As 'the sage of the board' ...I'd advise you to get stuffed

Why thank you


On the subject of James Rule what's your thoughts on his actions in Gleesongate.
Your giving the impression you feel it shouldnt be commented on by Rovers fans,yet there are threads about it on several other teams boards

I'll toss them up, you knock 'em out of the park.

No you don't.
Each thread is judged on its own merits.
A Peacock thread would be good,nice to see some positive news after the games name has been dragged through the mud.

My thoughts are indeed plural, so I take it you mean "what are". I've posted them a lot on the FC board. A lot. They are really 2 fold. The first one I can't post on here because of Anakin Skywalker - he would simply edit even though I eluded the swear filter. The 2nd is why on earth would he bother. Like Rovers, FC were utterly anonymous and pointless mid-table fodder last year and early casualties in the CC. Abundantly clear to everyone that absolutely nothing was at stake, so why he risked his career on a knackered and troublesome centre is baffling.



No, I don't. The very recent widening of subject matter on here to include anything and everything RL related, which is clearly [uentirely[/u coincidental with the recent dramas at FC is new information. Why, only a couple of days ago, MrPhilb's thread on the same topic was locked by your fellow moderator instantly. On FC's board we can't even discuss ex players without lockage. I am pleased to see a broadening of horizons heralded by the bad news at Hull FC this week. Perhaps whilst we're at it, we could post more stuff about Rovers too, fans' thoughts on the Steering Group and its output, perhaps, stuff like that. It's all good.

Tbh, I thought Kosh's closing comment here was the gold standard moderating stance - a thread about the Willie Mason debacle on the FC board, for clarity.

"Wrong board. To discuss implications for Rovers use their board; to discuss implications for wider game use the VT."

Cooke and his rovers downfall
Mason signing
Dobbo de-registering
Mason de-registering
mason leaving
Cockayne
Watts
east stand extension
talapoop signing
talapoop released a few weeks later

Interesting, sadly the first 4 are all the same thing much as the bottom two are as well



But nice try, one day we may be as embarrassing as Hull FC

I can see you are upset. But look on the bright side, Mr Rule left you with year on year profits. Granted he didn't pay all of the bills but that's no biggie, you keep telling us we don't pay any bills but it's worked out alright for us. You didn't even need a fairy Egyptian godmother because you got Lord Faulkner

Me and my grammer eh still you understood what I said.
Will your lasting memory of Rule be this incident or his preening of himself and everything that was Grade A at Hull FC?
As has been said twice already threads are judged individually and MR deemed Philip to have been a wee bit naughty.
The Steering Group would generate good debate I agree.
Nice you have ideas on how this board might be moderated but of course ultimately that's not in your hands.

At least he made up with David before he died.


We made a million quid under Rule, I think. We owe it all and more to the taxman. So we're bankrupt, humiliated and have cancelled our camp. Rovers will win the derbies by a combined margin of 100+, I think you'll agree.

I think its unfair the way you guys are bullying Mrs B,how do i report it,do i PM a mod ?

And your spelling. It's "grammar".


I don't know really. He certainly didn't preen himself, he looked a right tramp with that beard. I quite liked the fact he bothered to do Airlie Night tbh. At least we could do the BS bingo card and saw it for what it was. Unfulfilled promises, I guess, that seemed to characterise KCFM and its rugby programming.




Good. I like MR a lot, he shows good judgement.




This is [unot[/u the unoffical board, and I claim my £5.




I should blooming hope not. Just pointing out that Kosh posted what I think we previously thought was the party line in relation to threads started on FC's board re Rovers last major cock-up, Willie Mason. Just pointing out the slightly different approaches. Best practice, you might say. As long as we're all clear, we're all clear

Is that how it is being perceived?
Im just asking a couple of questions really and clearing up a couple of moderation issues.

Clear as.
So did you agree with Johnny Whiteley and his views on Gleesongate?

Kosh is a good one, tell him.

I do like you PAC, sympathetic [uand[/u a man of your word. Integrity.

I do hope James Clark who was an integral part of the KCFM coverage and who holds a significant position at Hull FC doesn't take offence to that comment,he was proud of Airlie Night

Not sure what there is there to disagree with:
"To think they did this behind everyone's back is a slur on the club. But people survive hurricanes and earthquakes, so Hull can certainly survive this.

The world doesn't stop because of three silly people.It doesn't do FC any favours, but we are a close-knit community. We have been let down, but it has been nipped in the bud now.

It festered, but it wasn't prevalent. A lot of the lads didn't know this had gone on. There is always going to be bad fruit in the basket, but they have gone now. It will stick for a while, but people will have common sense and get back to reality.

There is a refreshing new start at Hull FC and there is already a vast difference in the approach and attitude in the new regime.

Everything isn't all doom and gloom – the future is very positive."

Apart from the last bit. Clearly with the training camp being cancelled and the consequent loss of the first pre season friendly, we won't get off to a great start, but who can really predict what the season holds? Apart from Mike Smith, obviously.

He [ushould[/u be proud. Anyone who manages to eulogise so extensively about the positives of a team scraping only 7th/8th and failing in the CC [ushould[/u feel like they've achieved something, even if it is mild delusion.

Why do my posts not register?

Try again. Love a bicker thread me. I think Mr Fivebellies is pushing it counting Mason as 4 embarrassments (too many r's or s's there, I fear). A big one, but just a one nonetheless. Only thing better than a bicker thread, and by 'only' I clearly mean one of many hundreds, is a Cooke thread and I see he's still getting a namecheck. 5 years ago in April - doesn't time fly? We'll have to mark it somehow. In fact, I think I have an idea...

Anyway, good clean fun, no precedent I'm afraid Mrs B, but I/we have let references to Cockayne go and those have been nipping my dome for months, so it isn't pain free. He's at ing Wakey now for 's sake. Just saying. It was RBA who locked Philb's thread, btw.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've not even had a drink.

Quality control


I miss him. Hypocrisy was so on-trend in 2007. Good times.




Well, we have a bit. Previously we were working to "Kosh's law", where you posted about another club's issues on their board and implications for the wider game on the VT. The relaxation of the last 2 days, coincidental with a debacle at FC or not, muddies the waters, for sure. I'm sure we can rely on consistency throughout the collective consciousness of the Rovers moderation massive.


There you are, interchangeable, you see.

No bickering MR.
I posted on Page 6 that James Rule was full of BS on the radio and by Page 9 Mrs B agreed.
Good darts game on now so will bid u goodnight

It's it Marfa Manus face or Jamie Sandys tonight?

Never seen wind affected darts before!

Thread "drift" ?

Weren't they just? All luvved up tonight.






That was discussed. But you know how people are always demanding that referees behave consistently and apply the rules with common sense, even though the two are contradictory? This is flexible interpretation. Which is very differrent to hypocrisy.


More seriously, it is being monitored.



Booooo! Good night.
