Perhaps the majority are right. Personally I don't think so but hey, perhaps they are. Have you considered that?

I don't agree with that at all Dave.
I think the majority of people on here are fans, fans that don't necessarily want to slag off their team, their manager, their club.
I put myself in that category. I might have my own thoughts about certain aspects of PAFC but I, and I suspect many others don't feel the need to bare their souls on this or any other site, and possibly they feel like me, when they read the same people going on and on about DA/JB/Reuben Reid/Kelvin Mellor/Cheap player/not signing Prem quality players etc etc it gets up their noses.
I'm not speaking on behalf of anyone else, it is just my opinion, but as I say I do suspect others feel the same.
I've met both Up The Line and Balham Green (as examples), UTL is a tidy lad who simply likes to emphasise the negative and BG is simply a miserable sod. :greensmile:
However, they and anyone else is welcome on this site with their opinions but what I do say is that they should expect to get hammered because of their apparent need to revel in bad news rather than good, it's not really the norm to do that when you're a fan. Some people argue it is, I really do believe the vast majority of fans believe it certainly isn't.
PASOTI is here for everyone, and as I say, all our welcome to their opinions. :thumbs:
Since that's aimed unnecessarily at me I'll respond!
Cant say I found you a bundle of laughs either! Apart from the recent comment that the pitch cost us promotion. Worrying thing is I think you believe it.
Point is do we want a site which is just a club mouth piece(we all know how well IJN is connected to the club) with happy clappers like pafc 1996 replicating the nonsense on the official site or do we want genuine debate? Its very sad that doubts or concerns raised appear to be seen as treachery which is absolute nonsense.
Oh dear, all I said was your were a miserable sod (with a smiley I would add :greensmile: ) and you were that day. I was laughing and joking with others as we won 2-0 but you weren't happy with that from memory, you said we had a bad 2nd half. :lol:
As for this site being a club mouth piece, we certainly don't no one does.
As it happens, I have fears about this season, too many changes for my liking, far too many BUT I don't go on and on and on about them like some of you do.
Don't you get it BG, it's not the fact that you guys are being accused of treachery, if we were all in a bar and we saw some miserable bugger saying 'We are crap' time and time again, people would stand up and say 'FFS, stop saying the same thing' or something similar.
I think that's all people are saying.
I'd also point out that guys like you and UTL seem to get pleasure out of misery, that's not normal is it?
I have to highlight a section IJN says because I think its important and is how I feel currently about Argyle's situation.
Its no doubt a number of us share concerns. I'm not convinced so many players can gel so quickly, even if they are mostly of a reasonable standard. It would still take time. So we share a little "realism" as you put it.
Yet like IJN says, its the way you go on and on and on with your negative clap trap repeating the same anti-Argyle crap. Its constant dribble. The worst thing is you don't even realise I think what your doing. If you do, it makes you even more weirder to embroil yourself in doing this week after week.

That's where you get it wrong. We are not saying we are crap all the time, certainly not me, just trying to give some perspective to what seems a large majority who have a blind optimism. The reality is hopefully in between. This squad doesn't look good enough to win promotion to me and there ARE too many changes, but I doubt we will struggle either! I don't have the blind faith many do in DA but I sure hope I'm wrong.
No doubt that will be construed as another piece of outrageous negativity.

You are talking nonsense mate as usual. Show me where this 'constant dribble' is. Nobody rambles on more than you saying the same thing over and over again in soliloquys even though you haven't been to the friendlies.

We have a new season coming up when we should be looking forward to playing against the likes of Sheffield United, Bolton, Charlton, Coventry etc. Instead, we will competing against the likes of Morecambe, Crawley, Barnet and Stevenage, again!
After 5 seasons in the basement League, we wontonly threw away what may well be the best chance we are likely to have of getting out of it. Adams did a great job to get us comfortably clear of 4th place going into the final third of the season, but he then presided over a disasterous capitulation which culminated in a massive anti-climax at Wembley when we were unable to muster a shot on goal in 90 minutes.
Yet to many, whilst he was the best thing since sliced bread for the first 30 games or so, the collapse was nothing to do with him and they came up with every excuse they could rather put any blame on him. When it really mattered at the 'business end' of the season, Adams was found wanting yet anyone who dares to say this or voice any criticism of him is immediately denounced.
Dave, here's the definition of the word 'fan'
An enthusiastic devotee (as of a sport or a performing art) usually as a spectator
http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fan
You see fans are meant to be enthusiastic. That's what the word means. Yet you seem to object to fans who are enthusiastic, frequently calling them 'Argyle fans' and 'happy clappers'.
Do you understand why people get frustrated by your posts? Why not accept that people are fans and allow enthusiasm?
Yes we should be in a higher division but we're not, and criticising other supporters isn't going to change that, is it?

Then how come BG, everyone tells you to stop being so negative about Argyle?
You go on about blind optimism but all you do is blind pessimism. You talk about perspective. I have yet to see you back most of your comments up with any actual facts.
Oh and its not blind faith. Its called patience and giving the guy support and backing. Its the thing you forgot about it seems when you became an Argyle fan.
