I can sympathise with deerboy here- he's tried to explain things on other threads but his points seem to have been by and large ignored by some. I tend to find that the folk who are pretty negative are the ones who stiffle the debate more as they do seem to respond quite aggressively when others offer a different point of view or opinion - usually along the lines of this is a discussion board etc etc. We can say what we want. Exactly - and folk are simply offering a different point of view to you. It's quiet reasonable for folk to disagree with all the negativety surely? And most have done so explaining all the hard work that goes on behind the scenes. If more contributed their time I think they would be more sympathetic and understanding of all things going on at the club. And the thread with the Div 2 title - it was pretty insulting to many at the club I thought given everything that is going on on numerous fronts. - just my opinion. Why is it if someone has a different opinion from the majority then it is automatically seen as them being negative? Nobody questions what work people do to help the club, but, that doesn’t mean someone cant question what is currently going on. In my opinion there would be more people willing to help if our support wasn’t so cliquey and you werent made to feel like an outcast if you dont follow what you are told. Onto the Rovers support as a whole:I’ve said this several times before but there is a snobbery within large sections of the support. There are a lot of people in our support who look down on others mainly because I think too many are competing for the 'BEST ROVER' title and see anyone coming in with something new as a threat to their position (whatever that may be). Im know I am not the only one who feels/notices this. It baffles me as we are a small support and wont all agree on the same things but we should all be sticking together regardless of opinions.

Paulrovers im sure rovergrant can fight his on battles, my only gripe with the him and a few like him is the constant negativity. I followed a team for a long number of years who didnt give 2 bob for the fans. What i have found at the Rovers is the people behind the scences will sit down and talk to the fans, as week last week showed at the trust meeting.
Oh dear, is this a battle? Its football, you arent going to get everyone to agree on everything. Debates, difference of opinions are healthy. Whether you want to accept that or not is your issue. No one said it was a battle, I used an old saying to describe Grant being man enough to answer his own critics. Why you find it necessary to get involved in a discussion between Grant and myself god only knows.

Hmmm let me think...its an OPEN discussion on an OPEN forum that I had an opinion on. If you dont want anyone to make a comment on an OPEN discussion on an OPEN forum then take it to a private mail.

I think this `discussion` has run its course - let`s move on, accept variations on opinion even if you totally disagree with them, but respect the other persons right to hold them - and `voice` them via this medium.

About the Rovers I feel the same as Deerboy and that's optimistic but I agree 100% with paulrovers, this is an OPEN discussion for Rovers fans to air views openly.
The people like Deerboy are the lifeblood of our club keeping it running. And although you are not renumerated for what you do I do think it would be more professional if you accept diversity of opinion and criticism of the board on the chin like any larger club board has to do. Would you be able to take the hump if we had 10,000 fans?
Anyways. Best regards to all of you. Mon the Rovers!

Man this is the worst dust up I have seen on here since the broken romance of Speedybiker and Tee Kasule and that was about 10 years ago.
Listen guys this is a discussion board.If someone posts something you don't like you have the right to reply and tell said person you don't agree with their thoughts.
Leaving the discussion board is not an answer because people disagree all the time about everything in life not just football.
Jings I am used to people disagreeing with my posts over the years and to be honest I respect our differences.
I mean look at me and Prof.I respect his right to be an Airdrieonian.It's a free country...for now.
I think a lof of this stems from the post titled "Preparing for League 2" which I think was posted out of pure frustration.
Do I think the BOD want Rovers relegated ? No but I also don't think we have came out of the transfer window stronger either.Time will tell.
As rightly posted by several the real heroes of the Club are those who work tirelessy behind the scenes to keep the Club going but we can't applaud those who currently fulfill these rolls whist dimising thise who did them in the past like Grant.
Yours,
Tommy (The Real Rovers fan)

Very smart young man with your answer, I understand the term open probably better than you I would imagine. I had a private conversation with Grant on our difference of opinion and found Grant to be a very pleasant man, don't know why you had to get involved.

Macrover, if you spoke to me and Paul rovers, you would find us to be pleasant also.Just differing opinions that we all have.My title for the thread could in hindsight been more subtle - but reflected my feelings and viewpoint at the time
