Love that shirt. Even the Cambridge blue accent has grown on me (I had expected red). -

Sort of, but given that you have to buy a sky package then bolt Sports onto it really puts me off. Ends up being £80-ish if I’m not mistaken? For just TV and Sports? -
He was a bang average manager. Not great, not bad. Bang average. However, the moment he turned on fans, he should’ve been off. ‘They need to understand that Shearer and Sutton aren’t here anymore’. Fuck off you twat, there are at least two generations of fans that don’t even remember them playing for us (starting with mine).

‘Capable of’ being the key part.

Finneran’s agent is a pal of mine, and he says he tries to emulate Roy Keane in his style of play. Personally think he does a solid impression, he’s hard defensively, but equally capable of bursting forward. I think we’ll be talking about him in a similar vein as we spoke about Jones and now Wharton. Capable of being a generational talent.

Sorry for my reaction last night and earlier today, I get very touchy about this place 😅 Hopefully the following is a bit more measured and might explain (not excuse) my reaction: I also completely agree with gooz’s post, but imo your agreement with it doesn’t really mesh with the part of your original post with which I took umbrage: When asked several times by different members for your suggestions to improve the experience in a different way, you offered nothing but ‘I’ll put a free adblocker on’, which I found to both mean you didn’t want to help the site, nor did you actually mean your original post. It felt to me as if you were antagonising an admin team that works bloody hard, even more so than us mods. I apologise for getting as wound up as I did and replying to you how I did, but my feelings were genuine when I posted, rightly or wrongly. -

Not a lawyer I’d want, without any care for detail or nuance. A state prosecutor in the US, per chance? -

You haven’t ‘given feedback’, you’ve used a minor quibble to actively have a go at people doing what you used to do. That’s what grinds. The facade of ‘it’s just feedback’ doesn’t match the snidey judgement that permeates what you say. IF you don’t believe you’re being snidey, then it’s clear you haven’t actually read any of the initial or subsequent posts on the topic since the ads were first introduced, or you wouldn’t have bothered to start what you did. -

Just as a point of order, could you screenshot these ads for alcohol and cigarettes? They shouldn’t be appearing as far as I’m aware. I’m taking a strong interest as a mod who gives an unhealthy amount of time to help this site run smoothly. I don’t think it’s right that you are dying on this particular hill of slagging off an exceptionally hard-working admin team (I couldn’t physically be arsed to do the work that J*B, Stubbs, and the other techies do) for keeping the site alive in the most cost-efficient (not cheapest), morally sound way possible. I also don’t understand why you think the site has ‘chosen’ to offer subscription for any nefarious purpose, as intimated by the context of your posts. The crux of the matter is: We need to run these ads to survive. If you don’t like them, this is the revenue they generate, so if you can pay for it instead of the ads, you won’t see them. If you can offer a better solution, offer it instead of being high and mighty. -

Why are you being so nasty about this? The nature of the ads is not a decision our team can make, aside from restricting such ads if they are reported to the relevant admin. Without them being reported, we don’t know what ads you’re seeing, as they’re based on YOUR browsing. Insinuating the team has done this deliberately is really quite shitty of you. -

Have you considered doing something helpful and reaching out to the site with a better solution? -

Without that revenue there wouldn’t BE any user experience because there’d be no BRFCS. -

Black and grey version of that could look smart. -
Christmas fixtures are much kinder to us fans this year at least.

But being one of the best midfielders of your generation, and winning a few trophies as a manager too, means you can criticise a player.

Plus a career in engineering…

I’d ban you so hard if J*B and K-Hod weren’t holding me back right now!

I don’t ‘go looking out’ for them either, but I have enough awareness of my surroundings when I’m out walking to know they’re there. -

Eating those in bold are not actually ‘bad for you’ at all, as they can contribute to a balanced diet.
