Forum Rules and Guidelines - Please Read

This is a sports discussion forum but obviously any topic under the sun is allowed. We’re not in the habit of deleting or editing posts but any posts that are outwardly racist will be deleted without apology. That’s a personal thing and if you don’t like it give ex-member Ball Ox a shout and set up a forum with him.

Sometimes genuine banter or discussions are lost on the board because there are obvious wind-up attempts or because the thread veers widly off topic. Obvious wind-ups should be ignored but when there are persistent efforts at repetitive, wind-ups then those posts will be deleted.

Plenty of threads change over the course of the posts and discuss something else entirely to the subject matter. There is no problem with that. Deliberate efforts to move some or all threads to the same topic will be deleted however. If you want to talk about something else then set up your own thread, if it’s interesting then I’m sure you’ll get plenty of replies there too.

If you are setting up a thread then give it a reasonable title. Inflammatory or misleading thread titles may be amended.

If you’ve a problem with any of those rules then let me know here. I’ve better things to be doing then deleting stuff but when the same people are posting the same crap all the time then the forum gets very boring very quickly.

who decides what is a wind up or not? for instance I made a point today on a thread which was misconstrued to be a wind up, if people are overly sensitive then they might misconstrue threads to be wind ups when in fact they are not

this isnt a wind up by the way just a query

The moderators will have to decide that.

My initial post on the Champions League thread today was certainly not intended as a wind-up. It was stated as a fact. Then people throw hissy fits over it. Just because people get wound up over things does not mean that posts are deliberately intended to be wind ups. I think I made a fair point, some people agreed some disagreed, thats what a forum is all about, isn’t it?

very true flano- you made an obsevation , I added to it by giving another example of what you were talking about & 2 hours later this thread appear

This isn’t a reaction to one thread or one post.

Flano I’ve no problem with you posting what you did but I do disagree with it.

Raven posting about the Platini proposals when there was a thread on those already that he ignored is an example. Then the move to the EPL debate is another example. So was bringing up Heysel when talking about Liverpool in the Champions League last year for example. Once is fine - that’s just making a point. Making the same point on every discussion of the topic is just boring and it’s designed to piss people off.

my initial post was in relation to what flano had said , so i cant react to what he had said in case you disagree with it?
who moved to the epl debate?
have i mentioned heysel since the CL last season- if not then its hardly a regular occurance

I for one can’t understand the Celtic shit you come out with. You don’t want to post about Celtic, Bandage does. The easiest way to come over that is to just ignore the Celtic threads/posts. Instead you nitpick at little mistakes and/or hypocritical statements that Bandage makes and end up destroying his threads.

As for this EPL shit, your arguing over an abriviation for fucks sake!!

As for Rocko as a moderator, he lets us away with absolute fucking murder comparing to other boards. I know of one Irish Hobby related board that won’t even allow coarse langauge. boards.ie for example would delete our ticketmaster and Ray Foley threads.

me?

Ben what are you talking about? All change please

Flano your constantly moaning about Celtic! Raven has jumped on the bandwagon of late.

is it a prerequisite to be a Glasgow Celtic fan on this forum?

its just a little childish that people are so sensitive about negative remarks about glasgow celtic- flango slags Rovers constantly here & I slag Boez constantly- we dont have sand in our vaginas about it though

I’ve no intrest in Celtic.

Big difference between geniune slagging and destroying threads.

Ben you have no interest in football at all so you wouldnt have a problem with a general football thread being treated as a Celtic discussion thread. I know for a fact you don’t even bother looking at football related threads.

Note to Flano:

The thread in question is called ‘Champions League Matchday Six’. Last time I checked Celtic were playing a fixture on that day so logically enough Celtic supporters discussed the Celtic game. I have no intention of previewing Sporting Lisbon and Dynamo Kiev but feel free to do so yourself and nobody will complain about it as that game’s also part of Matchday Six. In the meantime you might stop whingeing when Celtic are being discussed on a thread related to a competition they’re taking part in because it’s getting tiresome, boring and you’re obviously doing it purposefully to be disruptive and to sabotage the threads in question. As I said, feel free to fanny about in the threads that you’ve started yourself but please stop intentionally ruining the threads where Celtic are being debated.

Can you not see my point at all Bandage? I honestly wasn’t trying to “sabotage” the thread. If the thread was called “AC Milan v Celtic Champions league Matchday 6” I wouldnt have gone near it.

I explained why I said what I said numerous times.

the Rock had no problem with it so we are getting mixed signals here

Querying it once was relevant but unnecessary. Then it was answered. No need to keep dragging it up which is what causes all the issues. Celtic are being discussed on that thread because it’s relevant. Nobody else had a problem with it.

In summary - asking the question was boring but relevant. Whining and moaning about it was just nonsense.

its a tough one- he made the original point , then he was challeneged on it & then he responded, cant blame him for that in fairness
