I'm not a PF refugee as you put it marra. I was posting on 606 when it was under the BBC banner, username was theinediblebulk. Stopped posting on here when the Beeb kicked it and signed up to PF. Stopped posting on there about 4 year ago and signed back up on here last year as 1: I missed the Sunderland banter as an exile and 2: it was a lot more relaxed and chilled than PF was.
The whole clique thing is a nonsense, and
@Gordon Armstrong doesn't lay bans out on folk for a bit disagreement. He's a better mod than that. Only other ****er he's banned was mittens and he made the correct decision there an all. NQD was going way beyond simple disagreement and having a freindly back and forth about it. Here's a quote from NQD, post 3535, page 177
Guess a lot of people are upset I’ve rocked the boat and upset their little ‘sucking up’ party and now because the big ITK is unhappy as it goes against his opinion I’m a liar... judge, junior and executioner
We’ll no one else here has divulged their ‘source’ and the info has been accepted without any Hesitation as it’s positive and they want it to be true
Sucking up party? the big ITK? Accept without hesitation? He's proper got an axe to grind with
@Smug in Boots and managed to achieve that after posting for four days. That's some going. And I'm not any kind of smug fan boy but he did post all the way back when I posted on PF and plenty posters had good words to say about him all the way back then, and still do today. He's sorted plenty tickets for folk and if I ever needed one for a match, I'd have no hesitation asking him to sort me out. And even though he's never met me, I bet my last dollar if he could get me a ticket, he would. He's got years worth of references imo and that's why I'll take what he says in good faith. He even divulged his source last year ffs, it was the art dealer mate of Fuhrman iirc. NQD can't even get that right.
