Proud of the on ice Steelers team.
Ashamed of the off ice (mainly social media)
Yeah another unnecessary post was made.

I see the Us and Them mentality has reared its ugly head yet again.

I’ve just had a read through this, and read some of Simmseys previous tweets…..seems you can’t voice your opinion without being met with sarcasm.

You do know his history with this forum don't you!!
its all very pathetic on his part. He was a member and got himself banned for not following forum rules and has ran his personal vandetta and hate campaign ever since.
He is like a stroppy toddler that doesn't get his way.. And believe me, I am qualified to say that...

No I wasn’t aware, but thank you for sharing. Yeah I can see that reflected in his tweets, and no one is allowed to have a negative opinion either lol.

The thing is, its not necessarily negative to say you dont believe that a certain player isn't as good as he ought to be or that you now feel the team lost to many games to lower clubs or even that you really can't see us winning the league 4 games from the end of the season, is it! Especially when you're prove right after all the dust has settled..

Just because some fans have an opinion that is based on their own reality of watching a whole season of games without the benefit of being in the locker room or in the doctors med room doesnt give him the rights to basically Snipe from his self built pedestal backed up by is sycophant davidians.

Take a look back at his tweets going back season after season and you will notice a pattern of the fans getting it spot on in the main and him getting it wrong time and time again..

Only to spin it in the DS BS way he always does..

Anybody else disappointed we didn't pull Rok for an extra attacker those last two minutes? I know technically we were still in with a shout if we won in OT but Coventry would have had to beat Belfast the last game of the season and I just couldn't see it. I'd rather us have gone for it in regulation and I thought we'd put enough pressure on Belfast the last 5 mins of the third period to really turn the screw. All if's and but's though! Belfast I think were streaks ahead of any team in this league since Christmas. Just wonder if we'd faired any better if not for the season ending injuries to Connolly and Todd, not to mention losing DeLuca as well.

They discussed that same question with 2 minutes to go on Prem sports when Murphy wondered if we would pull the keeper to try and win in regulation.

Adey said with his coaches hat on that it would be too risky and most coaches would prefer the added pressure for Belfast to win or take a point from their final game against Coventry.

Pressure in sports creates lots of surprising results in my experience at least.

Chris McSorley would be the only historical coach I know that would have done that and would have got scored on too :D . Not even sure whether Blaiser would have back in the day to be honest.
