I agree with so much of what has been said on this subject. When you look at other clubs this is not unique to us. The stick Leicester city are getting from their own fans is scary. In fact the bigger the club the more total idiots there are around to dish out stick when difficult moments arrive. Every single club has those moments. My point is we are growing, we are attracting new fans all the time. Our relative success is breeding some of this culture where people think they can say anything they want. Unless we want to shrink down again and become lower league strugglers again we will have to get used to this because it’s become part of football that some idiots feel they pay for their tickets and this entitles them to dish out bile towards everyone connected to the club. We have to embrace this. We have to see this as a sign that our club has grown and we are perhaps moving towards being one of those bigger clubs with some morons following us too. It’s never the majority but those types often make the most noise. I hope that Neil & Kevin can return to their roles once we have a new man. They will be integral as I believe they always have but they will be out of the firing line which will allow them to carry on with a little less pressure 🤞💚💚
I am so grateful for the pair of them and I believe we owe them a lot.
I like this post, even though it saddens me.
When I read things like …”I’m entitled to my opinion,” I know, on the whole, something unpleasant is often going to follow.
It’s a bit like hearing “I’m not a racist but…” before the speaker launches into a racist tirade.
There’s a thing called The Golden Rule. Essentially it underpins every faith & belief system in the world & goes something like… ‘Do unto others as you would like to be done to’
We will always have morons supporting football clubs, at Argyle, or Newcastle or Exeter; perhaps particularly Exeter. 😆
But that’s not the point.
It’s individual responsibility. If I know that what I’m going to say or write about someone is out of order & would cause me or those close to me, anger or upset if I wrote it to myself, then I try not to do it.
Think about it.
Be honest but don’t be an donut.
Argyle is a unique club.
I’ve lived in a number of places, including in Ireland for the last 25 years.
I’ve supported Argyle for 45 years. Like everyone on here & beyond, I love my club & get completely irrational about it at times.
Argyle’s unique for many reasons, but most of all for me, because it’s trying to do the right thing at so many levels.
And that includes KN & ND.
We don’t have to accept nastiness or the morons who spout it, let alone embrace it.
Argyle Abú & COYG!
