You've just summed up my thoughts exactly. It seems negativity/realism is just an excuse to be able to say I told you so.
It's so disappointing (and enraging!) to see people proud of being proven right when they spouted negative bile about a football club they supposedly want the best for. Pull the other one.
I know you're referencing me, but let's get one thing straight. I'm not saying 'I told you so' and I not proud to be proven right, all I said was I expected the Birchall transfer to not happen and that I was right. That's all I said, it's been taken completely out of context and made me look like an Adver poster when I'm not. I am negative, I admit that, but I'm not proud to be and I try not to be but when you support Swindon it's hard to say the least. |

I'm not. I was agreeing with Tails' great take on pessimists in general. You're not the first and you're not the worst. There's more than one negative poster here and referencing "realism" was a dig at anyone who calls themselves a realist (it's a pet hate of mine). |

Dutch Winger Etienne Esajas is the lastest trialist to join up with the town squad in Norcia. Esajas who had a stint at Sheffield Wednesday is looking to impress PDC.
2008/2009 season had the most goal assists despite missing a large portion of the season with injury
Had trials with Rangers & Charlton in 2009/10 but failed to impress

Why is it always the negative people who call themselves realists anyway? Since when did they have the monopoly on realism?
Fuck that.
We are going up as record breaking champions by Christmas, and I'm just being a realist.

Remember this bloke scoring a screamer in the Sheffield derby a couple of seasons ago, he was pretty quick i think. |

because this forum is about Swindon Town Football Club and if you hadnt noticed over the last fuck knows how many years we've gone through all sorts of shit little bit good but mostly bad. I've always called my realist and you lot have always called me a pessimist - when it comes to STFC the pessimistic view is usually the realistic view - history shows this. What fucks me off more - its been labelled a pessimist, grumpy or negative all the time. Hell, I even had Fred refer to me as one along side Reg in a thread earlier. Hell, I think we have a good team. I'm happy chuffed to fuck we've shipped out so much of last seasons deadwood, waste of space, bottling C.U.N.T.S. I've been really impressed with the work ethic Di Canio has bought into the club already and the man talks like a fucking genius compared to our previous managers. Sure, we need a couple of strikers - but that will come - apart from that I'm happy as fuck with every thing else (ok the new prices are shit to) Di Canio will have us the fittest team in the league, he'll have us the most disciplined and I think that will bring results. I think if the season started tomorrow we're a top 6 team in the woeful League Two. Couple of decent strikers and we're good enough to compete for top spot. ...but...im the pessmist, so fuck knows how over enjoyed the happy clappers are... |

Not only that but he ran the show that day. Only time I think I saw him play but he was awesome that day. Worth a punt... |

That's why I dislike the term so much. You call someone a pessimist and they say, "no, I'm a realist." It sounds smug and implies their thoughts are some how more real or valid than someone who is more positive and hopes for greater things. And DV, you have historically been The Realist, but to be fair, of late I've enjoyed your posts, they've been more balanced and often quite positive. I did see Fred bundling you up with a few others and chuckled to myself thinking it might be clever baiting.  |
