It was for the team itself rather than the association which is always the IFA.

But accept the point.

That's the mods job. Report posts or leave the threads.

You think being a 10k post troll is unlikely? Sure little old sectarian me married a Protestant that time.

That's right folks. There is a Mrs. Backtowalsall out there. She doesn't believe in transubstantiation so she'll surely burn in the deepest fires of hell, but it's hard to get a Catholic girl who makes a decent cup of tea these days, so what else can you do?

On this forum, yes.

CofI folk are practically Catholic.

We can't make a joke now? A bit unnecessary, though D.Trump would probably agree?

it's been discussed with the other mods, and it's very necessary.

Thought this was a message board, not the U.N.?

**colonelwest** · 09/12/2015, 2:56 PM

Sure enough of Gather Round's wumming narcissism and condescension, if the lads can get along ok sure that's all that's needed, leave him to it!

If you have a problem with it, raise it in the support forum

**Wolfman** · 09/12/2015, 3:32 PM

I don't, just seems petty in the extreme.

that stinks.

**Wolfman** · 09/12/2015, 7:09 PM

Except jokes are now banned!

**Crosby87** · 09/12/2015, 11:01 PM

Not good jokes. For example, horse walks into a bar, bartender says why the long face?

**Stuttgart88** · 10/12/2015, 2:19 PM

What's the difference between a hippo and a zippo? One's really heavy, the other's a little lighter.

**Wolfman** · 11/12/2015, 10:58 AM

Except my original joke was censored, but not the others.

**punkrocket** · 11/12/2015, 3:10 PM

2 men and a dog standing at a bar. Dog starts licking it's bollards, man looks down and says " I wish I could do that" dog's owner replies " give him a biscuit and he might let ye."

Hard to believe this has dropped to page 3. It's no Melinda Messenger though.

Eh, following on from the discussion in the James McClean thread, the the Council's Strategic Policy and Resources Committee has passed the motion and will go to COuncil for a vote tonight.

Incidentally 5 lads turned up to protest the decision. Billy Hutchison was right about it sparking a massive loyalist protest.

EDIT: Passed.

I had the impression James' thread was an outlet for all varied sorts of reactionary judgmental expressions (aka irish bigotry in disguise), James will be heartened to hear that real issues are actually discussed on his thread. Perhaps I was mistaken and should visit it more often and give it the benefit of my undoubted mature wisdom.

We couldn't have a thread being hijacked now could we. That would be unacceptable. The most shocking thing is that I had to root for this thread on page 3. Unbelievable Jeff.

I think at this stage we have to accept that Jeff's unbelievability factors are set quite low in order to cater for an audience which require unbelievable to be shoved at them at regular intervals, in order to simulate believability that something remotely interesting has just happened.

I see the mods are your tail Bonnie, I hope you have been behaving yourself in the eligibility thread?
You can't joke in here, this is the war room!
