Think the big difference now is social media where you can get instant anonymous tish tosh out there to one and all. Not sure writing letters as we did when I were a lad would facilitate that sort of thing.📮😊 Yeah, I hate to think of the sort of bollocks I would have put on the web if social media had existed when I was 18. I've been saying this for a while, in years gone by we didn't have to hear from the kind of idiots on the belters FB page or some of the more argumentative people on here. If people wanted a moan it was only their close friends/partner/poor sod who stood near them in the ground who had to put up with it.

well it is a football forum and everyone has an opinion. I don't mind the moaning posts as they are just expressing their opinion and they care. it would be a boring place without the heated discussions. Sure but saying "We haven't got the money to pay the bills. The owners want out". Isn't an opinion is it? It's stating something as true on the basis someone said it in the West Enclosure and then pretending that that conversation was less inane than it really was by calling the West Enclosure "the corridors of power". Oh and then the several follow up posts that deny the things in the original post were actually said - those aren't opinions just lies. And then several posts that try and give a withering "Well if you know better" to people who don't believe those lies. Those aren't opinions either. I'm all for opinions ... just not protracted volleys of propaganda which have been being repeated since 2006 by the same person. wow those posts do wind you up ~ maybe ignore them or smoke a giant doobie before you sign in ?

If we do then it's because we choose to.

This Forum is beginning to sound and behave using the tactics that Millwall fans used to employ. For those youngsters who started supporting after the hooligan era, I'll explain. One Millwall fan would assume the attire of a Rovers fan and then get into the Tote End. For about 20 minutes of the match he would act and pretend to be a Gashead. Then, out of the blue, they would start punching and hitting all those around them. The confusion this created made Gasheads start fighting other Gasheads in the ensuing mayhem. So, one solitary idiot caused a major upset. That is what is happening here on this Forum. I suspect a Sh1thead has probably infiltrated us and is constantly spreading stupid rumours about takeovers, the financial concerns about the Al Qadi family, their family rifts etc. etc. NONE of us has any real idea what happens behind the closed doors of a board meeting. Maybe someone connected to the directors is leaking little tit bits every now and then (as with WW2 espionage.....release a few truths to give it credibility and then add loads of lies that you want to spread) but why can't we all just get behind our team. We have probably the best manager in League 1 (and probably the Championship!) We have a team of players who want to play for the Blue and White Quarters and , thankfully, we have a huge following of true Blue fans who get behind the team every week. So, can the moaners and the lie mongerers just give it a rest. You are playing into the hands of the Teds, who know we are coming up on the outside and they are running so scared they will employ any tactic to try to drag us back. When I started viewing this Forum is was useful, interesting, funny and well, everything you want in a fans Forum. Now, however, I log in, see the usual boring (We're doomed!!') topics. The longest I've spent on this Forum recently is now, writing this. Come on, let's get back to issues that are true and positive. Don't give the Teds any ammo to stir things up. Cringe.

They don't wind me up, no. But judging by the OP and other responses they're clearly a divisive issue on this forum. Like you said - people can have their opinions but it's important not to confuse opinions with the continued repetition over ten years of the same lies from the same person and their associates that have been proven to be incorrect time and again.

I do see where you are comming from although freedom of speech and all that ~ mind you, the way the forum is moderated we will all be censored soon ~ ONLY JOKING MODS ~ please don't give me special treatment

I once got chased by 12 or so Millwall fan's in Aldershot during the 70's, it was after the game with the Shot's, we had just won and me and my mates ran to catch the coaches [get on first].
Turned a corner full of joy right into a gang of Millwall fan's - all dressed in butcher coats, white painting trousers and regimental 'doc martin's' - Oh how we laughed - not.
Wish we had stayed with the majority.
