The Lake Poets

[Cumbrian Mackem]

Anyone who says "I'm not a sheep" is a bell and not capable of self reflection. Fact.

Problem is we are all sheep, by definition we flock together and follow somebody whether its a football club, music, religion, Apple or fashion designers.

The fraternity of the mind numbingly stupid will never pick that up

Regardless of your views and opinions of the documentary, I just don’t understand why anyone doesn’t pick up the poignancy and the message behind the song.

 

[KNGHTHOOD]

Fuck off

He's smartin really smartin.

 

[janey]

I wasn’t sure about it at first but it’s a real grower. Makes me well up when he sings “I hope that I’m making you proud” for the second time as well

I bet his granddad would be very proud of him, mind.

That’s the bit, the poignant bit, that some seem to be missing

Really

Correct, she did enjoy going to matches but now she can’t as like you said she is rubbish, but people suffering from serve dementia and arthritis generally are.

Crikey fancy speaking about your mam like that. Her, Cattermole and Pickford - what a mix!

Pathetic

 

[janey]

I’m going to release an alternative song about call centres.

Class

 

[Smartin]

Who is Smartin?

Understands nothing about us or our city.
Mods. Show him the door.

banned for disliking a song, dear me... can we at least make my ban about me voting against brexit?

Really

The rules clearly state no offensive language or personal abuse. It has to stop.

 

[vinegar hill]

A banging drum would improve the song tbh, utter pish that it is.

Well it’s all opinion and you’re entitled to it mate.
Oh fuck all that, bellend.

You’ve never posted since April, when the protests failed, maybe the rules have changed

Off fuck

 

[Stubbs ftm]

Sorry I’m not a sheep - they’ve slapped a terrible song on a Sunderland documentary and the mindless flock are lapping it up. If it was on a documentary about Newcastle you lot would ripping it to shreads. It’s terrible, truly terrible.

It's not a terrible song though. It's a canny song from a local lad who is proud of where he's from. The albums good too.

Everyone has different tastes though.

Didn’t really fail as iirc we changed owners. Presumably you’re still living in the Narnia where Byrne was astute, Ellis had our best interests at heart and PDC had them sussed.

Except there was no protest to lead to the change.
I’m not living in any Narnia, I admitted I was wrong about Byrne, my stance about Short has been consistent, posted and never changed, I always said about PDC it would be brilliant or a disaster. I was right.
I’ve stood by my views and admitted where I was wrong. What I’ve never done is hidden for months. Carry on though
Oh and then to come back and in post 2 try and get someone banned

Stupid? Yes we all got the message, it isn’t subtle or particularly smart or well written, you can cram all the message you want in a song but if the songs poor what’s the point?

Hidden?
Lots of posters dip in and out the board you know. Most people don’t post on here daily for a decade.

I’m sure you could have written better to sum up the message about pride and wanting to make our dads and grandads proud by carrying on

 

[D.A]

Why can't people just shut up if they don't like the song? People are trying to do something positive and as always, a few bell ends are being negative.

Dear me. What an arse.
