Is it just me that would be underwhelmed if we signed Ronaldo?
Yes.

They shouldn't, and most of them probably don't, but the temptation's always there. If you know there's a website that exists where people are writing about you, either positive or negative, wouldn't you be tempted to visit it? Friends, family and other people from the club might also read things posted here, and narratives can start to build around players. Also the local media (namely the Mail and RadOx) regularly take topics and viewpoints from this forum and publicise opinions and feelings, it's free idea generation for them.They should not be reading this forum. No good can come of it.
There is some pretty abusive stuff about some of the playersIt’s a fans forum, nothing more, nothing less, full of opinionated amateur managers and players who think they know more and could do more than anyone of the players, coaches or staff associated with the club. Take me for example, I’d never miss a penalty.
If anyone gets offended by some of the drivel on here I’d be very surprised, I suspect they have a good chuckle at some of it and dismiss the rest as utter tosh, if they don’t I’d say give the forum a wide berth in future.

Isn’t that your… opinion?Perhaps people should be a little less opinionated and just enjoy the footie. Just a thought.
The biggest concern for me is what some folk identify as abuse or bullying.
Really? Can't tell the difference?
I'd have to toe punt it to be sure it reached the goalTake me for example, I’d never miss a penalty.
I think consideration also needs to given to the league we are in, if players were consistently 9/10 every game they wouldn't be playing in L1I don't think many comments cross the line in "normal" postings. But there are some posters who seem unable to control themselves following a defeat and respond with, what feels like, real anger and hatred towards some players.
Football is a squad game, and everyone will likely make a telling contribution at some point. Sam Winnall clearly disappointed during his time here, but there was still his goal against Gillingham that turned the game and kept us in playoff contention, his shot from 40 yards against Burton and the last minute winner versus Sheffield Wednesday.
This season so far, Long has had one good game and one poor game. Seddon has had one poor game and one decent game. Neither have been awful. Neither really cost us anything. So commenting on their performance is fine, but a little perspective is perhaps needed by some.
