We can't allow the trolls to dominate the tone and life of this forum. Tell me who they are and I will summon the Rhodesian. He resolves issues. Agreed. Nobody should have to accept personal abuse on here, and I find Sword65's posts a breath of fresh air compared to some of the petty, pedantic squabbling that goes on, but equally, repeatedly referring to gay people as 'woofters', and Welsh people as 'sheepshaggers' sits awkwardly with me. We're supposed to be an inclusive club, and language like that wouldn't make me (not that it matters, but a straight English dude) want to visit for the first time if I'd just moved here. Not excusing his abusers for a second, but if you express unpalatable views, you can't be too surprised if you get an unpalatable response.

Point taken I will be good from now on👹 Ooh, don't be good, that's no fun, I personally think (and it's just my opinion, which is worth the square root of sod all) that we all need to give half a moment's consideration as to how we come across as our brilliant club's brilliant (for the most part) ambassadors when posting on a public forum that might influence somebody's decision whether to go to a first game or not. I get the feeling we're of a similar vintage, and both received the head-teacher's lecture about representing the school while we're wearing the uniform... 😄

I was expelled after 41 minutes and my dad beat the crap out of me having spent so much on uniform for nothing.

That is a fake post. Sounds like the words of someone else.

Yeah, sorry. The combination of me, technology and a frankly outrageous amount of cider made a mess of editing the quotey doo-dah...

Can this forum not just have a royal rumble? Would separate the men from the boys. Dibs on stone cold Steve Austin’s entrance and smacking someone with a steel chair before smashing two beer cans together.

thank you for sharing and not just disappearing, it can be hard dealing with responses of others as we aren't all as thick skinned as some or know what others mean, if they are joking or being serious with abuse. I will now not come on for a while as don't want to see if this is ignored, liked or responded to as can't cope with any of them because of my illness. I did try joining in but got told by someone that they were right and I shouldn't respond as they had the right to the final say. Sure they didn't mean anything by it but to me that is enough for me to run and hide which is why I now just do the music thingy and being told off in that was ok as was just letting me know the rules.
I hope you do continue to post and if you went to the tech you must be older than me but as at 13 not a lot as was Maidstone School for Boys when I went

Mr Badge sir please do not abandon us I am sure you have some wonderful contributions to add to the board and if I can find the will to continue then so can you. Take care and take a break if you need too but don't run away and hide like I was going to cos then the only person who really loses is you.
