Don't completely ignore leftback

Recommended Posts

I certainly think someone who runs this forum should be telling us why this leftback has been suddenly banned. This forum is a fans forum and should not be dictated too by the club. Independence must be its core of credilbilty.

Not sure of the exact reason myself, but this should give you some idea.

I agree - banning such an informative poster just further undermines the value of this forum. I can't imagine why anyone pays to post here anymore. As far as I can see all of his old posts are still up.

 

Some airy-fairy comment about libel doesn't ring true to me. Surely if he made a post that Baj or Steve didn't like this evening it could have been deleted and a gentle warning issued. It looks like a sledgehammer has been used to crack a nut.

No, I do not know why he was banned, but if I had to take a guess that would be my very first thought.

 

Fair enough.

 

Always found you to be pretty fair, so i am not going to start questioning you.

 

That would also be my thought TBF. And although i have pretty strong opinions that i defend, i don't get the whole people being banned malarky.

 

Still, leftie was a bit of a bellend.

Typical oblique bull-sack from all concerned. Grow some you feeble gimpaloids.

 

If it were up to me the reason for his banning would already have been posted (see my "member departures" thread in the suggestions forum). Unfortunately that never put into practice as it wasn't agreed upon by all the mods/admin.

Can someone tell me who the lawyers on here are then? Either that or the reason he was banned? Yes he had a huge chip on his shoulder about NC but to ban him? Just a bit harsh (without knowing the facts) it would seem.

im glad he is banned...why does the world need to know the team sheet days before the game...or what player has the hump which fuels the loons hysteria

 

I don't agree Delldays. The main reason I visit this site regularly is that occasionally, very occasionally, you get a bit of inside information. I had no difficulty in ignoring leftback's anti Cortese bias for the snippets of information he provided. They made a welcome change from what most of us have to offer which is opinions.

I disagree that this is any definition of the function of the forum...I joined in the dark days when it looked as we might fold & was grateful for any information that could be gleaned but inside information on the team & transfer activity were & are a long way from my expectation.

 

I am not 'in the know' in any way shape or form although I did get one piece of information about the missing programme from a friend who works with someone married to one of the coaching staff & passed it on for what it was...I couldn't vouch for it's accuracy, naturally.

 

If one of my employees here where I work was passing on information about my business that could be sensitive for any reason I'd leave my footprint on their a*se as they left....we're supposed to be supporting the club not undermining it & I'm glad that our moderators see it that way - if indeed that is the case.

Because he doesn't have any infractions, and multiple infractions are the things which automatically trigger a one/two/etc week ban.

 

Would appreciate if you could find out if it was something to do with the club or if it was just because Boj thought they were leaving themselves open to legal action.

All of the mods and admin agreed that some of what he was saying was potentially libellous, but i'm not sure what triggered the actual banning.

But it could potentially develop into another NC bashing.............Sigh......Don't you know anything ??

 

TBF, even if it was the club, which i doubt, i wondered how long it would take. I don't know any clubs that would put up with someone posting the team, tactics and any inside trouble on a regular basis.
