what a pack of stupid c-un-t-s they are, whoever is responsible for the new format. I have never seen anything so blatantly money-grabbingly awful in all my internet life!!!!
Absolutely dreadful!!!!! rolfl

I know Bournemouth fans used it as their main site, but I'll bet absolutely nobody does after this!!!!!!!

I allowed myself to be talked into having a look.

The only think I can think of to say is what's the point?
What IS the point?

I had a quick look last night, couldn't find the messageboard, and decided I had better things to do with my life, and gave up.

i'm guessing Aidan Trimble who writes the match reports is "AIDO87"?
"HARTLEPOOL FINALLY HIT THE RIGHT NOTES"
Fair play to you.

There's a couple of guys who write decent articles for the front page although writing one occasionally is far different to the fine jobs the likes of PTBAP and Albatross used to do on Rivals and Poolsonline respectively.

I agree, the new forum is horrible and a typical advert loaded rivals special.

All of this is controlled by the centre of course, the guy who administrates the forum will have had no input into the look. In other words; its not his fault.

Oh go on then, I'll go and have a look...

I think it might be ok for it's target audience.

It's loaded with adverts for useless stuff and the message board format is set up so as to encourage one or two line posts which won't tax them too much or confuse them into trying to build an argument or explain a point in too much detail.

That I'd pay to see.
Sorry if my clumsy attempts at satire were offensive.
I've never been on rivals.......apart from very breifly last night.
you'd beat me in a spelling bee too.

Spender · **Posted:** Fri Dec 07, 2007 12:52 pm

What is a 'spelling bee' anyway, I thought they'd be a bit stuck after 'buzz' and 'honey.' :roll:

'Sting' maybe..... :sweeeet:

Thank you Mr Fireball, I like to learn something every day and this was todays along with the Chinese for 'fu ck off.' It comes in handy with all the yappy lap dogs that people have running wild around here.

I'm still a bit fuzzy on why it's called a 'bee' though?? confised
