For someone who is "out" of this site, you seem to be finding it hard to leave.
As for the "icon" crap, you know as well as I do that I didn't seek that title, and only play up to it when bantering with others. If you want to see an improvement in the quality of debate on here and make it more football-centric, then you could help matters along by setting an example - rather than posting about me. |
I'm "excited" about the team and the manager and the style of football we think he is going to play - anything has to be better than the negative stuff we have been subject to in the last 2 seasons.
Of course still big reservations about our preparedness, which has been pitiful, but then how many times have we seen a new brush come in and sweep clean in the middle of a season and take time for a new manager to bed in with his players.
At the end of the day, a "technician" like Riga should be able to tune any component of his side and have the football engine running as smoothly as possible as quickly as possible.
I can't wait for the season to start, because then ALL our questions will be answered fairly quickly and the endless speculation we are all guilty of can stop. And then we can all say "yah boo sucks, told you so" |  | | |

50's,
It's not about comparing them with anyone, but aside from robbie's perfect world, we can all admit that in the life of a supporter there are teams and players that you support more than others. And it doesn't need to be a successful team either, as I have very fond memories of Billy Ayre's battlers who twice avoided relegation back to the 4th. I couldn't say the same for the merry-go-round of strangers that Hendry and even Grayson used in achieving the same 'goal' over 10 years later. They really were just a bunch of players in tangerine. They got my support, but the didn't get my heart.... |
I know what you mean Straighters.
I think part of the problem is with the turnover of players also. We've had a revolving door policy for a couple of years now, and the loaning players doesn't help - there' here and they've gone again. It's hard to get an attachment to players when they're in and out of the door as often as they are at Pool TBH. [Post edited 6 Aug 2014 14:59]

As a fan surely no matter who wears the tangerine you should feel something? That's what a fan does. To many confuse feelings of supporting and the dross that is the oystons.
Reality check we stuck with them for another season so support the team and hound the oystons.
Or just moan moan moan, situation is a disgrace but at least we will start the season and as a final word all those placing bets on reaching the playoffs because we have some players you would be better spending it on lottery tickets. |  |

It's obvious that you you can't feel anything for a completely new bunch of players. Such is KOs policy. Belokon enabled us to develop continuity with better signings and longer contracts, we grew to love players, but we are now back to Oyston total control.
That said, I felt nothing for Appleton or Ince's teams, cos they felt nothing for them themselves. I am much more interested in what happens next, because Riga is a manager with a soul. And a vision of what football should look like. And he is signing players who reflect that vision. To the extent that KO is allowing. Hopefully a more meaningful season is in store, once the gel sets. |  |

Cubero excites me and I am keen to see what some of these others can do. For me it's all about Riga rather than the team. The manager fascinates me - his heir of being above the media, the fact he held out for a better deal with Oyston and the way he plays the game. I think he will make just as fascinating spectacle for fans as the players will. | |

I think what's missing is a rallying call from Riga on Friday night. He needs to get the fans stirred up and behind the players. Koko has subdued the mood for too long.
This is your time Jose. All hail the Riga Revolution.  |  |

The promotion team of 2010 evolved from the promotion team of 2007, we were with them all the way as they achieved great things.
Most clubs have teams that evolve, we are run differently, our team has been thrown together based primarily on cost.
It may or may not work but just as the players will have to bond and work on team spirit, concepts that i think Oyston would struggle to comprehend, the fans also need to develop some sort of feeling for the new players and management team. |  | | |

Interesting when you look at the side which started against QPR on the opening day of the 2009/10 season against QPR ..
01 Rachubka
03 Crainey
06 Evatt
15 Baptiste
24 Edwards
04 Southern
11 Vaughan (Clarke 73)
26 Adam
09 Burgess
12 Taylor-Fletcher (Ormerod 68)
18 Euell
Rachubka, Euell and Edwards and to some extent Burgess all dropped off but actually that effectively was the team that ended up winning us promotion to the Premier League, Will be interesting to see the starting line up on Saturday and see how it compares.
The other point is that we knew most of that side and so bought in to it - we hardly know any of these players and so maybe why we feel nothing? | |

SATW - totally agree with you about needing players to get in to the blood and for fans to feel a passion for. At the moment there are none but there again there weren't many last season either. Other than McMahon at Wigan I rarely saw any passion from our players but there again they were playing in a toxic and demoralising atmosphere. I hope that a new season with new players/manager will give us that opportunity. | |

Its impossible to truly feel the love for the team and the manager and the club when you know the evil that lurks within it, the manager has said nothing, and the team is a bunch of strangers.
If its a great atmosphere for the first home game, then I'll be absolutely amazed and I'll be paying full price to support them. |  |

We don't have to wait long to see how they compete. Roll on Blackburn. | | | |

Things seem to have stalled badly this week - from six definites at the start of the week to just three arriving so far, can't help but feel the side will be a bit rag bag on Saturday - I can't count beyond 13 players at the moment  | |

Wonder if the o/p feels differently after the Jose interview - certainly got me interested to see what they can do on Saturday and am looking forward to Blackburn. | |

Feeling something for a team is a two way thing and loyalty and decent length contracts plays a big part. Was I upset to see any of the squad of last season go? Nope. The reason is I never really knew who our team was - the Louis Almond incident being the one that sticks out. If we keep the same XI week in, week out that's when you start to feel something for the team (and them winning helps!). |  |

I just commented on this on another thread! I wouldn't know this group of players if they robbed my house. I know it takes time but I do feel very disconnected from it all. | |

BRR is right, it's about the club and the shirt.
After they came over and thanked the fans at Forrest I felt more for them as players too. |  |

The goalkeeper fills me with confidence, think the back four needs a bit more time to gel, when we've got work clearance and are injury free the midfield looks exciting - if anything it's up front where I'm not feeling it - we need a Billy Sharp type character. | | | |

This squad is far better than the shoite last term. Give them time to gel and we will be nowhere near the relegation battle. | | | |
