bickster Posted August 21, 2018 Moderator Share Posted August 21, 2018 It's the daughters birthday this weekend and the missus just suggested we buy her a record player. I'm in favour of this I said we'd need to buy her some records too The missus just said "Can't she just have some of the ones you don't play any more" The missus now has a cob on with me 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can’t go in any thread without it being runied by some pointless anti-Bruce sentiment. Take, for example, the tactics thread. It’s a chance for people to discuss tactics, which you’d think would be an insightful, interesting thread full of critique and analysis, but nah - it’s just full of crap like...”Bruce dunt du tactix lol”. We get linked to a player and straight away you get snarky anti Bruce comments. It’s permeating every thread and it’s making that section of the message board unbareable. Please forgive me if I'm just adding to your frustration with VT posting this. I'll try and be concise. I think there are well-reasoned opinions for and against Bruce being manager. I tried to make (perhaps poorly) an attempt to identify tactics that would add to our game in two threads recently, the Bruce Thread and the Ratings and Reactions Thread. You responded to my post in the Bruce thread in defense of Bruce and undermining the content of my post with some sarcasm (which you are totally entitled to do). I stand by what I posted in both threads. But the reason for this post is merely to encourage you to post your own critique and analysis in support of Bruce. You made the point that we have a good team spirit and never die attitude because of two come from behind victories earlier, a good observation to base judgement on, and that you don't understand the sense of entitlement to attractive football that a lot are demanding, like its something that's always been associated with the club. I'd be interested for you to flesh out some of that and add some quality to the discussion that can turn to meaningless jibes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted August 22, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted August 22, 2018 I think 'tea round' protocol depends on (a) the number of people involved, and (b) the complexity of requirements. On my first day in one job, I offered to get drinks, and ended up with a crazy list involving tea, camomile tea, weak tea, strong tea, with milk, without milk, no sugar, one sugar, two sugars, three sugars, artificial sweeteners, black coffee, white coffee, decaf coffee, hot water... (ad nauseam). I never offered again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
