Too much time spent on social media and you are starting to think you are of some importance.

To be fair when des starts his "your sort" posts he deserves to be called out on it. For some reason, with absolutely nothing to suggest or support it, he'd suddenly start accusing posters of being inherently racist or sexist. He's been doing it for years. Not sure if it's so that he can try and feel superior, or whether he genuinely believes that every poster except him has some dark ulterior motive to every post but it's out of order. Of course some take great offence at having baseless accusations thrown at them, respond a bit aggressively and get banned. Fair enough if you've seen a poster regularly displaying sexist or racist views but he does it to perfectly decent posters. We are allowed to say Byrne was under qualified and ****e without it being due to her sex in just the same way we say it about De Fanti (although Des probably thinks that's us all being xenophobic). He's a grown bloke, it's ****ing pathetic.

I'm not going to argue against a single word of that.

It just annoys me when someone responds to the poster, not the post.

So do you want to name these crooks.
Bain was inept but not a crook as for who the others are I'm intrigued.
Moyes was inept but not a crook.
When he was hired there was a groundswell of support for him. Short, in a show ( last gasp?) of support let him waste 34m in his disastrous season.That season was a big spend compared to many. Had short visibly interfered etc there would have been hell on. But he trusted moyes ( as most fans wanted and expected) and it backfired spectacularly. Same applies to advocaat, o'neill, bruce, keane. Bruce at least balanced the books but he bought some 5hite.
Short is an easy person to blame, but to me it is just lazy thinking.
As for byrne it was very clear during her tenure that her gender was like a target on her back. For the up and coming chauvinist a woman in a very senior role in a football club is kryptonite and so it proved. God only knows how much worse it could have been were she a person of colour as well.
Strange that even though so many on here disparaged her for her supposed lack of football understanding ( there's irony personified ) she has forged a very good reputation as a players agent since she left. People with real knowledge of the game (not social media misogynists) clearly respect and trust her

Na I'd imagine a mod will intervene if it doesn't get back on topic.

Wonder if they will announce anything post or pre match?

I've got a feeling be after brexit if it happens on 31st as surely they could get us cheaper?

It won't mate.

The Mods will sit back, observe, then act if people continually work themselves.

If people make no other 'contribution' other than engineering arguments they'll be removed.

Arguments are obviously fine on a discussion board but people need to make it an argument about the thread, not each other.

I've not read this 'debate' as it seemed relentless and boring with no one prepared to listen.

However, I'd be very surprised if Rocky was acting up, he's definitely not in a clique.

It's a match day so I don't really want to get bogged down with this but I'll take a look tomorrow ....

... by the looks of things it'll still be going on ;)

I'm sorry but I disagree, because I class anyone who posts looking for 'likes' from other members of his 'group' and then see them jump in to reinforce what he's posted as being exactly that!

I didn't like the post implying we are sexist and racist but looking at the time it was close to 2am.

Lad probably had a drink, totally disagree with that he said but **** it move on.

Threads getting clogged up.
 
Trying to get the thread kind of back round and thinking about the fitness just shown by the rugby boys.

When the takeover / investment goes through and they review everything, would it be such a mad idea to employ a top rubgy fitness coach?

He is in Australia, it was a deliberate act as usual.
