Then don’t go looking for rumours and moan when there aren’t any… you can’t have it both ways Think you are mistaking me for someone else. I neither crave rumours or criticise those who offer them. I may comment; but it is VERY rare I criticise a poster for it, then only when it is blatantly nonsen...

Just as the ball was being crossed for our second goal Forster shoved Cork out of the way . Think a penalty would have given before the offside that was appealed for. In the second half it happened again but instead of awarding a penalty the ref had a word with Forster. He didn’t shove Cork again. ...

Tragic day for Oldham. Sad day for football in general.

Still paying for the Government U-turn on making it “Vegas of the North”.

I get all that and it’s all valid. It just ruins the experience for all, and means the club shut doors that should be at least partly open. Agree - but it is an open forum, not a Board mouthpiece. The only answer is a large ‘clique’ black-balling others on mass; which would be equally troublesome. ...

Exactly, it’s not rocket science

No its no different to Tittle-tattle, unless the poster can be identified as having credible sources (in their own right) in the first place. Then everything you say is expected to be ‘gospel’ or you get a backlash.

elwaclaret

You’re judging the information that’s given to you. Not one person would give up a ‘source’. The insistence that people have to justify information with a ‘name’ that they feel they can trust doesn’t make sense to me 🤷🏻‍♂️ I suggest you never attempt writing an academic paper if that is the case.

I am not saying or pointing at anyone in particular, especially on this board but there was a worrying link between meetings and then information being in given out. Trust is a two way process.

Maybe not, but he does carry responsibility
