Switching Code........ on 14:17 - Aug 5 with 1803 views | NewBee | Speaking only for myself, I first came on here for Clive's posts - very entertaining reading - but stayed for the banter. And it's refreshing to hear what other fans think, rather than always just debating with people you pretty much agree with anyway. As for the "why don't you post on your own forum?" merchants, it's not an either/or - I imagine Switching and Konk etc also post on Bees and FFC forums - I know I do. Finally, this is a well laid out and moderated forum; I've sometimes looked at others then immediately clicked away, because they're like a cross between a zoo and a madhouse. Anyhow, maybe I'll now cease posting anywhere, seeing as I suddenly hate football... [Post edited 5 Aug 2020 14:36]

Switching Code........ on 14:33 - Aug 5 with 1741 views | eastside_r | Yeah - agree with this. How many threads about a club who are 'definitely not our local rivals'? Bring on the Lionel (Road) Messis next season. (See what I did there.) | | | |

Switching Code........ on 15:28 - Aug 5 with 1652 views | stowmarketrange | They are the ones coming on here to spout their views,so if they’re here,they should be ready to take the abuse too.Especially when they throw it all away like they have done in the last week or two.If not,then feck off and stick to their own sites. I might occasionally scan the board of a team we’re about to play ,or have just played,but I have no interest in contributing to any of them,so I can’t really see why they seem to spend so much time on here. | | | |
Switching Code........ on 15:33 - Aug 5 with 1645 views | Watford_Ranger | Think it comes across as a bit smalltime when there are two match threads and however many others aimed at their team/posters on here. Think they’ve both been quite courteous over the years as far as I can see. Granted the arrogance of Frank has been hugely OTT and in the end counter-productive which I think has made them a bit more dislikeable but as a “local rival” I just don’t get that feeling for them personally. Maybe because I’m not from the area but then I loathe Chelsea. | | | |
Switching Code........ on 15:34 - Aug 5 with 1638 views | francisbowles | What about Leeds? | | | |
Switching Code........ on 15:54 - Aug 5 with 1579 views | stowmarketrange | I don’t dislike them or see them as our rivals.I guess you have to back to the 60’s to find any real animosity from our side.We moved on to have the scum as rivals for best part of 30 years,then we downgraded to Fulham when they started their rise up the leagues.I suppose brentford have started to become something to fuss over in the last few years,but no more than that. | | | |

Switching Code........ on 18:03 - Aug 5 with 1350 views | BlackCrowe | completely agree, the board would be the poorer without Konk and Switching Code. Be good to have a couple more of their ilk. | |

Switching Code........ on 23:08 - Aug 5 with 1212 views | Benny_the_Ball | You're clearly easily pleased. Different doesn't necessarily mean good. Of those you mentioned only Konk adds a useful outside perspective. Tell me, when you felt the pain of the play-off final defeat to Cardiff was your overriding emotion to immediately login to a Brentford fanzine? | | | |
Switching Code........ on 23:25 - Aug 5 with 1178 views | CliveWilsonSaid | Well i'd imagine in most normal circumstances most Brentford fans would have been fighting their way out of Wembley by any means after this match. I mean this thread is called Switching Code...(etc) Surely SC is entitled to post on it? "Of those you mentioned only Konk adds a useful outside perspective." Is that like the law now. Only Konk can post unless Benny says otherwise :) | |

Switching Code........ on 23:25 - Aug 5 with 1177 views | Benny_the_Ball | You're missing the point. The issue is not about whether you should generally stick to your own forum but about last night specifically. Moments after a play-off final defeat rather than discuss the match with fellow Bees, Brentford 'fans' are on this site courting QPR fan reaction. What were you expecting? Bad luck old chum? Better luck next year? I find this behaviour strangely masochistic. EDIT - Shout out to Northolt_Rs! [Post edited 6 Aug 2020 0:05]
