Floccinaucinihilipilification

Dennport_Hornets

There's just too much of it on this forum.

Players, chairman, board, manager, backroom boys and now poor Billy Barr!!

When will it all end.

Just how good does it have to get before some people make a positive comment (God forbid) 😀

We are 8 matches into a season which began with an enforced change of manager and backroom staff, losing two of our better players to "richer" clubs and an unbelievable run of bad luck with injuries.

Yet where are we? Bottom of the league? Consolidating in the bottom half?

No. We are 5th and getting better by the game. Reading some of the posts on here you wouldn't think so!😕

Whatever happens as the season progesses, I believe our start has been remarkable in the circumstances. So come on please, a little more positive thinking.

You know who you are. (Or do you? Perhaps it's congenital?😱)

Such a long word to mean absolutely worthless 😛

Was a word I was told about many moons ago and yes I can pronounce it and spell it as it was, don't know if still is, one of the longest words in the English language.

Desribes this post to a T I suppose 😀
 
Re: Floccinaucinihilipilification

I think it means, "the art [or possibly 'act'] of estimating as worthless". Many of us do it here every day when reading certain visitors' - and others' - posts. 😉

A longer word of course is Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis
 
Re: Floccinaucinihilipilification

I really don't understand these "don't criticise anything- things are going well" posts.

I post negative and positive things on the forum. I'm not happy about the way Billy Barr is going about things, so I'll mention it if I like because

A. it makes me feel like a Big Man, and
B. it's a sincerely held opinion, rather than a series of platitudes containing the phrase "well done Simmo".

He's doing pretty well, Simpson. Well done, him. And the Chairman? First class. Billy Davies? Bad Man. David Nugent? Scores goals. Danny Dichio? Doesn't score goals, but has a role in the team, dunn-e?

I've no problem at all with members posting threads criticising things they dislike at the club or pointing out things they think could be improved. The majority of posters on here when posting critical comments make reasonable arguments and positive suggestions. i.e. they suggest how things could be done better. Surely that's one of the purposes of a messageboard and can only be good for the club.

My bugbear is the number of doom and gloom merchants we seem to have on here. They vent their spleen about whatever takes their fancy without ever making any positive suggestions. When their particular object of derision "comes good", i.e. Simmo, all they do is move on to their next target!

I know every board has them but we seem to have more than our fair share.

Oh and thank you Ihatedingles for your comments. Once again bowled over by your mastery of wit, repartee and reasoned argument.

I don't suppose you've heard of irony. (Nor indeed of the rules regarding posts about other posters.)

You have a negative User Name and make negative posts. What's your problem?

Here's a little free advice.

Never post anything on a forum about someone unless you're sure you would say it to their face. (In this case believe me, you wouldn't!)

If you've only negatives to express why not keep them to yourself. Nobody else is interested.🙄
