Are you NEW to this site? Rules and Guidelines

[hank37w]

The forum is a completely different place when we are winning. Long may it continue.

I hope I'm wrong but I would expect that there will be some wanting to slash their wrists before the regular season is over.

I'm with you, kul hates it but if you close it will start up somewhere else. Rumours are what makes the world go around mate, people must know what others are saying, whether it's fact or rubbish, they'll read it. It's an necessary evil unfortunately.

Usually the domain of women. Don’t normally see males get so wrapped up in this sort of crap.

The "rumours" thread is the security blanket for many on here and with our long run of disasters as a club probably their main source of hope

Careful T that statement may now be construed as politically incorrect. Better substitute the word fans or people for women. We can no longer put the blowtorch on females !

Not denying that T but you know where I’m coming from !
These days it’s not what you say, but how you say it .

Let sleeping dogs lie.
No matter what you call it will spread all over the shop. It would help though if members invite others to the appropriate threads to carry on the conversation that are off topic.
The only issues I have about off topic stuff is we tend to repeat ourselves over and over because it said in other threads and because we start new threads and forget about all the previous great posts on the topic. What's the point if reinventing the wheel, just read archives and add to it to create some interest.
The other reason is we dont miss something that we would like to have read.... I'm sure we all dont want to miss the lastest scoop on Brooks 🤔
So finally, lets keep the recruiting rumours where it should be and other stuff in appropriate threads...easy 😉
