Walterbear 557 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Accusing folk of being boring and hardly worthy of your attention but doing it in such a long winded post doesn’t reflect clarity of purpose but it sure does show a fine sense of irony. We now are lead to believe he knew the petition was useless except to stimulate debate amongst fellow Bears. If you feck something up it’s usually better to hold your hands up, identify the error and either fix it or learn for next time rather than attack your target audience. Its a pity because a petition handled properly was a good idea. James Dornan is one of the last people who should be sitting on a panel of elected MSPs trying to eradicate sectarianism. Apart from anything else he’s thick and not competent to do the job, in fact I’d question his competence to do any serious job. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,494 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Can we stop making derogatory remarks to forum members. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaffer 1,665 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I hope Charles Kiniev stays on the forum. I think his motives were right, but just applied poorly. I've had a go at him, but on reflection I have to show some appreciation for someone who made an attempt to do something about Dornan, etc. Hang around Charles. Express your views. We all learn here on Gersnet and need all sorts of members, views, and opinions. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo79 13,546 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Good post, Gaffer. I agree with Charles' intention wholeheartedly but when he drew his arrow on Gersnet (nicking Scott7's analogy), he elbowed some fellow Bears, unnecessarily. We can surmount that though. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walterbear 557 Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 Good points raised there. Working together is vital given the unprecedented attacks on the club, fans and players. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What’s said is said. I won’t dwell on it. There’s far more important issues to be addressed. VB doing what VB are good at. A lack of respect for anyone who isn't fully on board with what they propose...... and they wonder why many misunderstand them !! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know anybody in the VB & im not a member of the VB The closest I’ve ever been to the VB is to follow their twitter page This is why I posted a reply to this thread m8 I didn’t really have any great desire to join this conversation beyond feeling that the VB seem to be getting a fair bit of bad press in this thread from some of your forum members re: the petition The VB will have RT’d the petition in twitter, like a load of other folk have done, where else it’s been posted, who knows bud, all I’m here to say is that it wasn’t the VB’s petition If you’ve any other issues with the VB, that’s between you & them, but you shouldn’t have any issues between them re: the petition, because it’s nothing to do with the VB, which is the reason why I’m still in your forum If you’ve got a problem with the petition, send me your problems & I’ll deal with them ? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
