Half of posts seems to be coming from the same 2/3 people. The amount of people who don't come on here because of it any more is huge.

How do we fix this?

My opinion's do differ from time to time but I look at the wider picture. I know me and Baggio have had our handbags but I think he's alright really. But I look at the Man Utd thread and I just see aload of attention seeking sh*t

The ignore button was needed on here a long time ago.

In regard to attention seeking, I think the same could be said about the countless unfunny puns being used too in a lot of threads.

They get locked for good reason, they then get reopened and the same puns get rolled out. 

It was in relation to the Man City match, in the Man City thread.

You seem to have made a mountain out of a molehill here and completely singled me out as the main perpetrator in all of this.

I think posts like Lukaku's goals don't mean much although he's passed the 20 goal benchmark and other sh*t like Mourinho's been a failure although he's won 3 trophies in 2 seasons scream attention seeking to me.

And those comments have been brought up in many other threads in the ROW section hence why the situation has presented itself - Not just those comments, the reactions have been brought up and so on but I think these are examples which have strongly contributed.

Don't get me wrong I'm no stranger to a different opinion but when it's just utter bullsh*t like that - Bare in mind I'm not even a Man Utd fan - it's like have a word with yourself please.

I'd like to delete the entire section, but I don't think it would go down too well 

TJ himself posts in the Utd thread but does anyone actually take them seriously? They're not malicious and are easily ignored but when you have multiple people trying to act like him it gets very annoying.

So you don't go into the United thread and ask what bus they're parking today or call Mourinho the poison one or ask which attacking player played left back today etc etc etc?

I wasn't actually having a go at you. I just think you're over-zealously negative in the ROI section and people try to copy that. 

You in the Utd thread, I can just laugh at it and move on but when everyone tries to be you, it's annoying.

My "derailment" of threads has come from a Mod having an issue with me throwing up a few of these 

But it's ironic for you to say I derail threads when you consider the bitcoin one

Hold on a second here. Just want to make one thing clear, as one of the people who pulled you up on it, it wasn't because of your 'joke' , which wasn't actually a joke, it was you referencing people having a go at Man C/Pep in other threads and linking it to Bennell. 

It's a whole fcukin cycle of childishness & whataboutery, and it makes for extremely tedious reading. I don't think anyone was actually offended by what you said, if it was that bad, I would have deleted it, but my point, and it still stands, was that you made a comment on a serious subject in order to have a pop at unspecified ''rival'' fans. This utter childishness is what I pulled you on, not the comment, nor the 'joke' which didn't exist in the first place anyway. 

You have since chosen to go with the ''ah everyone is so easily offended these days'' explanation, when nobody is actually offended, they are probably just tired of reading drivel. Like Vidic, I will start deleting rubbish.  Stick to football, not fcukin whataboutery, and you won't go too far wrong. 

In regarding the puns - Does anyone actually get offended by the Connor Sammon thread? I mean like he's not getting any International recognition anytime soon, it's harmless fun. But I understand it if every thread turned into that. 

Imo the Sammon thread should stay as the pun thread, it's not interfering with anything, it's a bit of fun and let it be that thread only

No-one gets offended, but ffs we've read every single Connor Sammon pun a million times over now.

The vast majority of people don't find them funny in the slightest, I think that's the problem. 

Maybe's I'm just easily amused but I find them hilarious 

Nothing better at work than taking a break and finding new posts in the Connor Sammon thread 

I do have a really boring job so it might explain why! 

 

Just on Coynes point about Lukaku at the start of this thread. That's why the ROTW is comical. You are a WUM and an attention seeker if you say Lukaku is a really poor player at a high level of football, just because he has 20 plus goals this season. No discussing it, end of. That's you officially a WUM.  Best shut the forum down, anyone who questions a player with over 20 goals this season is taking the p*ss and baiting people.

Anyhoo, I'll stay out of there. Plenty of other threads to discuss United and other sides in the ROTW section. 

 

A bigger crime on threads here than constant name calling.

Brilliant 

You mean sh*te talk between me and about 10 other forum users this morning? Where in a Man united football thread, I discussed and debated topics such as Mourinhos lack of an attacking system, etc. Where others countered my points? Where basically plenty of others engaged in what I would call football conversation? I did indeed throw a couple of digs at a stalker friend of mine, which there was probably no need for.

Sh*te talk indeed. 

I never once thought it was detrimental to the forum nor did I feel the need to start name calling or crying that the forum was gone to the dogs

 

I simply just argued my point back, as is the point of forums.

 

 

 

And you've just criticised Moleman's "comeback"

 

 

 

 

 

Think you need to get out a bit more Coyne if you find that brilliant and its sending you into fits of laughter.

 

 

 

Aye he's "had me".

 

 

 

Nope.

Did Moleman touch a nerve with his Manchester United comments this morning?

That is the point of forums, I totally agree. Tbh I do really enjoy the chat with most. It's clear that a good few aren't happy with the way it is going though, so I'll step back from that thread for a good while. I won't be staying out though if clear inaccuracies are posted in there aimed at me, as just were by Coyne. Farcical carry on. lads are looking to take shots on here without even reading posts correctly.

This mornings debating was as good as its been on here for months.

 

And then the panty wetters came on to say the forum had gone to the dogs as they'd a few extra posts to read, and Coyne continued with his little obsession of everything me and Pep.

I just love how you've decided to drag me into it cos I laughed at Dinny handing your ass on a plate.

 

You've had a little fetish/obsession with City and Pep for the last year or so now, and subsequently follow me around here like a lapdog trying to pick holes in whatever you can find. Some would find it a bit creepy, but I think you're just incredibly weird, as most of your views expressed on here suggest.

 

 

 

Baggio son. I think you're obsessed with me, but unfortunately for you. I don't swing that way so I suggest you turn to the one who's verbally destroying you right now 

 

Well you did run to comment on a "threads being ruined" thread because someone thinks United aren't very good at football

 

You remind me of Michael from I'm Alan Partridge tbh.

You probably talk a bit like him too

Do you sit at night on your own on YBIG dipping sausages into a cup of beans?

Nah I sit on YBIG laughing at you.

Next.

I don't find it a coincidence that the thread was going all and well last night and soon as he popped up this morning his first contribution was to have a go at Muff which really did set the tone *

And then you have Baggio with his wet underpants going but ahhh hes done nothing wrong, the brown nosing between the pair is sickening like 

* Edit. It was midnight last night but did he really not expect Muff to respond to that? 

 

Irony alert.

 

 

I won't lie to you Coyne, you've a neck like a jockeys b*llox. The amount of utter bluster that comes out of you. Would you care to correct where you called a statement of mine comical? A statement that you made up in your own little world and that I, or anyone else ever made?

Some of the nonsense would really boil your p*ss

You're not exactly innocent either. I saw you with your usual sly digs trying to fish for a response referencing Utd fans having nothing better to do than sing the Will Grigg song, so you're not exactly entirely innocent.

The 2 brownnosers who are bitching they're doing nothing wrong are actually the 2 biggest provokers! That's definitely irony.

 

Well aside from the fact that you've stolen my panty-wetters terms to use yourself, which not only is unoriginal, but its hypocritical as you have wet your pants about a few extra posts that you had to read on the MU thread this morning AND because Moleman made some bad comments to Muff. Boo-hoo.

 

Oh no, I made a joke about rival fans on a football forum. I'm not exactly innocent I agree. Do you think there's any chance I could be arrested?

Moleman has made sly digs constantly and it wasn't just in the MU thread. We've established months ago Mourinho is boring, negative, eye sore etc but he comes in and sticks the knife in further when it's already been done to the death.

There was a post this morning in a separate thread about wouldn't back Utd at 100/1 because they have "zero chance of winning" and bare in mind the fact I'm not even a Man Utd fan my thoughts on that is, what is he trying to achieve with a post which is factually untrue. 

Aslong Utd are in the competition, they can win it, it may a very small chance, but zero chance? A team who's been eliminated has zero chance, because they cant.

Just more negative sh*t the genuine Man Utd fans don't wanna read and I take it from their perspective.

Here's my take on todays stuff.

Both himself and Baggio ruin the United thread for me personally as they comment on every post. You can't have a discussion with anyone else on the thread without either of them sticking their beak in and giving their 2 cents.

 

I posted the video of smallings position last night which had been mentioned by a few posters, on me like a rash. I posted what Roy Keane said, again on me like a rash, I responded to Deco guess who went for me again? There was another comment or two in which I was mentioned in by the same poster until I eventually responded. I called him a troll but low and behold in comes his little buddy to say I was name calling. It's just getting ridiculous at this stage in the United thread. If they win these lads barely weigh in, if they lose or draw it's just a free for all with the same stuff that has been posted by them for months now.

 

My take on it this morning is that 4 or 5 people were discussing football, the match last night, and where United are placed for the rest of the season. Yea Moleman kept on at you a few times to answer a few questions which you refused to, whether that was annoying for you is up to you, but generally I didn't see anything wrong with the debate.

 

I'd also add that people are free to comment on whatever thread's or posts interest them. Sure a bit of interaction is what the forum is all about.

 

 

There were over 100 posts one night in that thread a few weeks ago about whether Siralex and Moleman were the same person, this carried on for a number of days whenever it was very obvious that they weren't and that Siralex was being funny. IMO that ruins threads more than people discussing football.

 

 

There are over 100 posts in the United thread since last night and I'd say 60-70% are from two posters, neither of whom support that team. It's bizarre and when it's called out you retaliate with nonsense about how people are panty wetter's or they're precious or how they're oversensitive... the list goes on and on.

 

No one is saying people shouldn't debate football on a football forum, again that's just you saying that as a tactic to try and deflect away from what's really happening with certain posters trying their best to wind people up and get a reaction.

 

That's all I have to say on the matter. No doubt you'll reply because you can't not reply, it kills you to leave things be.

2. 99% of my posts this morning where reasonable football debate. The only man who had any problem with any of my opinions was Moleman actually, when I said that Jose was over achieving compared to Liverpool and Spurs and that the criticism is a bit much considering they still sit 2nd and are likely to finish there and will probably win the FA Cup.

 

3. I only made one dig about United, when I was called obsessed (for posting in a United thread) and I said about the United fans singing the Will Grigg song after City lost an FA Cup game. A pretty fair retort to make I thought. Sure for years City were called the bitters as the highlights of their season was when United got knocked out of a cup competition. Just pointing out how the tables have turned.

 

4. Its funny how much a mountain out of a molehill its become because some people were discussing last night's game. It seems if you don't like what you are reading around here the natural response is to either attack the poster instead of the post, or else move on to calling them obsessed. There was nothing I wrote this morning that anyone other than Moleman disagreed with. There is absolutely f**k all wrong with the content in the Man United thread in the past 24 hours I would go as far to say.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Must update the current forum rivalries thread as well here.

 

 

But atleast it's keeping it all in 1 thread rather than spread across an entire section of the forum.

Myself and HM/Reildogg were debating Liverpool's style under Benitez United under Mourinho. There wasn't any name calling or anything and everyone was discussing the match/United's place in the table etc etc.  

It'll only go into meltdown if United win something so I'm heading back down into the bunker until next season. 

Yep. Hans will be fuming that the club he allegedly supports wins something and he'll continue to call Mourinho a failure at Utd so what's new.

Plus wan captain.

I've no doubt some posters spend 15/16 hours everyday logged on here.

Was this aimed at Vidic?

I think it needs a thread like this though. All the handbags, you said he said name calling can go in here rather than all the other threads.

Good work gents
