I look at the Oatcake as something like a virtual Stoke City Pub - a place you can go for a few minutes (or hours) to be with like minded people who share a passion for Stoke. Listen to the latest news, hear some juicy rumors, discuss the merits of various tactics/ selections, remember times gone by and just generally have a good time.
With that thought in mind, can you imagine if people in a pub behaved the way some people on here do ( including me from time to time). The person who always has to get the last word; the person who repeats ad nauseum the same view over and over; the person who never has anything good to say about Stoke; the person who resorts to insulting anyone who dares to have a different opinion to theirs; the know it all who launches into long tedious explanations about why their point of view is correct and everyone else is wrong; the loudmouth who has to dominate every conversation even if there are 3 or 4 going on at the same time.
I think that the police would have to set up a station right next door to “ The Oatcake Arms” to cut down travel costs!

You have summed up, in a nutshell, exactly what's wrong with social media there, Boks! The reason there are no real pubs with people behaving like they do on here is because those people wouldn't dare behave the way they do in the boozer as they'd get a smack in the mouth or the landlord would ask them politely to fuck off and never come back because they are bad for trade! I get the attraction of anonymity on the internet but this is also its massive downside. |

Bayern would be in there telling the bar staff where they should be and what they should be doing, telling one of them that he's decent enough at his job but prevents others from doing theirs whilst pointing out that if we'd all listened to him months ago then we'd have "Cocktails and dreams" instead of some 19th Century boozer! Benji would be stumbling around outside slurring his words (much in the same way he somehow manages to slur his writing) telling us all how the end was nigh as he'd predicted every single fucking year since he first turned up |

Not a bad idea for a new name for me actually. Might have to clear it with our very own Albert though so i don't cause offence...... Gouranga (or some other bollocks) |

Can you imagine Benji pissed? It’s hard work when he’s sober! He’d definitely be a character.
Who’s taking the position as Duncan Disorderly?

Ah, memories of those cold, wet, windy nights in the lower leagues.. Staffsy munching on scratchings and clutching his Guiness, Ilford Dave, the legend 339,Sal and myself sharing a bottle of Rioja and adding a well needed touch of class  and of course, yourself DB, lowering the tone |
