Personally I can take or leave the 'owd Sam' banter, mostly I just skip over it but it's a pain in the backside trying to skip it to get back to posts on the original topic of the thread.
It's a pity we can't have an 'owd Sam' thread and leave the footy threads to footy.
I don't understand that because we all started on here at various times and from a position of joining up with no history .

Best analogy I can come up with is that it's possibly like when you start a new job , everyone is familiar with everyone else but you don't know anyone , you stick with it and after a while you find your feet .

If anyone feels like your mate did then its not done purposely , you just have to ease your way in and given a little time you'll find your feet .
