Am I allowed to get involved?

Of course, but why did you get involved in this instance?

Nothing wrong with me but it is something @Bobledgersheart told him about 17 times and he ignored it

That's between them, then. There's absolutely no need to get involved, and I have no idea why you do.

Or maybe as people told you before the meet the manager, when you were moaning, that some of the youth train with the first team along with most of those on loan. 

Is there something wrong? Knock it on the head will you.

Thanks! 

 

@Matt Something worth your thoughts here mate.

 

 

As this is classed as social media these days, not BBS or whatever, I think it comes under that umbrella. So, OWTB doesn't own the content anyone posts. OWTB provides a platform, and that's it.

Another example of how teams evolve, as they are now called The New Saints, and have been since the mid-2000's.

Ackchyually...

The New Saints of Oswestry Town & Llansantffraid FC, or simply Y Seintiau Newydd.

Totally unrelated.

 

But Bender if you’re reading this can you start the Newport away thread please. (It kinda feels like your job now )

 

It’s been a very quiet week on here, and I need to talk some bollocks about the team again. 

@Bender does what he does, I can't control it. The last time I asked for some updated stats he demanded extra liquor, then told me to go bone myself.

Would you like me to sort out that moniker for you?

Thanks for the reminder, been meaning to do this. Just paid the £3.50 and no adds. Couple of questions sorry. 
 

Does this renew automatically each month ?

 

Are we limited on upvotes ? I see paying gives me 50. Never noticed it was restricted. 

Yes it will renew. There is a limit, but it's just a little extra - I don't think anyone can upvote that much without getting cramp.

Thanks for your support.

Think I pay each month but still get the ads ?

Hi @Bobledgersheart please recheck your paypal if you still want to contribute, currently you're on the normal plan. Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone,

Just a periodic reminder that as a website we do have to display a certain amount of adverts to help with the upkeep of site - we try our very best to limit the exposure and to keep the intrusiveness down to a bare minimum. We also understand that nagging you to death to disable those adblockers isn't something that would help with your experience of OWTB.

There is another way.

We have a subscription available that, for a small monthly cost, can do away with those irritating ads. It helps us, and it gives you an ad free OWTB that doesn't require you to use an adblocker. All the details are below:

https://www.owtb.co.uk/subscriptions/

If you don't want to do that, that's fine too - everyone is welcome and it's all completely free to carry on as you are.

While I'm here, just a big thanks to everyone for visiting and contributing and posting and subscribing and donating, it all helps.

Thanks,

OWTB Team.

Keep the Faith.

purely selfishly is there any way of making top scorers like James Norwood (3)

the above chart is my only knowlege of our opponents or the league we play in!

dont know who is top or bottom (southend?) and l keep forgettin rochdale are down here

Hi Monty, not sure what you're asking for. @Bender scrapes info from th'internet and just posts up what is found. We had a belter of a website to grab data from in the EFL but it didn't extend that service into the National Leagues and below.

If its me, I can assure you I am pressing it by mistake. 

It's okay, nothing ever gets done anyway.

I find it hard to believe that anyone would report you. It's not like you are abusing other posters. It should be quite easy to take some of your posts with a pinch of salt. 

You wouldn't believe us if we told you who uses the report function the most.

Whose opinion do you take when you do ban someone then?

You've got be a real piece of work to get booted off for good. Some say we're too harsh, other say not enough - there's one user who has had more reports against them than anyone else. They still post.

I know it’s an open forum but please can you suspend his account ? He literally does nothing but respond to my posts to wind me up, amongst others. I know I could block him, but it’s best for all just for him to be banned if he persists. It’s blatant trolling on a consistent basis. 

Just ignore - we're not going to kick someone off just because they're irritating, in someone's opinion.

Have you really blocked someone unless you tell everyone you've blocked them 18 times a day? (I realise I'm one of the lucky ones to be blocked by you btw)

Is there any chance you can stop the antagonism and wind ups for a day or so? Ta.

I appreciate everyone's emotions are running high, but please keep it civil - there are plenty of other places that you can be nasty *x - cough* but we'd rather keep the debate on the topic side of things rather than just calling each other names either directly, or as sub-text. 

Cheers.

Plenty of swearing on here. Is what it fucking is

There is - which is understandable, then there's a comment like that which doesn't need to have any. It's not even mildly amusing.

Or was there a separate series before this one called Bunch of Amateurs?

Bunch of Amateurs started by following Barks around first at Charlewood - which was superb. Later, the Dorking and Marc White series started.

BoA have series on Charlewood, Holland Sports FC, Dorking and starting this season, Walton and Hersham in Surrey.

I can recommend watching them all, they're brilliant.

but it literally did make me go wow and laugh and think it was brilliant!!  but yeah, then l didnt back come on the thread for 18 hours so you were right!!

Yeah, everyone is a bit upset and everyone's upset a bit differently - it's just maddening that people all want the best for the club, sometimes with a difference - but no-one deserves to be insulted on here, no matter what they say. Ignorance is always the best option on the internet.
