Some Swindon Town football supporters must be some of the most self centred, limp wristed, stupid, judgemental pricks this side of the black stump...!!!

For example

Fitton selects 3 x non discript managers possibly the worst that this club has seen since the 1960's..
Under their leadership the football club has lost all its fighting spirit ...totally void of all guts especially in trying to stay in a poor division 3.

Wray picks a new manager that has obviously shown he is a winner as a player and is now wanting a future in management in English football.....

Now to my point after reading messages on this forum some supporters don't want to support the club because they don't like some of the past comments and actions of the new manager....get real. Football is a game for winners.

What some wankers we have supporting this football club.....We should be happy that the club has been able to attract this guy...

Roll on the new season....I bet it will be far better than last year.

Well done Wray...I hope your decision will help take this club forward.

 :) 
 
     

I agree. Most Swindon Town fans are fucking morons.

If the cap fits .....................

so just because you like the appointment those who don't are wankers?
yeah good one.
those who don't want him have given their reasons and they are valid enough, whether you agree with them or not.

the truth is that nobody knows if this is a good appointment or not.it's too early to tell.

Got to agree with you unfortunately. Some of the comments ive seen have been ridiculous like "i've been supporting town 35 years but because di canio is a fascist all that goes out the window and im not going to bother anymore!" Pathetic if you support a team even if hitler was manager you would still be there week in week out, Well i know i would.


Hitler too far? :hmmm:

Hitler is fine but Malpas tested our commitment, if we managed to get through his leadership we can get through anybodys leadership.

People have strong views about a multitude of different things and I'm not going to slag off those that can't align themselves to the new management as that is their choice.

If we had hired Rix I would have been in 2 minds about going to games!

I don't agree with their decision to withdraw their support, but I do respect it. All of the big mouths on here slagging people off for sticking to their principles aren't achieving anything bar making themselves look like wankers.

This :dito:

Completely agree Herta - whilst I disagree with those who have left, and I think the forum will be worse off for it, I can understand people have strong views...

This.

Yes people have disappeared and yes some don't agree, but show some class and respect what they have done, even if you don't agree. It comes across as smug and childish to be able to gloat and put people down in this way, especially as they're not here to defend themselves. It's behaviour like this that I hoped was beneath us.

Nothing wrong with standing by your principles and stopping going to games if you feel strongly about something.

It's the dramatic "I'm resigning from the internet" attention seeking that I think everyone finds so pathetic. I find it hilarious  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I find you tedious

The original poster is a precise example as to why they've quit the forum

Forza Harwell.

Sadly Mate I have to agree with you.......

Spot on. Sums it up for me.

some people place their moral beliefs higher than their support for stfc. i think that is honourable.

I agree completely.

Calling other people's morals into question is not a low that I ever thought the TEF would stoop too.

yeah but why resign from the internet? this site is nothing to do with STFC

Totally correct.

says he with a STFC badge in his avatar

Makes me wish I had some morals!

Charlotte.....that is such a very bad thing to say on here!

:)

It's admirable to boycott the club if you feel that passionately. There are some people on here who are enjoying this because it's winding others up. That's not cool.

I am anti-fascist but I'm not overly concerned with his political idealogly because....

1. I have known many people whose political views I have disagreed with if every day life, some family/some friends. At no point have I ever believed that they are a risk to society or my reputation because of their opinions :)

2. I believe that Di Canio won't flaunt his political views on the basis that he has never done this in England (high profile anyway).

3. Appointing Di Canio doesn't make the club or the fans fascist sympathisers.

Ultimately, I am a Swindon Town fan. I have supported Swindon Town through bigger problem figures than this.

you've got a cartoon cat in your avatar? whats your point?

This site doesn't represent STFC does it. How is stopping logging in to this site in any way a show of protest against something Swindon Town Football Club have done?

It's attention seeking nothing more  :doh:

I've been grossly misinformed.

:D

JFW, the gift that keeps on giving.

I certainly think this is a case of putting the football first and is a statement of intent from the board that we will have a 100% will to win next season.

Our supporters were limp wristed last season and it hurt.

If we need someone like Di Canio to get us going then so be it.

I think the Town End is a great place to get it off your chest...wow that has certainly been the case with Di Canio. One of the many reasons I support Swindon is they have over the years being prepared to try something a bit different, with that you get success and failure. Whoever had been chosen would have upset some fans..I am not particularly happy about the new manager BUT I want my team to play football that entertains me with more wins than losses...

Ever one has there views and there no better place than on here to express them...if some want to go elsewhere then that`s up to them and not for the rest of  us to judge their decision to do so, surely...!!

Once we hear Di Canio plans the focus will go off his actual appointment and we can get excited about what`s to come. And if he fucks it up, we can moan like fuck and Wray will employ Trollope and that will piss another load of fans off. Or Di Canio does a Wise and we win the first 15 games and we forgive him for everything.

Football after all is only a matter of life and death...

Don't know if this has been posted elsewhere but here's an article from The Adver. It's actually quite well written:

http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/9040930.Controversial_Di_Canio_set_to_take_charge_at_Town/?ref=twt (http://www.swindonadvertiser.co.uk/news/9040930.Controversial_Di_Canio_set_to_take_charge_at_Town/?ref=twt)

He has a cartoon cat that was drawn by one of the people who have left - who was a friend. Yes, this is only an internet forum and there will always be the next keyboard warrior like yourself who likes to try to stir the pot a bit for a reaction, but don't be surprised if more than a few people just think you are a bit of a wanker.

No I'm limpwrist and so is my wife.

and you're not doing that at all are you...

i think leaving the forum was a bit ott and when the dust settles i'm sure a few of em will post again.
but this is a swindon supporters forum so it does have alot to do with the club as we discuss it daily.
maybe those leaving want a complete break form everything to do with the club?
i understand why and fair play to em.am i bothered?no, but i did like reading their posts and will do so again when they return.

why do you care so much? you've a handful of posts to your name.

No.  :cry:

Why do you care so much? I'm expressing an opinion like everyone else on an internet forum. What is the relevance of number of posts to you - You've got 10,000+ posts and still have nothing to say?

no need to be a twat now is there.
it's got nothing to do with the amount of posts anyone has made.but as you have a handful of posts and most are about people leaving the site.so i was asking a genuine question.as someone who hasn't been around long i wondered why you seem so opinionated about it.

Wiggler is, I'm sure, a reincarnation of someone. I'm not sure who, but am willing to bet it was someone who got banned for being a total arsehole.

why resort to insults?  :smugfu:

you're bringing up number of posts as some sort of barometer of having an opinion?
 
general rule of thumb anyone with 10,000+ posts on a website has nothing to say!

....or he's one of the member who have deleted themselves on a fishing trip.

I think most of us understand that this forum can be quite addictive and what not - but I've never understood deleting your account. If you want to leave, log out and dont come back - seems pretty simple to me but meh.

It's blatantly shady

 :nod:

what i think he was getting at is that, if you're not a reincarnation, you're fairly new so are unable to form an opinion of these posters other than them withdrawing support.

you've no idea what some of these people have done for the club or what lengths they have gone to to support the club over the years, believe me for them to take the stand they are is with very heavy hearts, you logging on and slating them for it is just not on i'm afraid.

 :sherlock:

must be a heartwrenching decision to not click on a website anymore I agree, how exactly is that taking a stand? and what is it taking a stand against?

Get a grip mate, turn your computer off and none of this exists!

them not following the club you moron, and i think it's you that needs to get a grip on this subject, you started it afterall...

i think you've been acting like a twat.i was not insulting you,it was an observation on your conduct.
i explained already i'm not using the number of posts to form an opinion.
because you haven't been around long i wondered why yours were so strong though.
please don't think i care about what your view is about the amount of posts i've made,or whether i have anything to say.
you keep responding so your reading them(even if you fail to read it properly)that'll do for me

Shady

can't be shady.he was nice to me

Quite obviously Shady due to the use of the   :smugfu:

Habits die hard and all that

Not been around lately - who has left ?

Danny Wilson

Michael Rose leaves the week that Paolo Di Canio arrives. It's clear now that it was in protest.

The IP address suggests it is the poster formerly known as The_Plagiarist - aka town end wig if anyone has a memory that far back - who was never banned as far as I know.

Judging by "tweets" I doubt Rose knows what the word "protest" means, or the word "clear" for that matter on the basis of his defending this season

ahh figures.i'm disapointed i tried to reason with him now

Has all the hallmarks of shady. Pissing folk off within 5 minutes, and as suggested by Fred the use of  :smugfu: seems familiar too. Scrawny twat, perhaps wanker would be a more fitting nick

Must have been a previous incarnation tho as reg date is
