PaulC Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Whittingham is a player I wish we had never got rid of. He's probably been Cardiff's best player for a number of years. We'd score a lot more from set pieces if he did play for us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 My avatar has both Bannan and Clark. Both have had good seasons so far. Glad we still have Clark. Con must absolutely love logging on to VT. Most successful troll in VT history. It's fashionable to call me a troll. These are my honest and not unreasonable opinions that are also shared by others. Take the Clark thread. Last year I supported Clark. The Clark epic double face-palm reaction is the moment of the season. Now if I post in the Clark thread I'd be ignored because everyone is saying how great he is playing. (This is not a criticism of Baker. They are both great, different and yet complementary in style).

Stevo985 Posted November 25, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted November 25, 2013 I don't think you're trolling in that you actually rate Bannan. I do believe that is your genuine opinion. But there is stuff that you post in here that is undoubtedly trolling, ie posting for effect. I know it, you know it, we all know it. Yes you'll deny it, to keep up this facade that allows this thread to continue because it's technically within the rules of the site. But literally everyone who reads this thread knows you're trolling. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 You are right this is my genuine opinion about Bannan. Of course everyone posts for fun sometimes, but that's not trolling. That's banter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Stop it! Now you're making me into a cardboard character. I'm a real person! You cannot criticise me ad infinitum without me feeling bad. What you actually find scary is that a real person believes in something you choose to disagree with. And that someone sticks to his opinion even when it becomes unfashionable (which isn't trolling). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Come on Con. I think you're funny and I believe you're telling the truth when you say you rate Bannan but it's clear that some of the things you say are blatantly trolling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Con Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Come on Con. I think you're funny and I believe you're telling the truth when you say you rate Bannan but it's clear that some of the things you say are blatantly trolling. Could you provide an example? I don't think I'm trolling in by the normal definition of the word. In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog), either accidentally[3][4] or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[5] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[6] Discord? X Upset people? X Inflammatory? X Extraneous? X Off-topic? X Being funny whilst "sticking to a long-held opinion" is not trolling when that opinion is not off-topic, extraneous, inflammatory, does not sow discord and does not upset people.

Con Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 Con's classic Anfield gif was first-class trolling. You might have found that funny, but maybe I'm a funny person. I thought that was a good pass. It was very important one in the context of the goal scored. I may have posted the gif once too often because I knew it made people laugh (when simply referring to the incident with text could have sufficed) but the reason for the gif was to illustrate a point, not to troll.

BOF Posted November 25, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 25, 2013 Aaaaaaaaanyway, that Bannan bloke. Had a good game at the weekend by all accounts. Scored the winner too. Probably deserves some credit for it. Not too much, mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 (edited) Told you he was good. Bannan's form appears to have been attracting attention across the galaxy. Crystal Palace to stay up, aliens tell Bromley woman who 'used to be Joan of Arc' A BROMLEY spiritual healer who claims she used to be Joan of Arc says aliens have told her Crystal Palace will stay in the Premier League.Stephany Cohen is in constant communication with extra terrestrial races, including Grays, Cat People and the half-reptile, half-alien Reptilians.The 52-year-old says the aliens have taken a special interest in Earth, and regularly travel across space from their home in the Canis Major system.And Grays, who have previously passed on advice for Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, have reassured her that struggling Palace will steer clear of relegation this season.

Zatman Posted November 29, 2013 Share Posted November 29, 2013 Con's classic Anfield gif was first-class trolling. nearly the 1 year anniversary to that pass. We should organise some celebration for it. Maybe a round of applause on the minute it was made? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted November 30, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 30, 2013 Did well by the looks of motd, although he always was a motd player with the other 90% being less of a highlight. Seems to be affecting the right end though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supernova26 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Was a cracking shot tbf. I really wanted Palace to stay up I like their partisan fans and maybe due to the Bannan association as well. They must be gutted at landing Pulis though. Do the Palace fans rate Barry?
