I've posted on the TIW site as well as on here for some time but I can't help notice that a lot of the time on the other board my postings get completely ignored..
Just using today as an example I posted two comments which no-one commented on that I thought would have drawn more comment.. a more regular poster brings up the same thing two or three posts later on and the frenzy begins..





What am I doing wrong??

I know I don't do any of the following:-
Make a comment about players being back in two weeks when they are injured
make a comment about owen craigies relationship with Macdonalds if one of our players looks a little unfit
I don't start score threads

Maybe I should start...
Only constructive criticism will be taken..

Paranoid from Stockton Heath

I frequent the boards under a secret pseudonym and I get exactly the same treatment, except when I post something that goes totally against the grain on there

There does seem to be an old boys mentality there, because so many refugees end up here with serious gripes. I've not had those problems myself, and I can say I don't actually personally know anyone on there but it happens.

This is a friendlier board overall, with not so many whingers who think just because the club isn't winning everything that we're rubbish and not worth following.

There are some good guys on the other board. I met the poster Alan C when I went to Blackpool for the NRC final and he was a thoroughly decent bloke. I just think there needs to be a bit more positivity and a bit less of a closed shop.

Anyway, don't know what you're moaning about, you found this place didn't you?

TBH i browse it without posting mainly because i was banned for calling Adam Hughes rubbish many moons back. People do tend to go overboard with comments though and if you want to be depressed then that's the place to go. People always look for excuses after poor performances, this year isnt anything to do with fitness thats for sure, most of our players are in tip top condition except Duffy (who always looks a pound or two overweight).


Just ignore them mate and continue to post on here.

What's your user name? Perhaps us lot on RL fans could form our own little clique on there, if we were a little more consistent with our user names.

Cheers one and all...

To be honest I am more at home on this board and have frequented both for a long time..

I completely agree that this is a much much friendlier board and I do enjoy the craic..

I suppose I just think back to how the other board used to be in it's halcyon days long before when Gary and Chris used to run the thing.

It's funny you should mention meeting up because there have been quite a few times when I have thought that must be Dalton or VM and nearly made my way over to introduce myself but I never do... I'll be honest I have no idea what Pepe or BYB might look like..

Anyway.. that's reassuring chaps so thanks once again. Oh and I post as Chris B on the other board just in case we want to start our own clique..








Cheers
Chris

I look like trouble

I think we should organise a meet up under the north stand, Dave has already agreed to buy everyone a pint.

You're not on your own there! The only good thing the present one has over the old board is the amateur section. I don't know whose idea that was, but it was a good one.

I enjoy the TIW forum.I go there just to read the sensible contributions of Scooby,Pepe,Vikings4ever and other's.I know what you mean though IET,some valid point's do seem to get by-passed whereas as soon as Spelly or that army bloke posts something,no matter how inane,their legion of suck holer's respond en-masse.

Some good posters on there, honest and intelligent fans. But then you have people who seem stuck in the 70s and a great deal of illiterate kids which is just annoying.

I've never posted on there.

Simply because I tried to register 3 or 4 time and never got approved.

Last time I registered I did get approved, but by that time I couldn't be d with it. Its a shame because alot of the people I go games with are registered on there and not here.

Sounds like an idea though my match fitness is doubtful this week as i've been struck down with swine flu

Stay well away and spread it around Warrington dude

Oh so that's who you are!



Not sure which category I fall into on TIW



We do seem to get more than our fair share of whingers who think because we are Widnes we have a divine right to win everything and press the panic button as soon as something goes wrong. But that's fans for you.

I hope I'm never nasty to anyone.

I'd say you're one of the people whose opinion is worth reading.

Crap for a wind up on TIW as well

Yep..



that's me!!
I keep plugging away but my posts normally seem invisible on there.. the one mate I do have that's a Widnes fan (worded so as not to give the impression that I am friendless) laughs his ass off that I get ignored so much..
To be honest I have the utmost respect for people like yourself that still regularly get to games despite the obstacles in your way..especially when so many from the town 'can't be bothered due to our current standing'. There was another guy from Portsmouth that used to post on there that made it for most home games although I expect he finds it harder to attend these days. Simply outstanding..
Plus your opinion is normally reasonable and sound..
There are quite a few whingers on there but every club has them and a lot of kids but.. I'm glad that there are so many kids that post on there as it shows that the interest is continuing.. it would be worrying if there were just legible, soundly reasoned posts from 20 somethings up I guess

Very good section that one well done
Who ever it was

You should be easy to spot then... blanket over the knees and drinking a cup of hot bovril

To be honest it might be a good laugh to have a get together at some point... although some people can be a little bit funny about protecting their anonymity.

It might be the only way that I get to talk to someone face to face that has an appreciation of Garth Merengue's Dark Place..

TIW is full of pompus moran's alot of the time who prefer to crticise people's spellings and views rather than discuss the game itself (there's my ban

) Yes some decent posts and also decent info comes through sometimes but others go on just to whinge about the person next to them slurping a drink to loudly



Even big Greg Peck got rejected as he thought the Doran / Kohe Love deals where bad business! Shockingly now LV who banned hims seem's to agree with those statements... Very odd!

Porridge? I think I know what's going on here....

Could you..ever love a monkey Liz??
