Barrow AFC

[Bristol_Gull]

Is it possible that we either have an entire thread dedicated to Barrow AFC or perhaps give the red card to anyone who repeatedly posts about another club in an irrelevant context to maintain the sanity (or at least partial sanity) of this forum?!

Well as I've just said on the Weymouth thread, as forum we've always welcomed guests from other clubs, and should continue to do so, if fans of other clubs want to share their news with us, or compare events at their club with the goings on at ours, what's the problem ? As along as they don't come on here and over step the mark, I'm fine with it personally.

Had Danny Racchi on trial last week.

Agreed but to comment about another club on every single thread and topic? I thought it was a joke at first but to be honest it's now getting a little tedious!

Perhaps in order to facilitate other supporters we set up a different forum category so that the "ALL THINGS PLAINMOOR" remains as such?

[Dave]

A valid point, but as said by other posters, we have the power to ignore the Barrow related posts. A few seasons ago, a Grimsby fan by the name of les.GTFC posted on here, he even won poster of the month on here, he's was known at the time for posting around numerous forums, totally respected on all of them.

Think it can be interested to get a perspective on other clubs and our own from fans from other clubs.

I agree - Ray is a totally harmless contributor and actually quite interesting at times. However I did wonder at one point whether 'Ray Johnstone' was a pseudonym for 'Paul Cox' - Paul Cox was once a school teacher and 'Ray' certainly has a schoolmasterly tone about him. All good fun and I'm sure 'Ray' will have other interests as soon as the season starts proper!

[Burnhamgull]

It's ironic he hasn't posted on this thread yet though.

My e-mails are always relevant to the page heading. We have had trouble with users drifting off topic over on barrowafc.net ever since John Little left his position on the moderating team. It has become a chaotic mess and I certainly do not want to replicate the situation on this blog.

As this page is not related to TUFC, the webmaster should move it the site's general comments section in my opinion.

Ray you make valid points on the various threads and you don't incite inflammatory responses like our own commentators but is it really necessary to relate nearly every comment back to your own club?!

Good old Ray , he's an old dinosaur that appears from time to time on the barrow forum.
Claims he can only go to midweek games due to a "regular weekend engagement"
I'm a recently employed Mod on the barrow site.
I'm Chris.

Welcome to the unofficial Barrow AFC forum Chris! You will have a blast here, although be aware we occasionally discuss another club, Torquay United FC but don't worry about that too much

[smw1989]

what's that Moussa Diarra like Ray?

[sgf]

And Barrow Fan Chris's favourite player is Rory Fallon!! Jesus Christ am I the only one seeing a blatant P*@s take of our forum or am I going mad???

Barrow Fans - if you are genuine, which i doubt you are, there is a section on the The Plopside called Rivals banter. Why don't you try there? You may find more people who wish to engage with you and leave the "All things Plainmoor" as purely a Torquay Forum.

Peace

[Barrow_fan_chris]

Apologies, won't post again.

[sgf]

No need to apologise Chris. You feel free to post, most people are happy with copious amounts of Barrow/Ray postings.

I'm done.
