[Essien19 1,415]

Dude, it's a football forum - It really shouldn't be this deep man

Had to say something about it and got a bit too emotional, i think.

It's all good for now.

[MefiX19 1,092]

Zolayes if you reading this, i miss you...

Yeah he was aggresive a lot, but at least you shoud gave him a 2 weeks ban like you did with Pacqiao.

Imo some other members deserves this more than him, he always got good points and it was intresting to listen to his old stories.

That man survived a WW2, but not a war on forum!

Btw guys- MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

I understand Essien19's point of view, this was basically the second home of zolayes.

And I can imagine, as a 80 year old fan, it's one of the best and most comfortable hobby's to chat at home with your Chelsea buddy's.

Zolayes was probably the biggest bully on the forum (also bullied me), so I understand this ban, but at the same time he was also one funny guy and was the ''grumpy grandpa'' of the TC family. Maybe a 2 week ban as final warning was better, but I completely respect the decision of the staff.

@zolayes: if you're reading, you will be missed and we wish you a merry x-mas and a happy new year!

@others: enjoy your holiday and time with your family, Merry Christmas to all! ,

I was on the receiving end of Zolayes and then it balanced out and we found some common ground.

I will miss him.

Cantankerous is a word that sums him up perfectly. I think it's a shame he is banned. I know him and FB didn't see eye to eye and it's a shame as I think both are great posters.

It definitely won't be the same and I kinda liked that we had our very own Chelsea Pensioner on the forum.

I hope @Zolayes has a great Xmas and New Year.

I wish all the other forum members a great Xmas and New Year too!

Despite wanting to skype my family for several more hours I reluctantly went down into Manila and partied with the Pinoy in-laws. It was fantastic. Maligayang Pasko.

I also I learned the other day I have a half-Filipino half-sister named Jade, on my estranged father's side. What a world.

[Henrique 9,133]

So it seems the subject is @zolayes. Years ago I sent him this msg:

"After your comment about KGB I just realized how stupid and annoying you are. Idiot."

Then he replied:

"i realised you were an idiot months ago ...now fuck off you childish bastard."

Many things changes since that, and now we really got along. I was going to complain, but after reading the Rmpr/Rprm post I won't, since I don't know what was going on, but he definetely will be missed.

Its really sad that members who are pretty active and make decent posts, eventually they will go too far and break the rules.

Admin do not ban people lightly muzchap, believe me.

Think of a thread 10 pages long. Then consider it made up of complaints from other members, some of which left because of abuse, concerning one individual. An individual that failed to heed warnings. Warnings and gentle cajolings so more numerous than any other member would receive, because of his age.

Thats what we were dealing with and why admin had to act the way they did.

I liked Ron but the amount of complaints we had about him when I was a staff member was ridiculous. Was always walking a tight-rope back then and now, as I look at the forum as a member again, it's clear he was quite confrontational and would often try and provoke responses from people.

But anyways people, it used to really bug me when people discussed things like this publicly, so if anyone has any comments on this matter, they should PM the boss to discuss it! But fair play to Raphael for explaining the staff's rationale.

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

Zolayes was 80 ! fuck. So when opposition fans used to sing ''Have you ever seen Chelsea win the league'' he could say yes he would have been 20 in 1955. He was a prolific poster and I had no problem with him and it's sad that he's banned but I won't comment as I don't know the whole story. Anyhoo Merry Christmas to everyone and come on you blue boys three points today and lets start climbing up the table.

[Iggy Doonican 4,186]

I appreciate the adivce. I don't know about those members, but I've had thpse experiences with a few members. I haven't been as active on here because of that.

You should be careful what you write son ha ha. You've had experiences with a few members !!!!!!

I remember the very first thing I participated in when I became a mod (more than 2 years ago!) was a discussion about whether or not to ban zolayes and Sloth (later Kojo)!

I love Ron and its really sad to see the forum lose a legend like him but FIFTY FIVE warning points! Really can't argue about that..

If you're reading this, Ron, I wish you all the best and will miss you a lot. Take care of yourself.

Agreed mate. I think the topic about him reached 10 or 11 pages in the end. Madness.

Survived WW2 but couldn't survive TC - you couldn't make this stuff up

[Blue_Fox_ 2,086]

I've been meaning to ask, but why so many Emenalo Jr posting in this forum?

[DoubleO 192]

Me and my friend are coming to London for the NYE. Now I'm asking for your advice my fellow Chelsea boys: What is the best nightclub to go to? We are Uni students, so we would like to go some place where there would be roughly same aged people.

[11Drogba 2,000]

Heaven

[11Drogba 2,000]

There are more reasons but one of them is that Emenalo doesn't like Mourinho from the beginning.

The other is that he gets away with everything so far.

Until last week they used to say these about zolayes too.
