Let's hope this new government bill gives us fans more say on decisions being made at our clubs. I mean, I'm not fully sure we would be in the danger zone as far as a Regulator is concerned. Are we paying our bills and on time? Yes. Have we moved ground? No. Possibly the badge issue. It's more about at this stage, existential risks to clubs. This isn't a defence of varied aspects but more my view on red flags for a Regulator. Possibly engagement with fans is one. 31 minutes ago, Tafkarmlf said: This is really scraping the barrel Man harrassed on one form of social media and blocks people is then harrassed on another form of social media for blocking people. Doesn't matter who it is, no one gets to abuse someone else Depends why he is blocking. Blocking for fair and valid criticism while it is of course his right, would be less than ideal.

Wouldn't Ashton gate as it's under a separate company and not owned by the football club itself? But I suppose in a way still protected under the same owner. The badge issue would definitely I should of thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly wasn't sold and leased back. I guess what I'm trying to say is, frustrating football decisions wouldn't necessarily be a matter for the Regulatory. Badge, engagement and maybe the ground via AGL moreso. 18 minutes ago, Tafkarmlf said: No it doesn't 'depend' it's not 'less than ideal' either The guy has agency and choice and even if it's a bot blocker or X being shit, then that's not anyone's business either as no one has a right to abuse someone else That's his choice albeit Benny on that video I posted said "If it's fair criticism you've got to take it" or words to that effect. Social media didn't exist then of course. Abuse is fine to block for, his choice but if people are feeding back in an appropriate manner their disappointment about and thoughts on the current sacking etc..and he's blocking for that, a bit disappointing. Put another way if he's blocking for fair criticism from fans of the club he owns. Well he has agency to do this, and I in turn have agency to find his thinner skin than before disappointing.

Jon I have a greater problem with as I question his competence at running a club based on his stepping up a decade ago and subsequent events and he is only really there in that role because he is the son of the owner. If they are getting abuse block away. Otoh engaging with fair or constructive criticism or taking it on board might not be the worst idea IMO.

fisherrich Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 The Lansdownes have run their course at AG. They will be gone at some stage soon. Ive been very anti Lansdown for nearly 2 years now and for good reasons. I do apologise for my stance. Many others also now see what a shambles this club is in. Apologies, but fans do need to wake up to what has been going on within Bristol Sport for several years now. 4 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's ' not even abuse' to you, may be damaging to another. Just because someone is on social media doesn't give carte blanche Something this forum seems to have completely forgotten “you and Jon made a great decision” That’s what was said. This is something the Karen society would class as damaging. Everything is damaging to them. That’s why one opinion which is different to theirs is damaging. That’s not abuse. It’s an opinion. But you can only have those in a Karen society if it agrees with the Karen. Otherwise it’s abuse. In fact being blocked for having an opinion is damaging. By the way. You’re quite right, and I’m sorry if this comes across as damaging, it’s just my opinion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mattredrobin Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Don't get the problem really, if someone was talking about you somewhere and you didn't agree with what they were saying surely you have the right to block them for your own sake.

Wilksi Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 2 hours ago, Tafkarmlf said: Morning Thanks for responding. I've no idea what a 'Karen Society' is and presume it's a pejorative statement about something? Getting blocked on one form of social media and moaning about it on another is odd. Rather than ' How dare they' and moan about it A better response is'fair does'and get on with life' The Karen society you've mentioned would then surely be those that have got the hump from being blocked? Don’t think the comment was ever “how dare they”, that’s a very damaging statement to make, as it presuming people’s feelings and then commenting on it. Very odd. Just to add to this, you start with “no idea what a Karen society is” but then end with what the Karen society is. Odd, since you don’t know what it is to begin with, but then have put people in there by the end. happy remembrance day everyone.

Wether it's the truth or not doesn't give people the right to say some of the things I've seen. If they abuse you by all means block them. I'd do the same. But if you block people just because they disagree with you it suggests you are not open to debate. An odd way to improve communication as Jon claimed he wants to do. On here I will give a like to someone I disagree with if I think they have made their case well. Why on earth would I block them? I have to be open to the possibility that they might be right otherwise what's the point of debate? It will be interesting to see whether Jon ever addresses the fans face to face. Would he have people escorted from the room if they disagreed with him? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Popodopolous Posted November 12, 2023 Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 (edited) I hope Jon Lansdown would be at the next Fans Forum. Who knows however- he should ideal world, be there rain or shine, good results or bad etc. A quick one for those who went to I didn't go to any, away day Q&A or similar with SL. Was he more open to debate or was it fairly autocratic? Fans who disagreed or challenged in a constructive manner, debated with or?
