Everyone's a critic?

Good post Derek

I remember a few seasons back Michael K. posted he couldn't be arsed writing the preview for a particular match and asked for volunteers to do it. And of course someone did and very capably too.

There are very many capable posters on this site who could easily turn out an enjoyable match preview. Just look what Conor did even though it was very last minute.

The new guys just need to ask for volunteers and there will be no shortage.

Derek, Yes just write it as you see it and good on yer Derek you’ve just told me the kick off time, thanks for that mate I thought it was another 3-00pm game.

All the write ups of the game itself yesterday were very good with Conor doing a rush but very capable job and getting the ball rolling.

I think the oversea readers and fans unable to get to the game for one reason or another look forward or even rely on these pre match and actual game reports but it’s nice for most of to see any information about the Blues.

Two things I don't understand from the hand wringing anguished of old TW.

If your fragile little arses can't cope then piss off to another site alternatively stop expecting to be spoon fed and write your own stuff.

I hoped the lunatic antagonists from the old site would follow LL but I see some of the desperados are flitting between both sites.

Piss or get off the pot.

Man Utd looked pretty toothless today at Spurs. We may well go into the game as favourites. A different test for the new old guard.

I don’t get some of the defence being given to the new owners of the site.

It’s like your local pub being taken over and then having to serve drinks yourself as there’s never anyone at the bar (and when there is, they get it wrong).

If your local pub is on the verge of closing down... surely you're going to step up and try to save it?

Barry you were a lot more convivial in the Prince George yesterday…
Wasn’t he Rob (and Danny btw…)

Brendan - But there’s a shiny new pub over the road and lots of your mates already drink there. They’ve even got fucking Guinness!!! ;)

Mark…..No Comment! 😂😂😂

Is the Guinness cheaper?

Brendan - It’s the same price but is well poured and the staff are attentive.

Scott #11

I'd prefer it cheaper.

Attentive... naw. Rude and funny as fuck...

I've just described Michael Kenrick.... No?

Reading between the two threads it sounds like a few of the regulars might have been having a laugh in the real pub about another ToffeeWeb regular!

I don’t mind serving myself sometimes Scott, just as long as our Michael has got himself a pay rise mate🤞

They ran out of Guinness yesterday Brendan, which didn't go down too well. The bar maid did point out that "well you lot have drank it all"!!

As already mentioned on here, it's easy to criticise, but change takes a level of adjustment. I still think they should be given time to keep the good things, which they done with Michael back and maybe add new ideas. Time will tell.

There are plenty on here who can contribute.

This is what worries me about the new owners/editors of the site.
The soul of ToffeeWeb was informal, relaxed. It wasn't held on the leash like an official site.
This meant it was always a place for the everyday fan to ponder, ponder the next game, the last game, read about petty concerns and updates on injuries.
Read basic fan articles that could be from the sublime to the ridiculous about everything Everton and be able to throw your own stone in the pond in the comments.
Read educated informed articles from subject experts in finance etc who still had a dog in the race.
I have no doubt the new team have what it takes to run an efficient site. But do they know what we want to read???
Do they understand the soul of ToffeeWeb.
Some one posted above about ensuring fans contributed to the site. This is probably more Important now than ever before.
