Nelson captain, McCormick Club Captain (+Daily Mail article)

[Cobi Budge.]

Sensationalist rubbish from a failing newspaper, stuff like this should inspire Luke to greater heights. Nigel Farage gets the same media put-down every week, although the depth of the accusation is obviously not as serious, but it shows if they have something against you they will take it to the limit.
There's not a member of the Green army I know who hasn't the greatest of sympathy for the Peak family and we all wish it had never happened and many of us as parents couldn't even imagine the pain they are going through, even now.
God bless them, I hope in time they will be able to to look at Luke with some forgiveness in their hearts.

On the flipside what does annoy me though is Argyle fans making statements of such serious nature on global social media, knowing full well how it would affect the club and potentially usurp Argyles promotion chances. I find it difficult to see these people as true Argyle fans who want the very best for their club. In the early days of McCormick's return I recall statements by some of those quoted in the article as very anti. I don't wish to name names, but we know them very well and some comment on this site frequently. I hope they are proud of themselves and the potential damage they have done.

Just want to say to Luke McCormick:

Luke I would like to affirm you and say that my family and myself know you are a good man and I'm sure that those events of a few years ago haunt you most days, but you must learn to forgive yourself. You didn't go out that day to hurt anyone, it was a most tragic accident.
Don't listen to those who store up hatred in their hearts and don't be like them. Show by example that men can rise from the most tragic of circumstances and make a difference in this world. Go and have a championship winning season and prove those doubters wrong.

Brian & family

What a simply cracking post.

The thread has been split, please do not speculate regarding the incident/tragedy with Luke McCormick. Thanks.

I didn't so why has my post disappeared?

 

[Womble]

I didnt speculate on anything - merely stated it was unwise for the club to appoint Luke as club captain. To pretend past events never happened is ridiculous.

One of mine quoted someone who did, but none of the others had anything remotely speculative about them. Strange.

At the time I didn't have the time to pick and choose the posts, the thread had moved into dangerous territory so I moved a block of posts from the first speculative comment onwards. Some posts have now been reinstated to this thread.

Indeed. Didn't notice anything when I commented and I am very confused why mine has been "moderated" and is still missing given I basically just agreed with X Isle...

There's no conspiracy here folks. None of the mods were on their computer and Ian was only on his phone, it's very difficult to split a thread on your phone so he just cut the thread where it put us in a position to have to act. Some posts were probably fine and I'm sorry that they were moved too, but Ian did what was best.

It would be handy if some posters self moderated on occasions and didn't write things that are likely to upset people.

 

[Womble]

Daz i dont think anyone at all suggested a conspiracy. But some people are geniunly unhappy about the appointment and should be allowed their veiws.

 

[Daz]

No one is saying you can't have views Womble, repost them if you like. I was explaining why some posts that didn't need to be moved were.

I agree fully with the Site Manager here. We all know why some fans are unhappy at the appointment of LMcK and do not need reminding of the events, aftermath or how it affects people. There is no requirement to discuss the tragic event in detail again.

Your original post wasn't reinstated because part of it mentions the subject matter that caused some posts to be removed.
The second part of your post was about McCormick appointed as club captain and your feelings on this.
If it's so important to you please feel free to post your feelings on this again.

To use the removal of some libellous posts as a reason to say you're not allowed to have a view on the appointment of McCormick as club captain is wrong and mischievous.

The quicker this post is removed will be the better for all concerened.

 

[monkeywrench]

Post or thread dunlop?

If you mean the thread, it should stay but people need to self moderate and use common sense.

 

[dick.argyle]

The quicker this post is removed will be the better for all concerened.

I agree

The Daily Mail is undoubtedly the worst (by far) of our gutter press. They have no scruples at all about printing blatant lies in support of their scurrilous campaigns. They have a record of this and they refuse to apologize when their lies are exposed.

Pay no attention to the Daily Mail - it is a bucket of poo. On second thoughts, I apologize because that statement is an insult to the bucket of poo.
