    Thank you. That means a lot.

    I don't like her and she doesn't like me. Fair enough. I keep out of her way and largely ignore her though.

    No idea why she is so fascinated with me. I'm not even that interesting and I'm quite boring really! Nowt as queer as folks I guess.

    I dont know you @becs , but you come across as a genuinely nice person, always willing to help and support others.
    I think you are a highly respected poster (both on here and otr) and i dont think hettybot likes that.

    I do know @becs and what you say @Snaggey is very true. A very nice lady with a very nice daughter and very well respected by many sunderland supporters.

    Please tell me this is a wind up. It’s one of the classic riffs of all time.

    I wish it was, one of my favourite recordings but now when I listen those first 20/30 seconds is bloody awful.

    Becs, in your RAWA capacity, is there any chance you could raise Comfys suggestion of incorporating our league titles in the clubs badge at the next club meeting?

    I would love it <laugh> <laugh> <laugh>

    Having @becs on any message board is a blessing.

    Behind the scenes she supports posters who are having problems, works with volunteer groups and more.

    It amazes me that anyone on RTG would stand by and let someone as pointless as Hetty drive someone so valuable away from their board.

    There are people on RTG who'll relentlessly persecute anyone who doesn't allow them to rule the board ...

    ... they're sad little weirdos who barely tolerate Sunderland, the city, or the NE but want to dominate the forum they've attached themselves to.

    In the meantime ordinary Sunderland supporters are targeted by people not fit to call themselves supporters.

    Hetty doesn't seem to have much emotional attachment to SAFC other than posting links or claiming to be itk.

    I'm not even sure what the plan is, Hetty could rule the board by forcing others aside but it would be a dull place without its best posters.

    In the good old days I could waste hours, now I can barely read it for ten minutes.

    And that's the problem mate, people like me, with SAFC tinted glasses, are openly ridiculed and called out as 'part of the problem'.

    Now that 'the problem' isn't really there they're not sure who to attack any more ...

    ... you just know they're waiting for us to 'fail' so they can start their attacks again.

    Pretty much how I feel now. I joined the board around 2002 and it was great back then. Now, not so much.

    A quick Google search says...

    English football clubs do not typically display the total number of titles won on their shirts, but Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town historically used stars on their shirts to mark significant achievements, such as their European Cup wins or multiple major trophy hauls, rather than a numerical count of all titles.

    Nottingham Forest:
    Has two stars on their crest to represent their consecutive wins of the European Cup in 1979 and 1980.

    Ipswich Town:
    Displayed three stars on their home and away kits to denote the three major trophies they had won at the time: the FA Cup, the UEFA Cup, and the old First Division.
    Other examples of European traditions:

    Manchester United:
    Featured stars on their Champions League kits to mark their European Cup victories, but not a total count of their domestic league titles.

    Celtic and Rangers:
    In Scotland, Celtic wears one star for their 1967 European Cup win, while Rangers has five stars for their 50+ league titles, showing a specific but not overall count.

    It's just a few little stars on a football shirt, if anyone objects they're bellends imo ...

    Ive met a few off here thanks to @Smug in Boots organising a few meets pre Wembley, since seen few in pubs or at games, had some very decent craic with a number of posters, bizarrely myself & @marcusblackcat grew up a couple if miles away from each other. Hoping to get to his next gig he plays in the woodman depending who we play that day, remind me of the date mate?
