To suggest that Ronnie is being bullied online frankly is ridiculous. The bloke is the biggest wind up merchant on CL.
A constant target and undermined on here. By definition he is 'cyber bullied'. I don't see him getting involved so it's not like he is welcoming all the crap he gets. Easy joke for a lot of people.
No one knows for sure if he is a wum cause I doubt most of the people who actually talk to him on here actually know him.
He might be saying things for a reaction, but just because you can say something to someone, doesn't mean you should imo
Then again, this is a view coming from one of the most thin skinned people to ever exist on this forum allegedly.
On his own admission on another forum he deliberately posts on here to wind people up. The reaction he gets on here is in my opinion pretty good hearted
He should be banned.
If Seth gets a red card I'm really not sure why this individual does not get the same.

Apter and Kaminski picked out as our 2 key players by the Second Tier podcast.
Hadn’t seen that 9 of 12 Apter’s goals and assists were in the 2nd half of the season. They point out his good stats for goals, chances created and taking on players too.
God, I’m someone who likes a football podcast and a big fan of NTT20, but those two are a hard listen!
Two very knowledgeable guys on part 1 of the Championship. They must have quite a database and they seem to be well informed on every club. Enjoyed listening and it made me realise how out of touch I'm now with the 2nd tier compared to decades ago when I knew most of the Championship players.
CBT rated if he ever stays fit at Derby, Whitaker who scored 19 at Plymouth yet struggling to score for Middlesbrough. Ivanovich at 20 who is Millwall's prized asset and his partnership with Coburn. I had noticed the young Serbian when watching the highlights.
Rob Apter was picked out as the CAFC player to watch and interesting his progression from 4 years ago when on loan at Bamber bridge in the 7th tier. I knew Carey had a great end to last season at Blackpool and Apter's best stats were towards the business end of 24/25.
Look forward to listening to Part 2 now Charlton are back in this company after the mediocre 3rd tier for 5 seasons.
He told BBC Radio Lancashire: "Rob knocked my door down for the best part of three weeks, which is understandable.
"To play at a higher level is one thing, but when it gets into life-changing situations in financial terms, we have to respect the boy and wish him the best of luck. It's great to see a young kid come through and none of us wanted to lose him.

Apparently when Apter knocked on his door the first time, Bruce said I'm having my lunch, and Rob being a scallywag replied, ok gaffer, I will come back in two hours !
Sonny Carey, CAFC one 'under the radar' signing obviously shared certain things about his transfer to Rob. Charlton have taken a punt on Apter with the amount paid which is high by Charlton standards but reflects being a Championship side and having to move on from the pound shop at times.
We really haven't bought Rob for his defensive talent but his skills in going forward and how he can turn defenders inside out.
For the uninitiated this will be a rude awakening... New Pete & Bas track 'South Eastenders' features this choice lyric: "Pulling up in a black ranger raptor
Bald on the noggin, I slap fifty factor Any sales better go through P You think you're the plug, I'm the f***ing adaptor"
Surely a shoe-in as a soundtrack for any future Rob Apter highlights reels?
Had plenty of praise on other threads but how good was Apter today? There was one flick he did over his head before finding Carey that was fantastic, the kind of player who makes you immediately move to the edge of your seat
Very good player who wants to run at players. Needs to learn things defensively as there were a few times when Watford attacked on his side and he either wasn't there to cover or backed off a bit too much but when he's in the attack, he is confident and aggressive and has clever ideas on where and how to play the ball. Thought him and Carey were excellent together
Excited to see more of him. He's stepped up to a higher level every year since he first played senior football at non-league level. I think he'll do it again for us this season.
Really liked the look of him. He looked very confident and you get the impression looking at him he has the self belief he can hit a high level as a player, isn't here just for a pay day.
To be fair he did pretty well defensively, was challenging for it and seemed to have gas in the tank.
He also probably could have had 2 assists already, and nearly put one top bins, he attemps that shot a few more times and one goes in, one of those techniques.
Promising stuff, seems a real decent bit of business based on that game.
This is why I don’t understand people’s immediate reactions to when players go.
It was particularly bad around Small, not only around losing his talent, but with lots of accusations floating about that we were not willing to pay championship wages.
I am totally fine with people having an opinion, even if it’s based on limited evidence, but the strength of many of those were overboard at the time in my opinion.
I’d rather have kept Small, but it very much feel like what Apter might lose in physicality and athleticism he more than makes up for in technical ability.
I was on the AC stand so saw him closely in the second half. My impression was :
Excellent player Very small Not a wingback
Would agree but he may learn the position as he goes, a few times yesterday he was completely missing at RB when he’d pushed so far forward and couldn’t get back but luckily Ramsey is a machine.

Isn’t this sort of part of the plan of the system though?
But we can reluctantly give you Ahadme? - Have you got Southend to face this season, he'll score a hatful if so... Otherwise... Erm... Err... He seems a nice bloke to have around?

I think he'll score a few for us this season as well.
Overall the strength in depth has me really looking forward to this season.
Excellent player

Asking for a friend
so far pre season and yesterday they have both made a decent impact. Early days but first impressions are good
But we can reluctantly give you Ahadme? - Have you got Southend to face this season, he'll score a hatful if so... Otherwise... Erm... Err... He seems a nice bloke to have around?
Rob Apter, wooooah
He came in from Blackpool
He really dislikes Millwall…
