Please remember that the behaviour we expect of people on the side of a pitch also applies to people when posting on the forums. For those who were not around or who have short memories, we have, in the past, been reprimanded by the FA and the league for comments posted on the forums which were insulting or disrespectful of other people from other teams.
If we get into a situation where this happens again, this resource may be withdrawn, so please be mindful of the fragile nature of the existence of these forums. We are one of very few clubs in Sussex who have managed to maintain forums without needing to close it down due to offensive behaviour of the posters and it would be a shame to join the ranks because people get carried away.
PLEASE:
Make sure that the match reports or comments are respectful of all parties involved. This includes referees, opposition and supporters.
Refrain from including any offensive names or terms for the aforementioned people. This includes putting the same words in different ways (i.e. spelled backwards) as an attemmpt to be witty. It isnt.
Remember that the club can and has been held accountable for the messages posted here so do not immitate or encourage insulting, offensive or otherwise disrespectful behaviour, here or at matches.
Remember this is kids football. It isn't the premier league, nor will it be. Let's make it a positive experience for the kids rather than an example of how bad the grown ups can behave.
