Do you not think that makes a difference though, when you actually know some of the people not just a message board persona? Some people seem to like to live in their "st helens" or "leeds" bubble (or any other club) rather than remembering that we are all just normal people who support a great game, the only difference is the team we have chosen to support.

Of course there is nothing wrong with a bit of banter everyone takes part in it and its what makes the game great but some people just take it too far.

The way I see it is people do model themselves (or is it just me?) on something as been some kind of alias/persona on here. A the end of the day its nothing new is it? You’ll have to blame Sacha baron Cohen for making it really popular who puts himself in embarrassing situations for the amusement of others.



Another one is Dom Jolly. One of my favourites of his is Depressed Goth from the television show World Shut Your Mouth where he go talks to old folk in the park about how depressing his life is. Check it out on that infamous site!

Personally my persona on here is an idiot trying to break into the cliques but he never does. Oh I also model myself on this guy who puts himself across a very small minded individual! -

ive said before the world cup was awesome for this and by far the best thing about the trip(kiwi's winning was pretty awesome too) the banter was first class with fans from all clubs! and to be honet i met a lot of nice saints fans.

but you cant beat a bit of grudge during the season. as long as it dosent end up in fights at the games. this is something that always gets to me when i hear of it. theres just no need

did you actually read the point of this thread?

(In southstander mode)

Do you have any ID?

Now you see I am in a dilemna because I wholeheartedly support the sentiment behind your entire post.

I really like St helens and its' supporters. I've friends who live there and often stand in the pop stand for our away games.

But I can't really post what i am about to without diverting away from your sentiment a little but feel I need to.

Just have a read through Stirlingshire Saints contributions on [ithis very[/i thread. Then imagine how much worse it is when its' posting on Southstander this past fortnight (and indeed all last summer when you took over at the top of the table).

Sadly, I feel I let myself down this past week and sank to its' level. I must admit i found it amusing when King Monkey made it cry by referencing its' public mental breakdown and I am usually bigger than that.

So, to all bar Stirlingshire Saint, if I offended you this past week with my forthright opinions I apologise. I hope we can enjoy further discourse in the build up to this Sunday's game, a game I am anticipating more than any in some of my lengthy time watching RL, and indeed afterwards, even if that discourse involves exchanging vastly different opinions.

This is why we've decided to jointly take the stance between both sites that anyone continually causing disruption will be given a short break from both team's boards at this time. We're not naive enough not to recognise that there are Saints 'trolls' just like from every other team and funnily enough it was Stirlingshire who has been the first to spit the dummy at the warnings posted on both sites.

Unfortunatley as TM-TL suggested to me earlier, sometimes it isn't the trolls that are necessarily the problem but those foolish enough to repeatedly bite.

Is this some kind of joke ?

Your very moderator posted to me along the lines of recognising the difference between light hearted banter and name calling etc. I suggest you heed the advice as well. It was also admitted by your mod that on your board, insults, foul language and general taking the mickey is condoned despite this being the very cause of the problems last week. To quote I was told 'accept it or leave'. What kind of an attitude is that ?

I would like to point out that initially I intended nothing more than genuine debate about the game of rugby and aimed not to get involved in the usual nonsense but frankly the same trio on your board (which includes yourself) drag everything down. One of your trio insulted someones wife a couple of days ago and then you lot have the nerve to play the holier than thou attitude. I have been insulted regarding something nothing to do with any of you and there is even a thread on the redvee board about the attitude of Leeds supporters nowadays. To be perfectly honest, the unsavoury characters on southstander keep people away from your board so you lot can continue your 'love in'.

Finally, I echo your comments regarding the game coming up. I, too am looking forward to the game immensely and hope there are no further issues between the 2 sets of supporters.

You're a total wind up as well.

My problem is the lack of consistency in approach. For instance, I had a post removed on here for questioning whether this new policy would work and questioning the moderation process on either sites. Following that, I had a full and frank debate with the Leeds mod and was told that they condone pretty much anything even though it is this approach that caused the problems last week. Effectively on one board anything goes whilst on the other barely anything goes.

I prefer the more lenient attitude however not to the extent that southstander allows. How on earth insults, wind ups and foul language can be thrown around by any Leeds supporter and claimed as just banter is beyond me. I enjoy a wind up, I don't enjoy insults or foul language and would seriously question how it could be condoned on any board. Hiding behind the 'light hearted banter' is just nonsense.

Ban him he's trying to aggravate me!



Back on topic I’m really looking forward next week for one big reason. Me and my cousin are going to have a day of it before he goes off to Canada with the army. I’ll be with a mate at the game also. We’ll be in Headingley around 1pm and leave around 12am depending on the mood after the game (yes I can be a bad sport sometimes but that’s why I’m absent on here when Leeds have beat you in the two grand finals as I know what its like when emotions are high). This is what a rugby league spectator experience is all about and should be!

You’ll all be glad to know I’m not doing any more lists!

I see this has been forgotten and the usual numbskulls are out in force

Does this help our strained relations at all?

No.

But if you change your avatar to an undoctered and non-pi££ taking picture of James Graham or the St Helens logo it might.

Its not James Graham it’s the guy from only fools and horses who can’t say his or’s right!

Loz was so excited about the game that he kept doing this stupid dance all night last night....
