ABC (A Basingstoke Canary) 26 Posted August 22, 2013 [quote user="Ray"] Hi ABC, Thank you. Peals of laughter, not so much, given the original topic, a young man who started the season so well and having it ended so abruptly, but satisfaction in knowing, or hoping, perhaps forlornly, that some lessons have been learned!!One can but hope![/quote] Thanks Ray You''re absolutely right - the actual content regarding EB is horrific. My observations were aimed at some of the responses people were making without even giving them the benefit of the doubt. If someone doesn''t believe the information, either keep quiet or politley ask for further verification. This very obviously wasn''t happening in this case! With regards to apologies - I did see on another thread (page 65 of the Quagliarella one) that Morison''s Prozac acknowledged getting shot down in flames for his responses on this thread.......

Whittaker Martin Bassong Olsson/Garrido Snoddy Howson Johnson Redmond Fer RvW[/quote]I''d make this team about right............and even in the absence of Bennett and Hooper, a bench with Elmander,Hoolahan and possibly Pilkington still provides us with more altertatives than we had vs Everton.

I feel he was going to be a key member of the squad for this season and would feature in the team a lot. However, the team for Saturday I would agree with the above, except I think Turner will stay in with Bassong being given a little longer to recover. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TIL 1010 4,738 Posted August 22, 2013 [quote user="Vanwink"]Love the way Tilly bumped it, just to add some crimson to the red face.[/quote]Now then Winky stop being an idiot as my first post stated "where did this news come from ?" as the OP gave the news about this injury coupled to the other news about Snoddy back running and Almander here for a medical.Those two facts had been documented in other threads but this Benno news was completely out of the blue and Colin Teapot just gave it a passing mention. He did not reply hence me bumping it. I was curious and concerned and fair play to Mr.Teapot for being correct but why he did not put any meat on the bones is a matter for him. As for the crimson red face over my posts I hardly think so but carry on with your agenda.Anyway on topic this is a bitter blow for both Benno and the fans.

hogesar 9,658 Posted August 22, 2013 Gutted for Benno who looked like he''d worked really hard pre-season and played well against Everton.Well done Teapot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,231 Posted August 22, 2013 Really sad news on Benno, was hoping this wasn''t true. It''s also a shame Hooper isn''t ready for Hull.Bad injury news aside, this thread sums this board up nowadays for me. Thank you to the op for bothering to post, I''m sure their are plenty that appreciated it even though the news wasn''t what we wanted to hear. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alex Moss 2,165 Posted August 22, 2013 To be fair to Tilly he didn''t shoot Colin Teapot down, he just politely asked where the info came from - nowt wrong with that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Monty13 2,231 Posted August 22, 2013 I don''t want to get embroiled in the who said what arguments, don''t care, but isn''t it kind of pointless asking people with actual information what their source is? They or their source will inevitably be in the cr@p if they tell you. You either choose to believe them or not, but no one with credible information is going to tell you where it originated from on a public message board or pm a stranger.

No harm in asking, but if it''s genuine it''ll rarely be revealed. When I worked in the music industry, a favourite trick used by bands when checking out ''new friends or employees'' was to feed them total nonsense and see if the story ended up in the public domain I.e message boards etc. If so, they didn''t remain an employee or within the ''inner circle'' for long... Just a word of warning to those that have NCFC connections and let out the odd cat in the bag... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The thread was started by somebody passing on some disturbing news which was subsequently hijacked by a "mob attack". Your understandstanding of the English language is tempered by your wilful disregard of the salient points made. Furthermore, the superiority you refer to actually applies to those who applied the "very mild" questioning. Whilst I don''t judge posters on their "posts count", it does look suspiciously like you are one of those applying the "very mild" questioning under another pseudonym - after all, this is your 1st post under this moniker........

super canary 0 Posted August 22, 2013 hands up, i''ll admit i was wrong...i assumed it was another attention seeking thread...i am, however, not sorry i was wrong. speedy recovery benno. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Funky Homosapien 0 Posted August 22, 2013 I can assure you I am not one of the hounders of the original post, although I did assume it to be BS but couldn''t be bothered to call it. I agree that the initial desire to get one up was from the aforementioned posters, and so this thread highlights the superiority complex so abundant on this messageboard. People must remember that ''winning points'' on this messageboard will not buy them a house or find them a wife. Still I don''t wish to be hated before I''ve even started so will leave it there. OTBC and best wishes to EB and his recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ok but I not not agree ABC as I think the OP was aware that such a flippant remark without any substance to back it up would rattle a few cages especially on here. After all 6-9 months could well be the whole season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
