Quoted from MeanwoodMariner


Completely agree with the storm in a teacup comment.

Understand your "wait to the end of the season" stance but I disagree with it. I think we should absolutely enjoy the individual wins as we go along. I got carried away with the bank holiday euphoria and have no regrets about it despite the drop in form that followed.

You final point about him staying away from the Fishy I am undecided on. I think you may be right but I think that is a sad indictment of the Fishy rather than JF. It's essentially an admission that as a forum we are collectively not mature enough to cope with him being involved. This episode has shown that some fans are so quick to get themselves enraged at the gentlest of ribbings that he probably should leave all of us clowns to squabble among ourselves.


I just think he leaves himself open to misinterpretation, in my opinion a man in his position should stick to prepared statements released via official channels. But if he continues to post occasionally, I won't lose sleep over it.

Look  people are just missing the point. Everybody should post. It's obviously me. I'm ducking out here. I'm off to find a sense of humour.

Think so in this case mate, he`s as much a fan as  the rest of us,  more so if taking all the sh1t that he does and still cones back for more, cut the guy some slack support the team/management/directors  as I`m sure you do

Well this is embarrassing.

John has every right to post on here if he so wishes. We can't deny him that. In my personal opinion, if I were the major shareholder of a football club, I'd probably steer clear.

I'm not so much annoyed at the fact he's posted; it's the content of his post, and the way he's said it.

If he was so ecstatic with the win, why couldn't he have just said that? Instead of goading a certain group of fans. We were always told at school to ignore the clown at the back of the class who was always messing around. Starve him/her of attention and they'll soon stop it.

But John's decided to stir it up.

I'm sure he's a nice man, and I truly believe he has the club's best interests at heart, but as a senior figure at the club he really needs some help in knowing when to speak, and what to say when he does.

He also needs to know that 'having a go' at our fans, whether they deserve it or not, is never a good idea. That might seem unfair to him, but by simply talking about how happy he was at yesterday's result, and ignoring the prats that wind him up, he's rising above it.

But he keeps stooping so low, taking pot-shots at them, and that makes him as bad as them.

Rise above it, John. Please.

He's achieved what he was after. I suggest we let this thread slide into oblivion until next May.

Which is precisely what I mean. That's all.

Or until the next couple of defeats, when the negative types get their turn  to play with the ball, and so on..... Dismal thread, can't believe the Fishy has turned to this after such an exceptional win.

John Fenty in 'normal behaviour' shock.  Jeez guys, give the man a break.  He can't do right for doing wrong in the eyes of some.  John, if you read this (please bear in mind that I have 'previous' when the amber nectar flows), I for one see nothing wrong with wearing your heart on your sleeve.
