Afternoon to the Muckers 👋👋👋

I am an AVFTT stalwart and read this site every day and have never read any rumours of that nature. Even did a search on previous threads and can’t find anything.

I came off Twitter because of all the utter nonsense so-called Blackpool fans spout on there - read it after we’ve lost a game!
 
Didn’t the Muckers infamously take a few thousand season tickets in the West and fail to sell them 🙄
 
"Avftt is a burden on Blackpool fans as a whole and literally causes nothing but trouble"

If it was a burden nobody would be posting on it.
 
And just remember Poultongirl saying the shirt to year 2 children was a Muckers idea. Lads, it doesn’t matter whose idea it was, if you want to fund it, over to you...
 
I definitely have read that rumour, and I'm 99% sure it was on here too - but I'm too lazy to find it to be honest. It wasn't necessarily posted as a fact, but more as speculation. There is some nonsense posted on here let's be honest, but most posters on here see it for what it is and call it out immediately. I much prefer reading opinions/news on the team here than on twitter. Some of the baiting the twitter accounts do make me cringe to no end. Though I do love the memes.
 
I don't think drawing attention to a dubious tweet is causing division Blood. If the tweet doesn't get written, there is no discussion, is there?

Someone has got their nose out of joint, by the looks. It's a bit pathetic when you consider what a good news story it is.
 
I mean it's a strange coincidence that both Robson and Madine literally were "injured" straight after deadline day. Whether that's reading too much into it, I have no idea but we all know Robson wanted a move.
 
I think its simply a generational thing with the Muckers. They, along with my Blackpool supporting son, see avftt as the home of boring old farts. They are entitled to their views and best left to it.

Didn't know anything about Robson. Anyway I've no idea if there's any truth in either of these rumours. But we can't do anything about it, so I'm not going to concern myself whatsoever.
 
The Muckers are a frustrating lot. It is thanks to them that the North Stand is the best end in League One (and in my opinion its absence this year has cost us more points than any tactical decision by Critch or injury problem) and they do some great charitable work as well. Why then do they need to let themselves down with that Twitter account of theirs?

They seem to enjoy using it to constantly stir up controversy. If they aren't having a dig at us AVFTT users regarding a rumour that no-one seems to know anything about then they are having a go at BST, most recently suggesting the shirts for kids was their idea and BST stole it (Andy Holt has been doing this at Accy for years, if anyone can claim the credit for the idea it's him). On top of the constant jibes at other fans, they seem to have an opinion on every major political argument going as well. It is as if whoever runs their Twitter account likes nothing better than a good row.

Why can't they stick to what they are good at (they should be really proud of the atmosphere they create in the North and their charity work) and keep away from the petty bickering on Twitter.
 
The same guy said it a few times on here on the last occasion he said it's a well known fact. I challenged him saying I'd never heard it and I'd not heard it from anyone else. in fact he was the only one spouting it. Critch even made Madine captain away to Bristol Rovers, I wish I could remember who it was.
 
I do remember reading something about Madine and Critch on here but it was by a typically negative poster and they seemed to be putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with a recipe for Tiramisu.

Negative and Spouting 😮. Is that how people see me, sad emoji.

I know Madine and Critch have never seen eye to eye, couple of minor arguments.

Found it odd about his current length of absence recently, so asked the question. Some times it is just an injury, but not on this occasion. Massive bust up in the changing room after the Wigan game with Critch, Madine and other players - in defence of Critch and giving Madine what for.

Contract talks had been happening about a 1 year extension but both parties are miles apart on the figures for it.

Talks about the Wigan incident and new contract have been happening recently, but Gazza has shot him self in the foot slightly thinking the team would tail off without him.

Been told he's apologised to the squad and Critch, but the whole thing has left a bad taste in the mouth, it's lived long in the memory of the coaching and management staff.
 
I don't know how you know all that but thanks for owning up. If it's genuine I'll bow to your superior inside knowledge.

Pardon my ignorance here, (it's only ever in my most peripheral vision), but doesn't the name 'Muckers' refer to a cohort of Blackpool supporting hooligans in the 80s-90s? If so, wouldn't they be of the same demographic as most on here?

To be honest I’m not even sure if it was me, but all this a tallies with what I’ve heard over the course of the season, from someone high up at the club but you’ll just have to take my word on that one.
 
Manager falls out with footballer, it really isn’t a first is it. And if it is true then so what, and if it’s fake news then so what.

It doesn’t really but might mean we never see Madine again.

I think it depends if they agree a new contract. If they do he’ll be back if they don’t it might mean we’ve seen the last of wor Gaz

Yes fair enough, but we will be ok. I’d like him to stay but if things are afoot and he leaves we will be ok.

Critch’s comments in his last interview I thought were interesting, words to the effect of “ the problem with Gary is clearing its self up”, we could see him Friday. My info is about 6 weeks old.
 
It's an interesting thread this. I made a comment a few weeks back that if Madine didn't return soon I'd start a conspiracy theory. I didn't and hadn't seen The Muckers one until just now.
I do however listen to Critch's pressers and it does seem his comments about Madine have suddenly taken a more positive turn which gives credence to Rekt's comments, who's generally a reliable poster.
There's no question that Gary is a "prickly" character and with so many new players in the squad you could see him wanting to establish his place in the dressing room hierarchy.
So lets hope if there is any truth in this everyone has now kissed and made up and Goals Machine is back in the squad on Friday.

The Muckers were active in the 2000s. In the 80s it was Benny’s Mob and the Bisons in the 90s. Means although they are far from young, 30s to 40s, they are younger than us old codgers on here.

You're nearly right. They were actually a really shit cohort of hooligans who could just about handle half their number of Bradford City, but weren't really up to anything else.
 
Saw that and thought it was odd to tarnish the whole board, I'd personally not seen a single person talk about the madine thing so it's hardly been a rumour that has been circulating on this board

The muckers twitter account also slated AVFTT after that shirt initiative thread claiming it was full of negativity when pretty much every single post was positive, I think you could make an argument for 2 posts on that thread not being positive but they were hardly negative either.

I find twitter more unbearable than this forum in relation to Blackpool FC.
 
As long as you stay off the Politics forum, this board is still a decent read. In fact the last 12 months it's felt more like AVFTT used to be and I think we've got back some decent posters again 👏

I haven’t seen anything either.
 
This board at least once again talks about football. Personally i just get on with supporting my club, as i have for the last 56 years. Don't want any praise for it and certainly don't judge others, not even those who supoorted the club through the boycott. Don't need anyone to speak for me thanks, it's called supporting and i just try and crack on with it.
 
You’ve got your wires crossed love, football matches are safe for us females nowadays❤️
To be honest it’s embarrassing and a bit creepy that David Ragozzino (exposed on here sometime ago) is pretending to be a girl on this forum. As long as everyone knows it’s him then actually his posts become increasingly cringeworthy.
 
Never done twitter, no interest in that “platform” whatsoever even the club account( I believe they have one🤔) and the fact it was the mouthpiece of Trump says it all.

Are you sure ” she” isn’t...
might have been taking the hormones and gone the full monty and had a sex change during lockdown so nobody should have met up with him/ her to confirm
....but i certainly wouldn’t want to if he has😁not a pretty sight I would imagine....bit like that Liverpool fan in the Carlsberg Top I would imagine.

Absolute none sense &highlights the debate about avftt . All they did was put lots of individual season ticket applications in together to enable like minded individuals to create a bit of atmosphere in a particular part of the ground.
Edit to add The North
