Just trying to stop people being so paranoid and negative about the Swans. We will have a great season, so let's be more positive about the team.
Who cares whether he's a Cardiff fan or not? As I recall the recent IP check revealed quite the opposite. Casual's contributions provoke debate and it's a valid opinion not to dwell on the past even if you don't agree with it. Getting hysterical every time he posts even the most innocuous comment is daft. As Cracker recently pointed out the witch hunt mentality on this board beggars belief sometimes.
I dont see awitch hunt going on, i see valid points being made by a long term poster(dilligaf) who has flagged up certain traits in casuals posts that make many on this board wonder wheather he has a different agenda from most other Jacks. Lets be perfectly honest about this, most wums are not that difficult to pick out,but there are plenty of slow burners that eventually lose their inabitions,also, its been bloob free board for too long which in itself is a bit weird . if the guy is a cardiff fan as kj says it doesnt matter but then why the cover? you have to admit his content is very odd sometimes. I tend to side with Vetch, Dilli and many other old forum members on this one, they seem to smell a rat and while every poster should be respected its easy to see why they think he aint a swans fan. Its not what you say its the way you say it and thats where WUMS get found out.
Aussie, I'm not conducting any witch hunt against him. At no time have I ever asked for him to be banned or for his posts to be deleted. I haven't asked anyone to join in either, I think the reason they have is because like me they can see by the style of his posts something isn't right. I won't back down because on more than one occasion he has resorted to making personal comments regarding my wife. Musty and a few others will back me up on this, they saw it for themselves. Casual will of course deny it, Musty asked him to apologise which he didn't of course. This to me was crossing a line and I won't tolerate him any longer. I think he is a reincarnation of Standing Fan back on 606.
I do remember that episode Dilligaf and i commented on it at the time asking "the invisible MODS" to step in and delete the comment if i remember correctly. in fairness to Ash though i think he was on the case with that one, there is something that dont make casual seem like a Jack to me,there seems to be a detachment from his posts that most football fans find a bit weird...your club winds you up no end most of the time !! a lack of passion is sometimes a good thing, but he does come across as being totally detatched from the raw emotion of being a swans fan. Its fair to say that in the face of constant sniping Dilligaf and other posters have as far as im aware never asked for him to be banned from the board,which is the adult way to go about things , its not a personal crusade either as many other Jacks have caught onto Casual fans type of posting, for me there is something that donest quite ring true, only Casual fan himself knows the truth.
I know what you mean about the 'detachment' of his posts, but there again he does live in Thailand. His posts make a lot of sense and he has got some big calls spot on - Brendan leaving and Joe on the brink. As for Standing Fan, impossible. Far too eloquent.
And i live in Norway,Cracker in Canada,Musty in Aus,Yankee in USA etc. and none of those posters sound detatched from the emotion of SCFC.
That's because they're all Swans fans Norway. I see ML says Joe will be training on Wednesday then, the plot thickens
...and deepens and widens Looks like you were right then Dilligaf So Swimaway,are you one of these people that likes to tell others how the film they are about to watch, ends ?? I was looking forward to a good old murder mystery type "witch hunt" with burning torches and pitch forks at the ready,seeking out the real identity of the rougue poster that some people know as CF,yes CF !! (very clever fair play) or Casual Fanny to most of us ...and you come along and take all the fun away by giving us the bloody answer !!! ..... So, Bangkok eh? does he do it aswell?? oh no, ive done it again..Gay reference on an internet forum..i'll just get my coat !
Completely agree on all this, AD. He talks more sense than many on here. I don't approve of making comments about wives etc. but I remember that thread and Dilli heavily provoked him. You can't deny it mate, sorry but you did. The guy has only got to post the most innocuous comment to be subjected to a torrent of abuse. I can identify with that as it happens to me. There is an Ignore button that works, people. (Bet my house this is followed by more abuse from the usual source) Standing Fan was a different kettle of fish and later morphed into John Hughs.
Agree to a certain extent with A_swan dam, All peoples views are valid. Having read some of the Article but admittedly not all of it, i am quite frankly a little shocked at the content, we are all Swansea City F.C supporters on here so why the Hell go to such great lengths to get one of our own banned?? over a difference of opinion! it really does begger belief !
casual is as much a swans fan as any of us and why he is picked on is beyond belief, He posts topics like i do what is relevant to the day whether its rumors about someone linked to another club or how well the lads done on the pitch.....that is what these forums are about and not about swans being great and everything negative is bollocks because we have seen so many times that some of the negatives are most certainly not bollocks and need to be aired. If you don't like the discussion then its no problem as you can skip the thread and move to the one you like ....to call someone a cardiff fan because he likes to debate up to date topics is pathetic.....he is a jack like me and you....
Tell you what I've got a challenge for Casual. Meet me at any Swans game home or away this season, you can chose and I'll happily buy you a pint, shake your hand and apologise for calling you a Cardiff fan. I can't be any fairer than that and what better way to prove me wrong
Think i will be casual fan for a day too ash.. I can imagine it being just like that scene in Sparticus " im casual fan,pint please.." "no, im casual fan..rum and coke please" "no,im casual fan.." etc,etc
