The Kraken Posted 17 February, 2013 Share Posted 17 February, 2013 Has Ox improved at all since he's been at the Arse ? No. He made a mistake joining them and should have stayed with Saints; everyone knows this. Playing in the Champions League and for the English national side has done his development no good whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Golden Balls Posted 18 February, 2013 Share Posted 18 February, 2013 I have learned: -if one person has an odd opinion (we need a 50k stadium, Kelvin is good enough for England etc) then this will later become a "brigade" who were calling for it and shouting the sensible few down. -if you're embarrassed about being wrong, you should try to cover your shame by later saying you were just making it up to get a bite The points I was going to make, but worded in a better way.

The9 Posted 18 February, 2013 Share Posted 18 February, 2013 Something else I've learned. Putting people on block because you're fed up of their trolling, negativity or deliberately antagonistic tone is fairly pointless, because either someone else quotes them or they comment on threads you're posting on and you wonder if they're replying to you. Also, I have learned that being a "try hard" is apparently some kind of insult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I readily accept I have done this. In fact the reason I flagged it up was because I'd just done it. I am aware you are not big on the use of Ignore as you think it's indicative of an inability to cope with that person's opinions, but I just get bored with having to read the same stuff from the same people. Shockingly, given the stadium capacity arguments, you're not on that list. . FWIW I have 7 people on ignore at the moment. 4 of them are single-joke trollers, one is endlessly confrontational and negative beyond all reason, and two just talk complete garbage all of the time and can't even put together coherent arguments to defend themselves. 6 of them I will never bother checking comments, one I will.

saintbob40 Posted 18 February, 2013 Share Posted 18 February, 2013 Alpha males do not generally frequent message boards and the more you post, the more nerdy you are likely to be in the real world (which is not neccessarily a bad thing provided you realise that). There also appears to be a correlation between the number of posts per day and aggresiveness (possibly linked to impotence, lack of romantic activity generally, henpecked husband syndrome and/or downtrodden employee syndrome, living in a **** boring country (e.g...Austria...)....?)-cue aggresive responses.

Saint Fan CaM Posted 19 February, 2013 Share Posted 19 February, 2013 remember it well. Daisy Dip was somewhere on a scale between "Bang Ring" and "Battle of the Somme" most summer holiday afternoons. Alpine - I am shocked...never would have you down for a Daisy dip kid! I grew up in the 70's in the flower roads and spent many hours playing footie or scrapping in and around Daisy dip. Can't say it was the happiest of times though - thankfully my parents managed to move to a nicer place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
