I hope you arse-travails have resolved
I eat one every breakfast, but it isn't sufficient.
Whilst not all doom and gloom posters are necessarily drunk I think of them as such. And any sensible person knows a drunk friend crying into their beer does not want sensible, objective arguments, they just want to wallow. All you can do is keep an eye on them and be there for them when they sober up.Is it me or has something changed on NSC in the last 6 months?. I’ve only been a member since 2022 but I can’t remember ever feeling for my own state of mind, I may need to step back from NSC because of so much negativity about the Club, especially our manager - I have generally found it quite overwhelmingly depressing at times - so much, I even tried starting a ‘positive things to say‘ thread but those plastering their ‘bored’, ‘RDZ out’ messages on other threads soon derailed my positive thread - it’s weird, it’s like even trying to defend the Club, the players, being realistic of who we are, celebrating any achievement, seems to attract a negative response at the moment- the derogatory ‘happy clapper’ epithet, or worse imo apparently being ‘anti-post-match rant’ and an RDZ ’worshipper’ - there seems no space to say ‘it’s crap but guys, it really isn’t!’. I have most of these ‘RDZ out’ threads on ignore now, but as I said the other day, it’s a bit like wackamole sometimes - as soon as you put one on ignore, another pops up
Has NSC been like this in the past when Brighton hit a long dip in performance? It does seem quite excessive to me for a forum that is specifically set up for fans that ‘support’ the Club. Is it all because people are feeling an anti-climax from last season or something more pervasive and long-lasting?
Perhaps my definition of ‘support’ is just different that’s all - maybe certain STHers feel paying hundreds of pounds a year is supporting the Club and entitles one to be as negative about the club as possible - or travelling a few hundred miles in a car (try 500 on public transport during overtime bans!) entitles one to a sense of moral outrage when players fcuk up on the pitch?
If that 's the case, you need a potassium supplement!
That wasn’t what I was referring to - of course every site has it’s share of personal insults/trolling/binfests - it was more a question of whether NSCers remember a time where there was this level of negativity/dissatisfaction being aired on NSC against the Club/Manager - or whether it was like this when we were on a string of losses/pissed off with Poyet etc in the CL - ie is this normal for fandom? Just asking out of interest as this is only my second season here.
Do you really think our wingers are not true supporters?
Not any more. I take potassium supplementsIf that 's the case, you need a potassium supplement!
I believe , as has been mentioned before, that there are a lot more users on here now who are used to the Amex and possibly only PL football and their expectations are much higher than those who went to the Goldstone, Priestfield and Withdean.Is it me or has something changed on NSC in the last 6 months?.

Two years older than myself and like you this endless moaning about RDZ
That’s a very helpful observation. I will continue to put all the RDZ whinging threads on ignore - I love our coach, he has ambition, passion and commitment and an amazing head for systemic football - he messes up, he is pretty awful in front of a camera much of the time and is probably a nightmare to work with (perfectionists usually are) but I truly believe we are privileged to have him.
Scottish Premiership or Rugby Premiership?
You do make, on average, the longest posts on NSC but I always read them because 1. they are usually interesting and informative and 2. you know to punctuate and spell. I'm sure their are some other's on hear who would of just bypast you're many long post's but not me.Um - I did have the self-depreciating grace to put a wink after my sentence(and was deliberately paraphrasing Harry anyway ) Anyone would think I was the only NSC poster that ever makes long posts or contributes towards long threads - it’s become a boring trope to hit me with hasn’t it - funny (maybe?) when one or two people do it but not 5 or 6 times a day - Someone made a dig on the number Of posts I’d made on the Israel thread - it was actually less than they’d made on the Ukraine thread which I thought a little ironic - the piss taking it needs to be used sparingly if at all because sometimes I simply don’t get it and sometimes it’s just a tool used to silence a pov that someone disagrees with
Shine on you crazy BarStud.
Indeed.
