The Official "F*ck this, I'm off" thread 09:20 - Sep 4 with 6407 views | acejack3065 | I've never posted on here as much as I would have liked to, mainly because I usually have sh*t to do but I'm fairly constantly reading the site and generally loitering in the peripheries. However I'm completely f*cking bored with the petty squabbling, the power politics and the general nobbery that makes up this board nowadays. Swansea city is currently in the best position in terms of on the field ability and off the field capability in it's entire history and yet some of our fans are completely incapable of supporting our manager and this dumbfounds me. Gary was asked to step in after what was truly a piss poor 9 months of football as we had been In steady decline after the cup win. Our performances were gutless, predictable and lacklustre, even in victory sometimes. Infighting was rife in the dressing room as player discipline went out the window, reaching levels not seen since the shameful Leon Knight and Andy Robinson bust up. The working relationship between Laudrup, his agent and the board had all but broken down. Something had to give and Laurdup was sacked. Gary kept us up during our first real survival scare, and we thumped Cardiff in the process. He did the job we asked of him, thus further cementing his status as club legend. I can understand that people were upset to see Laudrup go and were even more upset to see the board appoint a rookie manager with no experience. We can argue whether the decision was right or wrong and that's the point of a football forum but that discussion has stopped and we have descended into abuse and pointless squabbling. The anti monk side have lost the debate because he's got the job and he's doing well for now. Quit the sniping at every little detail and get back to supporting the Swans. There was a thread implying that we had a bad final transfer day. F*ck me sideways. The reaction after the Villarreal game was completely unwarranted also. We lost one friendly. Repeat that last sentence to yourself and consider whether monk deserved that complete Israeli style reaction when you think about what actually happened that day. I'm not surprised people are rubbing the victories in other peoples faces because after the Villarreal game you'd swear the sky was falling and it was Monks fault. I've never known there to be such unwarranted discourse amongst the fans, not when we gave Roberto the job, not when we gave Buck the job. I've grown weary of what this board has transformed into and I can't be the only one so until peace is declared I'm saying "f*ck this I'm off"

The Official on 16:06 - Sep 4 by ScoobyDoo | Happens on all boards especially ours, people have their own agendas and if someone disagrees all hell breaks loose (similar to that mega thread of Dazza's), no time for it myself, been called all sorts of things on here but a simple sarcastic comment back does the trick for me or one coming back to me for that matter, not worth getting worked up about.

Whilst I agree with the above I am afraid that not everyone acts in that way. The name calling can become personal and raise the level of abusive/personal comments to a point where there is an explosion. This is why i believe that stopping abusive comments at an early stage is the correct thing to do. | | | |

The Official "F*ck this, I'm off" thread on 13:12 - Sep 4 by acejack3065 | I posted it because I wanted to see if anyone else felt the same way to be honest. The language doesn't bother me either but the board seems to have gone from banter and debate to debate>factioning>insults and its been making it pretty hard to contribute to anything. God I miss old planet swans. |
I feel the same way | |

It is like trying to have a conversation with a room full of 6 or 7 year olds they just keeping making stupid comments the name calling did not bother me although I can understand why it would to some just a pain in the neck really. | | | |

The Official "F*ck this, I'm off" thread on 08:53 - Sep 5 with 1041 views | Hubert | Sadly, I believe the OP has expressed what a lot of people are feeling and thinking. What used to be a pleasure is now a chore, and wading through a thread to find something interesting amongst a tirade of petty squabbling, abuse and backbiting is quite tiresome. The mods have encouraged this to happen and must take the majority of the blame. It's a shame when we now have to revert to Twitter or even the Western Fail for a balanced article about our club. | | | |

Well one Mod encouraged it to happen... No, he was the main perpetrator and is still doing it now. See the Memories thread for more of this man's personal crusade to keep things nasty Go away Darran Prosser. | |

The Official "F*ck this, I'm off" thread on 22:10 - Sep 5 with 866 views | truckjack | It's soooo boring this childish shit constantly. I have to agree 100% with the OP. I, like the OP aren't on here often as I 'have a life/job/family' . Some of the banter is funny, but when almost every post degenerates into childish squabbles then what is the point. Some of you need to get real. | | | |
