I hadn’t posted in a week and out of the blue I’m asked by a friend who is a MOD if I am posing as Gasdust, so I haven’t offended anyone recently. I will call some a Banned word if I am disrespected, you lot acted as shithosues talking about me behind my back, proper Offensive and no doubt gloating you had worked out I’m Gasdust in your world who I am not. Thank you Russ for your apology but you only had to PM, any of you and as I said, I am happy to meet up and prove I am not Gasdust, I know he’d partake in proving this. My concern is if you Mods are talking like this, who else are you talking about, this reminds me of the police officers recently sacked for having their own WhatsApp group.
It’s ironic, you lot are getting complaints about aggressive behaviour and trying to police it and then gossiping about individuals, proper Banned word behaviour No gossiping. We have a message group where we discuss activity on the forum and agree how we tackle behaviour which brings down the forum. Ie is poster x acting in an antagonistic or aggressive way, does it warrant a warning or something more severe than that? It’s no more exciting than that I’m afraid. More often than not it’ll be like an example Russ was hinting at whereby an individual came to me concerned that more or less every thread is turning into a Barton debate, on the basis that they’re a bit sick of it and think it’s bringing down the forum. I completely agreed, and took it to the rest of the moderators so we could discuss what we do about it e.g having a single thread or moving the posts to a different part of the forum. We’re still figuring that out. Again, not so exciting I’m afraid to report. I don’t see how we don’t function without a “Banned word” group. Open to suggestions? A "Banned word" group might be interesting. A new section maybe?

I will never understand people who dislike someone so much because of their extreme or so-called unacceptable views, to then revert to ugly name calling the like you would expect of the individual in focus. Some intelligent people letting themselves down massively on this thread. Oh just shut up.😀

And yet Roadman was upset at posters liking each others posts and you've just admitted to doing the same. All getting a bit silly. It’s called sarcasm, mate. Hmm, must have missed that, or we have different definitions of sarcasm. Either way, it's a stupid pointless topic to get upset about.

Time to put the conspiracy theories to rest old chap, Barton's gone, some like some posts, some don't, most on here have never even met so it's not like a playground gang. Reading too much into a Football forum, time to move on. You’ve missed the point. Roadman was accused of being behind my profile because we always like each others posts and have similar views And yet Roadman was upset at posters liking each others posts and you've just admitted to doing the same. All getting a bit silly.

Eric and Peter Hopper both like each others posts, same people. Baggins likes Faustus’s, same people, Hugo also likes Faustus’s post, threesome. Anymore volunteers to check who is liking each others posts, we need to help save the Mods time and effort on this while patrolling the forum like PC Reg Hollis?! Time to put the conspiracy theories to rest old chap, Barton's gone, some like some posts, some don't, most on here have never even met so it's not like a playground gang. Reading too much into a Football forum, time to move on.

Russia agressively puts one foot on a NATO Countries territory, and that'll be the end of them. ...the end of Russia? Unlikely... ...the end of NATO? Increasingly likely... The Ukraine conflict has been the most recent way that Russia has tested NATO, and on all levels their response has failed. Politically there are so many divisions inside NATO that Putin has already achieved what he wanted. Those member states that feel under threat are asking for help and getting little backing. The EU is trying to control their members' response seemingly ignoring the strength of using NATO for that role. Militarily, even though Ukraine is not a member there were actions NATO has avoided (for example not stopping the illegal Russian blockade of Ukraine ports ) NATO has been a strength of the 'West' for decades but it has taken it's eye off the ball - and Russia has finally realised that. Nearly two years into the lastest comflict there is little to nothing NATO is doing well and more worrying than the fact that Russia knows that is that many NATO members know that and they are not fixing it.... Has Russia actually put troops into a NATO Country yet?

"Poland's national security agency has warned an attack on NATO by Russia could come sooner than anticipated. Jacek Siewiera, head of the National Security Bureau, pushed back on a German thinktank's estimate that Russia could directly attack the West in "as little as six to 10 years". "If we want to avoid war, NATO countries on the eastern flank should adopt a shorter, three-year time period to prepare for confrontation," he told the Nasz Dziennik newspaper. Last month, the German Council on Foreign Relations warned Russia could invade a NATO country in six years' time. It said Germany's armed forces needed a "quantum leap" to be prepared for it." news.sky.com/story/ukraine-russia-war-latest-putin-live-updates-sky-news-blog-12541713?postid=6872127#liveblog-bodyRussia agressively puts one foot on a NATO Countries territory, and that'll be the end of them.

Why would I tell you who told me this and why does Faustus like your post? I mean would I really tell you my source?! Because a lot of us might think you're just making stuff up. As for Dr Faustus, he makes his own mind up as to what he likes.

Sorry to break it to you but unless you've invested millions and are on the Board, you have no right to know what's going in at that level. Sorry to break it to you but a football club is the sum of it's supporters and it's supporters will always be the most important thing about any club not the owners. I'm not asking for confidential information or names just a simple update with what the fu*k is going on. Sure the players and mangan would have appreciated that too since they havnt been kept in the loop at all. No owners, no money, no club. Can you not grasp that?

Why wouldn't Mangan, Whealan or anyone else by there?? Unless they have been told the new manager is bringing in his own staff. I am told they were told yesterday they would no longer be required. My guess is, todays new manager has seen a hold up, maybe at one point it was all off and Mangs was contacted again and why no one took training. Now the new manager announced soon, I guess we told Mangs a bit too early. Told by?

If the Bristol Post report that Andy will be taking the press conference at 3.30, you can almost be assured it will in fact be my lady wife fielding questions and at 6.27pm after our tea and before we watch Shetland from last night. The Post has as much integrity as a government minister. The square root of f**k all. Update: my far better half is just having a cuppa and a mince pie and has prepared a statement. "Nothing to see here, so f**k off until tomorrow. Anthony Evans is taking training, along with Sam Finley as they want to represent the Scouse Mafia. That's part of the story. The main reason is the other members of the squad are on the lash in Glasgow celebrating St Andrew's Day and will be getting the first Megabus down to Crewe on Saturday morning. UTFG". 🏴☠️ Mince pie? In November? Have a word.

They aren’t “football people” as far as I can see - they need to realise that an FC is nothing without its fans - lose them and all you’re left with is a piece of land and some mostly aging infrastructure that you’re never going to recoup your investment on . . . Apparently this is perfectly normal and acceptable behaviour by football club owners and we don't have a right to know anything. 🤷 Sorry to break it to you but unless you've invested millions and are on the Board, you have no right to know what's going in at that level.

Simple way to stop all the speculation……….make a statement and talk to your customers/fans When was the last statement? Again, about what? Something that's private? Something they're dealing with at a Board level?

Sorry, but has Mangan left? Doesn’t sound like it, I’m told he’s all we have got right now to manage the side. So everyone else he had along side him since Barton left has gone?

I’m hearing horror stories, Robinson is talking, thought he had the job, was told it was his “but we just need to persuade the rest of the board” And players turned up today and no one was there to take training. Hargreaves not posted anything from the presser? The players have no idea of who the manager is tomorrow. Sorry, but has Mangan left?

If there's no updates, what do you want them to say? Tell us where in the process they are? Have they interviewed people and decided they’re not the right fit? Are they waiting for other managers to become available? It’s not necessarily what it says, but the fact that it wouldn’t leave us all in the dark. And surely the fact that Mangan doesn’t have a clue what’s happening shows this doesn’t mean it’s just us who they aren’t communicating with? When you’ve got staff who are in the dark about if they’ll have a job next week it’s not a good look especially when that’s being said in a post match presser (by the way that’s not me having a go at Mangan in the slightest). When they gave that interview to BBC Bristol about the stand and plans for the stadium, it was refreshing because they were open about things, just feel like we’ve been left in the dark and people are starting to get sick of it when a statement or two over the 5 weeks would’ve helped even if they didn’t give much away. That's fine, but a lot of what you're asking for is private and confidential. You wouldn't like it if your job interviews were put out for everyone to read? And I'm not sure, as just paying customers, we have a given right to know.
