Sorry Ian - Ollie Out

[Ginger Ninja]

How is that trolling?

I'm baffled.

Not trolling just appears a lot on this site because he is Ollies only supporter no matter what. Has to answer anyone who criticises St Ollie in any way.

Or he's counteracting the ridiculous Ollie Out stuff that happens the minute we go on a bad run...

Pinkie's definitely no troll IMO. He's just a very vociferous optimist who probably feels the need to behave that way due to being so outnumbered on here (especially on threads like this)!

Two very valid points, I`ll give you that

[Tarbie]

Known for only getting 2 good seasons out of sides. I'd take that right now.

Hollowhead can't get 2 good months out of a team.

Not a fan of either as a manager mate. But at least I like Ollie as a human being. Pardew is just a turd!

I can completely understand the frustration regarding results, even the most optimistic of us (Pinkie) will agree that at the end of the day the amount of points on the board are not enough. We all know Holloway makes some very strange team selections sometimes, but form and injuries do and should dictate selection ie dropping Washington. Tactics - we know he isn't the best tactician by a country mile. He does have his moments, but I don't think a high quality manager (even in this league) would touch us with a barge pole until the ship has been stabilised.

I would point out however that

1) Many first team players who would make a significant difference to performances are or were injured this season

2) The squad has improved exponentially. For instance, around this time last year we put a feeble attempt in v Newcastle and lost 6-0. This squad would not let that happen.

3) Some fantastic signings have been brought in on next to nothing, and I believe all of them have performed very well. Freeman, Scowen, Baptiste, Wheeler (too early to judge but early signs are promising), Smith (to some extent). Will admit Lua Lua was a strange and unsuccessful signing (again).

4) We have been very unlucky in quite a few of the games, and 99% of the games we haven't lost by an insurmountable goal difference.

5) I for one have not been more excited by QPR in a fair few years than I am now. Although I would like us not to be in these positions where we are chasing the game in the last 10mins it is bloody good entertainment value and I feel an atmosphere coming back to Loftus Road.

6) We aren't already relegated like some predicted and I think there's enough fight and talent in there to end up mid-table, which for this season I am happy with.


I do think there is a lot to be optimistic about when looking at things in context.

Whos trolling? and whats it goto do with you shania? are you admin! im not trolling but will give it a rest as the few are ramming there negativity everywhere

No, and I will never, ever be. And I hope you will come back tomorrow. If we haven`t changed manager, that is.

[Shania]

To be fair Shania, if Pinkie needs to take a break because he's positivity is trolling, then shouldn't the handful of posters who are constantly posting negative posts also be classed as trolls?
Personally I feel both sides are valid.

That is true, Fraggy.

Who was the other positive poster? TW? He's been away for as long as Pinkie's been here...

Coincidence. Very different kettle of fish. Different IP, sig, account profile, personality etc. We usually flag those things up pretty early.

[Bluehoop]

There's plenty of other positive posters around only we've got sick and tired of all the negativity that we just can't be bothered any more. No issue with differing views but just look at the history of the posts on page one of the board, it's become relentless. Yet the one person still trying to get the opposite view aired gets abused by some and even accused of being a troll.

Hear hear!

will give it a rest

ill take a break and try not to respond anymore

No need at all for you to be silenced Pinkie. Don't let them get to you mate, however much like an uphill task it seems. Voices like yours are what drives debate and keeps things lively and interesting. Last thing we want is for this place to become an echo chamber of doom and gloom. How dull would that be!

You don`t to have to support Ian Holloway, who we at the end of the really cherish, 1500 times a week. His tactics and team selection isn`t excatly faultlless. Just my opinion.

You don't have to "support"

Says it all really
