Excellent. That's the first time i've been described as self-rightous.
a) My original post, i believe, related to what i believe Blades fans are all about. Getting behind the team and making a difference. Which is what made me fall in love with this club, back in the 80's. To be attacked for that, just shows how our fan base has changed, and why the number of boo boys at games has increased.
b)I don't deny anyone an opinion on anything to do with United, that's our right as fans, and forums like this are the place to do it.
c) Blackwell is far from god, and i don't believe i stated that as so. Things aren't going right clearly, and i believe i stated that i would personally give him 6 games, with a fitter squad, before jumping off the fence to whichever side. This is only my opnion, anyone else has a right to agree or disagree.
c) In my oipnion, you support the club to win, not to lose, no matter what the situation is. It seems that plenty of posters would rather see us lose so that their rants on internet forums can be justified.
As someone else said on another post, Grecian2000?, this is a very sorry state of affairs, when supporters would see their team lose to get someone the sack.
The only thing that Blackwell getting sacked would solve is the number of repeated inane posts like this around the same old subject, followed up by vitriol just because you don't agree.
By all means disagree, thats fine. My opnion is that anyone who wishes that 'we get well and truly hammered' is going way over the top. Fair enough maybe to say he's not a Blade was harsh, i'll admit to that. But that viewpoint in itself just goes to show how fans think these days compared to what fans used to be like.
Is this another result of the Sky Culture. The success within a month mentality that exists throughout football these days?
Finally, if being attacked in the way you did for what i said is going to be main stay of the forum from now on, i may have to take a sabbatical like Silverfox did. If you thought that to question the guy's commitment was wrong then state that without getting personal and aggressive. May i suggest something like...'C'mon Pal. That was a bit harsh. He may want us to lose, but to suggest he's not a blade was out of order'. A response such as that would have been far more constructive, do you not think? You're probably a nice bloke, but i just think the current divide between fans regarding our current plight is creating a lot of tension, and this is genuine evidence of that.
Hope that puts a seal on things. Bring on Peterborough! UTB
On point a. I didn't attack you for getting behind the club=. I attacked you for belittling someones opinion in the way you did. For (seemingly) arrogantly claiming someone was less of a fan than you because he didn't share your opinion.
On you 2nd pint c. Not at all. Some of us want Blackwell out because we think he is taking us down the swanny. We think he has taken us as far as he can and that's why we'd sooner lose and have him sacked. You misunderstand Soton. I'd be happy as a pig in shit if Blackwell turned us round, took us to the premiership and kept us there. I'd accept that I was wrong. I'd kiss Duncans feet, buy Swiss Blade drinks for the night and have a picture of KB up in my living room if that happened. However, in my mind i'm 100% certain that he will not do this. hence I want him out. Simple as that!
Following on from that point (your point above in Italics). Yes it's a sorry state of affairs. A sorry state of affairs that Blackwell has got us into. It's nothing to do with Sky tv, it's the fact that (again IMO and many other) KB is a clown and we want him out.
As for your final point. I apologise if I came across agressive. I can see you apologised to chips and cake and hence you see your comments were out of order. Hence I will admit that ine were. It would upset me if you felt like you had to take a break from the forum because of my comments. You should not be subjected to abuse no matter how 'awful'
