@Bondi - it’s sad, but I’ve been on these forums longer then most and I actually started on TBV, before we migrated to TC. I’m also pretty sure I was one of the very first to join theblueview. Scary!!!
I remember most changes, including the uproar between the owner of the TBV and the mods here. Some here know what I’m referring too. It makes me sad that quality posters over time have moved on but I don’t blame them. People won’t like this but the very reason I haven’t socially interacted with others from these forums, is that IMO, posters become close and posting follows that trend. One thing I have learnt over time, post your thoughts and let it be. Not worth going over and over the same, even though that is bloody hard to do but post what you truly believe, whether that is right or wrong, as long as it’s what you believe or is in fact what you know.
Sometimes I feel it’s time to walk away and do myself and family a favour, but I admit, the only reason I’m probably still posting, is that if I leave these forums, I want to go out with a CFC premiership. I think that might actually be the day that i will be able to close this chapter. I feel it needs closing in such a way, so I’m holding firm as much as I can. Hopefully that day will be sooner rather than later. Needs to be.
How’s that for a personal rant.
It feel like I've stalked you, when you remind me of your journey... TBV, Blue view, CSC...
Point is, we have created collectives to share our angst and desire for the next flag after being handed our first wooden spoon after 140 years. In short, it was an embarrassment, and we are still living the nightmare. Today, its the coaching nightmare, and we are all looking for light at the end of this tunnel, and it will happen.
Nothing sad about the size and quality of posts at TC, you just look at this thread and its littered with strong, well thought viewpoints.
One thing we must remember, TC is content, and therefore entertainment too. We are all going to spend time seeking entertainment and this forum does it for me as it does for many others: its relevant and actually sharp imo. That's the point I was making
This thread, our next coach, is brilliant, diverse and really smart posters for both sides. I admire the posters' passion and respect the time they put in to educate us with food for thought. There's also smart operators, orators, who keep the bastards honest in this joint. I have a lot of time for the posters at TC live or cyber.
The next coach....mmmm...well, the old one new one is gone, and that's a fact. It raises questions about the Board. Is it the old Board or is it a new one with a change of President and half the Board? Will they repeat the same old mistakes? What were those mistakes? Why make them?
With change comes hope... and the debate continues... but its the coach we need to make this list click is what we are essentially after. It wont be Daisy, so I can safely say he'll come.
Go Blues.
