Hurling abuse at other BM members inside BM risks the wrath of @Ric and the mods but unlikely to go legal.

If you want to hurl abuse at public figures use public media such as Twitter and Facebook. Then you aren't putting @Ric at risk of prosecution. Oyston went after the Blackpool forum guys.

Government is already building the weapons to restrict the internet, we don't need to supply the ammunition.

The fact its predominately the BBC irritates more than any other media outlet, simply because I am forced to fucking pay for it. There jack shit on the BBC that I watch, but i pay a public funded broadcaster that thinks its acceptable for a silver spoon millionaire drink driving slag to take the piss of of the working class for not being able to afford a few hundred pounds pocket money.

So tempted to just ditch the license

Can i just point to Phil McfukkinNulty, chief footy man at the beeb, and his thinly disguised barbs about the fa cup 'meaning something' again after the wolves game.
I wonder if he's slagged off all those prem teams who couldn't be arsed fielding proper sides in their ties or hinted that they are ruining the competition?

I hate the beeb, and everything they stand for.
 
What's made me laugh over the past couple of days is all the " wow Watford came back from 2 down, in the FA CUP!"

As if it wasn't done in the quarters.......


By our good selves!

Spot on mate. A lot of actual match going fan's of other clubs side with us as they know the problems and costs incurred of going to games. Most of the abuse comes from overseas trolls and armchair fans who will never go to a game in their lives.

Tin hat on here but comments like Pep made stoke the fire. Instead of saying, " Maybe our fan's will come and support us in the final" or words to that effect,he should be saying what a magnificent effort it was we took over 20,000 fans to a game over 200 miles away with a late kick off time. He could have also added how expensive it is following a team involved in all competitions and many doing so are not as privileged to be as wealthy as us here.

Yes i don't think pep does us any favours with comments like that

I reckon she would be an idea partner for collymore

She already has been.

“I can’t look at Cadbury’s chocolate fingers in the same way again after what she did with them” I think was what Collymore said

The BBC do some excellent programming especially History/Geography/Science documentaries. They also (though they didn’t want to keep it) have Radio 6 Music which is the one and only decent radio station in the whole of radio in the whole of the United Kingdom.

They are, however, very poor when it comes to News and Sport. They have their agendas when it comes to both. They’re obsessed with putting forward a soft-arse overly Liberal stance even though the Liberals are further from power than they’ve ever been. They push sexism and racism like they are as big an issue as they are in the US when this country has nowhere near the level of either. They are a Rag and Kopite propaganda organisation and are obsessed with pushing garbage minority sports over long standing well loved sports among the population (like telling us some fucking hockey player had retired yesterday over all the weekend’s rugby league and rugby union).

It bloody annoyed me. As fans we follow the team all over, many at great financial cost to support them. A bit of support back from the club when we are under there attack as a fan base wouldn't go amiss.

Sometimes i think he gets us but other times it feels like he doesn't,i would have thought after so long in the prem he would understand the fan base a bit more

Not what you know but who you know eh?

I think he has got us a bit. The problem is he has come from two European giants in Barcelona and Bayern with worldwide followings. They are long established at the top table so will probably sell out most big games. While it may be disappointing for him to see empty spaces he should understand why that might be the case.

Savage at least was saying that he agreed with Ena, even if his own behaviour wasn't great.

However, while Gallacher's behaviour was dreadful, that doesn't remotely excuse the abuse she's had either. Some of it is vile. And it also allows people like her to get away with it by saying "look at how horrible these people are".

I suspect (or perhaps I'm just hoping) that Savage was laughing because they'd discussed what the theme was going to be and he'd already stated how it would go with maybe some facts for them beforehand.
