You are sounding more like Putin everyday, desperate, very desperate...... unfortunately (or fortunately) some of us have lived away from Nottingham on and off just like you, I lived just outside Keswick at one point and still had a season ticket over a number of years and travelled a very long way in a very long day for most home games (and some away), I also lived and worked in Frankfurt for a few years (again with a season ticket) and flew or drove back at least once a month to see a game, so although I appreciate the distance that your away there's quite a few who go beyond the call of duty and I think that it riles me when the distance excuse is rolled out.

I accept massively the economic / budget / health issues that people may have and that is a completely kettle of fish and I sympathise massively. This constant belittling of supporters like 'Durham' and talking in this code about 'your sources' is very condescending, and as I've said many times I won't comment on a performance if I wasn't there to see it with my own eyes, but that's my prerogative (rightly or wrongly but that's what I believe) all I ask is that you give posters like 'Durham' the respect they deserve and not judge people, there's been a lot of bad performances this season that have been masked by fortunate results, but unless you're there to see the good with the bad you won't know!

He doesn't belittle me Keldsyke, its just the malicious actions of a very sad, demented person who is jealous of others being able to do what he cannot do..

Tbh it's hard to take the post seriously when you start it with "You are sounding more like Putin everyday". I know it's very topical currently, but that's an embarrassing stretch to say the least.

If you don't like people being condescending then maybe don't type things like that#opengoal. And if you truly don't like like people belittling others and being condescending then call out everyone who does it on here#protip

Why should I or anyone give respect to a fan who almost exclusively posts negative and cynical comments about the club, rarely posts anything positive about the club they support, displays very little balance in his reporting of games and commonly disappears when their side win#specialfan.

I don't care if someone has only seen a handful of games or every single one this season it's laughable IMO and no respect should be given due to length of service etc. I clearly find it difficult not to mock and belittle
the posters that consist of the Mount Rushmore of NCM negativity of which you are certainly one#balancenotbias

Request denied.

I do, often but unsurprisingly you are the last one to realise or acknowledge.

Being called "very sad" by NCM's very own dementor is quite something.

Keep the amusement going what am I jealous of exactly? Your ability to write off a player before they complete a full 90 mins? Your skill of finding the negative in all things Notts? Yup not got those scout badges.

I’m gonna make my mind up at the end of the season on IB. In my mind I think it’s probably correct we have the 4 or 5th best budget in the league so below 5th will be an underachievement and vice versa over 4th overachieved, simple as that for me, playoffs a lottery.
I have seen a lot of pros under IB, I would say at home it’s been the best football on show for an extremely long time. I do believe he’s developing players also.
Cons, we need to adapt when away and I would say more due to pitches, IB was praying for rain at Bromley (didn’t happen) and lost and said Chesterfield was worse of the season, Rowe heavily complained about their pitch days before he was suspended so we had weeks of knowledge on this. So just play different, work the channels, pin them back, it’s not giving up on your principles it’s just sensible decision making based on the conditions.

You walk from Frankfurt then I'm assuming?

Edit: Bit of context - it's not a completely different kettle of fish at all is it? The further you live the more time (£) and travel costs you'll incur. It's one of the same.

I live just shy of 20 miles from the ground with almost non-existent public transport, CAM belt snapped on my car so it's either taxi to Bingham (£10x2), train return (£5-8) and ticket price (£20) then another tenner for some food and drink minimum. When I lived in Carlton I could've roly-polyed my way to Meadow Lane and walked back in less than 40 minutes.

I certainly will do, if only to make you more envious of what you are not able to do, like go to a watch Notts...How depressing it must be for you.

I clearly find it difficult not to mock and belittle.

That quote, albeit selective, hits the nail firmly on the head. For the overall good of the board, I suggest it's something you try and address.

When you stick to football and Notts you are perfectly capable of being a positive influence on NCM. When you indulge your weird obsession of continually mocking and belittling fellow fans you are the exact opposite. This thread suggests I'm not the only one who thinks that way.

durham, fwiw, always value your opinions on here.

So do I. Stalwarts like Duzza, should not only have our respect, but our thanks as well. Every lower league club could well do with a few more Duzza's putting their ''hard earned'' into their respective clubs.
