I appreciate many on here were not even born when he was playing and, in some cases, their parents probably weren’t either, but, for goodness sake; not only was he (in my opinion) the greatest City player in living memory, but we also have a stand named after him. Digressing slightly, but he should also have been the player with the most appearances, and no doubt would have been were it not for some disgraceful shenanigans at the end of LC’s career.

pongo88 Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 It must be Ian Gay. Sorry if he has been mentioned before. I like Roy de Alien because it’s obviously total rubbish but Ian Gay actually profess to know what he’s talking about 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersonic Robin Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 When people spell the names of players incorrectly (e.g. Wieman, Kallas, Massengo etc) People suggesting ridiculously over-simplistic solutions as though the players/manager/club haven't thought about it. (e.g. "Scoring goals is simple.....get it out wide and put crosses in the box. Why can't Pearson see this?") People that get annoyed at the manager for "being too boring in interviews" or "just standing there in games". I assume these people are confusing the roles of a football manager and a court jester? People with no ambition for the club. (e.g. "a club like us should be happy to just be in the Championship". *proceeds to watch Brentford win 4-0 against Man U in the Premier League*). Anyone that unironically suggests pay as you play contracts for older injury prone players who we clearly can't afford. Excessive use of the word "proven" when talking about signing players. Especially "proven 20 goal per season strikers". Posting updates from random and irrelevant games in the match day threads. ("Tranmere have just gone 1 up against Gillingham". Okay???). This also includes updates on Bristol Rovers games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Porto Red Posted August 14, 2022 Report Share Posted August 14, 2022 Risible modern attempts at making new swearwords, such as "cockwomble" and "wankpuffin". These make me want to punch the user really hard in the face, for some reason. Other than that, nothing really bothers me. I'm a Zen #&£@#&£@#&#.

Wanderingred Posted August 15, 2022 Report Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) I really really hate it on match threads when we concede and there are about 30 messages consisting only of “balls” “ffs” and “bollox” There’s no need for it, we all know what’s happened and it clogs up the thread, making it more difficult to read the actual discussion. Score updates from other games also annoy me, unless it’s one that’s particularly relevant and accompanied by an actual discussion.

You can turn signatures off in settings so you don't have to see them at all. For me, there are some of these that seem strange that someone would have a problem with i.e. The Gate. What's wrong with that?!? And other things that are simply common phrases like "early doors" etc are pretty harmless. But what astonishes me more is the lack of annoyance with the improper use of the word "of", as in "could of", "should of", "would of" etc...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
