This forum is a complete joke, or maybe I am missing the point.In less than 30 posts I have been accused of being an Aston Villa fan by a self confessed nutter, and now an Everton fan by another very poor amateur sleuth! 

Maybe the main protaganists spend so much time trolling around on other teams sites, that they assume everyone is as sad as them.

It''s obvious that you are a Chelsea fan. Everyone is these days.

Amateurs.

Man up and dry your eyes.It makes me wonder how we actually won two world wars if this is what modern Britain has come to.When Hitler invaded Poland we sorted him out, I didn''t see anyone starting threads whining about it.

You''re too young to remember, morty, but there was severe critcism here of the overly-defensive "fighting them on the edge of our own penalty area" tactics. It was only once we had got in place a proper overseas scouting network and recruited players from the Soviet Untion and the USA that we moved to a more attacking philosophy.

He is right, certain posters ruin it for the rest of us. We need a proper Norwich forum that is actually moderated properly and doesn''t allow trolls.

Morty - ''gentle humourable ribbing'' ?

Wasn''t that Oscar Postorious'' defense?

Another poster who spends his leisure time doing something he dislikes. I wouldn''t bother if I considered this forum a joke. But then I wouldn''t bother going to Carra if it bored me either. Time is precious. Especially leisure time. You only live once.

But you need to use the forum first to find out,unfortunately, it''s less than useful, in fact I was talking to a ST holder about the forum (I know he shouldn''t talk to a plastic like me) and he said he would rather do a jigsaw

Thanks for letting me know about the living once business, but my real name is James Bond!

Yeah, but not until after he''d invaded France, Holland, North Africa etc etc 😉

[Unhinged Canary 375]

Ahh... The River Tiffey! Spent many a day in my youth bantering around it!

Oh, and how many clean sheets did Churchill have EXACTLY??More or less than Hoots!?

[Google Bot 3,935]

Tiffey, if you''re going to pretend you''re from Norfolk at least spell the name of where you''re ''supposedly'' from correctly!

Wymondham?! I guess you mean Windam?

*wink* :)

Well that''s even more interesting. This ST holder would rather do a jigsaw but comes here instead and then talks to you about it while still not doing the jigsaw. On a rating of 1-10 how sad is that?

[/quote]As a matter of fact Poland has been "liberated" by Stalin, whom the Poles hated even more than they hated Hitler. (A traditional Polish joke well illustrates this:  If a Polish soldier was in a positon to shoot a German and a Russian, which would he shoot first? Naturally, the German, because ''najpierw obowiązek, a dopiero potem przyjemność!'' (duty before pleasure).

What we do know is that Fernandez de Kirchner has had SKY Sports installed and is taking careful note of defensive matters prior to another consideration of an invasion.

He tried it once and didn''t like it and who said he wasn''t doing a jigsaw when he was talking to me.

I suggest you start with Cluedo and work your way up to real detective work!

And yet you''re still here. Posting on this forum that you dislike so much. I wonder if perhaps the opposite is true. I wonder if you''d like to take part properly but don''t have the required wherewithal to make that happen..

I know how you you feel Tiffey Boy, its an unwelcoming place when you first arrive, and I think you will find that the majority of new posters take some insults and abuse probably by the time they have made a dozen or so posts, I certainly did......you managed it in less than 30 so I guess above average. BUT, there are some really good posters on here that represent all views....a few extreme, but that''s all part of it.

Just to remind myself I looked up the definition of "Trolling" and like the one below the best, as I think it sums up the small''ish minority on here, well the part I have highlighted does anyway.....

Internet ''trolling'' is the anti-social act of causing of interpersonal conflict and shock-value controversy online. Named for the wicked troll creatures of children''s tales, trolling is purposely sowing hatred, bigotry, racism, misogyny, or just simple bickering between others. Trolls themselves are emotionally-immature users who thrive in any environment where they are allowed to make public comments, like blog sites, news sites, discussion forums, and game chat.

[/quote]Right, hang on a frikken minute, can we all put our Kleenex down for a second.There is a massive difference as to what goes on here (Mostlyreasonably natured ribbing and mickey taking) and what you describe above. Seriously, go and visit a few other forums to use as a yardstick.Would you rather it be sanitised, and we all just pat each other on the back and agree with each others opinions?

[Warren Hill 0]

Well Said Morty. I agree.

What I do find quite strange is how those who have most to say about other posters contribute very little to anything else.
