Personally I prefer to block the major trollers as I refuse to give them airtime, however fellow Pirates supporters are free to do as they wish and respond to whom they wish. That's the whole point of a forum my dear fellow. Hmmmm, not sure you can claim that. You know all the constant gloating is a form of trolling right? While I agree Poole are probably the most trolled club, there are certain individuals that bring that on. I can't deny Poole's success is impressive, but there are quite a few fans who like to make sure everybody knows about it.... a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Shovlar Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) I watched the meeting back last night on BSN. Yes, it was the utter trouncing I saw at the stadium. Track was very good, except for a rut which was quickly dealt with on the first bend. Racing wise it was dull, as Poole were completely dominant. From the start to the finish. An unfortunate emergency in the crowd gave the track staff to make the track ultra perfect, and the Glasgow team plenty of time to make all the adjustments they needed to get back into the meeting. They completely failed and it had absolutely nothing to do with changing setups. It was all to do with rider mentality and who wanted it. One team wanted it far, far more than the other and were operating at a completely different level. It had nothing to do with the race track. Once Poole were in front, they left Glasgow in their wake. Glasgow fans and others who were cheering on the Tigers moaned and groaned but they need look no further than the body language of the Glasgow team and manager. Beaten before a wheel had turned. For Poole fans there’s the old saying. When you’re Winning, you’re Grinning! Edited July 7, 2023 by Steve Shovlar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisa-colette Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) https://speedwayupdates.proboards.com/thread/21830/steve-worrall-testimonial-poole-30pm Seems Tom can ride Poole when he wants to. Prob feels too much pressure with Glasgow. Edited July 7, 2023 by lisa-colette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly don't have a Trackrat or a phillipsr at Poole, two posters who just troll Poole for the sake of it! Who do you suggest is a Poole troll? Nothing wrong in being a passionate supporter defending one's club (and themselves) when required.

Since you specified you don't have any trolls, I assume you agree with the other part of my sentence Unfortunately their success also results in them attracting sad people that can't help spout nonsense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so you've provided evidence right there that Poole supporters do not troll. So thank you for agreeing with me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep posting it as many times as you like...you have a rather strange interpretation of trolling in this instance.
