Admin statement:
We've had quite a few messages about comments from various members and a number of those were complaints. From the start we said this is a members forum and each opinion is as valid as the next. As long as it's not abusive towards a member, no action will be taken. You may not agree with what is said, but it doesn't mean it is not allowed or worthy of removal. If we were to remove posts we don't agree with, this would become just like the official forum used to be. We want to avoid that.
We have not removed or edited any posts over the last few days and simply let everyone get on with it. However a large number of posts have been removed or edited by the original poster. This refers to opinions and language. Yes some of the language used has been strong, but we originally asked if this was an issue for members and the consensus was it wasn't, so again unless it becomes abusive, it will remain. We prefer it was toned back, but it's up to individual members to decide if it is appropriate.
We have also had several messages from some claiming to act on behalf of the county board. They refuse to identify themselves and therefore their message carries no weight.
This forum allows members to have a unique username of their choosing. Several are well known and have no problem with people knowing who they are. It is not however a secretive forum and users will not be warned or removed for discussing who they are.
This is all about our passion for all things Armagh GAA and sometimes it may get the run of itself. Relax and enjoy the forum. Some choose serious discussion. Others choose to use it as a comical release. Both, or indeed other ways to enjoy the forum are all acceptable. If you don't like what someone posts or says, ignore it or them and move on to the next post. You can even choose to ignore messages from certain posters in settings and also follow others if you wish. We won't be removing someone or asking them to tone down just because you don't like what they say. Remember not everyone will like you either. Since we started this forum we have blocked 3 users because they were obviously foreign spam accounts - most likely Russian - and two for impersonating another user. We haven't removed or edited a single other post.
Folks, this has been a great place to be over the last couple of years and we hope you agree. We stay in the background and don't interfere. We really want it to stay like that. Please help us by self regulating.

To be honest as we are of a similar run we have seen the lows and highs and also we both have played a bit so we know what the craic generally is.
