Matthew me Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Looking at the amount of new topics being started on the forum, it appears to be very slow recently. Is it fear of being shot down when making a new post? Nothing new and exciting ? No city games for a week? Just feels very dead on here recently. As a long time observer of OTIB and recent poster, I think this is the least active I can ever remember it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dastardly and Muttley Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 International break. Not much going on in the transfer window. We’ve won a few games. Give it a couple of weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, downhill, fast. No matter how we didn't actually deserve to win last season's game at oakwell, I'm still trying to get over their comeback. I think it was at that stage I realised we weren't exactly the real deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 This forum traditionally is always quiet or at least quieter when we are winning games. Make of that what you will.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mihai Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 This is normal. When a team win you discuss 1,2 days about the last game and that's it. It is in our veins to talk more where we are not happy (when we lose). Look at my posts, when there are no transfers and summer break, i post at most 10 messages per summer, but I still follow the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fatchers Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Add that all together then factor in the current covid situation. Furloughs on and off , redundencies, wage cuts and disruption at home and work. Only one gift that just keeps giving at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red DNA Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 We’re top of the table - people are stunned and at a loss as how to react.

Because we're winning games, there's an international break and no big transfer rumours really. The politics section of the forum is busy however if you fancy getting stuck in over there!

Chappers Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 Because it’s not real football, just sterile TV stuff with zero atmosphere. Really can’t get very interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davefevs Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 I’m quieter on here as I’ve got 7 games in 21 days to prepare “what can we expect” threads. Barnsley is done (bar any managerial changes / big signings) and I’ve started Boro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wendyredredrobin Posted October 15, 2020 Report Share Posted October 15, 2020 It's because we've all been watching dull boring England, which is enough to dampen anyone's interest in football for at least a couple of weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such an odd feeling to be sat top and unbeaten. Albeit, early season... Feels good! Should we be top with four games to play, rather than 42, then there would be loads and loads on here. In April 2008, we were top after 42 games, and even that was a bit too early too read too much into being top. It is too early yet, being top might, or might not mean very much at all. In 2014/15 we were top most of the season and this forum was busy enough. But probably more so as the season went on. But anyway, let's talk about being top! It's great being top. Look at everyone below us! (Your turn ....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we are the biggest club never to have played in the Premier League. For over 40 years we have specialized in failure, third division football and dressing room drama and excess. We really have not had that much until comparatively recently. Before 76 we had 65 years outside of the top flight to boot. Plenty to moan about and underpin a culture. On top of that we are synonymous with the worlds best known piece of rhyming slang. :laugh:! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
