Good for you. I wonder if any toon fans have met for a net fight. It happens like, some twat from Watford drove to Gillingham to do this bloke in, who was calling him a fat twat in Yahoo chat, he went doon for 6 month, was in the paper. was he a fat twat though? He was from Watford, those of you who have been to Vicarage Road will know they all have faces bigger than Elton John, so there's a good chance. What's wrong with being in Watford like?? You ever been? We used to have to walk past Arthur Fowler and his greenhouse to get in to the away end, that sums it up really. Considering I've worked in Watford for the past 7 years....... aye, I've been a couple of times!

Wacky do me a favour either pack in or fuck off to your own forum. There's 4/5 of us wanting to make this a success and it doesn't need filling up with shit threads like this. It was explained in the other one, but if it carries on, it'll be an IP ban. NOT because Pud is an admin and I'm siding with him, I'm not - tbh I wished he'd stop fucking replying because it's doing no-one any good. The actions I am taking are in the interests of the forum. I don't want to start banning people but if this shit carries on, it'll be the only option.

Locking this because it's just not conducive to the good of the board. If PMs are being sent and received. Deal with them privately or not at all - don't bring it into the public forum. I know Peter was appalled by the accusation that was made yesterday and quite frankly, I don't blame him. If it was made about my other half, I wouldn't have been half as reserved as he's been. IN SHORT THIS STOPS NOW!!!! NO MORE BOLLOCKS ABOUT WHAT WAS REPORTED IN YESTERDAY'S PRESS OR PRIVATE MATTER TO BE BROUGHT INTO THE PUBLIC AREAS. IF IT'S NOT TO PEOPLE'S TASTES TOUGH!

I thought it was more to do with Woodgate than Albert IIRC. Didn't he say that he was honoured to be able to take over Woody's shirt when he moved to the no.6 shirt (that he never wore)???

To be fair Lindsay, unlike BB, you can do something about making this place less boring. Although tbh, I'm surprised you've made that comment after today's postings...

What you used to me an escort? Is that how you know pud? He's only getting shirty cos he knows he'd get the sack if it were revealed he was a dirty dirty whore fancier! Don't be hard on yourself pud all those lonely nights in that high-rise when there's those 2 down below willing to give you what you can't get for free! I'd find it hard to resist too, you're only human son! A lot is allowed to pass without scrutiny on here, particularly where you're concerned SMO, but I think some of your comments in this thread (particularly in the opening post) are pissing very close to the wind. Ease up a bit.

I have to say I agree with a lot of what Gol is saying. Ritchie and Jimbo keep this place ticking by with regular thread creations. OK, I know others do two but those two start multiple threads in Newcastle chat around the same time which keeps the interest going. As for the technical side of things, well in the early days that was mainly done by me and Gol but with his work situation, he's not been able to afford much time to this place (particularly since he switched jobs a while back) and as a lot of you know, my work has gone nuts since I changed roles 12 months back. More recently (last 12 months) Pud's taken some of the development on and I for one am greatful for that and I'm sure Gol is too. We upgraded this place earlier this month, not because we wanted to, but because we had to. It fell over due to issues with the database size (yes, we're getting too big!) and when we placed a support call, we were told we needed the upgrade to resolve the issues. Sadly it's not a case of uninstalling the old version, installing the new one and everything works around it - all the additional bits need reconfiguration which takes time and needs concentration - something we don't have a lot of at the moment. Something which I think does need to re-iterating is that this is a football forum which had an arcade installed on it - it's not the other way around! If you're here simply for the arcade then really you're at the wrong website and I can forward you in the direction of a gaming forum if that's all you're after. In short the arcade may have been a bit of a shot in the foot - perhaps too many people were playing the games and only posting when their game had finished. Now the games aren't working, maybe they're not coming here at all. The admin are not moaning - they're trying to work out why the place is quiet, fixing the issues set about because of the upgrade, identifying and developing other areas for the site and trying to live their hellish lives at the same time. This is not a rant - it's an explanation.

like to know how I even mentioned him tbh you didn't - but all it would have done would serve to let people rumour even more. Sorry if you don't think I was right in doing so.

Now you know why posts were deleted. It was up to Pud to say something, not others and certainly not a rumour mill which could escalate. So Peter - you gonna do a name and shame on those email addresses or shall we match them up to the registration emails on here (be interesting to see who quickly changes their addresses now )

His loss - shame because put the Pro-Shepherd madness to one side and he was a good person to have posting. Still think it's ridiculous the reasons he's citing for not coming back is because he reckons a thread from 3 years ago on a seperate board was editted even though the logs prove it wasn't. Smacks of him being found out for being a closet Souness fan and not being able to take the flak

I had a grey leather tie (seem to remember it was extremely narrow rather than kipper shaped).

can you bring back the arcade for me so I have something to do when nobody is posting please ??? Aye cos it's a 2 second job... Create me a time machine and I'll fix the arcade

Howay man, at least it's not a white tie!

You wait until you see my bling trainers that come out for the 5-a-side. I'm warning you now, bring your shades man! Today's effort: Black Suit Black Shirt Black Tie Black Boxers Black Socks Black Shoes

Wasn't Viduka #36 when he first went to Boro??

Nah, it's the old fella who used to stand behind the dugout in the Keegan days - can't remember his name or find a photo of him..

Looks like an orange shirt to me you blind twat!

Pimp cup? Doesn't look that bad to be honest, but it's putting the shits up the people at work. I usually wear one of the corporate polo shirts, turning up a suit has lead to suggestions I'm either off for an interview or off to court! Might keep this one going - they're a bunch of nosey bastards!

Dark grey suit Purple shirt Purple & silver tie Black boxers Black socks Black shoes

Think I might have sat next to you at a match. Didn't you buy a ticket off catmag for a game once? I was the handsome bastard on your left. .....sat the other side of the ginger, Erasure-loving freak who went AWOL from Kajagoogoo... Proof of the hair colour tbh...

Well it won't die so even if it ends up being you and me Renton, we'll carry on together. We've invested in upgrading the place so we're not about to pull the plug. Plus, we're aware that there has been a bit of a lull recently so we've been coming up with ideas behind the scenes which will be implemented shortly. Bottom line is for this place to keep 'ticking by', you lot have to keep posting. I'm aware of Gemmill's situation regarding his job and that Alex hasn't been as frequent as he used to be but there are more than 5 regular posters on here. It's likely things will pick up next month IMO and hopefully the feedback after the piss-up weekend should be entertaining...

A bigger mistake than keeping somone on the payroll who doesn't want to be here? I see your point but if a player wants to leave, there's no rational reasoning for keeping him - sell him while he still can get money for him. Course if it's a case of whether I want him to stay.... of course I do.

Just follow everything with either allegedly or a question mark and you'll be alright Gemmill does have a point to be fair - I guess it's OK to allude to something so long as you don't make it too specific. The fact that they've made of point of outlining that the club itself is not the subject of the investigation suggests this may be to do with something that has happened in the past and that points at a possible transfer dealing. That said, the police are involved and therefore it's a criminal investigation so please do be careful what you post. Anything posted which between us the admin feel could put this forum in an awkward position will be deleted without warning.

Take away the sentiment that it's the pub behind the Gallowgate end and it's no real loss tbh - it's a fucking awful place. Wasn't likely to survive long once Shearer's opened either. A bigger loss in the pub stakes had to be The Farmer's Rest when M&S expanded years ago.
