J*B

Anyone with their age set to under 18 was banned from the forum, theoretically there shouldn't be anyone under 18 posting here and if they are, they have lied about their age when signing up. Social media has revolutionised forums, masses of people don't bother using forums because they can use Twitter, which is essentially the same thing. So we follow their rules on what is and isn't allowed. We had a massive backlog of reports for swearing which actually, nobody found offensive, it was just against the rules by default. Again, as per the forum rules, another introduction (well over 6 months ago) is that mods/admin dont have to say nothing anymore. Another issue we found where that mods couldn't engage in any form of debate because it always ended up with chaos. I post in the same language I would use in the pub, at the game, on social media, even at work. If you mod this forum simply as a moderator it's 1) a part time job and 2) not one bit enjoyable.

Not all swearing, some words are still filtered out as they're deemed too fsr. By registering to the forum you confirm you are over 18 and are therefore an adult.

I think Brereton played shite. This is in context, it's used as a adjective. It's allowed at the games, in the pubs and on social media. J*B is a dick. This is personal abuse and faces a warning. You would get asked to leave a pub and banned on other social media for posting it. It's all very clearly set out within the forum rules.

The post which you reported broke no rules. Swearing, in context, is allowed as per the forum rules.

It's not often I've publically backed the club in recent years, however in this situation... Sports broadcasters have bought the rights to show football matches and highlights. Advertisers pay for advertising space before, during and after the matches. Advertisers have put the pressure on sports broadcasters to ensure all vlogs do not show match footage. Why? Because vloggers are monetising their vlogs and selling seperate advertising space on platforms like youtube. Briggsyboy is making money by filming the game and producing his vlogs. While, as an example, barclaycard are paying top whack for each individual person that sees their billboard or advert during the match, or the highlights, much smaller companies are getting the same privileges for much less. Even if ONE person watches the vlog and sees key highlights, that's one person that isn't watching the official broadcasts. This categorically isn't the club going out of their way to stop people filming the game for no reason. It's the club being forced to stop them by the broadcasters or face huge fines.

Right folks, 8 reports in this thread within 24 hours. Every time we all get an email. If you're going to carry on like this we have no other option but to start handing out warnings. We don't like doing it, we would rather not. Please stop.

Talk to me again about this...

Joe Ledley cancelled his contract at Derby yesterday because he wanted to play more. If for the emergence of Travis I would have brought him in for 6 months.

Ignore my earlier post, the window is open!

Is it unpinning time?

I'm with you. I actually don't want Assombalonga, he turned down a premier league move to go to Boro for 5k a week extra. Fuck that attitude.

Bolasie going to Boro as well according to Twitter...

I bloody hate all these loans, it's madness. What happened to the good old fashioned transfer? Pay the bloody money and start a merry go round. Chelsea have signed a striker on loan with "the option to make it permanent for 40m quid". The option? Crazy.

First ever post on the forum. Talk about making a rod for your own back!

Yes. If Madon is keeping quiet I'm finishing this window in style.

I predict... Boro agree to sell Assombalonga due to a deal with Gallagher being confirmed. We all think he's going to sign for us. Premier League team panic buys him on the final day. No Gallagher, No Assombalonga. Happy Days.

There was a journalist that used to post here - Alan Nixon - when he was running a story RE Rovers he would post it here first at 11 o'clock the night before. This was because it was too late for any other papers to steal the story. Thus, the 11 oclocker was born, while we all waited eagerly for him to say either "nothing going" or tell us news which would have been available to us otherwise at 12pm, at 11pm.

Press info instead.

He'll buy everyone on this forum a beer like the other person has generously offered.

Agreed - I really would rather have Gallagher on 15k than Assombalonga on 40k. This club has been through hell and back due to spending too much. Imagine we sign him on 40k and he breaks both his legs!

To be clear, I will hold you to this.

Rashford? Good god, surely a loan? We're going up!

Are you suggesting Middlesborough is more of a cosmopolitan area than Blackburn? I mean, Blackburn isn't great. But Middlesborough really is the pits.

Expecting two signings today...
