Is it me or are we turning against each other

There are some threads that open up with an interesting idea but before they can develop they have turning into a slanging match. It takes a well respected contributor to put their foot down. Well done Ab Shrimp.


If it Units us all a bit more that we currenlty are then it was worth writting mate

“Where would you suggest then…I am up for it” this was directed at another poster for asking him not to direct personal insults on the boards……blatantly offering him to meet for a fight. What the F**K is that all about?????

Yeah, I was well scared of TMWLT or whatever his name is!!! wouldn't mind a virtual fight tho, I can't get too badly beaten then:D
 
Worse IMO than plain abuse is rubbish like this
some **** said:
...........if you didn't don't rate Maher then you obviously haven't played football at a decent standard............ but if you don't rate him - then you've (I presume that's you're) a joke..........

??????- What standard have you ever played at??
Who the feck cares on this board who's played at what level at any game!
Who can prove they've played at any level. Do they award caps for the Thundermite under 8 representative games?
Self righteous gits like this should be banned well before those offering people out! At least we can go and watch that.
Why don't people like this set up their own board where only people with an FA qualification or England age group cap, which must be the least of their achievements, can discuss the finer aspects of football away from numpties like me. :finger:

It was easier to get people to calm down a few years ago, because 80% of the posters knew each other anyway.

Bottom line is, arguing on the Internet is like being a Col U fan - everyone loses
 
Unfortunately in-fighting is a sad reality of messageboard culture. I'm a bit of a messageboard junkie and post on a wide range of sites. I don't think there's a single one where at one time or another people haven't got personal with fellow posters.
 
It's the armchair football managers who do my head in...

Sack Tilson (two cup finals, two promotions, knocked Man U out of the cup, plays attractive football, one of the brightest management prospects in english football and by his admission still learning his trade?), get rid of Harrold 'cos he's crap (and yet Drewe's a legend?), get rid of Maher 'cos he's crap (regarded as one of the best passers of the ball in the lower leagues), get rid of Flavs 'cos he's crap (voted in the top 50 footballers outside of the prem 2 seasons ago?), get rid of Barrett 'cos he's crap (PFA player of the year when we got promoted out of lge2, we rejected a Col U bid of 250k for him, can't be that bad), get rid of JCR 'cos he can't cross (sold to Barnsley for 250k - btw that's the second biggest transfer fee we've received in over 10 years), get rid of...anybody who has a bad couple games, really.

We all know the defense isn't working as a unit but FFS we got hammered last season and 4 league games into this season we're still finding our feet. And if you think we're crap, somebody find a youtube video of us playing in the late 90's and then you'll see what a crap team REALLY is...

I don't know anyone from the zone in person. Probably best, it's all too easy to form an opinion of someone from how they look or speak without listening to what they are actually saying.:minger:
Perhaps it was easier a few years ago because we were doing better on the pitch!
