Just visited the new forum out of curiosity. Only 6 of the top 20 threads are football related. In other words 70% of threads cover: Oti Cancer Death Illegal immigration COVID Climate change Homophobia Other non-football/Town crud What a bunch of anxious, angry, irrelevant wasters. Good luck to them. Thank goodness we’ll now be spared their crap and we can all focus on supporting and discussing our beloved football club. UTT What gives you the right to label people anxious,angry,irrelevant wasters? i take offence to that as I have contributed to both forums which both offer a different view,i dont get involved with most threads tbf,also on the other board you may notice it's headed General discussion not Town talk There’s a whole thread on taking offence over on that forum, so stop feigning offence here and bog off over there with the rest of your faux offendees. |

Only if those posters aren’t primarily interested in discussing football, rather they’re playing silly beggars and causing a rumpus on non-Town matters, on ego trips, etc. I’ve been watching Town for 5 decades and I joined this forum to discuss our team, not some other stuff for which there are thousands of other forums out there. |

You ‘Jonny come-latelies’ sicken me! ;-) I still remember the halcyon days of Geoff running the board on the old Rivals network. 1998 I signed up. 23 years, man and boy. Back then it was all rumours about Dean Windass signing and the optimism of the Rubery Revolution. |

Possibly the debate about Oti getting banned is now just about run its course , however the the "politics and current affairs " platform seems to have stagnated since the wicked "Flashman" has been expelled , he could certainly stir things up, but also stimulate debate , I personally miss him, although not agreeing with most of his opinions. Considering his health issues , I honestly believe it would be a decent gesture to reinstate the man to the forum , maybe he could issue an apology to the members he has upset with his comments. I am not in any way trying to bash the admins, but surely the forum could show some compassion to a seriously ill man. |

Given the way he's posted about this "in the other place" he clearly feels no need to apologise or even accept why people may have been offended. He's doubled down on his doubling down, so no apology would ever be forthcoming. So it's all moot anyway. |

After all, all I did was to respond to your pointed remark of "Seems to be the new Datm way posters, telling other posters to leave the forum".
I was merely highlighting that although some of us are fairly recent here, it doesnt mean that we're newbies or fickle supporters, not long-standing and battle-hardened Town fans.
Personally I'm here for the football discussions, not to read the ego trips of a few saddos with apparently empty lives, or are here on a mission to cause discord for their own perverse reasons and apparent satisfaction.

He's evidently thriving on the new forum, he's firing on all cylinders, no holds barred, 70% of his venting being non-football related, rather about illegal immigrants and other miscellaneous topics zero to do with our beloved football club.
He's got his stage over there, all his followers can go over and read his ramblings, no need to bring it all back here and cause further discord. |

I'm sure I won't be the only one who thought at times he was a parody act. But since going over there its clear now that he was watering down his output on datm. In Spinal Tap terms he's cranking it up to 11 .

Have you had a word with the boys at "down with down at the mac" about drawing lines under things? They seem to be struggling to get over the pain of it all . It's all a bit "les Dennis when Amanda Holden dumped him " |

Who's drawn a line under anything? Not me. I'm loving your board . Current favourite being your little green man thread ... something to read in between Alan Partridge books |

As you well know, there was a line drawing thread on here which mysteriously vanished.
Possibly as a result of alien activity.
