I'm sorry but we're not all the same. Of course we all have biases but some take it ridiculously far.
We are all the same in that we have "bias" and we ignore our own hypocrisy because of that "bias". I agree that we are not the same in the respect that we don't all take it "ridiculously far".
You asked why "judgement is different" and I offered an explanation; an explanation which, I thought, was reasonable. You disagree which is fair enough so; what is your theory on "why the judgement is different." if not "bias"?
For example, I've seen people here who were desperately defending Henderson in his first season who aren't even embarrassed at ruling Joe Allen completely out at such an early stage, for example.
And I have seen folk shitting on Henderson last season (and this) who are more than happy to give Joe Allen more time than they ever gave Henderson. It works both ways Diego. Like I say we all have our "bias" and have a tendency to forget to be even handed in our approach... again; it's human nature: it's in us all.
By the way, let's say I have a little impression that you're talking about me there. I disagree but would be open to discuss any hypocrisy totally open minded. Go on then.
To be honest Diego I hadn't you in mind at all but I was speaking more about the human psyche, in general, than any individuals. In fact, if you read that excerpt again the only person I mentioned was myself...
"we all tend to "ignore" our own hypocrisy when pointing out the failings of others. I try to be consistent but I'm probably as guilty as most." I suppose tho' you do fall under "all" but other than that? No.
Again; you may disagree but (in my opinion) all of us will, at one time or another, wade in the murky waters of hypocrisy. Me as much as anyone.
It can surely be debated that progress can take longer than that, though.
Exactly mate; you know it, I know it... let's hope FSG have learned it.
After all FSG are the people who will decide if Brendan gets the time. I would hope that FSG have learned from last season and (irrespective of how hypocritical they might appear) give the boss time to rectify any mistakes. It would be a shame if they didn't take into account all mitigating factors and sacked Brendan on the basis of a poor League showing (in my opinion).
