Sometimes I don't understand all the criticism the website comes in for. It's a fans' website, open to all fans and all their opinions. Unless you are an idiot or just a nasty piece of work you get to voice your opinion. These opinions range from Tony Marsh to Richard Dodd and everyone, myself included, in between. It's the job of the editorial team to run the site and keep the idiots and nasties out. Nothing more. I don't see them as having an agenda as a result.
Here's the opinion of fans out there. Have a read and see what you think. Fair enough in my view. And yes, as fans, they are as entitled as anyone else to throw their tuppence worth in, either in responses or in their own pieces. So let them at it. When you think about it, neither your local boozer or your workmates are as egalitarian about your football loyalties.
When I think of it too, the crap I've posted when tired, sulking in work or just plain frustrated with the club that I have cringed over afterwards, I am amazed that I still get to have my say. As a result I cannot really afford to take the moral high ground with anyone. (I've done it once or twice and felt a muppet afterwards so apologies to all concerned.) As a result I don't understand why people feel the need to complain about posts.You know what you're getting, like it or don't log on.
In fairness too, none of us have the definitive opinion on any subject related to the club yet we all get our say. What more do you want? There's always the official club site I suppose.

I felt that there was a time where every anti Moyes, Kenwright, Wyness etc etc comment was greeted with a huge welcome from you guys and every positive comment was roundly scorned as "IMWT" or the "Moyessiah" jibes.
With the new format I think a more balanced view is available and the whole site ’feels’ more accessible.
I think you’ve done a sterling job and even though I don’t always (often) agree with your opinions I thoroughly enjoy reading them.
Cheers Guys
I agree with Lyndon - I think the diversity of contributions here is great, and whilst Michael, Colm and others may make comments that people don’t agree with - it is just their opinion.
I think BlueKipper does toe the ’party line’ - backed up by the interviews with Wyness and the fans events they arrange with the support of the club. That said, they do a good job - I don’t think ’do I log on to TW or the BK site’ - I read both. They’re very different, but for exiles like me, vital for keeping up to date with what’s happening.

We're all Blues, we just have different expectations and ways of conveying them. A guy like Tony Marsh — I keep bringing him up because his post this past weekend attracted such a violent reaction by some — can't be faulted for his passion even if you don't like the way he makes his points. That's what this is site is about — if you've got something to say, we'll provide you a forum for your views. It enriches the debate and expands the content we can offer our readers. Seems like a good deal to me...
