Well, you see just before I truly make up my elderly mind of leaving for good, let's pour a drop of clear water into this ever amorphous liquid.
- It's true I repeatedly mentioned a hypothetical "blindness state" regarding certain elements of the game or individual players, but it can hardly be a personal attack on anyone, namely that I have no connection to anyone in this forum, I'm relatively new here and hence the "blindness" hadn't been personal, rather it is a fairly common figure of speech.
- Something becomes personal if you take it personally, which had never been my intention. I'm just often amazed how biassed some fans can be but that's all right.
- If you knew as many players on the international level as I did (perhaps you do, I wouldn't know that) you would be surprised how bloody selfish these players are in their private sphere. They rarely care for clubs, often they don't give a shit for their international teams and anthems, they are young, rich, uneducated, often spoiled and as a matter of fact they often contemn the crowd of fans too.
When you live a relatively long time under these circumstances, you involuntarily become less biassed, a bit more objective or bipartisan toward the game, clubs and players. I personally cannot change this, it's part of me due to my past, so it's almost natural that I see the game a bit differently compared to the real fans, who solely care for points and trophies but are rarely able to enjoy the playful and aesthetic part of this great game.
That being my primary input and point of view, it is natural that I would disagree with the real fans, almost continuously and it becomes quite understandable how differently we look at a particular game or the game as an entity. That's why I tend to just agaze upon the fans who often seem to understand little to nothing about the internals of the game itself. Yes I call this phenomenon as being blind, but without the personal aspect and without the aim to be personal on any level.
- Yourself as the Atlas here (carrying the weight of the forum on your shoulders) should understand this and should be able to distinguish between the real attacks and my big-eyed astonishment, even if possibly some short sentences can be indeed misleading.
- Following your advise I thought about it, even more than a second as you can see, but as a consequence I still don't feel the real base of being schooled, disciplined or enregimented.
