I can recommend Man v Fat Football if you're trying to lose weight. You get allocated teams, weigh before each match and your weighloss goes towards your teams on-pitch score. The price is similar to slimming world I think so its not cheap. The swansea league seems to be run well so there's a waiting list. Each match has a ref and there can be a wide range of skill levels. Have to have an unfit BMI to join.
Yes exactly. Spell the word correctly and if the swear filter lets it through then it's fine. So basically don't use any form of the F or C words, and that includes accented characters, but the other words are "okay" provided you're not being offensive (see our terms about treating others with respect).
Perhaps take a leaf out of Blackadder's book of insults...
I have discussed this in another thread, but to give it a broader response, we created this network after the collapse of the Rivals network. I had worked with a number of other sites and they came along and joined us, as did Phil some time later. I'm an Ipswich fan. We have big plans for the network which obviously include a mobile version of the site, catering for more clubs, and then more sports and interests.
You are correct that I'm not a litigation lawyer but we have been running busy football forums for 25 years. In that time we have had solicitors writing to us, and several police forces wanting stuff removed or wanting the particulars of individuals making posts.
So if you want to know what can't be said, basically don't accuse someone of breaking the law unless that person has been convicted of that crime, which I believe was the case on the posts removed although I genuinely don't remember the specifics. On top of that we have our T&Cs which we like to run our sites with: https://www.fansnetwork.co.uk/football/swanseacity/page/terms-and-conditions
One thing I've had to pull up a few people with is swearing. We don't approve. However since we've taken back control over this site it's been pretty good and long may that continue.
Just because Phil is no longer running this site doesn't mean that people can make accusations about him that are of a litigious nature. This site will be moderated and we're more than happy to issue bans if we deem it necessary. However, I have no record of what's been said in the past so you have a clean slate to a degree, but please keep to our terms and conditions and don't post stuff that can get you and us into trouble.
I had a discussion with Phil about whether he and his mods should remain on this site. I didn't think they should but Phil wanted to remain so I mutually agreed to let them with some conditions. Darran immediately broke those conditions so I banned him. Phil's notice about the new site will stay here for 7 days so there's no need to add additional posts, pinned or otherwise.
Just a brief message from us at FansNetwork to wish Phil all the best with his new site. This site will remain open of course, as it's possible to post on all 92 team pages, and we will be moderating it. However we're not expecting it to be busy here, but it would be nice if a few of you stayed behind or post on both.
There's so much material on here it would be a shame to remove it. I know there's much love for Lord_Bony but I'll remove his message from the top of the site in a short while as Phil has also set up the Lord Bony forum on his new site. We'll also be removing the Planet Swans branding too of course.
Phil mentioned that Planet Swans has been here since 2014 but we've known each other way back in Rivals days since 2000. Commerically it is a blow to lose him, but I understand his reasons and ambitions, and we are ambitious for the future too. So all the best Phil, and to Swansea too against Bristol City and Reading, from an Ipswich fan.
Indeed. The Opera VPN and its various IP addresses are well known and many sites will block those that use it. I too use ExpressVPN when needed but isn't free.
What are your predictions for the match against Charlton?
Predict the score and first BFC scorer (if any) and get points depending on your accuracy. 1 point if you get BFC win/draw/loss correctly, 2 points if you get the scorer right, and 3 points if you get the score spot on, plus a bonus of the number of goals scored in the match.
It's just a bit of fun, but log your predictions on the following link:
Click their name and there's a link there on the right hand side, or go to your messages and compose. Start typing their name and select the name you want.
As it happens, FansNetwork does have developers and we're rewriting the site from top to bottom. Unlike other sites, we're not just a forum but have news stories, Reuters images, chatroom, prediction league, blogs, fixtures, results, player ratings, team selectors, league tables and many new things in the pipeline. First and foremost is a responsive site and I accept we're behind on that score. We're deep in the redevelopment of this site otherwise we'd have recruited a new editor.
As it happens, one of our developers lives in Thornton, if that makes a difference to anyone.
