I'm sorry to bring up old ground but I've been watching from afar, slightly aghast - I'd like to see people who go on about Nani being a bigs girls blouse and it only being a scratch see how they'd react if a stud cut them through to the bone...keyboard warrioring of the worst sort.


Well done Narnia for at least trying to stand up against such unpleasantness.

Keyboard warrioring of the worst kind? We are on a thread about football aren't we? Taking the piss out of a player for crying might be mean, but it's only fucking football for christ's sake! I've no idea why anyone has taken it so seriously, and you don't seem to have an opinion on the whole xenophobic claim Quids? I swear, Sean done the right thing getting off this stupid forum. Christ knows what you'd call it if someone was talking about something that actually mattered.

My legs, especially my shins and knees still bear the scars of my football playing days. I never cried. Not once. I never behaved like a petulant spoilt child throwing his toys out of the pram when I got fouled and I certainly never took a dive.

I've said all along it was a bad tackle that warranted a sending off but Nani's reaction and his behaviour in the past left a lot to be desired.

Can we move on now please?

No Keef I thought yours and Mathews posst were unpleasant, not Xenophobic I agree , but not just 'taking the piss', - and not typical of your postings at all. To be honest you seem quite senstitive about this so I supect you possibly think this youreslf too. As you say, it's a forum FFS so We're welcome to our opinions. I thought Narnia/Declan got a particularly hard time from quite a few on here for standing up against unpleasant posts, although I agree that I don't think you were being xenophobic. If you're going to leave the Forum because of someone who likes you and most of your posts just happens to think you and several others were out of order on this occasion, then it's a pity. The talking point in all the papers I read and what I saw was a disgusting tackle not Nani's reaction - I gave up with proper tribalism at football a long time ago, 'bantering' about an unpleasant injury isn't for me.

No intention of leaving because of anything you said, that is a whole other story.


I am sorry if my posts came across as unpleasant. All my comments were based on what I saw on the day, and what I saw on MOTD, and I thought his reaction was shocking. That was not to defend the tackle in any way (and I never have).


I've just done a google search, and there are some stories suggesting he may be out for a few weeks, and that, if true, is unfortunate, but I still think his reaction lost him a lot of sympathy, and maybe "boy who cried wolf" is appropriate in this scenario.


To be honest you seem quite sensitive about this


That is purely because of the xenophobic thing. I'm not sure if Narnia was trying to be malicious or not, but that little "throw away" comment, annoyed me more than anything has on this thread, or this forum for a long time! You just don't throw words like that around, even if you have read a newspaper article (which I agreed, made some good points).


Xenophobic, and racism may not be the same thing, but for me, they are both equally unpleasant accusations, and yes, I get upset if one is aimed at me. Had the word "racists" been used instead of "xenophobes", there would have been much more of an uproar, and having read that article, I'm not sure the guy who wrote it really knows the difference.


Anyway, I've said my piece.

    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
