I’m not sure that rule is enforced 100% of the time unfortunately You’re probably referring to the last sentence unless you know of some criminal or civil action where the site has refused to provide details of a poster to the relevant authority or legal counsel. What people find abusive or offensive is pretty arbitrary and will just be in the opinion of the moderator/s. Far too many people on the site seek to police what other people post. It can be both tedious and amusing, never ceases to amaze me how sensitive people are to things they don’t want to hear/read. Nobody should be abusive on here, you’re right that it’s dependent on the opinion of the target of abuse but far too often this forum descends into childish shite. It just spoils it for everyone.

Unfortunately some people feel they have a right to be abusive when they read things they don’t want to see. It’s nowhere near as abusive as it used to be.

I opened the thread hoping to read about the 2024 transfer window especially about Stoke, but it's just become a slagging thread. That’s another page taken up on non football matters 😂😂

It can be both tedious and amusing, never ceases to amaze me how sensitive people are to things they don’t want to hear/read. I remember the lad who got hit with a brick in Birmingham or similar and some lad claiming he saw it all on their similar site to this until he was reported to the police. The moderators weren't happy at all as you'd imagine . Seem to remember he was questioned but made the whole thing up re the Stoke fan abusing women and children which is the usual excuse. I think they had to reveal his identity or something to the police. Can't ever remember anything of that magnitude on here though. I was once called a horse molestor by an Everton fan , was never proven and the horse never came forward I’ve been called just about everything imaginable for posting stuff people don’t want to hear/see. I’m pretty careful about what can and can’t be said in law. Not had any visits from the police ( in the UK at least) or civil cases bought despite inviting them and being absolutely confident they’d fail. Far too many overly sensitive people about nowadays.

Said some time ago that we'd have a young team who want to play football. Don't be surprised if we get 2 in with a bit more experience and another that's fairly raw. I'm very optimistic.

Crikey yep..some look to be offended Take it on the chin and is a block button if you don't like it I don't think you can say log into a 581 page thread and expect it all to be about that subject exclusively , especially if little happening in general. I don't tend to pay much attention to who posts what, have to be honest. Read the content more than the originator so not really noticed who is falling out with who as much as I should .

You don’t get promoted out of this league with kids and that’s a fact unfortunately. We need hardened players in the 24-28 age bracket with pace and power. I appreciate that’s easier said than done.

The bit more experience comment from Fish, to me cries out Danny Ings.

On the face of it, this window has been good tbf, we’ve signed younger players with potential, players who could make us profit, fans have been crying out for these sort of players for time. I understand fans frustration about not getting a quality goalscorer in, but let’s see what position we’re in next week.
Will be games like last weekend, but again it’s a younger team, we’re in one of the healthiest positions squad wise we’ve been in years.

And the Aussie striker as the "raw" option?

Does Tom Cannon count as 'raw'? He's only 21
Seko seems to be nailed on to be one of the experienced ones.

Maybe Lewis Travis or Ryan Wintle as the more experienced player?.

According to the BBC quiz about which Chelsea surplus player your club should get, we should loan Fofana (young, maverick), or Lukaku (experienced, consistent). It's that easy! Come on Darno, pull your finger out! Chelsea outcastshaha, I've done this and the good news is we are signing Fofana I did this too, there’s a stupid amount there & players will have to go on loan! Fofana (would be great but mostly started when on loan at Burnley last year, prob loads of loan interest); deivid Washington (risky first loan); armando broja (linked with big money move, Fulham interested)! Prob more in academy ready for that first loan too!

Will be games like last weekend, but again it’s a younger team, we’re in one of the healthiest positions squad wise we’ve been in years. Pretty much agree there don’t appear to have been any rank bad signings. I don’t think enough priority has been placed on scoring goals which will either be placated in the next week or make the window look quite horrible whereby we’ve spent money in other areas that should have been retained for goal scorers.
