Title: How long do we give Suggs
Post by: Flashheart on Saturday, October 20, 2012, 16:12:04
Today's match day thread shenanigans clearly suggest that the youngster is out of his depth and could be struggling to adapt to League 1. With only Suggs to blame for Flint's red card and Rooney's miss, it is concerning that the club are throwing away points that could prove to be vital at the end of the season.

Perhaps we should install a new match day thread starter now? Or should we give him the chance to turn it around considering last season's success?

Well, we'd like to bring a thread starter in on loan but the moderators seem to be showing a lack of ambition and infighting. I'm worried that News Rhino may be removed as a moderator this week, and that the Monkey could follow him.

What about the Walrus?

Something to do with manatees might buy you some time.

I think after last seasons success he deserves until January, but I said the same about Wilson.

Suggs has more important things to be doing,like getting balls deep and drinking. Give the lad a break and this fucking stupidity can end  :crash:

Well, the dreaded vote of confidence.

I've been a fan of his from the start and feel he should be given longer. I do think that the pressure from the board has perhaps not helped and I think they should look at themselves as by putting so much pressure on one so young can only have dire consequences.

But who do we replace him with? Herthab had a go earlier in the season and that was a wash out. There aren't that many of us who can be arsed to be up in the early hours, kebab and naive fresher in hand getting the thread going. Let's give him a vote of confidence but line up Reg as a replacement.

I vote for me to start the thread on Tuesday.  I'm sorry SSWS but I am sure you will understand!

This does it for me....had my doubts at the start of the season, but although he's not pulling up any trees, posting pictures of manatees, is like wheeling Fraser Digby out for a half-time entertainment.

They are that bad. Look at today's debacle from SWS. It's not a call I made lightly, but no-one else is putting their hand up. Let's get a bit of stability. Reg is our man.

I will put my hat in the ring until January as a caretaker until we can put a proper vote to the members for a permanent replacement. To make matters fair i will not put my hat in for the permanent  position ( unless if i am given the position & i remain in the 90% win ratio or other members think i am worthy ( not much chance of that though ) ).

I would happily take this role on, I feel the current matchday threader has been off the boil since The JPT final in March.

I think its only fair he is allowed to to concentrate on the commercial side of things, such as cider and Tesco Value Fish Fingers. I offer the following on the football side of things -

Consistency - I am always present at Midnight, my OCD rarely allows me to bed down before 12.47am, so a guaranteed thread, with predicted score, scorers and attendance will be in place within minutes of the match day beginning at midnight. This was a vital element of last years success.

Value For Money - I will not seek or accept a knighthood at any point and in the case of 3 straight defeats i would offer my resignation to the board of the TEF, and if deemed necessary, the cat o nine tails can be unleashed.

Background - Sometime back in the 80's my brother had a trial with Port Vale who were League 1/Division 3 at the time, i also started a matchday thread on Thisis back in the Andy King days  :-[ But we did win

Paul The Octopus? - Well, we have Sid The Stick Insect. I will write the names of Swindon Town and the opposition and see which team Sid wanders towards, this will make us a fortune on betting

Impartial Predicitions - I will always predict what i think the score will be, removing the STFc rose tinted specs, for example, I think we will beat Villa 6-1

If accepted for this prestigious position I will dump Lizzy Birdsworth and change the avatar to something more fitting of a person in such a prestigious position.

If Suggs MBE (Might Bollocks-up Everything) is to be replaced, personally I think it should be put to a vote as to the substitution...

Such kindness Flashheart.

I also forget to mention that i attended the 1999 Play Off Final between Man City and The Pikies at the old Wembley with my City supporting sister, City won and got promoted to the championship, this is an obvious sign of things to come.

After much deliberation, I've had to vote "End of season"
The boy Suggs as done good and still shows promise.
Reg? The oldest swinger in Town. It takes him all night to do what he did all night. No thankyou.
Rosso? Says all the right things but give him the position and he'll lose the common touch. He'll forget his roots and all the promises of Town 6 Villa 0 will be forgotten.
Stay with Suggs.

We need someone to bring the posters of this forum together, Big Nation, One Society, we are all in this together. Having had a secondary school education, 2 years as a student and several years living in slums on par with a turned over wheelie bin, I can vow that my touch will become even more common as I endeavour to bridge the gap between winning and losing. Put your faith in me Mr Crass and I won't let you down.

In addition to my claim for this honoured responsibility, I will begin each thread with a couple of jaw-dropping stats about the oppositions town/city, for example, The headquarters of Bargain Booze, the saviour to many, is based in Crewe.
