JUST BEEN BANNED FROM BU FACEBOOK SITE

Tue Aug 06, 2013 6:33 pm

After this conversation where they were discussing the BU March thread on here:

ME: I have posted on the AAMB site with the same views I post on here. I find more division and quite frankly hatred coming from BU members towards fans who aren't members (of BU) and want change but want it in a different way than abuse going the other way round.

ME: The original post on here for example compared to the original post on the AAMB site.

SIAN BRANSON: Adam not sure what you are trying to say but the post was started as a way to undermine what we have planned good on anybody who sticks up for us. As you can see we get enough of a slating from BU haters
And I quote 'BU die.' Rather extreme don't you think

ME: Yes and I don't agree with daft comments like that at all, I was merely stating my opinion on the matter. The original post on AAMB is a genuine concern that many city fans have (once all of the amateur dramtics have been taken out).

I WAS UNABLE TO POST THE COMMENT ABOVE.

At the same time I posted on a different thread on the same topic:

ME: Quick question. Why do Bluebirds Unite always refer to the club as Cardiff City Bluebirds?

JONNY MOORE: Maybe because thats our clubs name

ME: Haha no it isn't!

THIS MESSAGE WAS DELETED

ME: Why has my post deleted? It wasn't offensive.

THIS MESSAGE WAS DELETED

ME: And true

THIS MESSAGE WASN'T DELETED

ME: Why are my posts being doctored?

MESSAGE APPEARS TELLING ME 'THE WEBSITE DOESN'T EXIST'

I then proceeded to have this sent to me:

JONNY MOORE: Unlucky loser

I don't understand the way with which Bluebirds Unite conduct themselves. They claim freedom of speech and freedom of expression and yet a simple and reasonable post is deleted and the user banned.

They always talk of a dicatorship and people have had they're opinions suppressed and yet they act in the manner shown above!

The Bluebirds Unite group is an unproffesional, hypocritical organisation (and I would hesitate to call them an organisation) that needs to change it's ways in order to get anywhere.

AS A DISCLAIMER: The only reason I have posted this here is because I can't post on the Bluebirds Unite site anymore.

You aren't interested in joining, so I don't see the problem here.

Don't worry about it. Seems abit clicky to me at a glance on there. At least they're not stopping you going down the stadium! :lol:

I dont read a lot about them but what I do read I find pretty poor.
I dont care if im a good fan a bad fan or what but I certainly distance myself from this group. The word bullies spring to mind.

What did you expect? If you go on there questioning BU, you won't last on there very long.

People who aren't members are always having BU's views forced on them via Facebook groups and forums, so to that end surely non members have a right to an opinion on the group itself?

But I am a lifelong Cardiff City supporter who, had questions been answered and any fears allayed, might have contributed in some way.

It's easy enough to block people online but the opinion is real and the opinion of other city fans cannot be brushed over like they don't exist. Surely that is one (of the myriad) of reasons that BU dislike VT for - not consulting/listening fans?!

TBH mate even though I understand your concerns about BU I think it would be a good idea to give there Facebook page a wide berth. I'm not saying you have done anything wrong, but they are so determined to disrupt the Man City game and spoil it for everyone else, IMO it's better to just completely ignore them and leave them to make fools of themselves.

I get that feeling, I liked the facebook group but some of the posts made me unlike it a day later, they say its not anti tan but all i saw on there were people taking the piss out of him. Its a shame as it started off well but it seems to be drastically going down hill

Cmon Chuckmeister, you of ALL people must see the hypocrisy here.

Many BU supporters are anti-Tan claiming he's a dictator and won't listen to the fans, yet a reasonable question on their FB page gets banned. I know you're not on the committee and I know you dislike the disruptive element but come on, how can even you defend a marginalised group of publicity seekers acting in this way?

If you dont agree with them your a fool,what worries me is a bunch of facebook warriors(not all many are genuine fans).Could do a lot of harm to the club with this march,i hate the rebrand as much as the next fan,but i realise we need to move on and tan is doing more for the club thyan any other owner has,my opinion of course

Annis assured us today that Sian has all the members under control. To say I find that statement a little dubious is putting it mildly.

I agree, its hypocriticl to an extent, but that's what happens.

It's the same on here. You all cry for Roathie to be banned, but all he is doing is airing his views on here too?

I assume that the OP also is for Roathie being allowed to post on here? As he's only airing views against the aim of the site... :thumbup:

The post isn't about roathie. It was a question that was doctored into a response that wasn't said, then deleted and insulted afterwards. I just feel the original views of BU are being lost and being replaced with people who want tan out of the club, which I feel will be disastrous for us. We've come on leaps and bounds since he's taken a more hands on approach. I'm not a pro red or anything, it's just it seems that the way BU are going about things are only going to cause more harm than good.

Re: JUST BEEN BANNED FROM BU FACEBOOK SITE

Tue Aug 06, 2013 7:07 pm

It's a similar story though. Either those here moaning that its unfair to that he's been banned from BU (because he's not a BU supporter) also say its unfair that Roathie is banned from here (because he's not a Cardiff supporter) or they are massive hypocrites.

I've been banned from cardiff related groups on Facebook because of my difference in opinions to the Admins in these groups, I personally find it amusing that they can't accept other people's views don't coincide with their own so they revert to throwing insults & banning you.

Was added to BU group but left as I didn't want to be in there to see all the shite that is posted in there.

Earnie mate that is their problem. They are so bloody minded the are happy to disrupt our historic season with a protest march. Apparently they are calling it a 'blue celebration' which no-one would object to if true, but one look at their Facebook page and it tells you everything about those involved.

Don't see what my views have to do with it, but it is my belief that those involved in the fb group are ruining the efforts of some really good people involved within it.
