or any of the other local journos spend a few hours writing and article and post it online for someone to come and scrape the headlines and key bits onto a post on X they lose traffic, they lose revenue etc. Even when the person posting the tweet credits and links them, the majority of people want the key bits out the main tweet and skip the link. It’s going to be costing them a fairly considerable % of their income.

While I really don’t agree with the tone and narrative coming out of the local media at the moment I don’t want to see fellow Sheffielders lose their income. I don’t mine DH on the co-comms really.

Everyone needs to get behind the team, rally round and hopefully push on past this shit show start and delayed transfer window. Media included. No point in squabbling about it we are where we are

I've been on here since 2015, so actually I've done quite a lot more than slagging off the current manager, but that's by the by.

I said I was underwhelmed by the appointment, apparently as this was COH's 'special one' and nobody else was considered. After the first game I was bewildered by his subsitutions, taking 2 wingers off and replacing them iwrh Mike McCallam. Since then, his decisions have got more baffling.

I've called him 'clueless' and a 'charlatan', so which word do you actually disagree with?

I have also referred to the 'second coming' and the 'emperor's new clothes', but that is a dig at our hipster fans, who thought he was the best thing since sliced bread, until a ball was kicked.

The 'wanker fans' are the ones who booed RND (it would help if you read some of this thread).
Do you disagree?
Do you think they are right, and more of our fans should boo RND?

My point was wanker fans being those booing RND... but you've been booing the new gaffer for the past month (albeit in your head)?

There was no fanfare for the new manager, that's a myth. I think most were generally underwhelmed, but were of the opinion that you've got to back him (which the owners didn't until the past week).

Sorry, I thought it was you calling him a clown c* the other day, but I must have that wrong.

I would say what he achieved at Reading and, to an extent, Hull is hard evidence that he is neither clueless nor a charlatan. I will now expect you to make an attempt to twist and belittle those achievements. That’s your right, but it won’t actually diminish those achievements in any way.

Is he a good fit for us? Very possibly not. But calling him clueless and a charlatan makes it difficult to regard you as a serious poster.

 

[Carlton Blade]

He spent a lot of last season criticising fans for having any opinion other than Wilder is right about everything. Called United fans entitled. He's always going to take a bit of grief for that.

He's always seemed like a decent enough bloke, outside some occasional smugness. Plus, if a huge % of my income was tied to n individuals continued success, and writing books about it then I would protect them too.

No problem.

I don't mind people questioning my views, but it pisses me off when it's out of context. An earlier poster on this thread blamed Danny Hall for nicknaming RND a 'boo boy', which is why I replied, and why I pointed out that the people who did actually boo him, are wankers.

There was a fanfare from the 'Wilder is a dinosaur' mob. and if you don't believe me just go back to some of the threads after a couple of frieldlies, purring about how RS had reinvented football. These are the people I'm referring to.

I agree I've not been very positive, which is unusual as I'm pretty much a clapper. I just that that the decision to get rid of Wilder was wrong, but that aside, the second decision to appoint RS was worse. A combination of his unfathomable tactics, his ludicrous substitutions and his press conferences, where he spouts utter rubbish, have lead me to believe he will do nothing for us. Worse than that, he could set us back years at this rate. We sleepwalked into L1 last time, but at least KMc kept trying different managerial options (Speed/Adams/Wilson/Weir/Clough/Adkins). I'm not sure this lot are that interested.

Great post - generally the position I’m in, though I was more relaxed about CW going on the basis that someone was going to build on the solid foundations with a remit to “get us over the top”. I had reservations about a manager with little track record and ambivalence from his previous clubs supporters (Codheads) but assumed there was some hidden talent hitherto yet uncovered by philistines like me which COH tapped into. And I drank the Kool-Aid a bit listening to the NTT20 lads waxing lyrical about his tactical prowess. Fucking daft.

Alas we are where we are. You have to laugh.

Ok, an attempt to appear 'serious' for you then.

Reading were a L1 team under embargo and he had to coach the oplayers he had. He manged to move them up the table to near the playoffs, so fair enough, but it is nothing like taking on a high achieving Championship squad, fine tuning it, and getting more out of it.

Hull started well (0-3 at the Lane for instance), but the players soon ran out of steam, and they only stayed up in the end on the last day, due to others failings. A small achievement, yes, but hardly the mark of a master coach.

Neither of the above, suggest to me that he should have been the only candidate for a Championship club on parachute payments, expecting promotion this season.

The clueless bit comes from his substitutions here. They have been abysmal, and not have improved our position in any of the four games.

Charlatan? Well he talks a good game about high press and 'total confusion', but the only confusion I see, is with our players. When people like Peck, Burrows and Hamer have gone massively backwards, questions need to be asked. I don't buy the 'only want to play for Wilder' line, I just think they are completely bemused about what they are supposed to be doing.

Please feel free to suggest alternative adjectives.....

They have to be interested or their 100m investment is down the pan. They're not that daft.

Coco i agree with all of that however I think part of the reason our off the ball tactics aren't working is that Campbell can not press. The guy is a great finisher but adds absolutely nothing defensively. All it takes is one player in the press not playing his role and the entire thing breaks down. Ohare, Hamer and Peck are running around like blue arsed flies but theres always a free man and you can see how frustrated they are.

Selles needs to find a new way of defending or drop Campbell (which im not advocating due to his scoring prowess) for someone who can actually run when we dont have the ball

If youre judging managers being 'clueless' with regard to substitutions

I nominate Chris Wilder

The epitome of ‘hipster football fans’.

I don’t particularly dislike them, they were at the vanguard of the XG preoccupation and probably benefited from that when it seemed fresh or new.

The limited analysis of the XG was 2 higher than the G blah blah blah is a bit tiresome now and doesn’t provide a great deal of insight.
