And I must admit I have had a gutfull of the loony left nutcases that have destroyed this once vibrant and humourous site. | |

So racism will escalate markedly in this country due to the protests (riots).... it is having the complete reverse effect they are/were trying to achieve. And you cant even fathom that the constant shyte you post (which just goes endlessly round in circles) is why countless posters have given up on this site. The humour/banter has gone because people like you were offended (or making out to be) and kept pressing the report icon... It's just doom and gloom..... and you absolutely bask in anything negative.....it wont be long until you and the other merchants of gloom make this site unbearable. | |

This BLM bollocks on 09:11 - Jun 9 with 3761 views | Wints76 | Just to be clear, on a thread entitled 'This BLM Bollocks', on a site that people left to set up a new site because this one was getting far too right wing and losing the humour when certain people joined, and which Breitbart would think twice about posting some of the opinions passed, but has 2 or 3 vocally left wing posters, people are suggesting that 'lefties' have ruined this football forum?

I keep forgetting that forum exists. Just had a look. I see that Patred is still alive and well on there. I also note the rather “abrasive” saintsfan73 is a regular poster on there. FWIW I really enjoy the debates on here, whether it’s Left v Right, Saints v Pompey or Stay in v anti-Social Distancing, there is always something on here to keep me entertained. So long as it doesn’t get overly personal, it’s all good in my book. | |

This site has lost loads of great characters and the humour they brought to it. Its now just a tit for tat echo-chamber As with modern football stadiums...this site has become sterile so as not to upset those that seek to be perpetually offended...and that is in no way a situation created by Nick. What once was a bustling city centre boozer is now a sedate cafe with precious little flowers constantly needing to feel offended. Just be real. | |

I guess this will make me a person of “white privilege”, a phrase I am increasingly hearing and liking less each time I hear it. | |

So we will have more racism because people are protesting about it? Interesting concept. I suppose on the plus side more and more racists are making themselves known which gives us a chance to educate them. I have not reported anyone. If you or other posters don’t like my posts, don’t read them. It really is that simple. If you want humour, write something funny instead of attacking people with a different view to you. For someone who finds political posts boring, you post a lot of political posts. You seem to be the type of person who will shout about free speech but only on your terms. I am sorry if you can’t handle opposing points of view, but stop and think for a moment. There are people who feel the same about your points of view and are just entitled to express their opinions. Yes, I am sure a lot of this is boring, but no more boring than about rows about JWP, Les Reed, Gao etc. People have different opinions about football, politics, life and will express them in the pub or on Internet forums or where ever people congregate. If you don’t like it that much, find something that suits you better for your own peace of mind. | | | |

The cynic in me saw this interview as part of a PR campaign to justify a decision on his part to move to a big club overseas. That Liverpool background of being the victim etc. He was pilloried for his last move, his agent isn’t stupid, probably doesn’t want that hassle again. | |

Where would he go? Madrid? I would that there is as much racism in Spain/La Liga as there is the UK/Premier League. | | | |
This BLM bollocks on 10:03 - Jun 9 with 3667 views | Wints76 | I think we are broadly in agreement. Being in an echo chamber where everyone agrees with you is not healthy, but when every conversation gets turned round to politics, or things get so tribal that someone is jumped on whatever point they make as their politics are different, then it gets very dull. And it goes both ways. There are funny people on here, but when every thread ends up being the exact same argument, they get diluted | | | |

I guess he could go to Madrid, Paris or Turin. All of which are arguably as potentially volatile. | |

As an outsider, I find it amazing that you all support the same club therefore having something very special connecting you all that should over ride politics etc. But the lack of compassion, consideration or even respect for each other over the past year or so and in particular the past few difficult months is grim. It’s been about oneupmanship, winners and losers etc and is quite ugly. | | | |

Cant disagree with any of that Wints, I'm all for balanced debate, it just gets hijacked and turned into political point scoring. The distraction of a behind closed doors saints match is actually very appealing all of a sudden, and I 100% didn't feel that way previously. | |

The need for some to awake each morning and instantly find anything remotely negative to post on here became mind numbing, and the use of covid victims as pawns was/is disgusting. The instant labelling of racist/Nazi towards posters has also been saddening and pathetic. And now we will have to carry the ridiculous label of privileged for our skin colour...its politically correct madness | |

You may have seen that some of those who had expressed views that could be classed as racist have gone, this is not just me but the network due to an ongoing issue that I am not at liberty to discuss that has been going on for several years. Sadly this means there can be no leeway, I have always believed in freedom of speech, this board has never been about my opinions, but about others, I have always hoped that the board would police itself but that hasn't been the case, people have been abused and it now has to stop. As a site we are doing our bit, but it is still always about the members, if you are being shouted down that is unacceptable, report it as abuse or if it is really serious contact me directly. I am sick to death of political arguing, in recent years it has all become personal, I am sick to death myself of being lectured at on social media, sick to death of being told if I vote for one party or another I am scum etc etc. There are people out there trying to get this site shut down, so the question I ask you all are you going to be part of the problem or are you going to be part of the solution by helping me. Dont get embroiled in the endless debates with those who you know aren't listening, put up football threads and join in them, change the mindset of this board. | |

"There are people out there trying to get this site shut down." This is something that we all need to bear in mind. Any excuse and they are going to complain to any authority they think can help them achieve that goal. In the current political climate, anything that can be construed as being even vaguely racist is going to help them.. That is the stark truth of the matter. | |

The biggest cause of divide is all of us, those looking to divide us and those who are playing into their hands and letting it happen. There are people on both sides of the political spectrum in both groups | |

Nick you have always been fair and balanced (apart from your deep love of anything liverpool relatedðŸ˜) and I would obviously choose to be part of the solution ( that word triggers rage in some posters) I have had long spells absent from the site in the last couple of years due to finding some posters intentionally reducing every thread into tedious spats. As always this site and you, will always have my respect support | |
