• Thank you very much | Diolch yn fawr

    All at JackArmy.net would like to thank everyone who has played a part on this site over the past 25 years whether that is through writing, contributing, moderating, posting or just visting and reading.

    Without any of you the work that has gone into the site would have been pointless and we will always be proud that we built, generated and managed a community that was such a big part of the Swansea City supporting life for so long.

    It has been a pleasure to bring to you the site for so long but the time is now right to turn the lights out for the last time but we do it both with a heavy heart and a sense of pride driven by the so many messages received since we announced the closure.

    The site will remain here for a period until we archive and mothball it for the last time later this summer but all aspects are in a read only format.

    Thank you though for all the memories

    Phil Sumbler
    Owner, jackarmy.net

The problem is, some people who never wanted Martin to leave in the first place and are hoping Duff will fail.

Cadleigh, I know you wanted Martin to fail from day one, because you didn't like his slick back hair and his gilets and the way he spoke and whatever else, and you are glad to see the back of him, but not all supporters are like you. In fact, I think most people actually want Duff to succeed, I certainly do. Just because you had a misanthropic view of the previous head coach, it doesn't mean that everyone else's mind works the same way as yours. Because there are one or two shouty people on Twitter, it doesn't mean there is a plot against Duff.

I think you should take heed of your own advice and stop looking backwards, look forward. It'll be much better for your health.

I am fairly certain that I didn’t criticise Martin until after Fulham away - Match Day 10 - when I was frustrated that he didn’t change tactics despite Fulham sussing us out and catching our WBs too high up the pitch time and again. I don’t see how that counts as ‘wanting him to fail from day one’…

As far as I can see you have criticised pretty much everything about Duff but you end every post with ‘… but I won’t make my mind up until November’ like some small child claiming that a promise didn’t count because they had their fingers crossed behind their backs. Meanwhile you go on SCFC2 and slag off posters on this site. Do you think that Phil and his regulars are idiots?

Absolutely not, Cadleigh, having been a member of the Trust for years while Phil and co were running the show (and very well I might add - unlike the current shower, but that's another story). I have the utmost respect for him and everyone who acted on the Trust board at that time. I wish they were there now.

It's a shame you resorted to petty points scoring at the end of your post there, but then, I shouldn't really be surprised given it was those sort of antics that saw you banned from the other site in question. I'm sure other people on here are aware of that.

Anyway, for transparency, I upload a screenshot of what I assume to be the "slagging off" post you refer to, as the accusation is so laughable. I'll let others make up their own mind as to whether or not you're talking tripe.
