How exactly is that done? If you say something, and I present an opposing view, is that me "shutting down" any criticism? Or merely offering a different perspective? This thread is full of people expressing negative opinions about the Block E lads. It also includes others putting forward counterpoints that support them. I don’t see either side being "shut down." It’s simply a discussion. But why? Just as people are permitted to express their observations from games and local pubs afterwards, others are allowed to counter those observations. Both viewpoints are permissible, and have been in this thread. Unless you prefer a forum where someone can state what they claim to have seen, felt, heard, or otherwise, and no one is allowed to challenge that? Having your view challenged does not diminish it. It simply means someone else disagrees with you. Once again, posters are free to dismiss anything they wish out of hand. That’s part of being in a community like this. The important thing is that while some may vocally dismiss your views or those of others, it doesn’t mean that everyone who reads the thread agrees with them or sees it as a slight on you. I really don’t think we should be considering stopping people from challenging what others say simply because it upsets the person who made the statement. If individuals are distressed by others disagreeing with them, this forum, or indeed the internet in general, might not be the right place for them. And this isn’t me telling you to leave the boards. You’re more than welcome to post here just like everyone else, but you need to understand that your views are neither more nor less valued than anyone else’s. And similarly, I’m not addressing this specifically to you, but the situation you’ve described, where you say people should be able to express their views without being criticised or told they’re talking nonsense, rather exemplifies someone who doesn’t like being challenged. And, if someone accuses a poster of being an idiot, they can surely ignore them as well? Does that mean others should also be able to post about and defend the Block E group without being shot down? We've discussed this in private, and it's rather ironic that you're upset about people posting defamatory material about you, yet you're happy to constantly claim that a certain poster saying "I think u should take a break from the forum as u seem to take everything personal" is them telling you that you should "get off these boards." It isn't. So please stop saying that. Should I lock it? 👀

Reckon this thread has run it's course.

Must admit I had a chuckle when I posted, given some of the discussion recently. But, YES. 😆

I don't think that's true, everyone I've seen post on here has acknowledged that there is an arsehole element within the Bois (and our support in general) but some of the posters here seem to be doing the opposite and portraying all of them as hardened criminals, there are one or two that I half expect to blame them for the JFK shooting and 9/11.

George was part of the revolution at Ipswich when Bobby Robson brought in his Dutch players. Great team to watch and very successful for a "provincial" side. Hope he kicks its arse.

He was excellent wasn’t he, was a real surprise to me how accomplished a full back he was, especially at his age. Class act. he had a genuine affection for Motherwell as well and recall an interview when he was leaving saying how he’d love to come back one day as manager. hopefully he can battle his way through it and recover
