A gripe of mine on this foz is the barrage that some foz members cop.
I’m talking about the members whose identity or at least official capacity at a club is known.
Lofty, Jardel, ForeverRed, Jason to name a few.

These types of members are usually great value for a place like the foz. They offer insight into the runnings of their club and competition and experiences. Not saying they are perfect or their comments can’t be argued or refuted, sometimes the comments can be heavily biased. But I think they cop a fair bit unnecessarily. Usually from anonymous accounts with the sole intention of trolling or taking personal shots.

Last week we saw a number of new members with no previous posts join to drive their agenda against Suns. (Both sides have now had their say and Newcastle football can deal with it).
We’ve just seen a few people take some shots at ‘Jason’.
We’ve also seen Lofty respond to a few comments in a rather professional manner stating the clubs position and interpretation. Sure you’re entitled to disagree with the premise of the post. But at least acknowledge it with respect.
We’ve just seen Jardel take time to answer numerous questions about Cardiff and always answers those questions directed his way.
There’s many other foz members with committee roles or affiliations with clubs that do similarly.


By all means, this foz is designed to have a variety of ideas and opinions on various things, and opinions will definitely differ and clash from time to time. But respect goes a long way. The foz had issues in the past with defaming posts. If you’re targeting an individual or a club with your posts, I’d be double checking prior to posting that you would be happy to post the same thing on Facebook/or even here if your real name and identity were attached. Anonymity on the foz is a responsibility not a right.
