What is triggering Gilbert now. Hasn’t he anything better to do?

Is he just upset because no-one has called him a not so obvious babe yet?

Think it's because the trust were upset they got called out and one of their wum accounts got put in their place.

Funny really how the trust are acting offended about those threads yet have Roger Ellis involved.

Was that to threaten with a bill for people posting from the telegraph site?

OK. Who can find a picture of Simons mum for that thread? It’s not big or clever but rules are rules.

He’s right. The threads mentioned are massively embarrassing and as soon as ‘we’ got together as a single unit to make statements and get involved with the politics of the clubs situation I knew it would be free rein for things like that to be brought up.

Worst of the lot is Nick under the name of the actual forum talking bollocks on twitter. I said it to him when it all first came about but he’s still at it I see.

Wonder why they are bringing it up now then?

Yep, I still reply to stuff and push good causes but hadn't been on as much until n the last couple of days.

I don’t see them as massively embarrassing on a football forum TBH. They’re pretty harmless compared to some and actual misogyny and racism get pulled up here pretty quick by many users me and you included.

You have a point about the forum as it’s own entity in terms of fan representation though. This is why I thought names would be better.

Also, we have spent ages taking the piss out of Simon for quite some time, we can hardly whine when he throws a dig back.

Because it’s the easiest way to discredit anything we do as a group. It’s teeming with cunts on here. Feel free to add me to the c**t list.

I expected a concerted attack on the forum at some point. Not in the middle of a public health crisis when people are dying though.

Not many people on here have been called out in the media for turning a blind eye to sex gangs though.

We are just every day cunts who occasionally take a joke too far.

As did I. I’ve talked loads of shite over the years and argued with all sorts after a few bevs. Every post is still here. We are all fair game and under scrutiny if we are going to use the forum as a means to get involved.

Not really much of an attack. More entertaining than anything else.

It is what it is, most people have been dicks. Most people have been called out as being dicks. (Me included and more than most)

Im not sure Gilbert is diverting much resource away from the pandemic effort by posting on Twitter. He’s not a fan of the forum on his personal account, he’s hardly putting out hit pieces on the BBC.

We all just need to chill out and recognise if you put yourself out there people will take shots and in the grand scheme of things it doesn’t really matter.

I would say get a personal account for Twitter though Nick mate, and leave that one for the thread posts and the like.

Yeah I agree and have said it before but will openly admit sometimes I can't resist biting or a sarcastic well timed dig.

From this day forward, it will just be forum stuff and pushing good causes and retweeting the club.

£50 to charity if I break it. Mainly because I don't want everybody to be tarred with my cuntishness.

Same with whoever is using the trust account. This has only popped up today because whoever is using the account wants to discredit the recent work by tweeting a stupid twitter argument one of their mates and nick has had. At least we’re a fans forum working together and not a group looking for a a seat of the fucking board.

Shame they weren't so happy to tweet about the season ticket fund.

Probably needed approval first that it wasn't too pro ccfc.

I agree though, it doesn't help me being a twat when it comes to Pete and Mark etc.

Yeah same with the Trust account. Unless it’s an official statement by the organisation it shouldn’t be put out under their name.

To be fair the account is normally non partisan and doesn’t bring personal disputes in

Was just about to pile in on the contributors to those threads who've brought shame upon the whole forum.
Luckily I checked to see if I'd posted on either of them first.

To be fair, the old boys are mad for it. Wingy is a pest. Otis has a weird fetish.

But those threads were up when we got together as a single unit, and no one asked them to be removed then.

Those posts in the scheme of things don’t look great, but Gilbert is being a disingenuous c**t to use them to try to take the moral high ground. Reprehensible and cheap journalism at its best.

You’re not wrong but theres so much on here that can be used and I’m pretty sure it was mentioned at the time. And not just by me.

Unfortunately that’s how the media game works. And we will always lose if this forum is being used as one entity. It’s as simple as that.

We need to put names to anything going forward,
Bigcock69skybluehelmet87 doesn't cut it.

That’s a good argument, and I agree, as it’s too easy for someone of Gilbert’s level to use it when he needs to.
