Now you are just being silly, it is plain for everyone to see you threw your toys out of the pram and lost any credibility you had.

It can be as clear as you believe it to be.

It is exactly as a laid it out. If there was a sufficient level of two way respect then the league would be going strong today. There wasn’t, so it isn’t.

It’s something you are quickly going to have to come to terms with I guess. I’m nobodies fool.

Football lasts for ninety plus minutes and to win games you need proper bottle.

We saw that tonight.

Credibility.


Well yes, bottle and some intelligence which seemed to be missing earlier in the season when we conceded several late, late goals.

martin has made adjustments and everrything looks much better now though we re still prone to the odd gaffe, darling made up for his though.

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

I agree, this is all we’re asking. Everyone please stop points scoring or undermining each other or having personal spats. We’re trying to moderate as fairly as we can but we need everyone to be on board. Many other sites would simply ban, no warnings, just gone. Has to be for the millionth, time. It’s not hard.

Nothing can be perfect but it’s a lot better as you say.
Even the best teams make mistakes, Man City v Liverpools winner a prime example. Darling would have been massacred if that was him.

Agreed, but it’s a case of allowing the same things to happen over and over again and expecting different results, John. It’s been noted by many people how toxic it gets on here after wins and I have offered to show you exactly where this begins every time so you can see for yourself instead of taking it from me, but there seems little interest in addressing it, only those that reply to it.

My PMs are always open should you want to explore it privately. Otherwise next time we win, we are going to get the same toxic “you must be gutted”, “you said so and so a few months back”, “not real fans”, “disappear when we win”, “being proven wrong” etc etc and people will react to them in the same way as they have always done, which is perfectly understandable and what they are designed to do - let’s not kid ourselves.

If there is serious appetite to get rid of the bickering on here then you need to clamp down on those instigating posts, even if it risks upsetting the pro Martin brigade. They most certainly should not be encouraged, made stickies, headlines intended to be ambiguous and join in with senseless blaming of those that understandably reply.

I will always respond to those in the exact same way and defending those they are aimed at. Happy for you to criticise me for it too - although would be far more productive to have an open and adult discussion.

Just about to get in the car but I simply ask that of anyone tries to wind you up, do not respond. It just inflames the situation and we will get responses to that back and forth. I’m not going to DM you, I’ve not got time. It takes two to continue and argument.

If you can’t, then take it on DMs with the person who’s responding.

I’m afraid not, I’ll always respond to the trolling aimed at me. Always.

Let’s be fair here, as mod it’s your job to police the original comments designed to provoke those responses not ask people to not respond to them. If you are struggling for time to do justice to the role then maybe the site needs to look for more help, I’m sure there are plenty willing to give it.

We have all seen this very site on Twitter responding to the trolls (quite rightly too and often agree with the stances it takes against the abuse it receives) and do no different to me (although I’m probably politer) - so it’s clear the site knows first hand how it works and asking to ignore the constant and relentless baiting is not a viable and realistic way forward.

I can do no more then. I’ve tried to help you here. The same patterns will remain after the next win and no doubt we will find ourselves having the same discussion afterwards, I will be able to do no more than point you back to this discussion.

John you have my sympathy but I do question myself if you and Keith have patience of saints or just barmy! 😬

You have covered things in every aspect and every angle, when something is as clear as day and you are trying to get a petulant child to accept responsibility and realise their own actions with a constant response of "no, I am right" when clearly they are not, you must feel like knocking your head against a wall.

So what is it John, you a Saint or just barmy?!? 😂

Surely you are going to be even more bored week after week as it keeps happening with the same comments being made?

And it will.

Happy to bookmark this if you like to demonstrate after the next win?

Feel free to point out what you ‘believe’ (used in the loosest possible term) is my fault then, let’s have some specifics.

Happy to take a look and we can discuss it.

I’m guessing none will be forthcoming however considering we are both well aware where the issues originate.
