Whilst I agree BW...it's not just football. People are generally apathetic in everything they do these days. 'Passion' is quiet hard to find, in the way we remember it. Society has been dumbed down and made apathetic and at ease for a reason...it's easier to control and lead in a direction you want it to. Do not question anything...because everything is being done under the guise of protecting us. Sheep being led to the slaughter is how I see it.

Red-Robbo Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Ironically the same thing that made that match a damp squib - the constant disruptive tactics of feigning injuries whenever we were in possession - was also what made the atmosphere "intimidating" according to Colin; namely that lots of us were incensed by the cheating and by the**** of a ref's buying into it. This wasn't "passion" it was all that is wrong with modern football. Did Atyeo or Gow or Cheese or Ritchie or Super Bob or Shaun Taylor or even Wedlock ever feign a neck injury, stopping the game for 10 minutes, to gain an advantage? No. The problem isn't a lack of passion in modern football it's a culture of cheating and unsporting behaviour and Colin is at the pinnacle of that in the football league.

If anything everything gets questioned these days. That's the beauty, and downfall, of social media more than anything. Everything gets questioned, people like Snowden and Assange are shaking up the system. (This is horribly off topic) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robin1988 Posted April 7, 2016 Report Share Posted April 7, 2016 Don't be downheartened by the one poor season of Cardiff games. All it needs is one fiery encounter and it'll be right back. It's not helped by the fact we've both had largely unenjoyable seasons, and both games were moved from 3pm Saturday. Assuming they stay down and we get a 3pm KO next season it'll be better.

No I won't go watch some prem football thanks because quite frankly that makes me cringe more and more each time I watch it. That's the point, what Warnocks team did the other night is exactly what happens in football matches up and down the country, especially the prem, except Warnocks team took it too another level way way above what is the norm these days. (And the norm pisses me off) What Warnocks team did the other night had nothing to do with passion and desire, it was IMO a crime against football. I didn't walk out of there thinking wow what a passionate game that was, I walked out of there thinking I'd been robbed of good money I paid to watch a football match and instead all I got was a bunch of cheating,time wasting ***** doing their best to make it anything but a football match. If you think that bringing out passion in fans somehow excuses Warnocks (and every other person in football who cheats) anti football approach then like I said you and I have very different views on what football is about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityfan Posted April 9, 2016 Report Share Posted April 9, 2016 So we are doing our job today which is good, but equally, Warnock today is helping us both out. Let's hope it finishes this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting you say that, the other day I was thinking of how we as fans weren't so vocal about our displeasure of Cotts this season, as we had been about Keith, Derek and SoD in the past… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes possibly. I think I really hoped he would come good, given time, but he had time and didn't. The Charlton game was the beginning of the end for me.

Ivorguy Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 You should have been at MK last season; Having supported City for nearly 70years it was possibly the best atmosphere from City fans I have ever known Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes I would have preferred relegation to having him here. I would stay away if he was our manager. I don't believe that any fan would ever 'prefer relegation' to having a certain guy in charge. And if NW was our manager and took us to the top of the championship, I reckon you'd sneak into Ashton Gate for a peek! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted April 10, 2016 Report Share Posted April 10, 2016 Last 8 games under NW, won 6, drawn 2, lost 0. Last 8 under NR won 1, drawn 1, lost 6. Think Rotherham fans will be happy with the transformation, and prefer trips to Villa, Newcastle & Norwich/ Sunderland, rather than Northampton, Swindon, and possibly the scruffy Bristol ground.

Plus many put two and two together and made five, thinking it wasn't SC's fault for this season going belly up. It's got to a stage where no one knows the real truth in the public domain...so all parties involved have pretty much gotten away with it. Anyway...all in the past...the future is looking bright at long last :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
