Broghammer has played in 10 games (out of 15). He hasn't scored, but he has five assists. He has come off the bench four times, and been subbed four times. He also has one Man-of-the-Match, and his team sit third in their table. Cheers Nobby, Was going to get my Port Vale supporting Leipzig dwelling friend on the case... As for Clarkson he'll keep it up, he's a very good player but not a winger...

Its a pity that the laws create the fear of "punishment" for those moderating or posting on a football forum. The funny thing is that blokes like Shane expose their own stupidity by the comments he makes, so stupid that its difficult to be offended, more pitying. But the mods are right and as others have said we all signed up to the rules. As for reporting posts, I get that its useful sometimes to point the mods towards threads that are butting up againstbthe forum rules as they cannot possibly read everything. Calling this "snitching" is a bit immature. Oh stop it, that's far too sensible. My opinion is that most of it was done to draw a reaction, I said more than once that the way to stop him doing it was to ignore him, so shouldn't everybody who encouraged him by engaging with him also be banned? So, no current affairs, no Shane, Wes and his barmpot conspiracy theory stuff has gone, Kevin (who knows lots of people in the game and more often than not has something interesting to add) is nowhere to be seen, Eclectic Blue hasn't been around for a while, Kim is least in sight, no Nicky Biggs humour for months now. Soon all we will have left is guess the gate and 'UWE is delayed' threads.

Calling this "snitching" is a bit immature. Your are correct Oldie, the mods cannot and do not read every post and we actively encourage members to report posts they consider have transgressed the rules. The Mods do not take action on every reported post and where action is taken they are usually reached by discussion and agreement between the Mods. That approach ensures the forum is not run on the whim of any individual, a la the OF. Reporting posts isn't 'snitching' but a way individual members can support the Mods and ensure we have a forum we can all enjoy. I'm a little surprised that you highlighted the use of one word out of many that I have used Jeff, it seems to be a little unnecessary to me. I would have expected that a person such as yourself, would have seen and appreciated the context that I was using it in. I did so to attempt to illustrate a schoolboy mentality, but that appears to have been lost. Shame really. Kind regards.

But in my opinion, no contributions from some of them makes it a less interesting place.

He also has one Man-of-the-Match, and his team sit third in their table. I always liked the Hammer, and it was a shame that we weren't able to take a chance on him for this season. Glad to hear that things seem to be working out ok for him. I presume that zfc will be back after some time in the cooler. I don't mind threads meandering off track when it's in a logical kind of way, but when they are diverted by totally irrelevant content I tend to stop reading them. With regard to everybody being treated equally, somebody did call Nurse Ratchett a fool (or something similar) and it appeared to pass without reference. However, being a mod is a thankless task and, while they're never going to please all of the people, I think that on the whole they do a very good job on here.
