Apologies again folks for the slightly scattergun approach
in updating the blog. I have been busy preparing for Christmas and had a number
of life changes I am adapting too. This should all settle down.
I would write a review of the Ipswich game but I think that
ship has sailed somewhat and would be a bit of a waste of time to write a match
report.
That said the failure to beat a side we are usually successful
against and the fact it as goalless has whipped up a storm of hysteria again. Now
that were are getting deep in the season there are fans who think that because
we aren’t in the top 2 yet or that we are yo-yoing in and out the playoffs that
this is failure.
May I remind those people that there is always a Johnny come-lately
to the playoffs. That nothing is decided in December and that in all reality these
people basically change their mind on the state of play with every result.
Last week after winning against Wednesday and being in the
top 6 they’d have all been happy. But following a slightly cryptic Billy
interview where we assured us all he gets along with Fawaz despite anything
thinking the opposite and then the Ipswich draw that suddenly it was all hand to
the pump and time to panic.
Some of what has been said on the net this week is utterly
laughable and I’ll cover that later. There are some users I could do a Twitter
Idiots special on with the pearls of utter nuttishness than fall from their
head through their fingers on the keyboard and on to your screen.
This weeks menagerie of weird rumours was that Jim Price has
left/ been sacked / walked the plank. Furthermore are the rumours Billy wants out,
but wants sacking to get his new shiny four year contract paid off. There are
numerous fanciful transfer rumours flying around too.
I think what it illustrates, and I will look into later, is
that students are bored. When they break up from Uni many have nothing to do
and seems a handful must be happy just making up rumours. In my head I am
thinking and it seems this happens every time around school and Uni holidays,
so in my head I’m thinking bored kids and teenagers just make up crap for
attention of for Lolz or whatever they think they are doing these days, rather
than the actual creating frictions and fissures in the fan base.
It’s ridiculous. It’s not even Christmas, we are on the edge
of the playoffs with a number of top players returning from injury and people seem
to want to make out this is failure. Maybe your retarded standards but those of
us in the real world realise teams don't often just sit in the top 6all season.
There are peaks and troughs, and to use a Billy phrase. Up s and downs, Twists
and turns.
Enjoy the ride
I would also like to finish this piece, which is my first in
a while by paying a momentary tribute to Kev Finnegan, from Vital, who passed
away. I often disagreed with his views, but he’s been a contributor to the
online Forest community for so long and that can’t be forgotten, he will be missed.
