What happens to Crosby87?

**tricky_colour** · 13/05/2016, 2:59 AM

Disappointed to see he has been banned.

**DeLorean** · 13/05/2016, 8:23 AM

Me too. It all seemed very sudden. Yeah, 95, okay 99% of his posts were off topic but I don't think it ever really led to chaos or anything. I know it's easy for me to say as I'm not the one constantly reminding him to stick the the point, etc. I won't have a leg to stand on if Dahamsta/Tets come at me with that argument.

I think it was good that there was a little leeway given for randomness/comic relief, and Crosby did it better than anybody else. I think all the other posters realised he was an unwritten exception when it came to being tolerated for random posting. Maybe we missed something though, what was the straw that broke the camel's back after eight years?

I don't know the ins and outs of it but he struck me as being a good spud. I'm not questioning the decision without knowing why it was made but i wouldn't mind knowing the reason behind it.

Was warned over and over in fairness.

And then warned some more.

Personally thought he was a wum.

**DeLorean** · 13/05/2016, 10:31 AM

I can't say I ever found myself being 'wound up' by his posts, not even in the slightest.

**pineapple stu** · 13/05/2016, 10:53 AM

Maybe not, but I found he at best just dragged things way off topic. Can't remember him ever adding anything tbh.

**Stuttgart88** · 13/05/2016, 10:56 AM

I found him funny for the most part, a bit annoying sometimes but in a benign way. The world has room for eccentrics and is often better for them.

**nigel-harps1954** · 13/05/2016, 11:04 AM

Wum was used for want of a better term really. If there's a better word to describe someone who doesn't really contribute in a meaningful way and simply posts random off-topic rubbish then I'd love to know as it seemed to be around 95% of his posts.

Harmless?

**pineapple stu** · 13/05/2016, 11:17 AM

Tedious.

**osarusan** · 13/05/2016, 1:07 PM

I just ignored him but he was harmless. Tried the quirky thing too much.

No idea what he was like from a mod perspective.

I can think of other posters that cause more disruption.

**SwanVsDalton** · 13/05/2016, 1:12 PM

I thought some of his posts were pretty funny. Some of the discussions round here can get pretty stuffy and self-righteous (guilty) and a quick swipe from Crosby tended to rightly puncture that bubble.

Didn't bother me, but I can see the mods' point of view.

**Stuttgart88** · 13/05/2016, 1:43 PM

Another classic tricky_colour thread title. I thought he was courting opinion on what we should actually do with Crozzer.

**DeLorean** · 13/05/2016, 1:55 PM

I think it's quite apt. Is there life after foot.ie?

**bennocelt** · 13/05/2016, 6:43 PM

Silly. the word I would use.

Is Worm still around?

"Is the afterlife foot.ie?" might be a better question...

Poor old Crosby. He was a pain in the tits but he was our pain in the tits.

I liked his posts, even if I could not even understand a lot of them, as you says sometime things can get a bit stuffy
he brought a bit of light relief from that, it takes all sorts to make a forum and if you dont like something don't
read it.

Everyone has different likes and dislikes and if you removed everything someone objected to there would not be anything left!!

Crosby was a poster who liked to think outside the box, sometimes way out side the box, if you do not like his posts the solution is to put him on ignore as others may not share your opinion.

There is a the worm on ybig ( theworm2345) I presume that is who you mean, last active last week, Crosby87 is also on ybig
too, last active last month, it seems Crosby87 didn't post as much as I though,it is just that you tend
to remember his posts as they are "a big different"!!

I think theworm left ybig cos he could not stand it there seems he has gone back for more punishment.

Well I had no problem with him at all, it takes a lot to wind me, up you only get wound up if you choose to.

Indeed half the time I had no idea what he was talking about!

Anyhow where will I get my betting tips from now?
