Last of the summer whine for Toon fans?

The view taken by some supporters is ‘what will be, will be’ and we should get back to supporting the club. Other sections take it upon themselves to communicate their dislike of the current owner and will do until he’s gone. Personally, I say it’s a free country, but it’s not free to watch the Toon and so there are two good reasons, you should be able to say what you want.
However, even I found it a bit bizarre that we celebrated two of our goals with anti-Ashley jeering. And I guess it would have been nice to have got through a special occasion with Sir Bobby without that issue detracting from it. But it’s done now and we should move on, together. Except we can’t, at least for now but hopefully only until we’re sold and we all try to start getting on again.
So we should at least try and look forward eagerly to these next few weeks and hope some key decisions will be made and we can see the following –
– Ashley selling to a responsible and solvent owner
– The good form continuing on the pitch
– The fans less divided and happier
– Promotion?
– Europe??
– World domination???
Then we can get back to arguing over who had the biggest stinker in our last game, what our best formation is and where the best place is for a pint. And hopefully the next transfer window will be all about buying and selling players and the speculation we all used to love, and not dominated by the topic of buying and selling clubs.
It should be an exciting future and hopefully a prosperous 2010 but above all, we can hope the troops are United and we can get back to a proper undivided collective and just concentrate on deriding the opposition at games instead.
It was incredibly distasteful of those fans to chant those things during such an occassion. I don’t know what goes through some of their heads to be honest. DO they honestly think Sir Bobby’s family want to hear such things during such an emotional occassion?! Braindead.
Anyway, Like you say, what’s done is done and there is no changing that. However, i am quite surprised the press haven’t caught wind of it and used it as fuel to further ridicule the club. Maybe they are finally bored of ripping into us?
