Accrington Web - View Single Post

Just clocked the comment a page back about Accyweb giving Coley stick. I see it on twitter every now and again.

It seems a bit weird to have a go at a forum in this way. A public forum is, by nature, an ever changing collection of views and people, each laying out their opinions and rationale. I'm not sure how you can actually dislike that. I suppose people might pick out the bits they dislike (eg, "I think coley blundered by picking Smithers-Jones at right back today") and assume everyone hates Coleman?

I feel the same way about "What's wrong with Accrington, why don't they support the club more?" How can you get angry at a community of 35,000 diverse people?

I know the demographic on twitter tends to be younger and more upbeat and it's bloody marvellous for it, but I don't see what the problem with a place where it's a bit more critical from time to time.

Interesting.
