If You Cant Support Us When We Draw Or Lose Dont Support Us When We Win

Carlos, reading your original post, it’s clear that you’re less of a supporter and more of a zombie.

A true supporter wants what is best for the club. The very nature of the word “best” suggests a degree of comparison; i.e., if something is “best” then it is better than something else, which is better than something which is bad.

So if you are a supporter, who wants what is best for the club, then you would be an absolute fool to think that it’s impossible for “not good” things to happen to said club.

And we really don’t need to look too far to try to imagine what something “bad” could be. Only a few years ago we were nearly out of existence due to owners who had promised us the world. If you care about this club, you would never want that to happen again. And if you never want that to happen again then you don’t just blindly have faith in the next owners that they will be different. How ridiculous.

We all are hopeful that we’re going in the right direction, but some people have questions and doubts. And that’s sort of the entire point of a forum. To discuss things going on at the club. If everything were so black and white, then why would there even be a need for a forum? to just have a thread for, say, Rodgers, where everyone says one after another, “wow, great decision by Rodgers!”–“no, I think even more deeply that it was a great decision!”–“well out of all of you I think the most deeply that it was a great decision!”

That seems to be what you want. And you have the audacity to say that those who are not as blindly faithful as you are should be left out of the proverbial party if we start winning? how ridiculous!

You should be thanking the rest of us. Would you like to know why? because we are the true supporters, the ones who care for the club and realize that sometimes mistakes are made and need to be addressed.

You, on the other hand: you are the type of supporter who, even if you could somehow objectively know that our owners were intentionally, maliciously trying to lead us down the wrong path, you would still say “let’s support them!” Because to you it is more of a dick measuring contest to see who can “support” the most, without saying “gee, maybe this isn’t the right way to go about things.”

After H&G, no Liverpool supporter should ever have that kind of blind faith in anyone at the club ever again. We came to the brink because of that. We should support, give time and have patience, but sticking our head in the sand and pretending that those in charge will miraculously lead us to the promise land merely by virtue of being in their positions is absurd.

So we ask questions. Maybe they come to something. Maybe they come to nothing. But it’s part of being a supporter who cares, and maybe you should give that a little more thought before you arrogantly condescend people for not being as “supportive” as you (think) you are.
