Nice bloke as well.
The Fighting Cock is a forum for fans of Tottenham Hotspur Football Club. Here you can discuss Spurs latest matches, our squad, tactics and any transfer news surrounding the club. Registration gives you access to all our forums (including 'Off Topic' discussion) and removes most of the adverts (you can remove them all via an account upgrade). You're here now, you might as well...
I suppose it’s a good opportunity for some slates to be wiped clean and for us all to move on as a fan base!
I’m willing
All off-topic has been hidden, just use the olympic football thread for now for olympics and I'm sure the other section will be back in a couple of days once it's cooled down a bit and stuff can be merged over if neededAdmin - has the main Olympics thread gone too? I can’t find it in search though I can see the (almost-redundant) Olympics Football thread).
Thanks.
Thanks - didn’t realise it was every off-topic thread. Thanks again.All off-topic has been hidden, just use the olympic football thread for now for olympics and I'm sure the other section will be back in a couple of days once it's cooled down a bit and stuff can be merged over if needed
It's ironic because when I first joined this forum the football section was full of cunt offs and the off topic was good natured and funny. Over time it flipped and became a lot more charged and political
Unless moderated, they're just not the platform for these types of discussion, imo.Forums are weird. In real life I basically get on with pretty everyone but on here I get sucked in like many other posters. Not a good look.

I’m sure 99.9% of the people on here wouldn’t have the balls to say what they say on here to someone’s face.
Give someone a cloak of invisibility, and they’ll be a completely different person. Unfortunately there’s a number of posers on here whose sole purpose is to wind others up, and some members bite.
I’ve said it before, but if people get so aggravated by someone - put them on ignore, it would make everyone’s life a lot easier, not leastAdmin ’s
True. I got far less aggravated when I had a lot of posters on ignore.
Probably wouldn't work either, the moderator would be accused of bias....by both sides of any debate
Problem with ignoring users is that they then have the freedom to post whatever kind of shite they want without the threat of being carded, as so many people have them on ignore. I’d suggest that when a user is ignored by more than say a dozen posters, they get hit with the ban hammer.I’m sure 99.9% of the people on here wouldn’t have the balls to say what they say on here to someone’s face.

There are a number of trolls on here whose sole intention is to wind people up like you say, they don't come into discussions in good faith, it is simply to try and agitate and stir both in footballing discussion and political (from all sides of the spectrum, regardless of belief or leanings) and frankly I think some need to seriously grow up and learn how to handle opposing opinion and deal with it in a mature way.I’m sure 99.9% of the people on here wouldn’t have the balls to say what they say on here to someone’s face.
