I would agree wholeheartedly with those who want to see Red Herring ousted and I wonder what kind of a fan gets pleasure out of constantly slagging Stanley off.
I do know, however, that the Observer were desperately looking for someone to do the column and nobody wanted to commit. If anyone is seriously interested why don't you have a word with Dany? I'm sure she would do something if there was a real alternative.

Have you never thought of doing it, Alice? Your previous posting proves that you have all the qualities needed to provide a perceptive, balanced, well-written column.

A very robust response from Eric to Red Herring's fishy rubbish can be seen on the official site. Sock it to 'em, Eric, we're right behind you!

I've just read Red Herring's column in the Observer, and I'm not best pleased about it. This guy's glass is definitely of the half-empty variety.

The editor of the Observer should place red Herring on suicide watch; play some Leonard Cohen music, give him some razor blades and tell him to get on with it!

I like Erics response.. made the same points as me... sounds just like me.. bless

Steven · 29-01-2005, 12:29

I definatly think we should get him kicked out

i am writing my email to the observer to get him booted now and will do so every week until he get kicked out

We have a fans view now if thewy cant find another fan to write it change it to a clubs view and have rob or coley or eric to write it

Is there anybody else joing me in this protest to the observer

Tin Monkey · 29-01-2005, 15:50

The club's views are printed every week aren't they? Why have another column from the club's perspective?

Maybe you don't like this Red Herring person, but a fans' eye view is still preferrable to your alternative suggestion.

Steven · 29-01-2005, 17:34

Ok then but surley somebody else can write this artcle

Jimbo T Hornblower · 29-01-2005, 19:13

Perhaps someone who IS a fan I think is the point Steven is trying to make...

With regard to all your comments about the offending article by Red Herring in last weeks Observer.

Football hardly ever gives the fans completely what they want, the Conference is not an easy league to get out of, I believe that the herring is out of order in slamming the powers that be and accusing them of giving up.

Fish are not supposed to have brains, if that is so, Herring proves that theory.

As far as being red is concerned, well, I leave that for you all to decide.
