DM – ‘goals and points don’t tell the full story? If you want a winning team they’re the most important elements of it. Never mind the moaning about ‘chopping and changing’, the ‘awful substitutions’, the ‘terrified of losing’ etc. etc. mentioned above. The stats and table don’t lie.’
Disagree with most of that.
‘What do you want, lose a thrilling match 3-4 each week and and flirt with relegation?’
What some supporters would prefer has been well rehearsed. But no, I don’t want that.
‘Everyone wants an entertaining side, but once again, this is NLN, and it’s often not pretty. Then again, football often isn’t. Maybe we get spoiled by the amount of elite footy on tv, especially the highlights which cut out the boring bits.’
You may get spoilt with it, I don’t. I watch the elite level, our level and right down to step 9, often, so I wouldn’t personally say I’m spoilt.
‘Sanfran is right about fickle, moaning supporters. But look, all fans suffer. It’s part of the game. And as in football, so in life. The religiously persuaded might think of it as a test of endurance, which He allows us to suffer as part of the trials of life, to humble us and make us more like Him. Those above, so quick to chuck in the towel, turn their backs and run, should pause a moment for reflection and have a quiet word with their spiritual guardians, not least themselves.’
If you want to bring religion on to it as well as Brexit, as you did the other day, that’s your call. Personally I think it’s a tight shoehorn.
