Report Clouseau • March 15, 2017 10:24 PM GMT
To paraphrase the renowned philosopher Ron Atkinson, I never comment on these petitions to reinstate banned forumites and I'm not going to make an exception for that muppet.

However, I always enjoyed arguing with donny over certain matters; mostly to do with refereeing decisions and the impossible role of the referee in modern football, and would fight to the death for his right to express his opinions; even though he was always wrong.

I have no idea what lead to the ban but wish him well and would recommend that in his absence from the forum he enrols on a football refereeing course and has a go himself so he can address his practical deficiencies in that respect.

In my humble opinion a psychiatric unit must have monitored his words on here about a particular penalty, yellow card or sending off in a televised game and decided he was in need of treatment and got the shepherd's crook out for him.

Hope you are back soon donny. Wink

It does seem weird who gets banned and who doesn't. Studyform has called me the c-word on several occasions. I didn't report them but they were all removed by the mods fairly quickly so they obviously saw them. Studyform isn't banned AFAIK and yet he often gets much more abusive than Anxious or Donny Boy. There doesn't seem to be much consistency. I've had loads of posts deleted where the worst I have called anybody was a clown or a joker - pretty much the mildest of insults possible - presumably somebody reported them?

I think an obvious failing of the left wingers on here is that they seem to have a ridiculously short fuse before they have a hissy fit and resort to abusive language and completely lose the plot. The right wingers are much more chilled and laid back and appear to retain a sense of humour by and large. There are exception of course, but in the main this is true.
