    I've no intention or desire to lead any narratives, I just post my honest opinion ...

    ... so, no, I won't be apologising for that.

    Shock, don't recall anyone asking for apologies. Maybe you could let people have an opinion and leave them post it for discussion? Or do we all have to be super positive?

    People can be whatever they like, I'll comment on what I see, that's how chat forums work.

    I thought you, and a few others, were being negative and dragging that out day after day. his My post received about 30 likes so I wasn't alone in thinking that. Scout posted a similar comment, took a break and that received around 30 likes. I thought you were wrong and driving the narrative but I'm not asking you to say you were wrong.

    Post what you like, as everyone does, but we're all responsible for what we say and can expect to be pulled up.

    That's the last I'm saying, take it or leave it.

    I messages scout and apologised, funnily enough he didn't see why I was.

    If you want to fish for likes then so be it, I've defended this place so many times, but this past 2 weeks has me considering why.

    Maybe instead of fighting Scouts battles you let him and others speak for themselves? Or do we all have to toe your party line? Because it doesn't half feel like that

    Dear me, you don't half take all this to heart don't you.

    I'm not fishing for likes, don't need defending, not fighting anyone's battles and don't care if people agree with me or not ...

    ... I post what I think and that's that.

    I don't have a party line so however it feels to you, you're wrong ... sorry.

    Guys dont see the point in the back n forth but thought since ive been mentioned id comment

    @Chunksafc did message me privately but he honestly didnt have too. I took not offensive to anything he posted as it was just his opinion at the time - i also dont consider him a negative positive tbh.

    I got feed up of every thread being taken over about the same thing n thats why i stepped away from it for a week or so. It wasnt any particular poster that drove me to that - sometimes just nice to step away from things for a while

    Def dont want this place to become toxic with friction being posters.

    I dont agree with everyones opinion on here (noone will) but if its their opinion n this is their place to share or vent their feelings then bash on

    Folk will look for bites on here at times and look to wind folk up but thats just life

    Anyway its almost that time of the week for @RTB to create his match thread so looking forward to hearing everyones thought on the match

    It would help if you'd stop second guessing me and deciding what I think.

    It bothers me that you're upset, it doesn't stop me thinking you were being repeatedly negative.

    That's how it appeared and that's why I posted, simple as that.

    Sorry Scout, I messaged you and apologised as it was intimated I had contributed to you stopping posting.

    The same as I have publicly apologied to @Prehab26 as unfortunately I do view these boards as personal.

    I've have a week away and posted tonight, yet genuinely wish I hadn't as there is no middle ground, let alone recognition that maybe @Smug in Boots was a tad hasty

    It would help if you didn't decide to fish for likes and maybe engage in conversation about things. I have posted about the off the field issues, that you mocked because you go to loads of games.

    It's a genuine concern I and lots of others have, does it affect my thoughts on a weekend, no it doesn't. I fell out with prehab because he slated the lads, but I apologised as he is entitled to his opinion

    OK, you're getting a bit silly now so I'll repeat myself.

    I don't fish for likes, do you really think other posters are so gullible that I can hoodwink them into liking a post.
    Perhaps Chunks, they 'like' my post because they like my post.

    Who are these 'lots of others' who have real concerns about me, are they all cowering behind you hoping you'll speak up for them? Seriously, using that old nonsense is really scraping the bottom of the chat forum barrel.

    And come on you're really saying I don't engage in conversation about things ...

    ... come back when you've taken your blinkers off.

    What blinkers would they be? A handful of posts about off the field things in separate threads deservedly you accusing of spouting bile?
    Creating separate threads about things so the transfer window thread didn't get overloaded?

    But no I need to take the blinkers off

    You grabbed the wrong end of the stick.

    I clearly said take the blinkers off regarding me not engaging in conversation about things.

    You totally ignored everything in my post except the word 'blinkers' ...

    ... ironically providing my point as perfectly as could be.

    I seem to have a habit of of proving you right, god forbid tou would dare to admit calling 3 posters out was wrong.

    After all this is your board

    You're just being ridiculous now, other posters aren't as gullible as you're painting them ...

    ... most can give as good as they get without throwing their toys around.

    As you said, your first post in a week and what did it have to do with the thread.

    Nothing, just a childish dig and you trying to drive the narrative ...

    ... think about it why don't you, but you won't.

    It's a thread about the transfer window so I'm ending this conversation here ... you carry on if you like.

    God forbid I go against Smug and his determination to dominate 606.

    There's actually some great conversations to be had on here if you would let them

    Then a particular set of posters need to start letting others have an opinion without turning it into ten pages of ping pong. The abuse tends to be one way, of course.

    They'd rather spoil the board than not feel like they control it though. Any opinion other than their own seems to be some kind of challenge to their manhood. Weirdos.
