hypochondriac

I'm very concerned by the lack of ambition at the club lately. It seems we are quite content to try to survive relegation every season which will obviously run out eventually.

Think I laughed at someone recently for suggesting Blackmore was biased. Whoever that was I apologise, that piece for radio was absolutely terrible. I'm very disappointed with Adam as I thought he was more professional. Seems I was wrong.

That made me lol.

Hasn't gone yet so reasonable to assume he isn't going until next week. Pathetic from the club.

MLG is commenting on your post. He's trying to get you off the scent...

That's the one no idea why I thought he was Australian. It may not have been his debut for us but otherwise it fits the description perfectly because that was a cracker of a goal and then he did nothing else. I thought he would be mustard.

Who was that striker we had on lan in the championship? Think he light have been an Aussie. Scored a cracking curling goal and I thought he would be superb. Did absolutely nothing after that.

Sadly not. I genuinely have no idea when we are getting rid of Ralph as much as I'd like to!

Has anyone said Matthias Jaissle? Seems like exactly the type of guy we would go for.

Idiotic. No point waiting until after West ham and making the decision on a game by game basis.

Will he be out today? If not I'll begin to lose respect for Sports Republic. Being successful in sport means knowing when to be ruthless and decisive. Waiting until after West Ham is a waste.

Why wait and lose another game with less points for a new guy?

If he stays in place and then we sack him after West Ham, we will have wasted another game we could have got something from and my opinion of Sports Republic would have nosedived. There is a point where loyalty goes from being a strength to a serious weakness and we have reached that point now. Ralph is going to be leaving soon, it's just a question of when. It needs to be now.

This has been really embarrassing.

I know this is city and we were always going to lose but I do wonder what the purpose of this continuing is. I don't think anyone seriously believes we aren't going to sack Ralph. What are we wasting time for?

They were always secretly gay but now that society is more accepting they are able to come out in public and let their queer flag fly.

That's fine to have that opinion. Not really the same as saying he doesn't have proper sources at the club though.

He's a local BBC radio commentator with good links into the club. Just like every other local BBC radio commentator. I happen to think he's a rather good one.

I don't think anyobe has really have they? He's clearly got connections though that's not really debatable. He's also been critical of the club in the past. I like him, he's not an investigative journalist but that's not really his job role.

Social media isn't real life. Look at the cess pool on twitter for proof of that.

What's that got to do with not having decent connections?

Why do you say that? I'd say he has some pretty decent connections.

That was sort of my point. I was surprised by the leeway many of the fans have given the team. I've attended a lot of games and I've seen a run of performances over a significant period of time that I've considered has gone beyond being acceptable. There's certainly an argument to be made about the lack of investment etc but the wild swings in our performances were what have eventually made me entirely fed up and I'm just surprised it's taken this long for it to be really vocal in the stadium. Partly I think it's because Ralph comes accross as a nice guy and seems quite easy to like.

You think the likes of West Ham fans would have accepted the turgid pathetic football and absolutely horrendous results that we've endured for two years with just a murmur or two of discontent a few games a season? I've actually been surprised by how placid the fans in the stadium have been over a long period of time. Ralph is fortunate to have had as long as he has had. The fan base is a wholly different one than the one who existed under Branfoot but if you don't think the fan base have been understanding then you weren't around during that time.

TBF I don't think he'd get as much leeway with fans as we have given him. We've been a very understanding fan base overall considering the performances and the results over the last couple of years.
