Ryan Fredericks

It’s not an argument. It’s a fact, Sky are not reporting this. Or if they are it is damn near impossible to find evidence of it anywhere. Some of you on here really need to chill out, it’s like you want a confrontation.
I only put that comment up because I have seen it reported on Sky news throughout the day. Just because you didnt see that you tell me it isnt true. Which is what you did last time I decided to post something. This is a discussion forum, not 'you arent telling the truth' forum.
 
Feel like I’m receiving some harsh treatment here to be honest, was just giving my honest opinion on a new signing! Suppose I won’t bother next time if it’s going to rub so many people the wrong way!
 
This hounding one person on this thread is a) bullying and not banter b) utterly boring c) obsessive d) wrong

Can someone tell them to give it a rest? Every single thread turns into a hounding session. I could just not come on the forum, but why should I avoid a forum just because a group of people are in teen or even infant mode and hell bent on jumping on everything an individual says. DJ, can you do something about this? It IS bullying. Whatever this guy has done to annoy some of you or you think he's done, I'm pretty sure it's not as bad as what you're doing to him. Grow up, please, and get some perspective. You never know the effect you may be having on someone.

Don't agree. If someone says something that provokes a number of people, how should they react? Do we need a designated "responder", who collects everyone's thoughts and then replies in one place? You put it out there, you get it back. Unless only one person has the right to say provocative cr@p, and everyone else has to suck it up?

Funny, @Old Cherry gets it in the neck from all and sundry, but I don't see any do-gooders standing up for him. He gets "piled on" time and again.
 
Remember our first season in the premier league, Mings got injured and we ended up signing some unknown from Villa on loan (Joe Bennet?) as cover…I was going to say that Fredericks is that sort of signing but actually that’s an injustice to him.
Made the Championship Team of the year 2017/18, tried to step up with West Ham and made 60 odd appearances across 4 seasons, so we are getting a very capable fullback with premier league experience on a free.

I’m quite content with that.

The truth?
You can't handle the truth.
Bah! I deride your truth handling ability, you no truth handler you.*

But it's out of proportion. Totally out of proportion and it's relentless. Some people seem utterly obsessed with him. With Old Cherry, it doesn't seem so personal, but if it is then people shouldn't pile on him time and again as you put it. You can call me a do gooder if you like, but this kind of thing can really affect people, and I'm pretty sure nobody here would want to feel responsible for contributing to pushing someone over the edge, which could happen with some people. It's illegal at work. Why do people think it's okay just because we're online? I actually think any of us are capable of doing it, but that doesn't make it okay.

Are you the 3rd manifestation of Waz
 
Well if it is also Waz then he's trying to make a point. A weird way to go about it but there you go. Tbh this would have all gone away had Waz simply paid his bet and sat down for a few minutes. In any case, the Wax baiting is becoming about as annoying as Waz er was.

I was wondering that too.

Curious that Sleepy only joined the forum at the end of April, just days before Waz Mk. 1 disappeared into thin air.

Coincidence? Surely not !

Bullying....you must be joking .......if someone constantly pokes a wasp nest they're going to get stung

This indeed is how a forum works. One person posts something and if it’s of interest it receives multiple replies. If people agree or disagree, it’ll either stir a reaction or not and that’s what people use a forum for.

If you just want to post your opinion with no response, then a forum isn’t the place to post it.

I agree to the point that it’s boring. But there’s little wrong in disagreeing with a post. However, if any post breaks the guidelines/t&c’s then of course use the alert function.

It wasn't just the bet issue though, was it ?

For the best part of a year, Waz carried on a relentless campaign of bigging up every other possible promotion rival and deriding AFCB's chances. Then telling anyone who disagreed that they were stupid. On a forum for loyal AFCB supporters, that's not going to go down well, is it ?

I completely understand the "play the post not the poster" thing, but to be fair, after Waz reappeared as KK, his posts were reasonable and constructive, and he got no kickback apart from some gentle teasing, which was only to be expected given the ludicrous manner of his exit.

If KK could simply carry on with his thoughtful, well-constructed posts and avoid the temptation to being the eternal Prophet Of Doom and the self-aggrandising posturing, then all would be fine.
