Mason

[baggieal]

Let’s try to remain positive and trust that Mason will have recognised the deficiencies in his starting line up. He’s no fool, but needs to have the courage to make his own mind up. Leicester is now a key game and specifically an opportunity for him to react with his starting line up/formation.
There is a limit to how long the - early days reasoning - with be accepted and a repeat of the same pedestrian performance will rightly turn the crowd.

I agree Prando but many at Middlesborough were frustrated with that starting line up, The majority can see Campbell and Styles are not full backs and playing Mowatt and Molumby does not work. That Collyer lad needs to start because he wants to move the ball forward and has quick feet. Starting Wallace was like an April Fools joke - have we really gone backwards as the guy has not played for a year and sadly has no pace.

In life the majority are hardly wrong and the above was echoed by many at the match. The Leicester game is a must win. Don?t get me wrong as my expectation is mid table but that starting line up? I would rather lose playing Bostock who is the future rather than a 25K plus player whose legs have gone!

I would say he is closing on honeymoon over time. Six games in already and soon be Christmas. You can hear the groans already. Still some tinkering to be done to get best starting eleven. Hegebo could be the spark if he can impose himself more in games. With another international break coming up, he's going to have to learn quickly.

Totally agree LB. I bet another poster in the name of Boingy thinks the starting line up should not have been changed since the magnificent performance against Derby. I bet the view from him last night was we played like Barcelona too!

Those at the match like myself who thought the starting line up was a car crash and we offered nothing up front until the suns came on - were on the hard stuff 😭😭🤣

Mason got it wrong last night and whilst it?s too early to judge - his lack of experience is worrying!

Boingy appears to have a positive personality. He see?s things in a positive way and is a fan that looks for the positives rather than the negatives.

I think he now posts on the other forum rather than on here. To ridicule him in his absence is uncalled for.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, however in defence of AL, Boingy?s ?rose coloured glasses? opinions classed several times with various posters on here, sometimes with comments that should have been retracted ( see a previous thread) he has already made comments on the new site in poor taste about this site and two of its posters, uncalled for, it won?t be long before he falls out with someone on the new site, to call AL out is really not what is required

I was at the match on Friday night and the comments communicated were consistent in that the team selection was wrong and certain players are too slow. If the odd person sees something differently that?s fine as long as drugs are not mentioned as it was! 68 goes to almost every single match and even and he?s mentioned that a certain poster needs to take off their rose tinted specs. I don?t agree with everything from 123 or Matt but completely respect their views as it?s clear they know their football.

Anyway not getting into an argument as apart from one incident on this board by Blood who apologised less toxic comments have been said here than over there! That?s probably why lots of old posters have started to post again.

You enjoying the sunshine today OB? My winter garden plants are doing well 😂.

Hi Bomber,

I have looked at the other site and am unable to find the post you refer too. Did he actually call out poster on here by name. I can see he made reference to a couple of posters he?d prefer to remain on this site without actually naming them. It would be helpful if you point me in the right direction, re which thread Boingy wrote and you refer too.

My initial point was talking about people who are not here to defend themselves and I am fully aware of the post with the “drug remark” you refer too. However, I think it was taken more out of context rather than it being offensive. I considered that Boingy meant that someone must have been on LSD or another hallucinogenic drug, rather than having to take medication for an illness.

I find it difficult to understand why someone with an upbeat look at life, one who finds positives where the majority find negatives, can be put down for their views.

As you pointed out in your first sentence, “everyone is entitled to their own opinion,” unfortunately that has not been the case historically on this site, there is no denying that.

Actually I have a positive outlook on life as do many others on here, the post you are referring to was the one where the poster didn?t have the courage to name names but we all know who he meant, the post was uncalled for and unnecessary, just move on to the new site and be happy
A lot of posters on here spend an absolute fortune following the Baggies home and away and see first hand the problems and have a right to express their views without being lambasted, the Bournemouth game last season was a prime example, the comments made by Boingy just because he didn?t agree with other posters comments was vile, if you take the time to go back there have been other examples, nobody on this site is perfect, but everyone is entitled to their opinions whether people agree or not, that?s what this board is all about, opinions, if people strongly disagree and can?t reply without lambasting others then they should either ignore the posts or venture onto another site, I have nothing personal against anyone on this forum I enjoy the differences of opinion, however if I am called out then I?ll defend myself, why you have got personally involved in this I don?t know as far as I?m concerned the matter was closed, Boingy is now on another forum and I hope he enjoys it,
End of conversation on this

Thanks Bomber, your response though is quite humerus.

1) Line 2 - you say ?He did not have the courage to name names.? So an assumption was made. I have had discussions with Boingy, one where he called me out over a footballer who had taken a case out against a club for unfair dismissal. I won?t name the poster who he supported bit they were so sure of the facts they were most offensive towards me. I let them dig a hole for themselves and then hit them with the proof. (Incidentally that?s part of my working strategy, whereby, I need to prove what I say is in fact, fact.

2) Line 4 - I spend a small fortune on four season tickets for me and my family and we do attend some away games also. We pay extra to attend hospitality as we enjoy the pre match experience at the Hawthorns. Many away games are too far to travel to as we reside in an area close to the south coast but we do make the effort if time allows.

3) Line 11 - you say ?why you have got personally involved in this I don?t know.? That made me chuckle as I could put that question to you, as initially my post was aimed at Al.

I simply do not like stabbing people in the back when they are not in a position to defend themselves.

The thing is with you OB and there?s been no trouble on this board apart from an awful comment from Blood who apologised but it?s you who wants to engage in trouble. I didn?t rise to it yesterday. Everyone loved Mick ( I am in touch daily ) but it was your disgusting and personal comments on the Huw Edwards thread which he deleted being the MOD and left.

Danny is a fab guy and goes to every match but hey perhaps you missed his comments strategically! Look up the thread late last week but here?s a transcript.

That wasn't sarcasm, it was humour. Boingy has clearly nicked your login details. In which case he can fk off too 😎.

You could do the decent thing now and go across to the other board so Bomber returns who does a lot of work on match predictions.

Sad really after this board has been really good as confirmed by Omeg you have to try and poke to cause trouble yet again!

I'm a little flummoxed by posters feeling the need to defend themselves when to the best of my knowledge they haven't come under attack. Well not physically at least but I suppose there's always time 😊 .

At worst it can get a bit verbal but personally speaking I've never felt particularly threatened by words on a screen. Disagreements centre on posters having a different opinion or point of view garnered from what they've read and interpreted.

For me the term self defense relates to something entirely different to what is generally found on a football forum which is more generally associated with middle age/older adults of a fashion. Maybe posters feeling a need to defend themselves is a little out of context 😃?

Sometimes people just don't handle the fact others don't always agree with them all the time very well. For instance. I often found myself in agreement with a certain poster currently over the garden fence.

I didn't agree with everything though and would offer my own interpretation of events and statistical analysis. It did not matter one iota how respectful I was though as it was deemed as me having a go.

Also I think it’s fair to say it is a little awkward to play nicely or otherwise with other older adults of a fashion when they've decided to play in a nice shiny new playground. It's not like said poster(s) were chased away by big bad Internet bullies.

They've chosen to play elsewhere having taken their collective ball with them. And that's fine. I wish them and the new playground all of the very best and as far as I'm concerned they're more than welcome to play on the rusty slow moving swings and roundabouts in the old one whenever they want 😎.
