God good you two are like a moaning couple of girls... What is wrong with everyone? Why's everyone so uptight and looking for attention all the time?

Lets leave this silly crap alone and get on with sharing each others views. If someone doesnt reply, its their lose. If someone shoots you down for your opinion ignore them as they'll end up looking silly.

I really do question Ipswich fans, everyone only seems midly happy when their moaning!!!! Arrghhh!!!!

I think I'm moaning about people moaning...

Those of you who actually know me or tractor boys.com will know
where I am coming from..

This thread is amazing.. Look at how many replies it has got
then look at how many replies are on the majority of topics over the past
couple of weeks.

I rest my case

Whether your with me or not rest assured I will out bet any of you
that this site will continue to be as it has always been about ITFC and its
fans. Its is NOT a site for all fans of all clubs, dont think it really has
ever been and I dont want it to be. Those sites that wish to welcome fans from all over the divisions are more than welcome to.

The Majority of the TB.com members and yes there are a fair few, and if you care to study who comes on line, albeit not every 5 minutes because they have other lives to live, but its real enough, and they will voice their opinions as and when they want to and they are most welcome..

But alas like tractor boys.com, there will be the trend that goes
from hi to low as does football on occassions. We are a lot older and a lot
wiser.

I'm relatively new to this board, I signed up a while ago but got a blasting rant from someone who shared a different point of view (which I believe is a complaint being bantered about here) so I thought "stuff you" and gave up posting here and returned to the official board. Dazza's ceaseless advertising campaign

on the official board swayed me back (now I split my time between the two) I may not have seen this site in its "prime" so can't comment on any decline - what I can say is that there were a lot more Norwich fans on their official board (than any Town board) when they were in the Premiership, and still are now....I think our lack of success is hurting fans enjoyment and interest (stating the obvious) but the confusion over club affairs selection etc has left a bitter pill which is leading to some spiteful and immature arguments.

The ownership of the board changes, and thats something else to moan about. I've not noticed a massive perceptable change...we're not being censored...people aren't being banned left right and center...if this board is going downhill its because people can't be bothered posting, theres a lot of resentment at Town's form, and the atmosphere on here has changed as a result - when the club picks up so will the posting on here.

One thing you might consider Earl is posting on 606 or the new equivalent - stating the number of members on here etc to try and spread the word...there seems to be too many boards for too few disgruntled fans - but the official board suffers equally, so as much as this board is apparently suffering its still better than the "main" one.

Rant over

A little attention would be nice though

Many thanks for the comments Vaalae, indeed I agree with what you are saying and will be looking at ways of improving this site as time permits, as will our admin team. I think most of our members out their realise that
I am as good as my word and albeit I am currently on a World tour
I still make a daily constructive contribution as do some others..

I am and will allways be happy to welcome members as and when they have time.

munty.....do you know mate, your spot on.

i'll hold my hands up and say that i was one of them who have defended royle and this season, blaming it on injuries and bad luck, which has played it's part, however looking back on the season now, having time to reflect on it, these excuses are weak.

fact is this has been a crap season, mainly due to the fact that mr sheepshanks has well and truly screwed this club up, made worse by holding onto a manager that's setting the club back further......it's now clear to me that joe royle hasn't got what it takes to turn this mess around, we need a "tracksuit" manager, someone to get the players motivated.........most of our team are young and need a boss who can motivate them and push them in the right direction and in my opinion the only direction they are going is out the door for as little as possible.

POST OF THE FOOKIN YEAR!!!

Sheepshanks has raped this club totally in recent years - yet everyone supports him saying there is no-one better etc etc - claiming he is doing his best to sort the mess out!!

Well the mess isn't sorted and quite simply won't be sorted until another 20 years - when our mortgage is paid off. He put his own glory trail before the good of the club. He has single handedly killed the potential and glory this club could have had only a few years ago.

He brought JR into the club to get us promoted - yet this has not happened, JR has shown no faith in the youth and has offloaded some of the most talented youngsters this club has seen in a long time.

The dean mcdonald situation just proves how stupid the board and management of the club are.

No-one can doubt the bad luck we had with injuries this season, but the laclustre performances and lack of effort are all JR's fault. We don't have a system to play to and we are incapable of plan B.
