Trolls don’t want to discuss anything, their aim is to get a rise out of someone. Wannabe experts think they know everything and don’t want to listen. That’s more of a Dunning-Kruger effect.
Best not to conflate trolls with gobshites.

We must not forget this lyric comes to the fore in discussions…
“…and the Johnnie Walker wisdom running high..”
Never argue with a drunk is a well known phrase… Hard to judge immediately if that person is at the end of a keypad on the other side of the world, but it is worth considering before getting into a full blown arguement with some…

Yes, plenty of contrasting views and opinions about what’s going wrong with the team right now but, unless someone here has specialist insider knowledge, a finger on the pulse of the club, then that’s all they really are, isn’t it? Just opinions.
I say X, someone else says Y and another says Z, but everyone’s thoughts are valid and people should be able to express them without others making them feel as though they know next to nothing or spoken to in a condescending manner.

My favourite variation is:
Never play chess with a pigeon. The pigeon just knocks all the pieces over. Then shits all over the board. Then struts around like it won.

i do have a question and request
its regarding @mattyhurst
i dont think hes overly offended so i apologise if this is too forward, but some of the references to his sexuality seem very child like and at best condescending
every so often the mention of ‘balls’ or some other child like double entendre gets raised around him… seemed he was happy to laugh along with the Dom Sobz crush, but since then, every so often, it rears its head and its at best tedious to read…at best.
before anyone references ‘taking the fun out of everything’…its not fun, or funny.
so is it just me, or have others noticed it, and @mattyhurst would you prefer it stops?

I’ve had a lot worse abuse than anything said on here to be fair. But thank you for checking in.

no worries.
just because youve had worse doesnt mean you cant take issue with what appears like a bit of ‘lighthearted fun’
TBH i dont think anyone here means anything in anyother way than a bit of friendly chat… doesnt mean you have to tolerate it.
it was more of a question than a statement, but id imagine the guys that run the site would be very dissappointed if it was affecting you or anyone else by association.
i dont think the mods need to ‘come down heavily’ on anything, just a little herding in the correct direction.

If it did I would raise it to be honest, I did before when a comment was made, that person I don’t believe lasted long.

I wasn’t sure where to put this, I think maybe this is the best place…
Having reflected on this shitshow over the past day and a bit, when it comes to football I hope we can all be a little bit kinder to one another (myself included!!). Some posters I really respect hold starkly different views on this to mine, some are at one another’s throats…emotions are running high, the consequence of an incredibly disappointing few months. It goes without saying that opposing views can both be true, I hope we can all accept there is blame everywhere here.
But srsly…the shit times won’t last, they never do.

I like to see balanced arguments, at least thought goes into it.
The ones that I can’t help but bite with are the ones that are theatrical in their posts with one or two sentences, sack him, drop him, he’s shit etc and they seem to genuinley want us to lose or someone to fuck up so it proves a point of view.

Totally fair.
I am talking about the tone of the debate more than anything…us flinging shit at one another means we are no better than the beasts (see Manchester Yanited).
