The difference would be that we're not welcoming them into our home while they're doing it. I'm not sure what the match reports are like. The opinion columns will probably end up worse. Your last point suggests that it is merely for our own satisfaction rather than to achieve any particular end. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't be writing Morelos' name in lights here, we need to quietly remind people of the facts. I really dislike the passive aggressive statements that (I assume) Traynor writes. The timing is poor for me, especially with the kid being charged with racism. We shouldn't forget it's an impressionable 12 year old that's charged, not an adult. This whole case needs some care and sensitivity from everyone. Now I am persuaded that this was in fact the best statement ever made by a football club. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoodyBlue1872 62 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 A great statement from the club. I loved how they brought up the many media outlets people etc. and quoted that prick Provan. Sadly none of these people will take the blindest bit of notice or come forward with any apologies! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's for punishment and prevention in the future. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill 13,717 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 When I see a stream of posts commending a club statement, it's often a good indicator that the statement was in fact written for supporter consumption as opposed to influencing those to whom it appears to be directed. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoohBear 1,074 Posted February 11, 2020 Share Posted February 11, 2020 (edited) To be honest it's the last paragraph that I think isn't great. And the stuff telling people to take a look at themselves or to apologise. It just seems needlessly aggressive and smug. The rest is fine, but seriously we need to be controlling the vitriol.

It's the difference between having a journalist and a PR professional in charge. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

However we're left with the options of doing nothing and allowing the attacks to continue unabated or doing something to show that there are consequences to their actions. The latter may be just an inconvenience to them, but at least it's something, and it may have an impact on their circulation numbers. I'd prefer us to be at least trying to do something rather than not doing anything and giving them free reign. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
