Just wanted to say I'm delighted with the posts on the Trippier article being taken down. More of that should happen until we get back to real banter and wit and intelligence on the posts. I don't mind the jealous ones coming on here and having a go (they've nothing else to look forward to) or even with decent comments (it does happen) but the drivel that is sometimes posted (by Clarets as well, unfortunately) is just time wasting nonsense. I'm not into censorship at all and free speech is our right but, considering some things on here I would say for once "well done Telegraph".
All we need now is for that muti-faced idiot who pretends to be a Rovers fan (I believe he doesn't even like football) to get shunted off to computer wasteland and things can start being fun on here again.

houseclaret - as a rovers supporter i empathise with your posting. these boards are invariably full of drivel these days and there is no decent debate, banter or gentle rid digging. but you are correct about taking down comments so some of the idiots who write their nonsense will be prevented from their diatribe.

you are also correct that it is not just rovers contributors - take a look on rovers pages there is one particular poster who start at 9am and goes through to midnight - despite several bannings it still metamorphasises into another sign-in, and when challenged - it says it is banter! - nowt of he sort...its an idiot that evolution has passed by.

Hasslem, far be it from me to stand shoulder to shoulder with a Rover (it won't happen again, honest) but you are correct and I think that all lovers of football and reasonably intelligent banter should do our best to clean things up a bit. I don't visit Rovers pages these days (apart from after a derby or a story relevant to both clubs) but I am led to believe that you have your quota of dodgy "visitors". My answer to this is simple; I NEVER reply to or comment on certain posters, regardless of what they write. The only time I may have been caught out is when the idiot multi-faceted fool creates yet another "character" that I didn't know of, but that is short lived and I tend to know his drivel anyway and am usually aware now.
Good luck."
