Tears to eyes moment came after reading the sycophantic responses protecting “the TaNaKh.”…. The ‘author’ must be creaming himsef – in his ivory tower – over some of his really sad (no honestly) sad subordinates……. it’s going to be an embarassing debrief over the usual ‘half of mild’ this week.
Quite honestly………..I’d rather see the return of ‘beetlejuice’ et al than suffer the moanings of the ‘fifth columnists’ – who can’t leave the past alone and have no affinity with this generation.
I’m a football fanzine editor not the leader of the Third Reich :?
You seem to have a very unhealthy obsession with the Mudhuts website, and I would love to defend whatever it is you seem to be accusing individuals on there of doing but to be perfectly honest I barely understand a word of it
You also seem to have appointed yourself some kind of official leader of this site and protector of the peace of the good ship Cockney Latic against the evil Mudhuts
This is strange as I was a founder member of this site, edited 46 issues of the Cockney Latic fanzine over 6 years, wrote dozens of pieces for the website and organised countless social events.
In all that time, no MickyC ever wrote a page for the fanzine, never contributed a front page story, never introduced himself at any of our Cockney Latic charity or social events and indeed rarely used the message board at all in the six or so years that I was a moderator of it. I very much doubt John or Jay know you either but maybe I’d better ask seeing as you are taking such a deep and unhealthy interest in me :?
And as for me, well back in the real world – I’ve made lifelong friends through my association with Cockney Latic and it’s good to see that people on here still stick up for me even though I’ve not been around for a while. The reason being that they know me and have met me, they are not sat on internet message boards in the early hours dreaming up, elaborately concocted conspiracy theories while full of ale.
I suppose that’s why I’m ‘tarnished’………all those flat capped, whippet racing, mild drinking, woodbine smoking, pit working drunks knew more than me when I was a JCL watching Sir Milne and Mr Fleming knock them in in their day – but hey………it’s obvious that we need reminding.
I don’t care if someone has been watching Latics for 2 games or 2,000 games, the whole premise of the article was that we are struggling and instead of getting behind the team, around 1 in 3 of the fans we have picked up since our elevation to the Premier League have deserted the club because we are struggling in the lower reaches of the table.
My problem is with the ones who have stopped going not the ones who do go, and I don’t care how long they have been going.
Yes it did descend into a rant but it was from the heart, a call to arms, for those we have left to stick together.
I’m sorry you don’t agree with everything I write but if we all agreed life would be boring.
I do not preach I write, I don’t mind having my writing dissected, as you say
I’ve dedicated my life to writing about Latics: 2 books, 75 fanzine issues, contributing to many before that in the guise of the Latic Fanatic and the old Cockney Latic. I wrote for the programme for 2 years, contribute to endless newspapers, magazines, radio etc and I never take a penny because I love the club and I love writing about it. I must spend 30+ hours a month writing about Latics (I hope the wife doesn’t read this)
If you have a problem with other individuals on the Mudhuts/Mudhutter site why not take it up with them? They’re all big boys as I’m sure you are too.
To state we are all as one and of the same opinion is surely you doing the exact same form of stereotyping you have accused Mudhuts of doing?
Come on, Micky, give it up pal. I’ve not got all day to play games as I have to do a press release for another charity event but I’m out of my ‘ivory tower’ so do your worst. I’m also (from my professional background) working on a paer which will contain at least 50 ideas on how we can boost crowds at the DW which I will be putting in forward of the new CEO at some point.
I do this and give up time and effort for free because I care about the club not driven by some hidden agenda
If there is a hidden agenda, perhaps you’d like to tell me what that is, because I certainly don’t know?
Why not tell us all (in plain English not riddles if that’s possible) what your problem is with me?
As you say, life’s too short to hold grudges so feel free to be as honest as you like with me
