Slog got a ankle injury and came off first half. He hobbled to the changing room with a ice pack on his ankle. Very much doubt we will see him within a month. He was just catching up with his fitness after being a couple of weeks short now this will knock him even further behind fitness wise. Shame because he looked really good from box to box.

Wonder if they'll ask the club physio to have a look at him or just rely on you telling them when he's fit enough to start training again?

You are once again a clueless complete bell end. I wonder if we are even allowed opinions about Pools now that you are ingrained in the club

I was just wondering how come you decided to have a go at me after so long being quiet and then it dawned on me I mentioned your dad Walter Mitty Shithead in my lottery post Did I hurt your feelings there there its ok I am sorry

Oh dear, sense of humour by-pass kicked in again? I'm nothing to do with the club for the umpteenth time.
And I'd hope one of the admins has a word with you about your offensive words - there's absolutely no need for it imo.

Sloggett left on crutches according to RS

There is absolutely no need for you attacking anyone and everyone relentlessly for sod all. If admin do what your asking so be it

Be careful Gray your not allowed opinions

Where was the attack? And you call me sensitive?

read it again, Its my cunning plan.
I put it on RS, aKA robbie STELLING.

Be careful Gray your not allowed opinions [/quotE

Trouble is my skin is as thick as fuck (like me), And i don,t give a toss.

Not what anyone wants from a friendly is it? And whoever heard of a Prem or Championship Academy player tackling? Shouldn't be allowed

I can remember Keegan bringing a Newcastle team for a friendly and McGuckin put one of their players out for ages with Keegan saying it was an horrendous tackle and he'd never bring a team to Pools again for a friendly.
Also didn't Paddy McGloughlan put Molyneux out for ages in a friendly.

Leggie you know as well as anyone that nobody disallows opinions on here, the admins are very liberal imo in what they do allow and I welcome that. Personal abuse and aggressiveness being the only things I can remember being sanctioned. You are not a victim.

Feather and Dixon are going to be starting at yeovil aren’t they ffs !!!

Getting paid, So make them earn it.

Leggie was just speculating, no need for the sarcasm.

We could always leave them out a have nine players on the pitch…

Is sarcasm allowed then?

In the right spirit or retaliation.

Humour
Sarcasm
Little insults
Compliments.
Fcuk off crank.
Just a few SM replies.
Shark fishing.

What did I have to retaliate about?

You didn’t….that was the trouble…Leggie was just making an innocuous comment…no need to have a sarky dig.

So is a humorous attempt at a sarcastic dig worthy of the offensive response? Strange values if so, but hey ho we're all different eh?

I think ya need some new thicker skin.
Stop playing the victim.
It's give n take on here.
Nothing personal as probably 90% of the time we don't know who we talking to.
But probably know each other in the real world before SM.
UTP.

Hold on I'm getting stick for sarcasm but calling someone a cock is OK. I'm not playing the victim and my skin is thick enough to take whatever is thrown at me. I just think the board has a standard that should be adhered to otherwise where will we end up?

Lets hope he is only out for a week or two, like i said a month ago fetherstone, who never really seems to pick up injuries will probobly once again become the mainstay of our team.

lots of this pre season is for precautions rather than anything sinister. some will have him returning home in a private ambulance and straight back into his iron lung.

I'm more concerned about Mancini telling the manager he did not want to play and he was OK about it.

Thought he got through the last outing without and injury concerns.
Or are we taking the Cotton Wool to extremes.
Maybe just a skillful part time pussy.!!

Maybe mancini cant be arsed to play against u21 teams i must admit im with him on that one its creeping more and more into english footy, friendlies against u21 teams cup competitions against u21s next it will be u21s getting in the non league system

It’s just a run out, chill.

The offensive response was triggered by you, it was self inflicted.
People have different levels of tolerance.
I couldn’t give a shit what people say to me, but all people are different, don’t be surprised if some snap back……

to be fair he did not say he did not want to play without giving him a reason. its just how valid the reason was i,d be concerned with.

anyone can say what they like to me or about me but please do not give me a whack when i,m not looking or behind my back. even our players do not get injured by words. well not yet anyway.

Was he on the phone from Calais when he phoned….?

I heard he was in Paree waiting to be called on as an Olympic torch bearer.

So where does the line get drawn at offensive name calling Snowy? Do we let the board degenerate to the lowest levels or do we maintain standards?
Personally I've called probably everyone on here as bad but likely worse that Leggie did me, but I do that privately and don't allow myself to resort to offensiveness in my posts.
Am I hurt by the name calling, not at all but if the board is open to free for all I'll be giving as good as I get.
I appreciate you sticking up for your mate, but when you look at things dispassionatey you'll realise that there's only one post that's been out of order and that wasn't posted by me.

Snarlls not daft, its got enough about him suss any player out.

Slogs ankle was massive yesterday awful news, he will be 4/5 weeks recovering looking at it with experience in such matters.

Nicky sitting in the hole at Yeovil will be ok.

I'll answer that Mr PTID. There are two people who moderate this forum. Mr I, who is the forum's owner, and myself.

In reality the level that standards are set are mainly in the domain of the forum's membership and how that membership conduct themselves.
Is it our job to teach grown men how to behave? Do we need page after page of hard and fast rules and regulations and insist that they are carried out to the letter under pain of experiencing the fall of the big hammer on anybody who dares to step out of line?
People know when they are being disrespectful, or narking the pitch and, like any other forum, we have our share of that. How far do we let people go before drawing the line and where do we actually draw that line.
If people deliberately set out to nark the pitch, abuse fellow members, insult fellow members, gang up on fellow members, then the place will descend into mayhem, especially if, in turn, reasonable people start retaliating in the same manner.
The responsibility for harmony, togetherness, enjoyment, friendship and all other good things lies with each of us both individually and collectively under the common banner of Poolies.
Any movement away from those ideals can only be generated by our behaviour.
That is all we need to focus on.

Nice Post Derwent

I think you are overreacting to what I said.
A continual request for answers to something so inconsequential will elicit no response because you are to put it bluntly, making a mountain out of a mole hill.
If you want a hill to die on you’ve made a poor choice.

I think Derwent has made things quite clear, as clear as my conscience in fact. Lol.

A bit dramatic, but hey ho…Ruby beckons.

She caught a wood pigeon.

Absolute tripe Kev. Do you seriously think Sarll is a soft touch??
He's trying to get Pools to a level of fitness miles above the standard of recent seasons. A big chunk of the squad has picked up knocks or strains and missed friendlies so far - Charman, Darcy, Waterfall, Parkes, Mancini and Grey.
Might well be one ot two more this week. You chance to do a bit more name calling?

So why don't you put a stop to all the racism, misogynistic, anti LGBT stuff etc etc on here?

Interesting Mancini came to him and said he wasn’t fit based on post match interview, tho sarll said he appreciated the honesty

We absolutely need more bodies in or a decent start (which we should make based on the early oppo) will quickly turn to shit
Need

Back up striker
Back up left back
Another wide player
Another centre mid player
Starting keeper

Take away the trialists and the kids and we are on the bones of our arse already squad wise

I am sure Derwent will answer this question at some stage but for my part, I believe this forum allows free speech on a number of issues mainly but not exclusively related to Hartlepool United. I also would query who should be the judge of what is banter and what is "racist" (a seriously over-used term), misogynistic (is it mysogynistic to say you dont like womens football and object to it be forced on us?). How exactly should it be defined? Cant say I have seen any comment on here that could be construed as as anti LGBT but then who knows what your defintion of this would be. It is your right to be offended but it is not the job of the users of this board to avoid offending you. If you feel it is appropriate why not send Derwent or Mr I a message declaring your dissatisfaction? I am certain they will be helpful but they may not edit people's opinions unless they actually break the law. Just as a side issue, why do you never contribute to any discussion on football but confine your very few posts to sniping at others or the way this forum is conducted? I am offended by this but I guess I'll have get on with it.

Let’s
Getting your injuries crack in way to Early.
Glad ya ecstatic about them.
