I take it you're referring to the 'all first team matches from 1905' thread. Glad you're enjoying it It was always in the pinned section at the top of page 1 until yesterday. I un-pinned it due to the change of management here. My intention is to include every first team match up to the present day - including all the WW2 games. At a rough guess that will take me around another 10 to 12 years So I might get there by the time I am 70... I am enjoying the process though, and learning about the players and games of yesteryear - still before living memory until I reach the 1960's...
Sorry guys. Had my head firmly stuck up my since Wednesday, it's been a difficult week. @Part Time Crombie Model was perfectly right - I am a horrid old wind-up merchant who enjoys being divisive and looking for trouble. I've made enemies out of fellow Charlton fans I've never met, and who have never done me any harm. Basically I'm a sad w@nker
Don’t agree with that Lardy, we all have different opinions- but the difference is we very rarely fall out with one another and don’t get abusive
Don’t be daft Lardi, you are an important part of our family on here. I’ll always appreciate the lengths you went to to get me back on 606 after I was banned on the pro SMT forum for the 83rd time
In six months I will have been posting on Charlton fans' forums for 10 years. September 2015 was the date I joined my first one (ITTV). Six months after that I joined this forum - though for many years I was just a lurker here. I've been a member of CL for a while too, but have been inactive there for some time. And I tried to contribute to the forums of @Dick Plumb1 I originally joined ITTV because I wanted to express my opposition to what Duchatelet was doing to CAFC. And I have been protesting, opposing, criticising and insulting, in various degrees and towards various targets, ever since. Many times I have gone too far. Now it's time for that to change. I'm going to mend my ways before it's too late. By the time of my 10th anniversary on forums I wish to show that I can be a better fan and a better contributor. The key to that aim I believe is one word and the value it embodies; Respect. So I am committing from now on to follow these three 'rules of engagement' for myself - on every platform; 1. I will not disrespect any other Charlton Athletic supporter. 2. I will not disrespect Charlton Athletic FC, it's owners, directors or employees. Past or present. 3. I will not post anything political, or deliberately divisive. That doesn't mean I cannot disagree with individuals or with the Club's collective choices. But if I do, that disagreement will be expressed in terms which are reasonable, civil and (wherever possible) evidence based. I regard these next six months as a test of my commitment. If I can live by these rules between now and September I believe I will have become a better poster, a better fan and perhaps a better person. I can't change what I have done in the past. But I can change for the better from now on.
Occasionally very naughty. Not saying I haven't contributed in positive ways too. But I can do a lot better
Accepted. And we are first and foremost football fans, not diplomats. We feel things deeply about the Club we love. My new personal code of conduct is not intended as a judgment upon any way that any fellow supporter chooses to express how they feel. That in itself would be disrespectful. Perhaps my chequered history would have been less bumpy at times though if I had focused more on the substance of my opposition and a bit less on letting my anger carry me in unpredictable directions. As mentioned, I can't undo what has gone by already. It's difficult to know the way things might have been if I'd used a figurative scalpel rather than a keyboard shotgun more often
The Tweeter is making the point that almost all of his signings are now paddling at a lower level having left us.
