Edit - aye @The Mantisis a v v v v good poster on there and on here. Sook. 2 hours ago, SandyCromarty said: Absolutely spot on with yer observation, I have a look from time to time and cannot believe how some of the moderators overreact what to me is a little banter but to certain moderators it's highly derogatory and worthy of a loaded gun warning, and yes the site is on it's knees due to this. I came out of the site many many years ago when that self opinionated clown Caley D was lording over the site. Mind you I always have a lot of time for Mantis and his weighted and sensible posts. Sook. Is @RiG shite then I think Scotty and CaleyD are joint owners of the site but Don stood down as a mod. I think they have to pay a fair bit to keep it going so that's why they have sponsors. Away back in the early days Scotty had a few mates like me and Gringo who drank at the Caley Inn so that's why we were mods. The site was far more popular back then, and in the seaside leagues most of the posters knew each other so there was less hassle, but fans forums have all moved on, it's not just CTO that has suffered with the growth of other media. It would be good to get younger mods but people can't be ersed. It's a thankless task and there's usually more going on under the surface than people realise. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Mantis and TBF Scotty has always come across as a nice reasonable man but I feel he gave Caley D too much leeway, I left when he posted a highly offensive disgusting picture of a well known poster on CTO and from time to time on here. I did read that Scotty is experiencing serious health issues at the moment and I sincerely hope, as I know he will, that he comes through it fit and healthy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiG Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Looked a bit of a haddy most of the time I saw him play but sometimes looked like there might be glimpses of a player in there. A good pre season might have made a difference for the guy so I'm a bit sad to see him go. Hopefully we've got a few faces coming in to play in the wide areas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highland Capital Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 So long. Farewell. Auf wiedersehen. Goodbye. Weird move considering he knocked back Derry to sign for us. I’d have liked to have seen how he’d have done with a proper pre-season behind him which alas now shall never be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Think he was doing some sort of degree whilst playing in North Ireland hence why he didn't look fit. A full time pre-season and training most days would've seen him shift a bit of timber he seemed to carry. Ah well, will be interesting to see who Robbo brings in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandyCromarty Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 He didn't look fully fit to me and I felt he would have probably been better blooded in front of defence in some sort of slot, I wish him well in his endeavours. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highland Capital Posted June 7, 2019 Share Posted June 7, 2019 Have we ever signed a player from Northern Ireland and it's actually worked out? Curtis Allen was also 'homesick' and unfit as I recall. I can't think of any other players we've brought in from the Irish League. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
