Absolutely ridiculous to give any kind of ban or warning for using the term frog for the French... who is bothered when they call us roast beef? .... and I have children that are half French.

agreed in principle, the comment about northerners was much worse
but he deserves a warning for persistent stupid comments

I made a humerous comment that some northerners can be thick. I didn't realise joking about regional stereotypes was offensive. Why's this board suddenly become ultra sensitive?

You are right. But when you consider what moobs has said before, he has clearly ignored his warnings, and using the term frog after saying something about the Chinese, I can see why admin acted. He thinks he can do what he wants

You've nearly achieved the martyrdom you're obviously seeking. Still, you can still post as Cheekoh (Alison, Gavin Archer, whatever), Danny C (possibly), Dagger or Baldy (although I'm less convinced about these two).

I don't think anyone is being over sensitive, its just that you have a history of rubbing people up the wrong way and you like to push the limits. If someone else had used the term frogs no-one would have batted an eyelid. As for the comment about northerners, well no-one else would have said it...

Doubtless this will get me labelled a 'band wagon jumper' but that's not actually what you said is it. There was no qualification in the statement. In a certain context I guess it could have been moderately amusing, but in that context it wasn't, it was just another stupid comment the likes of which you have consistently got a way with for years. Don't start crying now because you're getting picked up for it. Are you trying to compensate for the hole left in your 'life' by junior's disappearance by attempting forum suicide moobs?

You've obviously got a hang up / paranoia with multis Mr Yellowhoods / Surrey / MK Yellow / Shades of Grey.... OK, once again, just for you, they were not multis. No more than one was used at any time and everyone always knew they were me. I at no time tried to make fools of forum members by running several IDs at once, even arguing with myself in some bizarre pantomime.

As I said the comment from moobs might have been funny in another context, in that context it was just a childish statement of the kind he routinely makes and of the kind which seem recently to have got him into trouble. I am a northerner and proud of it, but i can see the funny side of anti-northern humour if it is actually funny in context. Of far greater irritation to me are some of the totally unimaginative chants our fans wheel out every time they pass Birmingham.

Virtually every post from you follows one from Moobs, and vice versa. Often having strange conversation between yourselves, and defending each other. I suspect its not 2 unbalanced individuals, but 1. You have made it to obvious, but clearly will keep denying it to try to avoid looking odd.

It always amuses me how people always think that anyone slightly odd must be a multi...
baldy, moobs, danny c
The internet is full of em! and the ones on here are fairly mild compared to what you see on other sites! I don't have the techy knowledge to comment on whether its possible to have 2 identities on here still, but I seriously doubt if any of the long term characters on here are multis...the odd short-lived one yes

Its all a bit pathetic really isn't it. Its understandable that athletes might make ill-judged comments in the heat of the moment when stinging from a loss but for coaches and team officials to be making snide remarks about successful teams is unprofessional in the the extreme. There are channels for complaints and they should be using them rather than muttering about magic wheels or anything else. Also, the fact that they haven't so far had the balls to make real explicit statements or allegations is embarrassing and seems to me to imply that they really have nothing to complain about and are putting up a smoke screen to cover a poor results.
As for supposed unsporting behaviour from crowds, IMO the British crowds have been more than generous to other nations' athletes, much more so than I was expecting, and at the end of the day, respecting the opposition is only going to go so far when you have home athletes competing. Ultimately the French have never been very good at losing, but perhaps they should be channelling that frustration into looking for ways of closing the gap rather than sulking and making half-baked excuses centred on alleged cheating by successful nations. The French seem to have taken steps forward in the pool, after poor recent results, especially compared to the likes of the Germans and Australia who both have had very poor championships in an area they usually do well in.

We are so bad at cheering on other athletes...
Oh wait the French cyclist who just won the womens mountain biking just got a really good ovation and support from the crowd as she went round her final lap and pretty much every athlete from any nation I've heard interviewed has praised the crowds. Obviously home athletes will have more support, as they would in any country. I'd imagine these stories are mainly the French equivalent of out tabloids trying to stir up trouble, you know if it was the other way round the red tops here would do the same even if it weren't justified.

An enigma, but as you've been proved wrong about me being moobs perhaps you could eat some humble pie and stop accusing me?

I saw an interview with the Cycling head-coach Dave Brailsford, and he was asked by French media to explain his team's success and he said that their bikes had rounder wheels than their competitors! ;D
