kellys_discopants Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) I don't think that the position he held was especially challenging - OK? And you know what the position itself fully entails? Hmm i think not. Tbh, i dont see much arse-licking, i just see people thanking Stu for all his hard-work and wishing him well in his new job.

Beardy Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Even so, people actually know Stu and the work he puts in, i dont see why you feel the need to belittle him? I for one, wouldnt have a clue were to start with a website and putting the LW vids online, and yes there is probably some easy way to do it, that doesnt take away all the effort he puts in.

Rick Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 And yet by calling someone who's worked tirelessly for the club for three years a Webmonkey is exceptionally patronising and incredibly rude. What do you do for a living Rick? Want us to come to the people who deal with your output and mock you? No? OK. Oi Mr Administrator. Read back on my posts. I am not calling him a WebMonkey, I am calling into question the skills that you need to be able to do the job that everyone is lauding about so much. What do I do for a living? What has it got to do with you? Does my job effect you and your interaction with the football club? No it doesn't. Don't make this personal - I have a right to my opinion just like everyone else does - just because I don't rate someone's output (due to personal experience) doesn't mean that I have to agree with everyone else. Lots of people on here are saying that we'll miss him - I don't see it personally. Simples Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 One thing away fans use to commend is that the reports were very objective, where reports on other club's OS's tend to take swipes and jibes at the opposition if there is controversy. Stu remained very fair, unbiased and no childish swipes with his reports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 apply then..its a doodle. IYO. I would LOVE to work for the club. It is something that I would really enjoy. Unfortunately, when I have spoken with people at the club before, the club would not be able to afford to pay the wages that I am earning currently. I am not being big headed or anything as like I say, I'd love to be able to make a difference to my club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Granted Rick, certainly I (being the OP) wasn't arsekissing so much. I was acknowledging that he did a decent job and wish him all the best. As for not especially challenging, well I think it's a unique role, in that you're required to work during hours when most other similar jobs don't and like someone else has said, when you look at a lot of the other sites in the leagues ours is better by far. Granted that it is not a 9 to 5 job Jay and he probably worked lots of hours, many other jobs are similarly not 9 to 5 either. I just think that everyone is going OTT.

Lots of people on here are saying that we'll miss him - I don't see it personally. Simples You suggested he could be replaced by a Webmonkey - thus insinuating he's a Webmonkey. It was derogatory. You're entitled to your opinion and I'm happy for you to say something along the lines of your "I don't think that the position he held was especially challenging" comment. But you took it too far too fast. It was uncalled for. "Lots of people on here are saying that we'll miss him - I don't see it personally." is another perfectly acceptable statement. You just seemed to be being rude when you clearly have the ability to get your point across without being so. It's well known that Stu reads this board and it was, IMO, out of order.

OminousPoultry Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Don't make this personal - I have a right to my opinion just like everyone else does exactly.

kellys_discopants Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I just think that everyone is going OTT. What by saying good luck? No-ones gone OTT at all. People have said they`ll miss him and the work he does, which is fair. As said the sites quality deteriorates when he is`nt around, hardly going OTT.

razza699 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 So is anyone on here going to apply for the job? Think you've got what it takes to fill the shoes of the Oldham Athletic WebMonkey position? What skills do you reckon you'd need? APART from being able to type and use a spell checker? Don't make this personal - Yet you did insulting Stu calling him a webmonkey?
