Yes it's a good natured thread and I can't see that anyone has taken any particular issue with it? Yet we've still got one lad being abused for no apparent reason other than he doesn't fall in line with what the old boys club are telling him. Definitely encouraging new posters
Gustavo and John Cardew - thanks for your comments - they reflect what I was attempting to convey but some obviously don't appreciate debate ... although I think I fall short of 'invasion' Seem to have got Funky's goat because I happened to opine on the nature of prediction leagues on here towards the end of last season - wasn't meant as a criticism of the Sunderland one when I did it - more just an observation of such things - including our own - that our predictions for rivals or those engaged together in any contest (the relegation scrap) unitntentionally (perhaps) tend to colour their predictions with a drop of wishful thinking ...
It's okay mate, there's definitely been a trend in recent months whereby any opinion differing from the accepted one of a few "top-ranking" posters gets completely berated until the poster is chased away. You had the nerve to come on here, a football forum, and onto a thread about YOUR club, and start talking about football. You got what was coming to you
I know that, but there are some who would like to believe there is Look it doesn't bother me, I can fight my own corner. But time and again we see people put off from posting for not being allowed to have their own opinion, which is fine, but then we see complaint after complaint that there aren't enough posters? Can't have your cake and eat it. By the way, I don't include yourself in that group Commachio, but you knew that...
I don't think you are, you're yourself and deal with every poster in the exact same, brutal, ruthless way I like you and Billy as posters, you bring something no one else does. If, as you always say, you want more posters posting, maybe it's time you started defending new posters who get attacked for no reason? As a respected voice on this board it would probably make a difference...
So can the Leicester lad ffs, he's a mod, I doubt he needs the likes of you to hep him out. Do you think you're some kind of tough guy who wades in to protect the delicate and sensitive posters against nasty people like me? Perhaps he'll tell us if he feels he needs your protection. For the record I've not denied him an opinion, nor have I abused or insulted the lad ......... as you're directly accusing me perhaps you'd care to prove what you're saying and post my worst personal insult. In fact, let me save you the time and embarrassment of trying, I haven't and you're wrong yet again. In fact, the only person who's 'berated' anyone is Comm, as he does, and you totally excuse him because 'he's like that with everyone'. I've been nothing but polite and discussed football points with the lad ........ as he's still here he hasn't exactly been chased away. Just look at some of the extremist language you use in a pathetic attempt to prove your ludicrous point. completely berated chased away being abused slated with personal insults
Well you wasted a lot of your own time there by writing out paragraph after paragraph about why I was wrong to "directly accuse you". If you can show me where I've done that then I will give you it, but unfortunately you don't follow your own advice of backing up what you say As for the Leicester lad, I'm not saying he needs protection. I'm merely saying that there are many complaints on here of there not being enough posters, and pointed to this thread as evidence for why that may be. So, if you would care to provide me the quote directly accusing you then I'll take all of this back, but let me save you some time and the embarrassment of trying, I haven't and you're wrong YET AGAIN.
Great, so you're accusing me of nothing, I'm very pleased to be wrong So, who are you referring to with these comments, completely berated chased away being abused slated with personal insults
Nothing except being a hypocrite Don't ask people to do things that you can't do yourself, and don't just make up claims out of thin air in an effort to substantiate your arguments. Just looks weak and pathetic tbh.
I've admitted I was wrong. Something you can't do despite being completely unable to prove what you've said. Still, nice to know that I'm not one of those posters who chase people off the board or insult anyone It seems you don't have any actual complaints about anyone on here which makes your previous comments quite hypocritical.
