I can see my position has been made untenable. All the best Gaschat it's been a pleasure. Not sure why I'm replying as it's clear you've already deleted your account. However, just in case you end up reading this as a guest, I just want to point out this was not my intention. I was simply saying that if that is the decision I think he should at least be forced to apologise for the sheer number of people he/she has insulted by insinuating that they are racists. I don't see how that makes your position untenable? It seems I can't have an opinion as a Mod, and still can't have one now, even though I'm no longer one. If anyone's position is untenable, it appears to be mine! To be fair I think a lot of us ought to take responsibility, myself included, for contributing to a very divisive and polarising topic in that we have kept it going. A number of things have been said on both sides of the debate which in my opinion has overstepped the mark. With that in mind, unless I am responding to a direct question, I think this should be my last post on this particular matter.

Perhaps the thread should be locked as the issue happened, we've all had our 2 cents, nothing we can say will undo what he did (so there's only so much point to discussing it) and nothing we post will directly effect anything that happens going forward. I think you're right that this thread is now more trouble than it's worth. Probably best to close it and all move on, having all had ample time to have our say.

Yep, I'm fed up of hearing about it now to be honest. It's come to the point where I don't care about it. Let's move on...

Anyone who's been watching the gas through 80s 90s and further back will know the hatred between rovers and c*ty I've seen as many others have some serious violence.
Anyone who thinks EH was right in what he's done is wrong not only imo has he disrespected BRFC but also put himself at great risk of getting his head kicked in.
He could of gone to watch a football match at Cardiff any other time mid week when we weren't playing.
I won't support him and don't want to see him in the blue and white quarters.

Is there any mods left to lock the thread? I would lock it myself if someone made me a mod.

Ok, quick before they lock it, who shall we slag off next?
How about one of the youth team? They need to get some 1st team experience at some point right?
Kieran Preston. Waster.

Why does the thread need locking at all? Can't we have a rational debate about something that is clearly a topic that splits the views of the fanbase down the middle and is therefore important?
Here's a novel idea - if people post whilst also remembering to show respect and acknowledge that others may not agree with that view then we should be able to manage to discuss any topic at all without the need to bother the poor old mods - who I'm sure don't want to be up all hours reading every single post in case someone has decided to go troppo over a petty little post on an internet forum.
What's embarrassing isn't the fact that the Ellis topic is being discussed, it's the manner in which it's being done!

As has been said above, I think this thread has run it's course. Consider it closed.
