The Snowball stat thread

[Archie's penalty]

Mods. Please delete the last ten pages or so.

[Wycombe Royal]

Please can you stop Snowball, please.

I'm RESPONDING

I wan this to be a thread about statistics

Address your "please stop" to the dozen or so others currently posting.

And they are responding as well. Why don't you be the bigger person and be the one to stop? Don't tell others to do it if you can't yourself.

[Maguire]

Again, why bring this up on the Team Board? It's a personal attack.

No. It's a statement of absolute fact.

You see how uncomfortable that feels?

See how it feels like a personal attack?

Welcome to my world.

I'm in no doubt whatsoever that Maguire is currently inconsolable.

Tears streaming down my cheeks as I type, can barely see the screen

Dont wish to be a prude but there's a reason why the "football" side of hobnob can be seen without being a member whilst the "Anything Else" (Anything Goes) section can only be seen by registered members.

I really don't think its appropriate to be quoting more controversial stuff from there onto here.

Not aimed at anyone in particular, just my opinion.

I'm with him

Guys, why not leave the stats thread alone? It's just one thread.

Guys, if you don't like my stats, please put me on ignore.




Thanks















Will that work?











Did it work the last time?

As a method of cleaning this up, as this has all gone way past the line now – mods, so as to preserve Snowball’s thread for him, and to cleanse it of some of the crap, is it easy to delete all posts not made by Snowball?

I've stopped.


Will probably start again. I've never thought of myself as "rising above"


It's a bit like being dragged down to a lower level

That would be a bizarre thread.


Perfect evidence that Snowball was a mad as a bat.

[cmonurz]

Thought it a good idea myself. Gets rid of all the unsavoury stuff, and at least half of the arguing, saves Graham bandwidth, and retains all the stats you have posted. A fresh start if you like.

[Wycombe Royal]

It isn't that people don't like them (there are a handful obviously, but not me), but you need to be able to take criticism, and maybe even take some of it on board. This is a discussion forum. If you don't want your stats to be discussed stick them on a blog without a comments section. If you want to keep putting them on here then do so but be a bit more gracious with any criticism they receive rather than the I'm right, your wrrng attitude they you give out all the time. That is where all this started.

I shall say no more.

Right thats it. All the other stuff I can take but the moment someone starts talking about themselves in the 3rd person theyu've stepped over the line.

Let's just delete the entire thread for all our sanity

No, there is some decent stuff on here which has got a bit lost..........

[floyd__streete]

What disturbs me however is the level and nature of criticism levelled at Snowball for his posts. It's really reached a ridiculous level of vitriol and personal attack that I find distasteful.

Have you not read the insulting language he uses towards those who dare question the reems of (often inaccurate) stats he posts?

[Snowball]

Have you not read the countless insults he has received and has been receiving since January 2009?

And it's REAMS

this to the nth degree

[Snowball]

Why not have a stats thread which is separate

and another thread for the sensible, deeply-motivated constructive bloke
and other critics/moaners/WUMS to post as much and as often as they like about it?

Just separate the stats themselves


Or start your own stats threads (they will clearly be MUCH better)

and, OBVIOUSLY, people will flock to that "much better" stats thread

and this one will die on the vine

IN for Snowball having a blog that no-one will read. This coming from someone who tried the very same thing, got lonely and came back.
