Stickied Oakey’s Predicta League Two 2023/24

[oakroader]

is it me?????

 

[Aber gas]

Dirk supports Notts county and would like to take part.
It's all fine

 

[Dirk]

is it me?????

Are you still thinking that "I am taking the piss"? No, absolutely not.
What don't you understand about it? Please tell me. I am really happy to join here for the season. But if it's a problem then I will withdraw. I don't want to cause problems.

nah..no probs dirk..as i said you're welcome....good luck matey

 

[northstandexile]

It appears Oaky's device that he uses doesn't show all the info that most users can see.

I am glad Dirk doesn't acknowledge that Accrington are founder members.

 

[Dirk]

OK. But your "Is it me?" post (#755) after it just puzzles me. So I asked.
Do you find it strange that someone from Germany has an interest in english football history and likes (and supports) more than one team but all of them (minus defunct Accrington F.C) who formed the first professional football league in 1888?

 

[northstandexile]

Yes you are correct that Accrington Stanley are not the same club as Accrington F.C of 1888.

We just need to educate all those people who think teams like Hereford, Aldershot, Chester, Halifax and Glasgow Rangers are the same club as they were before they went bust and into liquidation.

 

[Carver]

You are so wrong with your view of me being a mod regarding your nonsense.

I pull the strings Mowgil and you're my puppet.

You think that being a moderator gives you power? No, it's being someone like ME that gives you power.

 

[Carver]

anybody else getting the Carver "white noise/static interference" on their screens ??

Still not admitting your mistake Oak?

 

[joethegill]

I got told to come here.

Southend United v Gillingham - Draw

 

[mowgli]

I have the power to delete posts do you?

 

[oakroader]

I have the power to delete posts do you?

did you??

 

[oakroader]

SO FAR......

 

[oakroader]

 

[Carver]

I have the power to delete posts do you?

Yes I can delete my own posts and I can threaten and intimidate people into deleting their own posts.

 

[oakroader]

Still not admitting your mistake Oak?

 

[Carver]

Nah I don't really care either Oak, just thought I'd try and show you up to be a thicko, that is all.

 

[mowgli]

Yes I can delete my own posts and I can threaten and intimidate people into deleting their own posts.

If you try and intimidate ANYONE on here you will pay the price. Banter is fine abuse is not so remember that before you post your nonsense.

 

[Vanni]

He's only kidding Mowgli, or I think so anyway. I also don't see how anyone could feel intimidated over the internet, as after all, words don't hurt people but actions do. But I completely understand why others think different.

Still, having said that, I don't like to see certain colourful language on the footy forums*. Personally, I have no trouble at all with such language, but I do appreciate that some potential new forum members might be put off and think twice before signing up. My reasoning is only because I'm assuming that newcomers would check out the footy threads first before heading over to the other sections.

*esp. on the matchday threads, new/rumoured signings, away followings etc, which most likely will be the visitor's first port of call.

Yeah, it's fairly civilised here. God help them if they find the politics board first or the shoutbox

 

[Dirk]

Tbh: I found the shoutbox and the politics board first . But I don't decide on first impressions I always take a second look (or give a second chance) and I am member in some other boards (German and English ones) and all I can say that here it is a civilized place compared to some of these boards. I am not one who is "intimidated" by strong words. And I can take my fair share of mocking and have a lot of humour, too, although it is often said that we have no humour (ah, and I like the typical british (black) humour)

 

[Carver]

I left the shoutbox because of this creepy poster called Dave who repeatedly used the c word and he made vile threats towards me through a vocaroo recording and he even put up a false link which led anyone who clicked on it to a gay porn site.

He has not been banned or even had any sort of punishment for this as far as I'm aware.

Reading vs PNE
Draw

 

[Vanni]

Dirk - I used to ''support'' Hamburg when I was still a little angry kid. Then HSV were replaced by Stuttgart , and after a year or two, the latter were in turn replaced by St Pauli

How do you HSV fans see St Pauli? Is there a big rivalry thing going on or not? I'm only asking because someone once told me there was no rivalry* as such between the two sides.

*bitter rivalry as in say Liverpool/Man U, Celtic/Rangers, Real/Barca and, erm, Luton/Watford.

 

[oakroader]

Carver/mowgli ??

 

[Dirk]

@ Vanni: Better I answer your question in the "German Football" thread. Would be OT here

Sorry, for asking: But I thought this is only for League 2 clubs ?

 

[TomPNE94]

Sorry, for asking: But I thought this is only for League 2 clubs ?

Nope, think this might be where the confusion arose the other day with you supporting Notts County rather than Wolves!

 

[Dirk]

Yes I chose Notts County here because this is the League 2 section and Notts is a League 2 club and one of the 12 founder members (11 still exist) of the Original Football league from 1888 (in League 1 I would have chosen Bolton Wanderers. In the Championship Wolves (from 5 available clubs) and in the PL it would be Burnley (from 4 available)

 

[oakroader]

just a recap....this is a predicta for ALL supporters ....it started off as a league 2 thing but expanded when Aber gas from league 1 showed interest and joined in ...no one outside league 2 seemed interested last year.
all are welcome....it will be a supporter not a team that will win at the end of the season.
it will be a long slog and i'm sure many will drop out for one reason or another,but its good friendly banter .....

 

[Dirk]

Thanks for the explanation. I've got it!
I'll stick to Notts County for this Predicta.
