Unlikely in my case.

hes not the 1st and unfortunatley he wont be the last so get over it, the sooner the season starts and these cr*p troll threads end the better.

Well summed up.

In their haste to burn Hudge at the stake and throw me on too they may have missed the fact that i never condoned texting whilst driving.
I am fully aware that the loss of concentration whilst driving can lead to accidents.
Im assuming these people never change a CD then which can also cause an accident.
Its not something i do as a matter of course i do its something i said i have done in the past.
Reading a text ive been sent.
What that has to do with being a mod on here god only knows.
Perhaps behaving like adults whilst posting should be compulsary for some if its a moral crusade they want and they want to set a good example.

I'd disagree with you there. Like everyone else a mod is entitled to his own views, especially when it comes to matters that actually have nothing whatsoever to do with the game. For what it's worth I disagree with GML in this instance. When I see this behavior on the road it infuriates me and in my opinion it should lead to a ban.
However it has nothing to do with the club or it's supporters so it seems slightly sad to see the opposing fans swarming all over the forum full of mock indignation. The reality is it's simple point scoring no different to that which went on over Raynor and Cockayne to name but two.

Give over you plank, when did he enrol as the moral police?

And you an'all.

Changing a CD's not a criminal offence though, and that's for a reason. The fact is Hudgell has previous convictions for motoring offences and runs a firm that bankrolls Rovers out of gaining compensation for victims of them. Yet you still just give an "it could happen to anyone" style shrug of the shoulders. I assume you would have been similarly apologetic if it had been James Rule who'd been convicted with "previous"?

Yep:

"What are Moderators?
Moderators are individuals (or groups of individuals) whose job it is to look after the running of the forums from day to day. They have the power to edit or delete posts and lock, unlock, move, delete and split topics in the forum they moderate. Generally moderators are there to prevent people going off-topic or posting abusive or offensive material."

Where do you draw the line between what is offensive and what is not? I daresay the families of a victim of an RTA whose driver was using a mobile phone would have a different opinion on that to GML. I, personally, find any flippant disregard of the trust placed in the people who drive 2 tons of lethal weapon by those drivers themselves offensive. Be it by deliberately speeding, drinking, using your phone or any other flouting of the driving laws in force to protect us all.



You're right there!

He was naughty and he got caught...Neil Hudgell is still God to me...

Thats the thing with assumptions.
Particulary yours.
Never based on fact are they.

i hope Rule doesnt get caught, im fed up of this cr*p thread as it is, we dont want another one

Pipe down and get back to your milk chocolate brazils. No chatting allowed.

Well ive never been done for speeding and never had a point on my licence and never been involved in an RTA so stop being so over dramatic.

Apologies. I'm sure James Rule looks forward to similar levels of support from you, should he ever commit multiple driving offences.

Good lad!

Neither have I.

Again your assuming id be interested in James Rule's life.
I think some FC fans dream of Hudge nightly as they appear obsessed by him.

No, you're better off with mods who allow a thread to run about the shameful brick throwing incident 29 years ago, posted with the pure intent of stirring up animosity between your fans and ours.

I suspect he is a Rovers troll TBH.

To throw oil onto this troubled fire, is condoning something better or worse than having done it?

On the Hull board Paul M admits to having been caught driving while using a mobile phone. Do Hull fans think this compromises his ability to moderate? I don't.

There is a limit, but this isn't even close.

Actually, although not a specific criminal offence in the same way as operating a mobile phone is, you can get done for operating your car stereo while driving if Plod so wishes. I know of a couple of cases, in fact.

Driving without due care and attention covers a multitude of sins.

That was my point but you put it very well.

That thread is closely monitored, and TBH it's been pretty harmless. If it had veered into blatant hate-mongering it would have gone.

I've been behind a car which was hit by an oncoming vehicle because the driver was changing a cassette. Nearly a head on. I bet there's not many of us can claim never to have operated the stereo while driving.

There was the case a couple of years ago when a woman was charged for a driving offence whilst she was eating an apple.

Yup. In theory you can get charged for any activity that the attending officer deems to be preventing you from being in full control of the vehicle. The additional specific offences regarding mobile phones were brought in because of the prevalence of those particular activities, and because research shows them to be more distracting than pretty much anything else.

That doesn't mean that anyone texting while driving is anything less than a thoughtless pillock, mind.
