We were poor yesterday but we won which is all that matters. We can only get better, I do not go as often as I used to due to work and family commitments but I will never slag the club off because I bleed Blue and Gold and will always be DONNY TIL I DIE no matter what league we are in

We couldn't believe how the Dons started on Sunday...it's like we had turned back the clock to the start of last season.
We had little cohesion, little overt passion and certainly little structure and plays.
It was like the team had just met and were having a kick about...and that lasted for the best part of half an hour and ALL of the second half.
We played decent rugby for 10 MINUTES.
obviously we managed to defend effectively enough to not get beat ...JUST!
A real let down.
Dunno if I am gonna bother going vs Oldham...looks like RH will change the personnel...mind you anything that brings Roberts in is a good thing.
Don't wonna get down to individual criticisms, cos folk don't like it, but some of our forwards are not what is required.

Don't let the hari krishna group change you S-O, rumours are that once the 3 steps of being a superfan are completed 1. Never talk about individual poor performances 2. Never criticise club Doncaster 3. Accept whatever league we are in and be grateful we have a club. Then Carl Hall will personally visit your house with a player of your choice and give you a certificate then and more exciting than that you will be allowed and welcomed onto the Don's supporters facebook as one of them.

I think my chances of that are quite unlikely - Its more likely to be a torch/pitchfork wielding mob coming to my door!

Most of the people on there said it wasn't good enough and we got away with it, same as on here. About 2 people were all sunshine and lollipops, but lets not let facts get in the way.

Facebook has got a lot better since people have been banned from just questioning others right to a point of view, it's noticeable that some who would shout down those who they perceive as negative have gone quiet as they didn't actually have an opinion. I feel it would certainly help on here too.

There is still no way Steve or myself could post our view on Cleggbook on the Dons group without Nigel B and Jim W jumping all over it, based on personality alone.
This forum is still a safe haven for negative views free from
those who use ad hominem as their modus operandum.
Cleggbook is still a vehicle of bile.
Of course it doesn't particularly bother me, but even so spats are really bad to be involved in.
People want to voice views free of insults...sensible, responsible views I mean.
Cleggbook is far more populated with more variety, this forum is a quiet backwater.

But yes I have noticed the improvement in the Dons group since the changes...so well done.

The simple way is that if it not a post about RUGBY...or connected activities, it gets deleted.
Questions regarding peoples' attitudes or positivity or negativity are deleted.

YOU CAN NOT TALK ABOUT THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE LACED BOOTS, or whatever

The true art of debate is to persuade others that your view is right and their view is wrong - not castigate someone on a personal level for having a different view.

Learning to disagree without falling out is something all forms of Social Media seem to struggle with.

I come on here because I like to listen to all views, share thoughts and ideas with others and make the whole experience of being a Dons' fan a better one. This is the only Social Media I take part in. I don't do Twitter/Facebook or anything else.

Thanks Brian - I go agree I have stalkers who must just wait for me to post on facebook.

It has improved recently and there is a lot less of a challenge to people validity to comment which I do appreciate Jemmo, I do find here you do get a more balanced and reasoned discussion on here, Social media is very "instant reaction" rather than a well thought out argument.

Reminds me a lot of the Monty Python "I've come here for an argument" sketch.
