I can live with that!

(F.C.) til I die!

I really dont think the people who run this club realise how much it means to so many people. We go to matches week in and week out and most of us can see what is bloody wrong.
I am sick to death of being taken for a mug. What is soul destroying is you can see the effort put in by most of the lads, but because the bloody club wont invest in top coaching staff and a good scrum half we are just treading water trying not to drown.
It's about time the damn idiots in charge of our club woke up and smelt the roses.
End of rant.

The thing is aslong as there is fans through the turnstyles and money in the tills for merchandise they won't give two hoots whether we win or lose. They'll sign a big name from Aus to keep tongues wagging, maybe sack a coach to give fans a little bit of renewed hope but then replace that coach with even worse.

I used to think I'd always go to FC matches but I can't support that, not at over £20 to watch the worst rugby I've ever seen from an FC side. Everything about matchday is now painful, theres no optimism amongst fans, the atmospheres are terrible and most weeks you ended up ranting the same old stuff.

Sure we don't have to follow FC, thats something the club should remember. About time they respected the fans, without us they is no club.

I agree, its about time the people who run this club realise that they have to invest in this club or the cash cow that is us the fans will dissapear. The only reason we've put up with this for so long is because we love the club. It's a shame a few of the 'powers that be' don't feel the same.

unfortunatly for all fc fans......rule and hetherington think this is a good move!!!!!!!! WHAT A BUNCH OF C**TS....

HOUSE!

As those of you on here who know me will vouch, I travel a hell of a long way week in week out to support my club.

Despite rants at the start of the season I have menaged somehow to see games on Fridays and I have been to away matches, all at considerable cost. My wife and kids have been on beans on toast at times this year so hat we had money for petrol and tickets. I have questioned this at times, my wife certainly has. But no I have dismissed it as I have the faith.

But having made the journey up yesterday morning, spent a plesant few hours watching a highly competative u21 match. ( I have another story from that game) I attended the KC with some, though not alot of enthusiasm. A poor Wire versus a average FC I thought. Well I wasn't wrong.

30 odd years I have watched FC. 30 odd years of success and failure in not so equal amounts. I never gave up hope though. May 82, 83, 91, August 05 showed that hope is always there.

Even through the bad times I always believed and was always as I recall entertained. Upset at times, called the odd player mainly stars who I felt were not performing but this is rare. Apart from Casey I never even shouted for a coach to be sacked. ( his rants after a expected defeat at Saints one year was awful so he had to go.)
But I sat in my £23 seat last night. I felt good when we went ahead and felt that Wire were there for a thrashing. Their pathetic following showed what their fans expected. Though I am sure they are saving for next weeks match.

We go in at half time ahead and seemingly comfortable. But I now have to ask WTF does the half time talk consist of. "Well done boys, you won that half lets test our defence in the next and see if we can hold on"

We defended reasonably well. At times I thought we held our line well. But christ when we get the ball. Instead of thinking great lets get ourselves away from here, we constantly play dumb predictable one out rugby with a pathetic kicking game.

We have no urgency, we have no desire and yes I am questioning the pride and passion of some out there. I am talking local lads as well as "out of towners".

Thorman was signed in a blaze of glory. His kicking game was what we needed. I never bought into this, but he was to play for my club so I was prepared to back him. NOT anymore. He would look poor in NL let alone in SL. He could not kick us out of a paper bag. His kicks to them were so accurate I would argue he is more accurate at that then passing to his own players. He is up there with the MPs of this country in terms of ripping off his employers.

As a result our attack when in the 73rd minute we got into their half was so flat and predictable. Their defensive line was flat knowing full well all they had to do was take their man. No one is running the angles. No one is running with enthusiasm. Kingy put in a great tackle on their 30m line and their player knocked on. Great we thought. We have the ball in good position. But could we capitalise. Could we F...

Enough is enough. Injuries ae now a poor excuse. We have had that for years now. You can hide behind that for so long but not anymore. Last yar we had the stat about our half backs only playing 20 mins together all season, if at all and that was the reason for defeats. This year its been almost all the matches, we are still poor. Excuses must stop and action needs taking.

Just over 10000 there. Looks a poor crowd, but on this performance whenever we play that will soon be a good crowd.
I am now another £80 out of pocket. The wife will be lucky to get toast this week. It will be me who is toasted for wasting more money and being a moody git for a week.

10997 is hardly "just over 10,000".

It was our lowest SL crowd since September 2006 though.

The turn out from Wire was awfull as well......pathetic really.
