Blimey, I didn't know that David Brent was a member of these boards...

He's not but I hear one poster on here is actually Ricky Gervais.

I was laughiing more at the irony of the TT quote. But I guess there are many interpretations of what actually constitutes humour.

If you like debate, then my advice is to stick to debate, and stop griping just because people disagree with the "Brent is a lubberly chappie" mantra.

Sir John Hawkins - people are going to have differing opinions on Brent, I get that. I have never made my feelings clear either way - despite what some people wish to 'make up'. I just believe there are always other factors at work as well.

Have a look at the section called "The Scandal So Far" to get an idea of why ATD is the way it is.
I started to, Frank. I'll let you know when I have another week free with nothing to do...how much stuff on that thread???

Have a look at the Trust section on here to see why so many ATD'ers are getting frustrated with the Trust. If our questions/criticisms are seen as too difficult are they labelled as "dissing" rather then supporting? You missed the part where I said that constructive critisism is good, then?

It's clear that I've not really come across the way I wanted to here, and I accept there will always be those here that clearly dislike the AFT even if it could gain Argyle three promotions so there's no point me trying to convince those people. I also accept there is banter on this site, and I was warned not to poke my head above the parapet...like a lamb to the slaughter I go...but I'm not getting back into old habits of a decade ago on that awful old official site forum. One reponse leads to another, leads to another and it gets nowhere and that site got really silly towards the end, and quite frankly I've got better things to do.

I'll still chip in with Argyle related stuff, but can I politely request that anything AFT related or questions goes onto that topic/thread? Bob sees things often on there and at least then we know where to look for anything. If something gets put up here it's likely to be missed. Not all of us have the time to trawl through all these threads!

Happy to keep the footie debate going, folks!

Can someone enlighten me, who is SteelConnon? is he on AFT board?

If so can he please explain what the trust is helping the club with, is it using the trust fun? if so, will the trust members be shown what is spend and where?

He is the AFT secretary.

It would appear that you are attempting to quote me and then reply to me on something that I didn't say..........perhaps you should do your posting before going on the ale instead of AFTer.

BAH! Totally apologise, Les Mis. I have not yet worked out how to respond directly to a comment so am putting in names. No idea why yours was in my head?!

I have corrected/edited my original post. Should have double-checked. My bad.

SteelCannon wrote:

Good grief, you really are a plodder if you think those words make anything better. Do you really think that any fan who has a differing opinion from you, DOESN'T take nuance and other factors into their consideration before arriving at a conclusion ? Even when you try to be half accommodating, your underlying bias just gives you away. Just give it a rest SC. Take a leaf out of Bob's book, and keep to the right side of the road.. You'll be happier and less fraught.

And yes, Les, he can't even remember who is saying what. I don't know how much more of this dullard stuff I can take ....... seriously. And if that sounds like an insult, it is. I've had enough of these people.

No problem, no need for the edit, chill, you're taking all this far too seriously

Perhaps they do take other things into account...but they don't say so. And if you think I have underlying bias...good grief...you've been on this forum a lot longer than I have, read through some of the other 'dullard' stuff.

Or maybe he's just got feck all done...

Err.. not just Argyle fans - PASOTI operates under an equal opportunity Banner (double-meaning intended). I'm not even thinking of myself and my red-and-white compadre Lord Tis as much the example of the Leyton Orient fan who, hilariously, was banned before he even managed to post anything!

We are all biased in one way or another.

Brent out.

Exactly.

Cheers for the patronising reply Steel Cannon.

I think we all understand now where you and Bob are coming from. You said you were "warned not to stick your head above the parapet", but you are too busy to read our side of the story.

Like I said, Cheers.

Im afraid it does frank.
Warned by who ????? Hhhhmmmmmm

Maybe he needs a history lesson.....deepthroat ? Close the trust forum.

'Let's just talk about the footie '.............

AFT joins PASOTI . The reluctant one loves a proper janner.

That old chestnut ..lets talk about the football ...while Rome burns!!! Jeez nothing like the blind leading the blind
BRENT OUT

Keep up Elias, he's far too 'busy' to read it.

I purposely never looked at ATD's website since Saturday's game as I was thinking there would be a lot of hysteria on here after that result and bugger I was right.

In regard to the Thread title, first half shit, second half a lot better but not good enough.


As for the rest of it, for instance over the season we've gone from Reid being a lazy bugger, to best striker in the league and now he's feigning injury.

Inevitably it's all Brent's fault because he's set the budget too low, well what is the budget so we can make an assessment

Brent's appointed Adams with an agreed budget (whatever that is)

Adams has brought in some quality players with I suspect (no evidence ) on decent salaries for L2, resulting smaller squad.

Injuries have without doubt affected us, are all these players feigning injury or was that leg brace Carey was wearing on Saturday imaginary ?

Another comment was the head of the tree sets the tone, well to some extent that is correct, however in my managerial experience I also place a great expectation on employees also being responsible and accountable for their actions.

Are the remaining players not trying ? I don't believe that to be true, there's a quality issue with the fit players and what appeared to me there's also a confidence issue.

Just to be clear I'm no Brent apologist nor for anybody else within our club, but if Adams is the manna from jock land we all seem to think he is then we'll see just how good our judgement is over the next few weeks.
