Not sure it was the PC brigade. It was all started by the now banned Marsbar who went into one of his epic meltdowns and started abusing people left, right and centre.

Again?....... I didn't know but assume it was the matchday thread ... I defended him last time but he doesn't help himself that's for sure..
 
On the subject of Browne i thought he was excellent the other night considering. Like Hugil, it baffles me how Browne has a split opinion from fans. Both players are excellent and commit so much to their game. Browne could well make the World Cup if they qualify imo. His energy and work rate is the best we have had for a long time.

Not sure what it has to do with political correctness anyway - I suspect that most of the people kicking up a fuss about people not wearing poppies would describe themselves as part of the PC brigade! 🙂

It would appear a crude attempt to have a go at Browne which he had to shoot down.

Agree, I have my reasons for not wearing them as others have for wearing them. Just don't assume its disrespect on my behalf, its a stance I have had to defend on many occassions and so far when explained people in general understand although they disagree.

maybe we had a few shirts printed with the 'white peace poppy' and AB was wearing one of those !
 
The "Browne" thread the other night was PIOSON no need to pour petrol on it and describe what was said, as others have said it was bang out of order , best left there, yes it has been deleted and cleaned by the mods ! And rightly so !

Re Browne as a player : he seems to divided opion like Joe Garner, weather you like him , love him , hate him , one thing he has in common with Joe is the fact he always gives 100% for the shirt , and for me , if the manager picks him , thats enough , he has never given a short shift !!!!!!!

That kid always give 100%

I'd just like to have read it and made up my own mind. If it wasn't a threat to this forum then although I appreciate your personal circumstances/feelings I really don't see an issue with reading something that has been written....

The mods 100% got it right in their actions, on this one.

Yup - agree with that.

Libs - you know I'm not a fan of censorship and moderating language, and I am no shrinking violet when it comes to arguments and insults, but that crossed the line by quite some way. Marbars' words were nasty, spiteful, and snide, IMO.

Free speech does not give the right to abuse other forum users - if you want to say something that would probably see you punched in the face in the real world, you shouldn't say it online.

Thanks fellas, I've now read it.......... And I've seen worse on a sober Wednesday night on the current affairs section arguing about diddly squat.........And I've most certainly seen ten times worse in previous years Poppy threads ( we are consistent on here ).......... I do agree that nipping it in the bud was probably wise though...
 
Just to add, I spotted it the other night and had to act quickly as Marsbars was clearly 'off on one'. He posted sectarian abuse in the thread as well as threatening to kill someone!
Some may say "oh he was pissed" but there is absolutely no excuse to post what he did.

I had to issue him with a temp 7 day ban whilst his future gets discussed in the mod forum. I feel let down as we gave him another chance after previously being banned yet he went ahead and did that.

I know I'm being more transparent than I usually am (!) but just thought I'd clear things up.
