Matt is alot of things but I don't think drama queen is one of them. There's literally people on this forum that act hard and say shite like they'll meet anyone down the pub for "a chat" then block themselves from seeing someone's posts because they don't agree with them.

Finnegan Posted 15 July 2019 Share Posted 15 July 2019 (edited) I block a lot of people's posts because I don't want to see them tbh. Best feature on the site. I don't have the enthusiasm for arguing with people on the internet anymore. I used to endlessly as a kid, just ask @Jon the Hat. But I know I'm still prone to get sucked in. I'd say, as I've aged I've gotten no less fiery and easily triggered, I've just learned to check myself a bit more before I run my mouth (or fingers in this case) off. Occasionally I'll write out a whole ranty response to something, catch myself and just scrap it. Sometimes I'll post it anyway but I'm much better than I was. Blocking people I know have views that are just consistently going to wind me up is just better for my sanity and probably theirs tbf. I've never offered to fight someone though mind. I don't think they'd take it seriously if I did. Edited 15 July 2019 by Finnegan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a feeling it might have been on Facebook I don't think he signed up on here, I could be wrong though my memory is appalling. But Mablo definitely got under his skin yeah. Sheehan was a bit of an in joke on here largely because of Thracian. Thracian used to have a habit of convincing himself that all of our academy players were future world cup winners and we should play them more often. He'd act like he'd personally scouted them all and was some youth football expert. The abuse of Sheehan (and Louis "best finisher at the club" Dodds) was less really abuse of Sheehan and more just banter between Thracian and what he called the "Swan Lestas", an alleged clique of Foxestalk piss takers that were very active on here circa 03/04/05. But I guess if you're a young footballer in the early days of social media and forums and you're googling yourself and reading all that constant abuse its probably easy to take it personally. Think he's the only one that ever bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I survived toddy's meltdown when he started spewing molten crazy around the place like a Grebfromgrebland on smack, don't think anything could top that.

Although tbf, my participation on this site is mostly lurking anyways. Maybe I'm just not committed enough to care? I am just very, very easily triggered. For clarity, I'd say I'm pretty remarkably thick skinned and hard to offend. When I say wound up, I don't mean upset. I don't think I've ever been particularly upset or offended by anything that's ever been posted on here. I guess provoked is the right word. I'm the same in real life, my friends know exactly how to provoke a rant from me and tend to set me off for sport. I just tend to get passionate about things that really probably aren't worth being passionate about, such as whether or not some idiot on here is still trying to defend Puel's tenure. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, without the correct aircraft that isn't going to be fired anywhere. However, how about selling it on to a country that does have that kind of aircraft (contravening arms regulations) for a tidy profit and using the proceeds to buy things that you can fire in the way you like at people you don't like?
