I’m not saying you should do anything you don’t want to do but coming here and telling people to care less because that’s what you do and it makes you happy isn’t a lecture people want to hear.Are you saying it would be better for the club, the team and myself if I came on here to piss and moan after every setback?
Of course I care. I want United to win and be involved in big matches and competing for big trophies, however, I have zero influence on the outcome. Be patient, appreciate that not every performance is indicative of the direction the club is going in this season (it is so, so early), remind yourself that this isn't the SAF era and we are competing against a club which has engaged in systematic cheating and be grateful that you get to enjoy watching a premier league team.
Honestly it would do people some good to go and follow some non league football so they can see what real struggle is like.
We all have nothing to do with the club in that sense. You talk as if you're the commercial director or something. You're as much a part of the club as a fan that goes to a concert or streams a song is part of the band. Or maybe it's "real fans go to concerts, you're a plastic for just streaming it online" if we want to go all in to the: 'Are we fecking four years old or something?' territory. All this shite PR men have been pumping into your head for donkeys years. The club makes fans think they're part of it to get them to part with their money. They don't have a separate pile for the funds you give them.
"This comes from RedOrange, we'll put income we get from him over in this pile, because he's part of the club"
You're no different from any other fan. If you don't turn up theyre not stopping the match going ahead. Fans are an important part of the club in the whole sense, not individually. The only distinction between you and someone who watches a game on television from the far east and spends 6 hours a day on RedCafe is that one guy knows the club doesn't give a feck about him or even knows he exists, the other is labouring under a hilarious delusion of grandeur that he's part of the club.
Fantastic attempt to Top Red the subject though.
Fair one.I’m not saying you should do anything you don’t want to do but coming here and telling people to care less because that’s what you do and it makes you happy isn’t a lecture people want to hear.
I’d suggest that people care the lowest amount they can get away with and still be a fan, it’s still fecking annoying to watch us play shit and lose.
I don't get that mentality. You see it a lot in entertainment nowadays too. "Don't complain, don't criticize, don't think too much. Just turn your brain off and consume.""Just care less guys, football is more enjoyable when you don't give a feck what happens".
I’m a supporter from the Doc era in the 70s so I’ve seen a fair bit where United is concerned. But what has got my goat is the apathetic nature of the team in general this past 10 years to defeat. The ‘we will learn lessons from this’ mantra trotted out after every defeat- whilst this has clearly not been the case. I like TenHag but his comments yesterday of us needing to ‘run more’ - wow!!!!!
Our local and older fans are generally great. Always support the team, even through some horrendous performances. Generally proud of them. You see the older ones on here generally being rational and reasonable.
The vast majority of our internet fans, however, reflect the general trend of online culture. They represent the most reactionary, impatient, hysterical, toxic, knee jerk, hyperbolic, outraged, angry, pitiful dregs of human existence. I have to imagine that the anonymity of it all causes people to show their worst side, or lose their tiny minds. It’s hard to believe that so many hysterical idiots can actually congregate in one place, online, at one time.
But perhaps people really are this stupid. I just manage to largely avoid them in every day life. One thing is for sure, social media of all forms essentially became a warp drive for the proliferation of ignorance, outrage and intolerance.

When I was 14 me and a mate cadged a lift in a van to stoke to see our team and pledge undying support to a team and manager that had just been relegated about 20,000 reds there today’s internet generation would have collective breakdowns and demand players and manager sacked and exiled times change I supposeOur local and older fans are generally great.
