TIL 1010 4,718 Posted January 6, 2014 Yesterday we had the Vice Chairman on here makings derogatory remarks about Snakepit regulars and today on Facebook we have another member of their board calling this messageboard the Oink Un. The most popular and well used website concerning our football club and total disrespect being shown. [:@] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YellowNets1901 0 Posted January 6, 2014 To be fair, this site doesn''t cover itself in glory both in terms of posts on the forum and general journalism. Fair comment IMO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted January 6, 2014 The Oink Un! No! You''re kinding? That''s scandulous! Who do I complain to? Should I write my MP a letter? Maybe you should grow up and not be so desperate to be offended by nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My opinion so if you don''t agree fair enough BYG. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oink Un is hardly that bad a comment to make and certainly doesn''t warrant a thread about it. I find it hard to believe that anyone would be that upset about it, without really, really trying.

Warren Hill 0 Posted January 6, 2014 Just playing Devil''s but...O is next to P on a keyboard, wouldn''t be the most outrageous typo I''ve ever seen. It''s easy to type shit instead of shot for instance, RVW had two shits on goal has entirely different connotations to those intended...😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldRobert 38 Posted January 6, 2014 Come on Lapps where are you, you''re always having a go at me for the use of the term Oink ''Un elsewhere, so you might as well have a go at the Trust member who has allegedly commited the same ''sin'' as yours truly.[;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lake district canary 4,531 Posted January 6, 2014 The Oink un?? Hadn''t you heard about the name change?   It is to be sponsored by VWwith a new range of items for sale to raise funds     All in the best possible taste!  Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you know, the thing that annoys me is people using the term to deride this site from the safety of other sites as seems to be the case again here today. Most of them post on here and yet I''ve never seen reference to it until now. Belittling our own fans is not right in my eyes and to do it from afar is cowardly.
