I really don’t want to see Cancel Culture on this forum, but if it persists I’m going to leave here completely.
Paul has been excluded from the forum for what is now years. He provokes conversation, and although I don’t always agree with what he says, I would fight for the right to say it.
When he was first excluded, I changed my user name from Zochlo, to my real name, so that I could stand by any comments that I made, and not hide behind a nom de plume.
It has already been mentioned that he is a member, but he can’t log in. Paul posted this on the Ramblers forum:-
“Just tried again this morning, i just get the "pending approval" message come up.
It probably shows me as a member, but one that is waiting approval.
I can view the forum, but cannot post (you need to be signed in to post)
I emailed Rendel yesterday about this, as yet, no reply from him.”
It’s about time that this was sorted out.

I agree Bruce, Sattsy should be back on here, he provokes good debate from a position of football knowledge.
A lot of the chat on here has been stale without his presence.

He's actually done a good (IMO) opinion piece on the stayings and leavings announced yesterday, it's on the alternative Ramblers' Forum, if anyone wants to look.

As I in a post in another thread mentioned that according to the members list sattsy was listed as being registered on the forum on 28th March and last on the forum on that date. so I have tried sending him a private email and seeing whether he gets it, although unless he replies I have no means of knowing whether it has reached him. However it is recorded in my outbox as being sent.
sattsy had been on this forum and the previous forum for several years, even going back to the Paul Murray and Dave Malone era so I hope this can be resolved.

Paul says:- “Bruce - Can you let Malcy (Unknownquantity) know on the other forum, that i never got his email. I see he said he sent me one. Maybe that's the problem, maybe the email address that the Forum has for me is an old one that i no longer use? In the meantime, i'll try and join using my name and work email address (which is the email i use and see everyday)” It would be good tto get this resolved. |

Rather than trying to resurrect the sattsy user name, can I suggest that maybe Sattsy could re-register under another user name, eg sattsy1 or whatever he wants.

Without going into all the detail it’s probably fair to say there was a fair bit of bad will generated between the 2 of us as well as consternation within various other sections of the club.
It’s been a while and I agree it would be good to move forward. With that in mind I have emailed Paul with a view to having a drink and clearing up some things, agreeing to disagree on others and (hopefully) shaking hands at the end of it.
If anyone is keen to discuss this with me further please free to send me a PM, i will reply to all messages, or happy to speak on the phone as required.
Thanks

I would also endorse Paul's return, like others have said he gives good insights to footballing views and gets debate going. However, the post Rendel has put up concerns me because he is asking Paul to meet for a drink and clearing some things up. Can he just let Paul re-enter and leave it at that, let bygones be bygones, nothing can be gained by having a drink and clearing things up, it might rekindle things unnecessarily. Lets have a new era, new beginnings, and leave the past where it belongs.

I totally agree, this forum is a better place with Paul on it and perhaps Rendel should put his personal feelings to one side and act in the best interests of the forum and thereby the club and it's supporters. |

There is a lot more that could be said about what has gone on and my offer of a drink to Paul about this remains open. I think it could be beneficial to both of us. Maybe I sound like a bit of an old codger here, but sometimes I think the modern world of online communication leaves a lot to be desired and some matters can best be resolved face to face over a drink or two.
I could say so much else, but I think just 3 words will suffice:
Welcome back Paul

We all love Paul, We all love Paul, We all love Paul, We all love Paul.
Please note this is not actually my own composition but borrowed from the Leeds United Song Book with the word Leeds replaced by the word Paul.
I assume this post will be removed if it results in royalties being owed to LUFC.

Hello everyone and thank you Rendel for approving my request to re-join this forum.
Thanks also for all the comments above, and particulary to Bruce who appears to have banged the drum for my return. It means alot.
As many of you will know, i don't come to games much at all these days, but will attempt to do so next season.

The thing is Paul:-
Where are you going to be posting the world famous Prediction League?
On here or on the Rambler forum.
Or both?!!!!!

Good question, Bruce.
I don't mind either or tbh, but i don't want to run 2 separate ones (twice the work).
I suspect most who play on the other forum, use this forum too, but i'm not certain as they might use different names on each forum.
If its been missed on here, maybe it would be good to bring it back to this one again.
I'll have a think about it over the coming weeks.
