This is not aimed at any one individual but I thought I would make a point about a particular bugbear of mine.

 

I find it staggering to see how many posts in the Ticket News and Travel section are so lacking in basic good manners.

 

I was brought up to know that if I was asking for a favour or help from someone, then I should start/end my sentence with a please or thank you,  or even a cheers.

 

But most of the requests I see on here are more often than not "looking for a spare, DM me and will meet at the ground" or "anyone got space for two in their car to an away match or airport?" with no thought of a please or thank you.

 

We have a decent community on here in the main who share some good information and a lot of posters are willing to help others when possible.

 

Wanted to put it out there as just food for thought. Puts tin hat on! :ph34r:

 

Thank you. :)

 

Mate, it’s the 21st Century, manners are for old farts like me who still push’s my missus’s chair in to make sure she’s seated comfortably at restaurants. Since I joined the forum eight years ago, the hatred and nasty comments has increased massively. 
 

Quite a few of the old timers on here don’t post anymore, because if you try and do a reasoned point of view, you get slaughtered. Called “sheep”, “old”, “out of touch” etc. 


This forum is not for all fans anymore, just the militant few who don’t like certain players, clackers, goal music etc. All desperate to complain about anything. The other 30000 fans are always wrong. 
 

Sorry to have a moan, but this is can be a miserable forum. Shame really.

This thread is like my marriage, one side constantly on the wind up, the other having a crisis and threatening to leave.

This might be the most naive thread I've seen started on here, which is great because me posting a photo of myself with Claudio Ranieri was previously the most naive on the forum. I got photoshopped to death! 😂

I’ve had my face photoshopped on about 40 penguins before mate, par for the course.

 

@Izzy there is demand for this picture

I reread my message for a pair of Newcastle tickets and I was very polite thank you very much.

 

So I decided I deserve them so can someone share the love and sort me out please when they are on sale? Please and thank you again :D

Have to consult the etiquette panel on that one.

Mainly the sort of responses I expected to be fair. No offence taken, just reflects the diminishing standards in our society as a whole.

 

I will carry on saying please and thank you when I'm communicating and I ask for something.

 

I do understand that this is a forum and that talk can be informal. Thanks.

I feel your pain. It seems to be for efficiency reasons  rather than out of bad manners.
