hypochondriac

Sums up my feelings perfectly.

In all the time you have been posting here, have you known the likes of Steve Grant to be rash with his posting or say stupid and unsubstantiated things? I can only speak for myself but I have always found him to be a very considered and sensible poster and one worth listening to. Do you honestly think that the likes of Steve are desperate to keep slating Cortese? I was actually a very strong supporter of Cortese initially (go and check my posting history if you like) but my opinion changed after a succession of what I would consider poor or misguided choices when no explanations were offered. I hate how the perfectly legitimate views of the likes of Steve and I are dismissed and we are portrayed as some sort of simple idiots who believe everything we are told and who have some sort of vendetta against Cortese. This is honestly not even close to the truth and I would like nothing better than for Cortese to reverse some of his more bizarre decisions or at the very least have some more openness and honesty with the fans.

I don't think there is anything wrong with people writing their initial reactions about a decision when it is taken. It is also natural that people will assume things if no explanation is given for a decision. If anything, my main gripe with Cortese is that too many 'controversial' decisions have been taken with little or no explanation given for them and all this when we were promised more transparency.

Erm no because I heard two separate instances of booing when Cortese was shown on the screen. I'm not assuming anything, I know what I heard. The fact that you heard something different is irrelevant. I'm not sure how you can argue and I can't believe I'm getting into this.

I think you are wrong that people have unrealistic expectations. Everyone knows that in the post Sky world we can't return to how football used to be. All I want is something a bit like Norwich, to feel that the club considers its supporters as one of the most important aspects of a club and to adjust things like price and the 'matchday experience' accordingly. At the moment I think we are being exploited slightly and I don't want us to become like Chelsea, even if we get a similar level of success. Knowing that the club listens to supporters is just as important as any success for me.

As is continually stated, supporting Cortese is very different from agreeing with everything he does.

Well I heard quite a loud boo from all around me. I would say roughly 20-30 people but others have said they heard boos from other areas of the stadium as well.

In my experience, it is the people who are very supportive of Cortese who tend to polarise the debate and make out the people who disagree with a lot of his decisions to be people who 'hate' Cortese or who believe everything bad said about him without question. I think that generally I find this very rarely to be the case.

I never said it was. But people were booing Cortese.

People booed on two separate occasions when Cortese appeared on the screen. Others have confirmed this to be the case and the commentator also made a remark according to Steve. Bit of a coincidence if they were not booing Cortese.

The booing when Cortese appeared happened more than once. They were booing at him. Others have also confirmed this I see.

doesn't change the fact that everyone around me were booing cortese

here we go again with the people who disagree with a number of cortese's actions must blindly believe every negative rumour routine. It's boring

The people around me were all booing at Cortese.

Well no because with a lot of the rumour (the Francis Benali one for example) I know that they are more than just rumours.

Nope totally untrue.

So you will sue an internet forum because someone has insulted your internet 'persona'? Lol.

I wasn't referring to this particular issue. I have no opinion on this because I don't know all the details. It was a general comment.

I think where we differ is how much good grace we are prepared to give Cortese.

Equally worthy of having their actions judged because they are chairman of this club.

Got a load of pin badges. Would have to look for the backs though. Not sure if they would be of much interest.

Well technically it isn't the religion but the people who do things in the name of religion.

Very loose definition of celebrity.

So have we...

Yeah but in fairness Labour could choose pretty much whoever they liked to represent them. They could pick names out of a hat and it wouldn't compromise the election process!
