If we'd taken the lead and held on, Meire and Sir Chris would have swung together on the crossbar, Powell could not have been sacked at that point (no doubt it would have followed shortly after if he continued to hold out on his new contract) with a Wembley semi-final to come ... <br /><br />For me fine margins underline how unlikely it is that we can succeed without a change of ownership. And neither 'side' can say it's been fun: we suffer our club's decline while being insulted by an absent owner, he doesn't seem to get anything out of it either. Better times will indeed come, just wish they'd hurry up.

Brings home to me the very fine line there is between success and failure. Tuesday night was pretty dire , but we hit the crossbar twice and the post, the players really did try and I don't believe deserved the chorus of boos - on another night if those chances had gone in it would have been a different experience.Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865967310344493124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476043688166279353.post-39698012756741478102017-02-23T20:05:42.306+00:002017-02-23T20:05:42.306+00:00Yes nothing personal we all love CAFC and I do enj...Yes nothing personal we all love CAFC and I do enjoy reading your blog - just trying to give a bit of balance !<br />Keep blogging and hoping for better times!Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06865967310344493124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476043688166279353.post-56777791589085697682017-02-23T19:54:18.815+00:002017-02-23T19:54:18.815+00:00Fair enough Jay.

Regularly insulting them doesn't help; and you'd hope that if he was looking at it as a bit of a mess he'd be at least inclined to talk to potential buyers and not bandy around daft numbers (if these reports are true).

How bloody dare you. How dare you try to make such a suggestion. I don't feel a need to defend my life-long record as a supporter. Enough to say that like many others I was a season ticket holder and will be one again as soon as they are gone, I badly miss going to watch the team that I love and that's not going to change, however long it takes.

Without wishing to put words into the mouths of regime supporters, I can only assume the attitude boils down to he rescued us (he didn't, he bought us - and overpaid), he pays the bills (which is true, although if the books balance with player sales in the third flight that argument could be eroded), and what comes next might be worse (which is always possible, however unlikely). There could be another strand, that we would all enjoy our matchday experience more if we all fell into line behind the great leader, but I'm inclined to dismiss that. <br /><br />Duchatelet says he cares about the community aspect of a football club. Perhaps he might then consider the impact on our community that his ownership of our club has had - and draw the inevitable conclusion.

Instead they turn the debate away from the future prospects of CAFC and take aim at those who want change. Why are they supportive of Roland Dutchatalet and Katrien Meire - please tell me? I really want to try and understand why you think they are doing a good job at The Valley? What evidence is there to support this? Please help me understand your pov.<br /><br />Football evokes emotions, high spritis and yes foul language. I have heard it at every single game and every ground I have ever witnessed a football match at. Sometimes it's the referee, sometimes the linesman, or perhaps the striker who just missed a chance, the oppostion fans maybe and sometimes the underachieving manager or board. If we started counting the number of times an individual or individuals were abused in any way at football matches, well we might as well pack up and call it a day.

I've met plenty of other protesters and know they are diehard Addicks who couldn't give a monkeys about the nationality of our owner. So when someone tries to portray them as something that they are undoubtedly not it's only natural that their motives are questioned, even if it is accepted that some genuine Addicks support the regime (or are at least against the protests).
