I understand the World Record holder for the worst reply on a forum to a recent bereavement was at last nights game.

No special welcome back for Cian Bolger tonight then, or did I miss it? He was a youngster thrown to the lions when we had him here, always did the best he could, surely worthy of a sporting west country round of applause? Edit. If nothing else we could have applauded the fact that he's given up on the bottled blonde hair! I would've given him a good clap but the teams had been announced & were ready to kick off before I took up my place (& i hadn't realised he was at Fleetwood before the game). But then I didn't hold a bitter grudge against Smudger either. |

Cian wasn't ever our player, but I valued the contributions he made.
I acknowledged him, but as far as clapping him, nope.
No more than he clapped us.

If you didn't know that he was at Fleetwood then you would have been unlikely to find out from Nick Day's mumbled and hurried team announcement. 02. No, he wasn't 'our player', but that didn't help him much when he did his cruciate wearing our shirt. 19 years old, thrown in at the deep end, always appeared to give everything he had, yet totally ignored when he came back last night. I don't get it? |

Though I should've added a good point about Bolger gettng injured, hence why a player should look after himself first because you can't rely on a club to do it. A good reason for Michael Smith to leave jump 2 divisions & undoubtedly increase his earnings in what is a short career. |

A good reason for Michael Smith to leave jump 2 divisions & undoubtedly increase his earnings in what is a short career. Again, I don't really get this 'short career' line. Are footballers banned from ever working again when they stop playing? It's not just Smith, it happens all over the place every year, teams get relegated and the players who have been part of making it happen run away, well, that's between them and their conscience, all I can say is that I wouldn't do it and I have nothing but respect for the players who stayed when Smith abandoned ship. Tom Lockyer, McCrystal, Tom Parkes and probably a few others could have got other League clubs, some do, some don't, but that's just life isn't it, some people you know will always have your back, some won't. |

I am asked to write obituaries for former Rovers players over the past 30 years and try my best to be as accurate as possible. In this case you keep banging on about I just made the point that the guy had not made a first team appearance and no stats were mentioned whatsoever.
Not sure why you feel it right to keep having a go....just leave it. You are making yourself look foolish. You and whoever County guy is you both just seem to want to focus on negatives. It is not big and certainly not clever. A sign of immaturity to me but no doubt you two get pleasure from it. Listen life's too short believe me. Move on please

It is a short career with limited opportunities to earn the same or similar money once you stop playing. Those are the facts and the sensible players look to maximise your earnings. Personally I've entered a career path that will allow me to maintain similar earnings throughout my career but I'll still look to maximise my earnings by changing employers. You seem to want hark back to the days of the minimum wage and players tied to the same club for life. Times have changed. Following your logic though once a team is relegated you would play the next season with the same crap players that got you relegated because obviously loyalty would be a two way street? |

No, no and no. If I was part of a team that made a mess of a project I would ask if my employer wanted me to assist with trying to put it right. If my employer wanted to get rid of me without good reason I would just move on, no thumb sucking or tribunals, it would be between the (ex) employer and his/her conscience. All I would do is find a way to earn more or do a job that I found more rewarding. If I was an employer I would exercise due diligence before handing out 3 year contracts on 3 grand a week to washed up journeymen. I may even take advice from people in the same industry  |

Makes sense so the employer gets left with the crap whilst the employable people move on. Think that pretty much sums up what most relegated teams get stuck with. |

Only problem is, that's not even close to what I said. This is about as pointless as trying to get a straight reply to a point made out of Mehdi Hasan. Moving right along........ |
