The Ballad of Civil War (a poem of the BoSH)
The sun had set on golden times
A tale is told within these rhymes
Gone are warriors of great renown
Those who remain are beaten down
And so at last it came to pass
The Clan no longer, a single mass
But cleaved in two, and torn away
The unity of a brighter day
On one side stood, those who still see
Redemption through continuity
Patient and sanguine, is how they strive
To be, their hopes still stay alive
On the other side, a firey crowd
Their words are sharp, their voices loud
A path of change, to them, the answer
The status quo, is but a cancer
Both sides are true, their cause the same
And yet their words, now cause disdain
Passion united, a powerful thing
But when divided, civil war it brings
Those who regard, this woeful tale
Might wish to know, who will prevail?
That answer, not within these lines
It will only come, in different times
The true question, that one should ask
And face the answer, a daunting task
Is which side in, this troubled age
Stands for the Clan, with righteous rage
The answer, not within this part
Of this verse, rather, in your heart
Is where you’ll find, the correct plan
To support, as a loyalist to the Clan

This is really simple AV, if the Rams can manage to pull off a few wins than Linehan and company will continue to have his supporters. And if he doesn't well, than we will all know what happen. It just seems to me, that you have already tried and convicted Linehan a long time ago. We all know that the man has made his share of mistakes and I myself have led the charge on his poor decision making in a few threads. But I don't think that he is purposely making decisions with the intent of hurting this team. I am as pissed with losing all four of our games in the manner that we did as anyone else, but for the moment i'm at least willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Of course all that can change, BUT at least i'm willing to let the man make the mistake before I crucify him.
Go Rams!!!

What will it take for Clan members, FO staff, and other fans to see the writing on the wall, so to speak?? Has anyone heard that story from the Bible? A mysterious hand appears and writes on the wall "You have been weighed in the balance and found left wanting". The writing is ON THE WALL for Linehan and I just feel like it will take two 1-15 seasons (I'm just assuming that we will win at least ONE game at some point in the season) for everyone to wake up and realize he is not the Messiah everyone expected him to be. Your poem is proving to be accurate.
P.S: Love the poem!!!!!!
