O/T Threads

[frogmiller]

Every topic has been discussed many times. It's just the players who change or the positions.

O/T subjects are great. They can more often be funny than argumentitive.

My daughter as returned for the weekend so logging off.

Frankly, I'm astonished. And MM is NOT a football message board; it's a message board for football fans who (mostly) support RUFC. But as well as the Millers I'm also interested in how sickly is doing in NZ, sota, cam and CT in the US, frog and perigord in France, WanChai in HK and I'm also interested in my old stamping ground in Rotherham and EH in particular and the people like Brin and sota who lived nearby.

Nice one, Monty.

Sota/Monty, quick update on EH. My old home number 35 Lockwood Road was demolished many years ago along with number 33 due to landslip. That was further extended on many houses along Farnsworth Road up towards the snicket leading to the fields.

I've now been told that they have laid new foundations and are now rebuilding everything they demolished so there's still a lease of life for the old estate. Have to say though the ones still standing and the estate in general as gone way down the pan and nothing as clean as what it use to be.

Brin, thanks for the update on EH. I had no idea about the demolitions. I was up Ridgeway last year. It all seemed a lot smaller than I remember. I think I know where you mean by the snicket but I always turned off Farnsworth and went down Cawthorne Road and along Cawthorne Close to the fields.

Footymad/Millersmad
A football fan's dream site: all the breaking news, live scores, results and match reports

That’s telling me it’s a football message board

[sota]

I think Monty is saying that it's much more than just a footy board, it's a virtual social gathering of people, with The Millers being the common denominator.
Thanks to this board I've been reunited with some dear old friends and met some great new ones. I'll drink to that.

You are quite right Monty, been on a weekend tour supporting my boys rep team. Mine is the one in the head gear. Hope all is well. UTM

I like the O/T posts and it's great to have good, well thought through debates on any side of political spectrum. They have been somewhat abused though for either wind ups or for repeatedly promoting a single political viewpoint. Be great to steer clear of this. It's one thing to respond to political posts and give your opinions, but to deliberately set posts up with the objective of promoting your political views is risible, whatever the view point.

[sickly_child]

I think this is a fair point Pup, one of the reasons I stopped posting was because of the unpleasant views a few years ago. I do not like censorship and as long as the debate is civil then can be interesting and at time informative.

[nakedtruth]

Some good points but when the insults are traded they are usually on the O/T threads not on the football related ones
