sycophants

[enigma]

Are all those who slavishly devote themselves to the cause of Ernest sycophants as well?

I think GIMPS would be more appropriate.

 

[Gerbil]

Didn't agree with the sacking of McGhee

Really

You should've said at the time

 

[Les Biehn]

That covers about everyone, doesn't it? No one on here can judge another's "means".

Errm.. You have, I've seen you plenty of times castigate people for not being at games when the chances are they couldn't afford to go.

Utter shit. What I've said quite a few times is that people's opinions of the tactical intricacies of games are generally limited in value if they haven't watched a game in question, which is common sense, but not that they are somehow bad fans if they haven't been.

I have the most balanced opinion on here, and I realise that BHAFC are super, lovely, and really nice. FACT

So you have never given anyone shit for not going to games. Ok, if you say so.

Right conclusion time based on postings and 6 pints of Guinness.

We have few if any real sycophants but we do have quite a few fans who are reluctant to criticise the club for fear of being labelled bad fans.
If you do find fault at times it does not make you a bad fan just as toeing the party line does not make you a good one.
Being a good fan is taking all the shit and still coming back for more.


Still dissapointed we have not outed them though.

Well, shame that you think loyalty is a dirty word and pakis is a nice one.

TLO, Lord B, Yorkie

But if they truly believe in what Dk and co are doing what is wrong with that?

Just because others don't agree with them doesn't make them wrong or sycophants just their opinion.

.....................................................


Maybe the ones who have got too close. The ones who agree even though they know a mistake has been made (maybe over ticketing allocation or something.)


Apart from Ian Hart. Which other ''faces'.' Are there any.

Don't drag me into this discussion on the basis that I'm one of those who agree with the Club "even though they know a mistake has been made (maybe over ticketing allocation or something)".

I quote from my last contribution to the ticketing debate ...

Originally posted by Lord Bracknell
[The system] was changed after the Spurs game. It's now being changed again after the West Ham game.

If it ends up looking like the disgraceful mess that was the proposal for selling tickets if there had been a replay, it'll need to be changed again.

If describing the Club's actions as "disgraceful" is sycophantic, my dictionary needs changing.

Count me in.

Nah you're almost foreign.

What a load of old tosh. I post what I feel and couldn't give a stuff about bad fan good fan rubbish.
If I think the club are doing the best they can under the circumstances then I will stand up for them. If I think they've got it wrong then I will say so.

I have certainly taken some shit (yes folks, you've now seen Yorkie swear) on here and come back for more.

 

[Brovion]

Perhaps the names you mention and a few others on here have been around long enough to understand some of the realities we face, not just in the football club but in life as well.

I don't like some of the things that are happening to the Albion but I do feel that at the present time the Directors of the club are doing the very best they can in very difficult circumstances. Things will obviously get better when we eventually get Falmer but even then we need to be realistic about what the club is likely to achieve. We are not and never have been a big club, we have spent the majority of our existance in the division we are currently playing and are unlikely to have Premier League, European Football and an overflowing trophy room, even with Falmer. Ambition is fine but expectations of success need to be realistic.

Absolutely spot on. Forget all this talk of sycophancy and 'superfans', Brighton fans actually split into two camps: Realists and Fanatasists. The 'usual suspects' named in this thread (Lord, B, TLO, Yorkie, L.I.) I would firmly put in the 'Realist' camp. And no I don't always agree with them.

PS - If you disagree with this then you're obviously a Fantasist.

If you are calling Ian a sychophant, you are way off the mark mate

Has this ever happened? I certainly cant remember anything club negative from you ever, but thats youre perogative.

I think there are those happy clappy club types that accept any old crap that comes out of the clubs PR channels, and refuse to question the current board on any level, and those that can see some of the howling cock ups that have been made and dare to query it on these pages.

I think if everyone fitted into the former description it woyuld be a very dangerous scenario.

You haven't looked hard enough then but why should you? It's fine to criticise me for something that I'm not isn't it?

sycophant \SIK-uh-fuhnt\, noun:
A person who seeks favor by flattering people of wealth or influence; a parasite; a toady.

What I want to know is, what favour am I suppose to get?
Cheaper tickets? Access to the board?
