I prostrate myself before the "power" that is Hello Trouble and make most humble obeisance. See, HalifaxCougars comment is clearly a personal observation, thanks Halifax i am positively icy.

My personal observation is your post was uncalled for and Josh was only posting a preview! I have no idea why you would be bothered about it.

Your are entitled to your opinion, as I am to mine.I am not bothered by his post but am of the view that posts on a fans forum that are in any way official club press releases, call them what you will, should be clearly identified as such.

Josh as a volunteer I appreciate massively your efforts and hope you take the criticism of the narrow minded who don't appreciate the efforts with a pinch of salt.

Interesting premise that one who is critical is of essence narrow minded. Perhaps if I was being critical I would point out that 12 x 4 does not equal 64.

Ed Turner I've just wasted five minutes reading your rhetoric. It's adequately clear from Josh's post it's an announcement. Announcing his personal opinions on the squad and club preview in this formal fashion would be ridiculous, you clearly have a brain and I'm suggesting you use it. Josh was quite rightly disgruntled on Twitter about the negative comments on the 'fans' forum, I hope you are satisfied with yourself. This is an equal diatribe of timewasting but there you go, two and half bottles of red and that's what you get. Well done Hello Trouble, the website is looking good, away team info, travel help, team info and general media info is great to have and I salute you for providing this (voluntarily Ed, voluntarily).

It's a moderated public forum, and everyone is entitled to their opinion.
It wouldn't hurt to precede official statements with the words "official club statement" to eliminate doubt.
Just because a person is a volunteer does not make them immune to fair criticism. The moment you post something on a public forum you are open to comment and if you can't take it maybe you'd be better sticking with sycophantic buddies. That's not a comment against the OP just a general observation.
It's been stated before, this is not a club appreciation society but a fans forum. This brings forth a raft of "characters", some strongly opinionated, and when times are bad (no one can deny our finish to last season and start of this have so far been dire) they will quite rightly have their say.
I have only been wrong once and thats because I thought I was wrong but I was wrong I was right!
Petty authoritarians aren’t man enough to challenge the actions of a person face to face; instead they incite a forum of rumour, innuendo and half truths, and impose rude sanctions to discourage those who dare question fairness.
