Ok I'll bite here.
Personally didn't delete any posts, and wasn't even aware of any being deleted until now.
Mods are the reason there is a board though. It is nothing to do with personal gratification but we do carry the costs of keeping this board going for everyone's benefit (even those with opinions we don't agree with).
I've read the said posts and whilst I see you didn't necessarily glorify an event 47 years ago, I agree that we keep references to it off here and hence it should be removed. No matter our feelings towards the club they followed, no individual should leave home to go to a football match and not come home...end of.
Are all mods wankers ?
Pretty certain we've all indulged in a little bit of that in our time :
Keep the debate going lads, no one likes to moderate though, and in all honesty there aren't many times it's necessary.
