The best close-season free transfer since Martin Petrov...


Quote from: jimbo_bwfc
...and I promise to whinge less.

Hello. I'm James/Jimbo, whatever.

I've been planning on joining The Wanderer when the season ends for a bit when I left my former hunting grounds; 606 (closing down) and Burnden Aces (gone shíte).

I've decided to come over a bit earlier and see what it's all about, I already recognize a few familiar names off other forums and twitter (you can follow me at...www.twitter/jderbyshirebwfc -shameless plug!) so hopefully I'll slot right in!

Why would anyone want to 'follow' him? He's boring as fúck.

Each to their own.

For what it is worth I agree with you both.

It is a decent forum and very popular with many but I find it to be without much humour and with several 'mega' posters, who seemingly are very opinionated - to the point of rudeness (imo) of others.

Yes I know there is far more abuse thrown about on here but the vast majority of it is not meant, unlike on there.

There is also a 'hidden' forum where quite a substantial 'clique' ridicule their own posters behind their backs, whilst being 'chummy' with them on the public forum.  Or at least it used to be like that, I some how can't imagine that it as changed some how.

I never liked the double standards they had - hence why I found my way on here.

I some how think Jimbo will be much better suited to them than us.

Jimbo's a tosspot, not an original bone in his body.

I'm actually embarrassed reading his "intro" on The Wanderer. How can a grown man write such shite?

I've got a log-in from a mod on there for the secret forum, and it's pretty embarrassing stuff. It's amusing though, as I have met the same people in the flesh and they have been nice as pie to me to my face yet write their guff on the secret forum imagining that I would never read it  Cool

I don't think you need to take it so personally.  I think a few people have pointed out (Including you I recall, Sluffy) that the number/quality of posts have dropped on the forum.  I think you listed why you thought that was (maybe as part of a general trend on BWFC forums) and it's not like "gone shite" is the worst thing anyone has every said about a forum.

Just 'broad' language.  I don't think I've ever been on The Wanderer, but fair play if Jimbo prefers it there.  Each to their own and all that.  They're just forums.

If you are addressing me Az, my point is not why he's done it - everyone is free to come and go obviously - but the way he's done it, in particular the lack of respect he's given to the site and its posters.

There was simply no need for it, none at all.

fcúk in hell.  Giving people shíte on the internet is cowardly at the best of times, but shíte-talking behind their back on the internet really takes the biscotti.  They sound like a bunch of spineless fannies to me; Coyle should sign them up.

I don't think it's particularly "disrespectful".  Like I said, it's a forum.  It seems like the sort of thing someone says down the pub, rather than an attack on the forum.  If he'd said "the forum is no longer ad good as it was" then nobody would have batted an eyelid, but he said "(gone shite)" because it's how he talks.

Fair enough if you're upset.  But I wouldn't take it personally.

There's a few that flit from forum to forum and feel the need to slag off the one they've just left. I might follow him on twitter if I find I can't sleep at night.

I thought this secret forum was a joke. Clearly not.

It's possibly the saddest thing I've ever heard of.

It always makes me laugh when people delete their account as Jimbo has done. Fair enough if you want to have a look at another site but why burn bridges?

He'll be another faceless pleb on TW, the only way you survive on a bigger stage is if you're loud or have a differing opinion than the majority.

Anyway, I'll be tuning into his Twitter postings.....

It seems a bit soft. He'll probably find the grass no greener anywhere else and end up whoring himself around forums like someone else we know seems to be doing.

I have been away for the weekend and I have to say I am a bit disappointed in Jimbo. I have had a look at the link that Sluffy posted and I have no problem with Jimbo joining another site, but why close down his account on here ?

I do occasionally view the other boards and I have found that they are all much of a muchness.

I remember Jimbo from the official site and I always found him to have a good knowledge of football and a good sense of humour. It's a free world and all that but why not depart graciously and leave it at that ?

I blame Sharps for corrupting him in the back of his Mums car on the way home from the Reebok.

I don't understand the football forum culture as it pertains to BWFC.  Is there a rule that one can't be a member of two forums?  I see Big Sharps is over at WW and now Jimbo is off to TW, hardly the first two to migrate.  I used to post at Bolton Banter but as it was getting about 1 post a day I decided to post here.  Granted, I am a very casual poster and don't put much stock in it, but it seems very serious business for some (deleting accounts, etc.)  

I wonder if, hypothetically speaking, one were to post on a gaming, tv/film, politics, religious or some other type of forum whether there would be the same 'allegiances' to individual forums as we see here.  Either way, its odd and intriguing to say the least.

Good to see Jimbo getting slagged off on TW for trying to wash his dirty laundry in public.

Some people need to get a life, the internet is not reality.
