Whatever happened to them?

Remember the fabled old PT that told us how the future was bright and that McNamara was definitely the right man for the job?

I note how some have slowly and subtlely changed their viewpoints recently. I wonder why?

I haven't changed my opinion, im looking forward to next season

They're all at The Galpharm or The Shay.

I'd regard myself as PT although I am not a fan of Macca as head coach.

I see lots of things to be concerned about at the moment but I also see lots of reasons to be positive about the future beyond the end of this season.

Among these are:
- a genuine pipeline in place for youth,
- a core of quality in our squad (irrespective of who is coaching them,)
- an apparent clearout starting of some (albeit not all) of the players that we've all been criticising for the last couple of seasons,
- the most promising looking Odsal project ever,
- with every day that passes we are one day closer to the end of Michael Platt's bizarre 3 year extension.

Yes, you can turn each of those round and sneer at them but I think that is basically the PT/NT divide isn't it?


I don't understand a) people who regard everything that the club say to be either inadequate or part of an arch and wicked conspiracy to pull the wool over fans' eyes, or b) people who start new threads with the sole purpose of taking personal satisfaction for saying 'I told you so' or else just cutting and pasting the same sarcstic / nihilistic comment that they made elsewhere.

Its threads like these that make me think that some members of the NT are really enjoying this season.

At least respond rationally to points raised rather than sneering at someone else.

Again.

What you mean, just like Adeybull did?

Despite the fact that he can fight his own battles, he got the reply he deserved.

At least be consistent or did you just ignore Adey's post?

Eddie, I just want to stress that I'm not looking for a battle, an argument or to wind anyone up - I really don't come on here for that, more for debate and gossip.

It's just that my point seems to be summed up by Adeybull apparently doing nothing more than agreeing with me and then you apparently mocking Adeybull for that.

I can't say that I feel hugely positive at the moment about my club and seeing the worst season since I was doing my GCSEs, but I do think that people are too quick to criticise, too quick to mock and too reluctant to look for the good in situations. Yes, I understand why and it is easy to get frustrated and angry, but I've tried to suggest some positives and I really don't think they're unreasonable. That was what you asked for in the thread wasn't it?
