I know the majority of people red cross for the right reasons ie disagreeing with the poster, but there are also a percentage who just do it out of spite or to get a reaction, and they are the ones who want outing.

By all means keep the ticks/crosses/gold stars but make it viewable as to who has done what, that way those who are habitual red crossers cant hide behind their nom de plume.

As I said, most people are genuine with their reasons, but for those who red cross posts about raising money for charities or about fans/players we have lost seriously need their heads looking at, and to know who they are would be a plus so their anonymity is no more.

Message to the habitual red crossers....feel free to have your 10 seconds of spitefulness. I turned mine off a long time ago so your efforts are needless.

Quoted from Hagrid
When i see that Fette Schlange has posted, I red cross whatever it is

If your so bothered, turn them off.


Maybe that was tongue in cheek but doesn't it demonstrate what the original poster was referring to -nothing to do with the content of the post but the poster.

Be good to see who was doing the ticking, like we can with the reputation scores.

Not sure what the fuss is all about here. The ticks and crosses allow you to show you agree or disagree with a post, and are far easier to share your view than having to write a full post, or even clog up the thread with a series of short replies saying Agree or Disagree.

For those who don’t like them, they can be turned off.

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles


I think some posters are a little on edge at present about the lack of centre midfielders so I wouldn’t take it personally. It’s nothing to worry about though as we will sign someone - be it loan or perm.

I had a minor meltdown on the non-football forum the other day and I can sense that Humbercod is very upset about missing out on Dom Telford.



Couple the lack of centre mids with no away or third strip being available in the club shop and you've got a bonfire of adult tears erupting into this absolute fury.

Life would be a pretty boring arena if we all agreed with each other or just played the ‘party card’ in order to maintain the status quo.  Disagreement is a perfectly natural human trait so why not have a means of conveying opinion without having to confront, which many are too polite to do?

Reaction to negative opinion is what matters.  In relation to our great club I think we can all agree that we’ve witnessed at first hand just how destructive refusal to accept criticism has been.  Appreciate that it’s still relatively early days but what we’re witnessing now is an acceptance that without constructive criticism, positive change is never realised.

The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
I jokingly remarked  'I don't know whether to spend it watching porn or watching football'
'you may as well spend it watching porn' she replied
That's understanding darling what makes you say that? I asked

She said 'Well you already know how to play football'

To balance the "Gold Star" maybe we should have a "Golden Loser"
