Why I hope Rafa resigns soon

[Pacman]

On this topic he is though.

In your opinion.

On this topic he is though.

Hmmm ... Firstly he's kinda aggressive to the posters who have a different opinion than him.

Secondly, how can he say that there isn't any problem whatsoever ? Even a respectable media outlet such as the BBC has reported that Rafa is threading a fine line.

There must be some truth in that and he should let other people have the right to have their own opinion. He should stop wingeing and reading about these posts.

I think there is a minor problem but the press have bigged it up and if you read all the articles they are copying each other.
The BBC respectable, don't make me laugh they like to have their little agenda's and create news so people watch/read more.
I think people are allowed their own opinions but some people seem to love this situation as they go missing when nothing bad is in the news and big up bad news. We should sing Rafa's name at the ground and do as much as possible without insulting the yanks but not get wound up by all of this.

I've read many of Niall's post and I can fairly say that he's not the most sensible poster in here.

So what? And you/I/or anyone else is?!?!

As sonsofthedesert says, he is on this topic

I've known Niall (well his internet forum persona anyway) for a few years now and that's just his way. I know one thing for definite though and that is he's no fool.

Minor problem? Are you serious?

It's certainly not a minor issue mate. Watch Rafa's press conferences and you'll see why.

People loving this situation or not, they have the right to express themselves and it's out of order if they're insulted for doing so. People should grow up.

Seen no proof of anyhting other than Rafa having a bad temperd press confrence, one where he says the yanks don't understand and then a very calm and profesional one. The yanks have said we are concentrating on the games and nothing has changed. The rest has been paper speculation, yes I am worried but not worked up like some people, I will also be singing Rafa's name as loud as possible tonight.

That's your opinion mate, and I disagree.

Niall does like to put petrol on every fire he sees. He's like another Rashid, but a lesser known type.

He has told people to calm down, this is nothing compared to what was said to Red Chilli last night.

Do you read the press at all or do you blank them out altogether ?

In what way, he wants people to calm down.

I just can't see how you can think it's a minor problem.

On Monday (and don't ask me why) I e-mailed Tony Barrett of the Echo, I think I was so wound up about the situation and the fact you can't speak to anyone at the club to see what the **** is going on I thought he would be the next best thing. He replied and said that he is very worried and that he is praying they can sort this mess out. Now he probably speaks to people at the club (Parry,Rafa etc) everyday and if he is worried and praying then I'd say it's a little bit more than a minor issue.

I've seen what happened to Red Chilli and it's been out of order. I don't agree with him but I would never go to those lengths unless someone does the same to me.

I agree, Niall isn't someone who will insult people, but he does have an air of provocation about him, you won't deny me that.

I meant the americans and if you look back at my post I just edited it.

Haha, touche!!

It's a matter of opinions in the end. I don't agree with yours and vice versa. No need to ram it back.

It is only a matter of opinion mate, agreed

But obviously I was retorting to a response that I misunderstood, hence the ramming*








*Go on, one of you edit away

I read them very carefully, I have watched the online editions in the past couple of days create new stories after they see another papers story that copis the other article almost word for word. They are egging on the situation. With regards to the bbc, they have been proven to make stories up - the lead up to the iraq war they got into big trouble. Also the NR situation would not have been as bad if it hadn't been for the likes of the bbc making the situation worse and adding bits. One news program on the 1st day even said NR was about to collapse.
