thedarkside 0 Posted August 1, 2018 Although a Norwich supporter I work in an Ipswich office full of Ipswich supporters, as I result I keep an eye on both forums. I notice that the odd couple of Norwich ''trolls'' on the TWTD forum only post occasionally and in a far less confrontational manner than the Ipswich ''trolls'' who post on our forum board. Is it because they have nothing better to do, or because they love the idea of being anonymous? I find it very odd that these trolls exist - banter and observations can be quite amusing or even educational but simply posting stupid comments shows a pretty low mentality in my view.

STFU 0 Posted August 1, 2018 They are annoying, no doubt. But then so are the ones who insist on being permanently optimistic in defiance of all logic.

king canary 6,448 Posted August 1, 2018 @TilFor all of City1st''s many faults (and the list is long) he at least does want to discuss the football.

dylanisabaddog 3,515 Posted August 1, 2018 I regularly look at the forums of teams we are about to play and often look at TWTD. Sadly, the level of debate on the Pink Un is probably the lowest I have come across. There seem to be some very angry people out there!I''m particularly surprised about the venom that is hurled towards anyone who dares to criticise Farke.

Diane 496 Posted August 1, 2018 I cant speak for Derby or Vince but have met Waveney & he''s ok & a big ncfc fan who misses hardly any away games, so assume he just does it to wind u all up lolAs for name changing assume when we move to the Invision boards in a few weeks, it will be stopped as on these modern boards you can just tick a box in the Admin Control Panel which stops people changing user names without permission, do City 1st choose one u like soon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgncfc 1,136 Posted August 1, 2018 Of course it might just be that whilst we are all Norwich supporters, we want different things from the team. Some people just want to win; some want to be entertained; some like to be included in the "club"; some want to just hate 1p5wich....My perfect season would be to win the Champs with 100 points playing superb football but then not be allowed to be promoted into the poisonous PL for some rule breach. Yes, I know that''s ridiculous but I love the rebuilding journeys - just don''t like it when we arrive! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could have left out the quoted bit and made your point, instead you choose to retaliate and thereby increase antagonism unnecessarily. We get it, you don''t like some of the posters on here (or at least how/what they post), but you don''t need to attack all the time, it''s getting worse than when Morty was here...
