Why? he's amusing

Agreed. It gives me chance to poke fun at the less fortunate, although previous posters of this nature don’t tend to last long

no, but this one hasn't over stepped the mark at all

Doesn't matter - any criticism against rovers is a troll or worse.

Pot and kettle see knockersbump on you own board he can't post anything without you all jumping on him

Not the case though is is it chief?

No.

Many respected posters have been tolerated and listened to and have become friends over the years on here.

Particularly when they where are / where funny.

I used to like Hutchie, everyone knows Coffee Woman and I are friends online, I've never met her.

Jake, I've never met and my family certainly are ashamed of having something to do with him gaining some sort of an education, but we're a charitable and good family, me aside.

(Full disclosure, my Mam is off Hessle Road).

People say these boards are dieing because of changing social media, probably true, but I'm sure we can maintain the hatred.

I know this is the board talking about the board, but on a chat thread I think that is okay.



Web fan forums have generally drifted out of fashion, of course. There was an article about it in When Saturday Comes, a month or two ago. However, apparently RLFANS has seen something of a reversal of that trend recently. I doubt we’ll ever get back to the mid-late noughties heyday, but still.

Even before the Facebook scandal, it, twitter and others were seeing a squeeze from other stuff (snapchat and instagram possibly - I really dunno), as well getting a bit toxic around the edges and having some issues with uneven/overstretched moderation. It’ll be interesting to see how fashions change, but I suspect i’ll stay here like a ageing Ted, Mod or Punk. Instagram isn’t going to work for me any better than skinny jeans and a permed fringe would.

Mental image stored for repeated future use whenever MR posts.

I had the misfortune of seeing him in the flesh last weekend

I think on both boards, fans of shall we say a more negative persuasion, are dismissed as fans of the opposite side. It just amuses me.
Glad to see you posting again after a little break? Locked up?

I don't mind some of the stuff he posts, and I think some is bang on the money. The issue is that he just starts then spouting stuff that's clearly wrong, proven wrong and he/she just cannot accept it.
I have not a doubt he/she is though an FC fan

Knocker's just a parody. Posts utter drivel then starts abusing people who disagree. Obviously not something any of the rest of us could be accused of

You have to admire his stance on Radford even after two CC wins his hatred of him is still in tact he hasn't relented at all

I reckon they went to school together and radford used to nick his dinner money

Anybody heard any rumour on who the hooker we’re guna sign is , sheens said he’s looking to sign one befor next weeks games which says he must already have some one in mind or even already been offerd them probably be some body in the uk can’t see it been somebody from Aussie With the visa process

James Cunningham? just a guess.

Big money move for danny washbrook

Nice try jake some times your the best troll on here lol

Yeah I’d say that won’t be a bad signing can’t see us getting a hooker from super league but may be Cunningham or be one of Toronto’s hookers Beswick or Akers I’d even say get will jub back he dint look that bad when we had him ...

Ackers looked decent last year when we played against him, Cunningham is ok, could loan Jubby back from York as back up, or give his brother a run

All sound sensible options but nowing rovers we will end up putting marsh at 9 that will really flatten ower attack not to mention defence I mean wen tommy lee played 9 we looked flat in attack we need a hooker that jumps out from acting half and always has the square markers thinking as well as been able to put the tackles in Shaun Lunt is up there with the best but he is far to injury prone and leaves a big hole when he’s out

To be fair to Marsh he did well considering he was thrown in after 2 minutes into a pivotal position that he isn't used to

There is no doubting marsh has all the attributes physically to do ok, he can pass, kick, tackle above his weight and do big minutes.

Mentally i think it's challenging for him, confidence is key and he just doesn't have enough to direct a team and be in control.

Maybe hooker is a position that suits him, agree with Frankie he played well on sunday credit were credits due

I never so him on Sunday so I can not comment but if so get him in a team like York or any team on loan and play him in that position if possible

the problem with not having a reserve league, FC do it as well, but loaning players out stifles progress of others, if they aren't good enough don't sign them.
