Meh Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 in terms of coming on here. Forum full of poison and sick of it - all the fun has gone and replaced by keyboard warriors that talk a good game but will do nothing constructive - just carry on moaning and quite frankly embarrassing themselves with erratic posts bordering on lunacy. See you for the summer transfer forum !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

054123 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I'm as pissed off with Lansdown as the next person but right own all I can think about is Wigan and 3 points. I really wish I was going, I love cheering the team on when there is something to fight for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's be honest, we've been shit all year and the transfer window I'm the summer was a poor affair. It's a testament to the forum that it took 7 months to reach this point. This will play out horrifically then we can all move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See you for the summer transfer forum !! Well..... I feel like those of us who sort of flirt with minor sanity and a degree of balance are now in such a tiny minority and that giving even a remotely considered view that doesn't involve the ol' dwarf small or Lansdown is a 'thingy' and we are branded as Superfan or misquoted ( eh @BobBobSuperBob?) Sometimes it feels like we're eating a bacon buttie in Islamabad. And the weird thing is - it's not like we actually want Lee as our Manager- it's just that we don't want to Nuke BS3 either.

Its strange that is is so negative on this forum. We are obviously in a bad run of form but is sacking everyone involved with the club the answer? Look I know the form has been dire, and the 8 game run of defeats was particularly demoralising. But what has surprised me so much on OTIB, is how some people have just totally given up. The complete lack of fight. We are in a relegation fight and people have downed arms because the conditions don't quite suit them. It's not like we are a club used to, or expecting success. I don't know if it's a way of preparing for the possible relegation, to help soften the blow? Saying "I told you so, I could see this happening for months" makes you feel better? Or is it world weary fans, who don't want the club to make the same mistakes again? It makes me think, who are worse in a time like this? The "head in the sands" or the "realists"? Ultimately, no fans have control but at least the 'head in the sands' arguably contribute more on a game day with their positive and encouraging attitude. Those who boycotted the game, well the players are probably better off without the negative feeling. OTIB is a core of City fans and I think collectively some have worked each other into a big froth of anger and frustration. This isn't me blaming the fans, BTW. Two way street.

For me, I don't get the 'let's rip up our entire club' stuff. I don't get posters called 'City Loyal' etc being anything but loyal and those who have posted CTID on many occasion who clearly meant CTI don't like the manager or results.

BCFC Grim Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 The seasons over for City too........ Shame as you seem a decent contributor. Don't take this personally but I never really understood the need to post your not posting, just take a few days off, and come back if and when you like. It's a bit " look at me " We are all city fans at the end of the day, we want what's best for the club and the frustration is bound to come out on here. While most threads on here are anti Johnson/ club atm, it's understandable. It's all that matters right now, we are going down without a fight so positivity is going to be at an all time low. It's the first time I've seen OTIB in agreement as a whole for quite a while It's only a forum............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know we are in a shitty predicament but some people, in my opinion, are blinded by their rage and frustrations. Some of the personal abuse aimed at LJ and SL is astonishing. Yes, they deserve criticism but saying stuff like 'LJ should jump out of a plane....without a parachute" or other far worse stuff, is just pathetic. It's got nothing to do with football. I think maybe OTIB is the new hooliganism for some people. Some pretty hideous sides characters on here moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ireneisagavsgod Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I love this club and I would love nothing more than city to win the next 9 games start next season in the same vein and Lee to take us to the premier league and I think anyone on hear slating him would be quite happy but let's face it it's not going to happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyInWeston Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 Neo is obviously dying. He'll come back in the summer seeing green codes all over the shop! Hopefully this means he can predict outcomes in the next season and we can all bet using these outcomes and make megabucks . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Dawe Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 I liken Otib during the bad times to rumination and negative downward spirals of thought and how this results in or compounds low mood and depression. Just going round and around with the same negative thoughts and comments. Not doing any of us any good. The club, meanwhile, is self-harming and needs intensive care.

Red Army 75 Posted March 9, 2017 Report Share Posted March 9, 2017 It's a forum . Opinions will differ arguments will happen. Especially at these shitty times . Don't take it so seriously. Sometimes people are right sometimes not . That's life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
