Some of the answers have been too defensive. Too readily to see tough questions as attacks, rather than fans wanting transparency. Most would be behind them after saving the club, but they need to accept fans won’t like some aspects like FC100,000 and want to be reassured over things like a CCJ.

[Siderite]

They really aren’t happy that the FC100,000 gimmick got hindered.

Yep. It’s not our Torps. Our Torps is from London, not Kirkby.

On twitter, Becky of the Iron Hour is saying SST’s questions will be asked.

[Siderite]

It’s how the courts have always worked. Plead guilty and you will be found guilty. Don’t and there’s a chance you might be found not guilty. I happen to think Lucy’s sentence was too harsh, and Ricky should have been found guilty, but ideally there should be consistency between cases. The system has flaws, though, we haven’t found much better ways than jury verdicts, allowing people to plead guilty and differences in legal advice. As one pleaded guilty and one didn’t, it can cause a mismatch in outcome. They were both arrested and charged by the police, so there isn’t any two-tier there. The police or state have no influence over a jury decision and given your views on totalitarian states, I would be surprised if you thought the state having a greater say over court verdicts as a good thing.

[Siderite]

I don’t think either should have been calling for violence or death threats against anyone. Not even against people with dodgy views.

[Siderite]

[Siderite]

I don’t think so. It’s why I was being sarcastic, which I thought was quite obvious.

[Siderite]

I think I know what this is in reference to. Both were arrested by the police, but one pled guilty based on legal advice and the other didn’t and was tried by jury. If the one who pled guilty went by jury, they might too have been found not guilty, but their legal team advised against it. Maybe they shouldn’t have done.

[Siderite]

I am gutted that the club wouldn’t let me, an unknown, host a fans’ forum. I really expected they would want me to, with my lack of venue, equipment and recognisability.

[Siderite]

Fansy is providing the inverse of those who went into hyperbolic criticism. It is just one game, he did make errors, but that is not unsurprising given his lack of experience. He wasn’t the disaster some forecasted though and let’s hope he continues not to be.

He made National League team of the week too.

Have you been sitting or standing near Gareth too much during match days?

[Siderite]

Roberts has self-confidence, but reading too much into it should be avoided. Butler may think he has leadership material and it might not be because Roberts needs to be placated.

Life is good where I am, mate. Hope you are well too. That is a cracking tune and they seemed good at Glastonbury this year. With no fighting among band members, which is always a plus for The BJM.

Here’s some more BoC:

To be fair, if it involved buying shares, it might create an issue as to who would they buy the shares from if some people on the board don’t want to be the one to sell them. More receptive board members may become more reluctant if they felt they would have to be a lesser partner to sell their shares in this.

What bothers me is that they were eager to listen to a poorly thought out, amateurish and unclear FC100,000 scheme, but seem to just give this short shrift and not communicate effectively.

[Siderite]

They were more than happy to accept the voices of random people from London to Athens to Harare when going through with the FC100,000 idiocy, but don’t want to deal with actual fans.

It was chicken wings, not pigs, that were flying with that Brian.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of the kit, but I didn’t get the outrage, but outrage is in vogue within society. Is it any worse than 2012-13 or 2021-22?

[Siderite]

I am not impressed by our goalkeeping situation, but I am less impressed by some eager to stick the boot in for any goal conceded. Many are berating Watson for the goal, with more sensible fans saying he wasn’t at fault. Criticism is fine, but it has to be warranted and constructive. Hysteria at any goal isn’t and makes it look like a witch hunt, even if such people say it’s not.

Not convinced. He wasn’t helped by being in a terrible team, but he was one of the poor elements of it. The fact that he has never been first choice since says it all, but he might have improved. It’s all we can hope for. I would have been happier with Slocombe.

The amount of time and primarily public money invested by the BBC in the promotion of a sub standard product is scandalous.

The level… well, these professional adult females have known to be beaten by U15 boys teams. The USA team, who I believe were ranked no1 in the world for a good while, get whipped by U15 boys teams.
I just can’t see the appeal myself.
Everyone to their own i guess?
Happy viewing.

No-one forces you to watch; yes the quality will be less, but so is a Scunny game compared to a Barcelona game. It’s not positive discrimination to show a Scunny game on, sky, it isn’t to show a major woman’s tournament. No-one is being affected by its airing in any way.

Campbell could have positioned himself better, but there were several unmarked players. Regardless of whether Campbell called for them, the defenders should have known to mark players. When there is a collective error, it’s unfair to single out one player for special criticism.

[Siderite]

Yeah, but we had a dip in form and Butler could never have thought of a solution to the poor form without reading those opinions on here.

The reactionary types aren’t all the younger generations. Some of those who have been ranting at games, at players, have been older.

Most ridiculous reaction on social media last night was the claim of cover up on SUFC X regarding Alfreton’s goal. Were Alfreton in on the conspiracy too?:

‘Trialist gets his second goal of pre season as he brings us level with a header from a left wing cross! YES!’

Someone should tell them not to put the Alfreton goal in the match highlights on youtube given they apparently want to cover it up.

[Siderite]

I have my deep concerns, but getting behind him is all we can do. After all, one know-it-all was saying anyone thinking last season could be a promotion were living in dreamland and look at how that turned out.
