sycophants

[Les Biehn]

We just need Yorkie seconded now and she can apply for sycophant membership.

The point I was making was I don't particularly think she is a sycophant, just someone who deosn't want to see the worst in a club she loves. I do think there are others who are sycophants because they think arse licking the club makes them super fans.

Say for instance someone who has recently only started supporting the club in the last 5 years but constantly berates those who don't go to all the games in a desperate attempt to gloss over their newbie status. Fine if those not going are people who voice an opinion but chose not to go but out of order on those that simply can't afford it but want to discuss the Albion.

We need names .. not talk.

Come on ............. out them. You know who they are.

So we strike her off the sycophants and put her in with blindfolded gang. Ok.

Am going to the pub now.................. when I get back I expect to see names on here.
or there will be hell to pay.

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

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Didn't agree with the sacking of McGhee and thought the West Ham allocation was a minor error, but straining every sinew to become a 100% club sycophant again

Time taken from Thread Started to LI getting his retaliation in first = 21 minutes. Priceless.

And if you read my posts you will find criticisms of the club.
Not many, mind you, but they are there.

So if your opinion just happens to agree with the club's, that makes you a bad fan?

Yes, she did. She didn't agree with the appointment of Wilkins, and it's starting to look like she might be right.

No. we are all just fans.

 

[Yorkie]

There are no good or bad fans. That is just a put down on Nsc for somebody else's opinion.

 

[Goring Gull]

No. we are all just fans.

But are they REAL fans?

 

[Hiney]

But are they REAL fans?

Define 'REAL'

 

[dougdeep]

Define fan.

 

[Goring Gull]

Fans who support the club to the best of their means - be it season ticket holders, awayers only, but those who have one club and one club only that is BHA.

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.

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.

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

True i agree, and was not knocking them for that. But it seems there is some sort of witch hunt developing.
