    worm only posts the weekly goalscoring players on Saturdays on YBIG, he's on hiatus now until the new season starts in August.
    he's not banned here, just doesn't post anymore
    All goals, yellow and red cards tweeted in real time on mastodon, BlueSky and facebook

    And Crosby's ban? Refusing to stay on topic?

    TBF I don't think moderators should need to explain these kinds of decisions publicly.

    They clearly don't need to, I just think it would be mannerly seeing as some people on here seem to think a banning may have been a bit unnecessary, or at least just come out and say it's a private matter instead of just waiting for this thread to blow over/fizzle out. If Stuttgart88, DannyInvincible, etc. were banned suddenly I'd imagine there would be a far bigger demand for an explanation seeing as it would be viewed as a detrimental to the forum, well some of us think Crosby will be a loss also. Obviously the main difference is that we can all presume to some degree why Crosby was banned, but I don't see why it can't be confirmed. After eight years and 3,500 I don't think it's unreasonable for his cyber associates to request answers. Anyway, point taken, I'll leave it there.

    Just a heads-up: I'll be hosting a memorial dinner for Crosby in Crackbird tomorrow night. All friends and well-wishers welcome.

    Crosby brought humour and randomness to many threads, and on the odd occasion, added to them. Why the hell ban him? If people had a problem with him, ignore his posts. Worm has always done the scorers on YBIG and continues to do so. I do remember he took offence to Stu and I battling over Tommie/Tommy Hoban threads and who would get the most posts. Soon after he stopped posting on here. So it seems two American lads of Irish origin ( I believe) are no more!

    Am not a mod on the Ireland forum and only read it around games, but from the thread on the mod forum it looks like it was for thread spoiling / consistent off topic posting.

    And as I said before he was warned over and over. It was obviously annoying some users as the posts were reported.

    Not sure how long the ban is. Will ask in Mod forum.

    I thought I posted here yesterday: I don't actually remember the straw that broke the camel's back in this case but I don't dish out bans lightly, this guy rarely if ever posted on topic and was driving people demended.

    EDIT: So demended that people lost the ability to spell the word demended.

    The lad didn't contribute anything to the forum.

    It would've been okay if he was the slightest bit witty.

    There's no need to get nasty. And obviously a lot of us found him very witty. Humour isn't for everybody though, as you proved on the Stephen Ireland thread.

    As for those who presumably went about reporting another poster, I hope your problems in the real world aren't so serious.

    Thanks for the explanation though.
