Hi Admin - just a request for which I assume I'll get hammered.
I go on the "David Wagner" thread every day in a rather pathetic attempt to see if there's any news, or even opinions, about his possible return.
All we've had for a long time is a group of posters trying to show the rest of us how knowledgeable, or funny, they can be about curry or curry houses.There's even some apparent machismo thrown in on occasions.
I'm sure several people find this hilarious but it's bloody frustrating when the rest of us are trying to access the board for football news.
By all means put this subject in "off-topic" or even give it a separate thread but why allow it to mess up a genuine thread ? I know there's no concrete news about our next manager but it does get a bit tiresome having to wade through people's opinions or ego-trips about curry.
Cue the children coming up with curry-related posts.

Cue the children coming up with curry-related posts. Just had a look myself. It’s had a sprinkling of politics in the last hour. Not sure how a thread about David Wagner has been allowed to change topic so many times. It’s a shame, really. |

To be fair, if it was a thread solely for news on David Wagner it would be completely blank.
Those discussing curry, politics and even contemplating combining the two with a post on Edwina Currie, are doing everyone a service by bumping it up the board with their inane drivel.

Yes it’s a foooookin disgrace..
No threads should ever go off on a tangent..
And nobody should ever be allowed to post any puns..
Or anything remotely humorous..
In case it offends people..
Or slows down their attempts to get to inside information..
From people who’ve no idea what they are talking about..
Please sort it out admins..
😄

It wouldn't be completely blank as there's been quite a few people trying to discuss his record since leaving Town, it's just been lost amongst all the drivel. |

I once saw Simon Grayson and his lisp in the Kashmir when he was our gaffer. Got excited that he was trying to sign Lionel Messi but he was just ordering a lamb methi. |

The larger issue is there is no news. Nature, so I am told, abhors a vacuum, and social media seems to be the same. The problem for me is all the curry posts push the thread to the top of the list so I think something is happening. It doesn't take long to realise that the only thing happening is a bunch of people debating the merits of various curry restaurants. As I already have my own favourite, Prashads in Drighlington, I am unmoved.  |

curries curries curries and the tories are dragging this country into neo-feudalism levels of inequity. It's a decent thread because until Maynard posts, nobody knows shit about the Wagner situation. If you don't like it - don't click on it!

But....but....but his record since leaving Town doesn't count. It's shit cos of the fault of the clubs involved apparently, he's going to comeback like it's 2016-17 like the 2012 version of JR would 🙄 |

I’ll keep my counsel from here on. ... and I apologise for setting it off with the thought that the lower tax rate might help us get Dave back. We might be waiting some time for a third apology from the poster who supplied several paragraphs explaining why the mini-budget was not in fact a 'suicide note' but was just what this country has been crying out for. |

What do you suggest we do? I too go straight to the David Wagner thread to see if there is news? Nope, just hot tips regarding curry - because there is no news. I assure you when the man signs there will be plenty to read about. but seriously, that's part and parcel of football humor. If we were to try and regiment the board with an iron fist there would be far more complaints of too much admin interference. You can never please all of the people all of the time. Sorry.

Thanks for the reply admin - and I totally accept you can't please all the people all the time. I was NOT in any way suggesting people "kept their counsel", or didn't post their views, or didn't discuss politics, or curry,or puns, or any topic they wanted to - I have no more right than anybody else to say what people can or cannot post. ALL I was politely suggesting was that perhaps they had their own thread on curry or politics or whatever.so we could then decide whether we wanted to read that particular thread or not. |

if you cayenn't stand the heat in the kitchen then just simply do not go into the kitchen. I mean you are allowed to carry on living without refreshing a Wagner thread every fifteen minutes and getting arsey about the content in it. Not that I'd be sad enough to do that [gulp!]

Too many off topic posts on this forum.
Anyway, should daylight saving time be abolished?

Generally I'd agree, I get especially fed up of the pun threads...but its international break and there's no news, if there was it would be easy to find.
At least there were some interesting recommendations in there. Any thread that descends into tedious puns should be locked and bans handed out IMO

As I already have my own favourite, Prashads in Drighlington, I am unmoved. Is that the vegetarian restaurant that featured (finished 2nd I recall) on Gordon Ramsey’s Best Restaurant many years ago? My wife and I went not long after the show aired and had a delicious meal. The staff were great too. Something tells me they’ve moved since we were there but I could easily have made that up. |
