10th

[IDM]

Why? 'forum admin' have been liking dickos posts so apparently they're enjoying this just where it is.

Are you implying this thread is not a simple contrasting opinion on football as he claims?

I often admire Dickos' positivity but this is no longer a football discussion.

Just in case you have forgotten the subject of this thread is 10th and that is where we still are. Good results for us today.

Can't believe we're still in 10th, plus Peterborough not being able to beat 9 men! There is hope!

Yes, we didn't do badly whilst not playing today.

Onwards and upwards!

I was losing the will to live so thanks for your post on the post subject - yes, great news

[dickos1]

A couple of good late goals for us too for Blackpool and Wimbledon.
Tough game on Monday but if we can pull off a win we will be within touching distance of the playoffs albeit with lots of tough games coming up

[ravenrover]

just got to this thread I love the way Dickos has got his retaliation in 1st it makes a change from all the negativety that we see from the usual handfull of posters and their cronies  We wont win the league, there was never any chance of that, consolidation was the aim and I must admit up to the end of November I was a little concerned, I feel a little more comfortable after this month but that's not to say we can't have a collapse as we did 2 seasons ago As a book of fairy stories says he who throws the 1st stone shouldn't live in a glass house. Don't knock Dickos for his optimism there are ways to disagree other than the ways some go for his throat and if you can't take it don't give it JMHO

Self-inflicted. It seems that plenty of people share your positivity but they don't get the same "stick" - what's that tell you?

It tells me that you're someone who thinks that the person who gets the stick is inflicting it upon themselves rather that it being the person wielding the stick who's doing the inflicting.

[Lesonthewest]

This  The quote from Ravenrover.  Carry on carrying on, I respect Dickos positivity & objectivity, don't always agree with it, but he more than balances up the positives from the negatives, like it or not.

Haha if you like.

If you're antagonistic and pedantic towards other people constantly they'll probably give you some stick, that was my point. Well done on selecting one line of my post and running with that though

Why should I have quoted the whole of your post - did it contradict the bit I did quote? Not that I could see, which was why I didn't see the need to quote it.

For the context of the other points I was making. Why would I contradict myself in one post? 

 

[Monkcaster_Rover]

Good results for us today. Bound to be a big reaction from Peterborough Monday so I'd be happy with a point.

And the point you were making is that you think it's the recipient of the stick to blame and not the giver of the stick. Isn't it?

Not exactly no. Can't be arsed to explain it and keep boring everyone to death with off topic posts. Plus I'm sure Dickos can speak up for himself.

PM me if you're that bothered and genuinely don't get it. I sense it's not that though and you're just being an awkward bugger.

I know that you're saying that sometimes posts attract stick, but any stick given is always the responsibility of the stick-giver and not the recipient. You seem to be saying the opposite.

Your opinion Glynn, your opinion.  But, you're another of the handful on here who will argue just to be contrary and will insist on having the last word.  Just as you're going to do now.

I first replied by paraphrasing what he himself said. I was not being contrary in any way. I will argue about something if I think it needs replying to, I don't do it just to be contrary. No doubt by saying this you'll make out I'm trying to have the last word by not tacitly agreeing with you.

PS Are you in agreement with pib that people who give out stick to people (who maybe attract it) aren't responsible for their actions because the recipient deserves it?

[glosterred]

You can all stop arguing now about the merits of being 10th, we’re now 11th....... so 11th, good or bad?


COYR

[drfchound]

11th is good, especially when considering where we were not so long ago.
We have had a good turn around with recent results, especially with that draw today.

[i_ateallthepies]

I think that people who don't care that their insistence in having the last word in discussions spoils the forum experience for the majority of people who just want to discuss issues without conflict.
What pib said strikes a chord with me because Dickos seems to make it his calling card to get into argument with anyone expressing a legitimate concern on some aspect of the club or the team.  That gets under peoples skin and I find it perfectly understandable when people get exasperated with him.  So, in that way, Dickos certainly does bring it on himself.

Ah bore off,
This was settled days ago, what you bringing it back up for after a great result like today's?

[coventryrover]

We are only half way through the season.  11th is great.     But for those late goals things could have been different but that's football.


We are on a positive trajectory now.  If we can largely stay this way we may have an elongated season.

I don't get to many games now but took my little lad to the Rochdale game.  The first half was great and shows lots of potential.

Re the arguments on here...it's always gone on.     Unfortunately  two or three viewpoints, negative or positive, can make a thread hard viewing.   I make a point of avoiding the forum for at least 3 days after a defeat.  Instant responses to a disappointing result can skew reality; reality sets in after a few days.

Remember, it's only footy and it is meant to be a release from the trudgery of life/work.   

[dickos1]

I question someone's negative post and it's me looking for an arguement. People question my positive post and it's me provoking people.

It's boring now

[IDM]

Happy being 11th after where we were a few weeks ago.

Great performance today, competing throughout, especially with several player changes..
