None of us want it to get serious, we all love the tangents and banter that can be had on here.its only a bit of fucking fun though, transfer muppetry is part of the fun of it all, i think people know that some sources are better than others and who gives a fuck if they dont. Dont want this forum to get so fucking serious
And it's a fine opinion to have, but there would have to be monitoring of it in case and forum dynamite is in there. All posters on here are capable of excellent posts on football matters, and there is the fear that creating a thread just for bollocks means we lost time and effort by someone. And that's a fucking crime.Fair enough. Just create a bullshit twitter thread for non-journo tweets then and then get everyone to sign up to it and move any posts that slip in into that thread. Tell Ross to stay out of it, job done. I've nothing against Ross's opinion, just the way he's expressing it. That's just my opinion.

But it's not a free for all. Ultimately it's for football discussion too.
Speaking for myself, recently the forum has become soooooooooooo meh
If it's not Modo and Mark arguing, it's Ross wanting to shove twitter up hanserns arse! There's little debate to be had. If any good post does rise above the shite, it's lost nearly immediately due to a tangent.
We've tried as mods to split threads, create new ones, lock useless ones, but it's soooooo soul destroying. It's like being the gardener at Alton towers.

You should deffo get the piss taken out of you for posting shite sources. Twitter is no worse than Tribal Football or Bert from the Metro though.
Metro is well known news media outlet. Tribal football publish second hand news sometimes from reputable sourcesYou should deffo get the piss taken out of you for posting shite sources. Twitter is no worse than Tribal Football or Bert from the Metro though.

I'd agree Ross should tone it down, but people should also realise this isn't a place to vomit their feelings on any wall, and smear faeces over each others work.
.
Because it was tried to be all delicate and nice. No one paid attention.
Thread creation is appalling on this site. Lots of great, fantastic posts are lost in the ether between shite posts. The main culprit of shite posts seemed to be from Twitter.
Random opinion pieces are fine but EVERY FUCKING SLIGHT RUMOUR from nobheads on Twitter is getting posted.
It was suggested by Ross in Mod chat to allow just journalist tweets and I'd agree whole heartedly with that.
@Semolina Lipton, you've got a track record with your knowledge so at least we know what we're getting. Your sources are fine and I'm happy for you to post whatever you want.
I recall a year or 2 ago oncy started a rumour about us being in for Drogba, and it got reported on tribal football.
We also created a twitter account claiming to be an ITK just to see who'd bite.
For fucks sake. It's that EASY for shite to get picked up. Whats wrong with just posting sources from BBC, sky sports, or reputable journalists (not that beaker looking cunt from the metro though)
THIS is what Ross had been trying to put forward but THIS gets ignored because it's Ross!
He's been a nob about it recently, but he's been ignored for a good long while. So why not shout and scream if it gets people to listen?
The bickering has spread from the lies.The forum is meh right now because of all the bickering, not the transfer rumours.
Before it was tribalfootball, now it's random Twitter accounts. Most of the stuff in the papers is made up too so who cares.
The forum isn't going to improve if you cut down on the "lies", just die quicker.
He's shite
What do I win?
how good's the source sunny jim?
You can have look at my Panini swaps, take your pick
We do nothing because it's double standards if we doThat excuses the fact that he go around insulting and belittling people completely unprovoked whilst none of you guys seem to give a shit? It's completely out of order the way he speaks to people on this site because he doesn't like what they say, or what they enjoy discussing, and I dare say if one of us was speaking like that to someone, you'd be having words with us. If he spoke to said people with an iota of respect, we might actually get somewhere.
Lucas and reina have been linked loosely in the papers this week. Agger wouldn't surprise. Who's their centre backs? Albiol and..?Decent. Although I can't see it given how much Napoli paid unless other players go the other way. Agger, Lucas, Reina?

17 goals in 31 appearanceshas he been a success there?
Indiekaila is the biggest gobshite on twitter. I have to filter all mentions of him.
