Quote trinfan71="trinfan71"[uThat is fair to say about JD, but unless I am missing the point.[/u People pay to go to matches to see two teams competing, not to watch one man with pride and passion carry 16 others in game against 17 other players.
Nobody as I can see has said that JD has not shown pride or effort. What people are saying is that they are not prepared to part with hard earned cash to watch that shower week in week out. Look at it how you want but that is not turning a blind eye it is living in the reality of the team haven't given the effort we should expect from Professional sportsmen. We have been a playing like a beaten side for months.
To put it in simple terms (as an example) if signed up to a dvd rental package and then after a few months the company sent you copies made from somebody with camcorder in a cinema instead, would you carry on paying for it? No you wouldn't, the same principle applies if people are not getting value for money from a team then people are unlikely to pay out for sentiment.
[uThe simple fact is that at the beginning of the season we were promised McDonalds and finished with a broken down burger van. [/u
Before anyone starts with nobody could have forseen what was going to happen (we started the season with two hookers and a third coming through from the Academy, that negates the need for Newton. It was said on this forum last winter that Brough was going to leave, couldn't we have cashed in then and found a replacement. As for Tronc the club went for a big name when we got rid of a more than capable player in Stosic) or Kear saved us speech (maybe if he had been captain of the Titanic maybe it wouldn't have sunk)'"
That depends how you see it, sunday was about JD and his last game at Wakey for me, you obviously see it differently.
Thats sadly very true.
