I bet he was - might have made him look half decent.... 59732[/snapback] Unfortunately for us he means on the pitch.

"Crowd favourite" Shola tends to disprove that. 59568[/snapback] Yes, but Shola's black. 59597[/snapback] So glad you said that before I did Come on Neil, you've been called out in two different threads now, show your face. 59638[/snapback] For the last time.......who the fuck is Neil??!! 59692[/snapback] You've never asked me though have you Samantha Neil was a poster on Newcastle-online who got banned about 40 times. Came back as Bez and Scoreboard (I think). He then signed up on here as "not_a_racist" purely to tell us that we are all racists on here. Hated Leazesmag and HTL IIRC. 59751[/snapback] Neil hates everybody, did you not read the drunken tiraded that got him banned the first time? Absolute classic, better than the vitriol pumped out by the Souness shaggers against Bellamy.

Thank you, Neil. 59066[/snapback] Eh? You lost me there, samantha. 59071[/snapback] At least the penny has finally dropped and he knows who Sammy is! 59073[/snapback] The penny didn't have to drop, I had no idea that this manc mag thing was sammy until someone posted who sammy was. Once I'd read that post, I knew. Now to help out, I've typed that bit really, really slowly just to help you understand.

Thank you, Neil. 59066[/snapback] Eh? You lost me there, samantha. 59071[/snapback] You need to read the previous posts. Something which you never bothered doing last night either! We were speculating about the identity of the elusive 'Neil'. You and sammynb both referred to him. But we dont know who he is? 59074[/snapback] Been away, so it's catch up time. 2 things. I read the previous posts, but I don't read every thread, I have other things to do, seemingly you don't. That means you should get a life. The other thing is that I had no idea you were speculating about the identity of Neil, I also didn't make any reference to him. I also don't think he'd be hard to spot anyway, given his obsession with nobs. Perhaps you aren't as bright as you like to believe.

Thank you, Neil. 59066[/snapback] Eh? You lost me there, samantha.

Flawed argument tbh. Are you suggesting that because a player doesn't settle at another club, so doesn't play well, that he must have been shite for his previous club?

Good that you finally realised Souness has put together a shite squad, from 5th plus £50m. Pass the message on.

13 pages. You should all be offering your thanks by the way, I'm certain I taught you all how to spell clique.

Glad we can agree. 58682[/snapback] Interesting that you ignore the part of the post which goes against which you said like. Becoming a habit that. 58687[/snapback] You'll need to put that in slightly clearer English to help me out. I don't quite get it. What I do get is that you didn't get it was an attempt at banter. Oops, I forgot. Banter can only be banter if it's from a member of the clique. 58695[/snapback] OK, let's go back to the start. You're under the impression that I somehow agreed with the original poster, and have since condemned HTT? True? 58699[/snapback] How do I know? I don't read posts.

I'm making no comments on this whatsoever, and that's not just to disprove the above theory. TBH I'm totally sick of the whole thing. Comments are made about other websites, it's a fact of life - as I have said before, if you're going to run a website/forum, you've got to accept that you're going to get criticism, no matter how much you don't like it. People don't like N-O - so what? People don't like Toontastic - so what?? Neither place will die as both will retain a core member base. As was said from the outset, Toontastic was never intended to be a competitor to Newcastle-Online, it was designed to offer the people who missed what they enjoyed about the original Toontastic/Toon-Chat the opportunity to enjoy it again. That included to some degree a cliquey-ness so I don't think that can be seen as a criticism of the site. I tend to look at it as 'job done'. Sure I'd like to see it a little bit busier but beggars can't be choosers. If one day it does die, I'll accept it and move on to something new - I've learned things out of doing it so I won't be slitting my wrists. It won't die though 58685[/snapback] Good post actually. But how do new members become part of the clique? At some point you surely must want to attract some new members? 58693[/snapback] You say that as though I don't normally make good posts! We do get new members, all the time and a fair few of them post - there's no membership to a clique. TBH, I'd say that I wasn't part of it and more on the periphery. Doesn't stop me posting though, nor does it make me feel like I shouldn't post but then again, I tend to rise above that kind of bullshit. 58697[/snapback] Paranoid, or what? Banter again, bollocks. I've got to stop that because I know you lot don't get it.

I just thought you might have the capacity to see sense. Obviously not. I can't be arsed with this either, I've got the dogs to take out for a walk. BTW I also think you're a last word freak.

Well you're wrong (again). Becoming a habit, that. 58678[/snapback] But surely anything I say which disagrees with you is automatically wrong, in your opinion like? One thing though, you amuse me 58683[/snapback] Methinks you're running out of things to post and so are now trying the childish 'wind up' personal tack. That's pretty sloppy, very transparent, and also ever so slightly surprising. I thought you'd be able to do better than that, this tack being something I'd expect from a few others. Anyway, to the point. Unless you believe that people deliberately post opinions they know to be wrong, I'd say that everybody who posts an opinion on here believes they are correct. The difference is the ability to admit when you're wrong, and to realise that you may be wrong in any case. Both apply to me, but not to you. When I post, I know I may be wrong. In fact, I may be wrong about Luque, as I don't have 150 family members and mates who support his previous club like someone does. You can't be wrong on that one, can you?

What I'm getting at is that instead of worrying about whether HTT takes any pleasure in the idea this forum may not last, you should be directing your comment toward the person who started this daft thread. And also toward those who chipped in and followed up by slagging off people on another forum. It's a bit daft, don't you think? Don't you agree that this is what is petty minded? 58655[/snapback] We just differ in what we find entertaining I think. When someone makes a tongue in cheek comment about the quality of another poster/message board, as long as its amusing then I'll have a laugh. Although this forum is cliquey (I've admitted as much) I also think its very self-deprecating, and I think that is healthy. Thats the sort of humour that appeals to me-I can laugh at myself basically and I dont mind other people having a laugh at me either. I know that also applies to a lot of the people who HTT is branding snobby and arrogant etc etc. What i'm saying is HTT's responses smack of someone who cant laugh at himself. Which is simply exacerbated by the fact that he takes any observations about N-O way too personally. 58667[/snapback] I don't believe the comment was "tongue in cheek". Or the replies. 58676[/snapback] I don't imagine I'm going to persuade you otherwise either so I wont bother trying mate. 58681[/snapback] No difference with me trying to persuade you that you're wrong about HTT, is there? Read what Dan said a couple of posts up. I've been reading stuff from HTT for a few years now and I don't think he's be smug about this forum failing. Just my opinion.

Glad we can agree.

Well you're wrong (again). Becoming a habit, that.

By the tone of that anyone would think that HTT started the thread slagging off Toontastic. 58634[/snapback] To be honest Sammy was responding to what HTT said in his many essay like posts on this thread. That's how I see it anyway. 58638[/snapback] To be fair, I think HTT's 'essay' type posts were prompted by some people slagging his forum. I think you're getting a bit confused about the sequence of events here. Who's Sammy? 58647[/snapback] You misunderstand. HTT's response (smugly revelling in how toontastic will die because it's cliquey/snobby etc etc) has no relevance to an opinion expressed about the quality of the N-O forum (ie about it being unmitigated shite). The quality/type/nature of posts on here have absolutely no relevance to critical observations made about the standard of the N-O forum. I'm Sammy by the way. 58651[/snapback] Ah! Does everybody know? Anyway, I think you're wrong on a couple of things. First, I don't see any sign of HTT appearing smug. That's your imagination imo. Second, Your position on the relevance or otherwise of HTT's comments about this forum, comments that were posted in response to uncalled for criticism of his forum, makes no sense to me. You appear to believe it's fine for people on here to slag his forum, but then you become defensive when he responds with critical comment about this forum. Why is that kind of response not relevant? Put yourself in his position, his forum has been slagged, what do you expect him to post assuming you accept he has a right to post? Are you expecting him to sing the praises of this forum? 58663[/snapback] He's slagged my forum though, so it's OK by you if I respond, no? 58665[/snapback] What are you asking me for? Never said it wasn't ok, did I? Or are you going to show me where I did say that? What I'm saying is, get the order right and stop laying all the blame for these criticisms on one bloke. It all began with the slagging of the NO forum, not the other way around. What do you expect someone to reply with? BTW Despite the cliques, I think this forum is better than NO, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go around slagging the thing, or people who post on it.

Reincarnation! I buried you in my back garden when you failed to come out of hibernation a couple of years ago.

Who's Sammy? 58656[/snapback] Then I would suggest that it is indeed you, who is confused. Thanks. Sammy has already told you who he is. If you actually took time to read what other people type, you would have noticed that. 58660[/snapback] Confused? By people on here? Ho ho. Anyway, sounds like you're getting a bit touchy, pet? Quite a cutting remark there, if I may say so. I'm absolutely gutted that you think I don't read posts. Ooops! Never crossed your mind that I was writing something and hadn't got to that one yet from your mate?????
