Off Topic CL, ITTV and other forums (merged)

Embracing the journey whilst enjoying the players wearing the shirt.

 

What happened to that talk we used to get about things improving?

The lowest attendances at the Valley in decades and the lowest league finish for 98 years are not signs of improvement.
Neither is 48 players used in a season. Which I believe is a peacetime record.
How can anybody defend that, unless they are on a wind-up.

 

With a couple of brief interludes in 2011 & 2019, it’s been a s hit show for nearly 20 years. But you stick with your club regardless, thru thin & thinner.

Look at @The Penguin , Kilmarnock even got knocked out in the 1st Round of the Iron Bru Cup.

I am more optimistic about next season - better investors, better manager, a better quality of player being targeted.

 

Oi! Killie are in the Europa League next season!

 

I make them favourites to win it.

 

As long as they can avoid Connahs Quays Nomads .

 

Everyone has the right to talk sh1te on a football forum, including Ronnie Moore. Just enjoy.

 

Cannot agree with that, he is a total wum and needs to be thrown off.

 

Who is this Ronnie Moore?
I assume we are not talking about the actual Charlton player.
Is Ronnie Moore a nickname being used for whoever he is?

Apologies for not knowing. I haven't visited any other Charlton forums for over a year now.

One of many former Not606 posters told me that he met BB,and he really is what he seems, ie not a WUM. I admire his dogged determination in sticking to his silly views. If he was a WUM the mask would have slipped at least once during all the years he's been going.

 

Have to disagree totally, of course he is a wum.
He will say the total opposite to the majority.
He will change his writing style from a two year old to being correct English grammar etc.
He will not challenge anybody and get into conversation.

 

Today, the moron has said there is nothing wrong with Isted.
At best he cannot say anything wrong about Charlton.

 

And of course every single referee is gunning for Charlton. They really do hate us.
My source is impeccable, I sat next to him in the NW for a couple of years before we realised we were both on this forum. He met Ronnie at a party, and he is exactly the same in real life is he is on CL. I don't think there are any standard descriptions that fit him.

 

I’ve managed to ween myself off of ITWV’s and no longer look in on it.

BB (who I think is Ronnie is he ?) seems just a strange person.

Of course he’s entitled to his views if they are genuinely how he feels, but it’s this thing about not replying to other posters nor backing up your point of view with facts that always seemed odd.

What’s the point of going on a public forum and not debating ?

You may as well just go back to having a personal paper diary where you record your own thoughts.

 

He posts stuff to get a reaction. Nobody can genuinely be that thick.

Check out his player marks on the match threads on CL and ITTV.

If our defender scores three own goals and gets nutmegged by a guy in a wheelchair, BB gives him 9/10 and “very good player excellent performance again”.

 

I agree with FHB.

BB is so consistent in his content that despite it often having little or no relation to reality as the rest of us see it, I think he genuinely believes most of what he posts. This may simply come from him seeing the World differently than most of the rest of us see it.

 

SeriousRidiculous allegedly alluded to learning difficulties.

 

I don't know whether he used that exact term, but if he did that's tactless as well as presumptuous in my view.
Other terms such as 'Autistic' are not helpful either, as those terms are loaded with preconceptions - most of them negative and even stigmatising.

There is undoubtedly a very broad spectrum of neuro-diversity among us all, as there always has been.
I'm not entirely happy using that phrase either, as it is seen as 'woke' in some quarters.
But all it really means is that, as unique individuals, we have many different ways of perceiving the World around us.
A hard-wired starting position if you will, from which we add many other perspectives by choice as we go through life.

Some of us for example, are more inclined to seek order from chaos and try to add to that order by the things we do, be it work or hobbies.
Not all librarians or scientists (for instance) have that inclination on the neuro-diverse spectrum, but I expect many do.
My long standing hobby of cataloguing every Charlton Athletic first team match from 1905 to the present day could be seen as an example of neuro-diverse behaviour. I'm quite happy to accept that. It doesn't mean there's anything 'wrong' with me.

The way BB perceives the doings at Charlton Athletic and his opinions of them - as well as his apparent unswerving loyalty to whichever administration is running the Club at any given time and his marks out of ten for player performances, are possibly just another example of a different position on the neuro-diversity spectrum from that of many other fans.

I certainly would not label that a 'learning difficulty'.
I hope SR did not use that term, as I would guess that he - like most of us - does not know BB anything like well enough to pronounce such a judgment.

 

A very good summary in my opinion. The world is a much better place by accepting the differences in which some of our brains process the same basic facts.
