John Dewhirst article in the T&A

Have you got a mirror?

 

Really? There were literally hundreds of threads and thousands and thousands of posts on the old C&B forum on the GR years and the aftermath. And add to that the T&A and you could write a book on peoples thoughts about the demise of the club.

 

To suggest that anybody with an opinion on the running of the club is racist is disgusting. Can't really understand you're reasoning or proof. Hope you're just playing devil's advocate. For your sake.

 

That was before my time.

But also, I can’t remember anything inside the stadium in the season after when we fell down the leagues, but we now have talks of banners and even a plane, for owners that have taken us from League One to League One.

 

So you're telliimg us that there are a small minority of City fans who may be racist? Facisinating stuff.

Either you love stating the obvious or you're not man enough to back up your original claims. Which one is it?

 

You do come out with some classic stuff @Just Looking, how long have you been supporting our club, were you around when Richmond took us through our first admin believe men both Geoffrey and Dr Rhodes got plenty of grief so much so I believe Dr Rhodes put his family home up as collateral against the clubs debt, and believe it or not but Gordon Gibb stills get crap from some on here for saving the club by buying the football stadium.
So unfortunately the owners nationality has nothing to do with flack you get from concerned fans when thing don't look to be going too well, so please drop your racism claims.

 

Banners and planes my arse. More chance of us getting automatic promotion.

 

Give it up as a bad job, that hole your digging just keeps getting bigger.

 

What’s wrong with stating the obvious?

 

Banners and planes cost money. We'd be better off pooling our brass and buying some new players.

 

So once again you are getting everyone to discuss non racism on these boards. Why don’t you deny my claim that you are part of Rahic media team?

 

***EDITED*** from league one play off finalists to league one relegation candidates the way were playing, take a bow Edin & Stefan, keep up the great work and we could finish up in the Conference League.

 

I think it's poster usernames he's after that shouldn't be too hard, you reply to them with your concerns about racist comment or what you deem as racist comments.

 

It's a waste of your time and everybody elses.

 

It's nothing to do with being foreign. It is the sudden implosion from being a side on the verge of the championship to one with no sense of togetherness and heading towards relegation candidates in the period of nine months.

 

If there were such posters id actually “report” them, rather than put anything on an open thread. So he may be waiting a while for names.

 

John has been involved in The City Gent since the 80's and I suggest you go read some of the back issues. The City Gent has been both supportive and critical of the incumbents of our club over those years. Irrespective of whoever has owned the club.

They want Bantam Progressivism that's one of the reasons they started...

You state you don't like playing the race card but everytime something comes up to criticise the owners you play it then say that it's only on twitter and facebook and not the forums...make your mind up!!

It is not racism just genuine concern for the fate of OUR club.

 

IDIOT. Off to watch france and netherlands. Hope France win if that's not racist towards the Dutch. Night all.

 

Yep, defo. I have subscribed to the CG as well, as it is good.

My issue isn’t with John at all, would have thought that’s been obvious. It’s more the general sentiment to which he talks about in his article about some supporters of the club, of which there are perhaps dubious reasons why they are disengaged with the club now.

 

So if there aren't such posters why are you quoting racist comments ?.
