It is with deep regret that papsweb T/A Sotonians.com announces that Gay Abandon has been relieved of his official match thread starting duties by mutual consent with immediate effect . After long discussions between the papsweb board of directors and Gay Abandon, an agreement was reached at 18.26 this evening. Following two straight defeats against Stoke and against Mancester City, the papsweb board and Gay Abandon agreed that a change of approach would be best for all parties.
Papsweb would like to thank Gay Abandon for all his hard work in starting the official match threads over the last 2 games, and wish him continued success as a poster on the forum.
Gay Abandon took over official papsweb forum match thread starting duties following the surprise resignation of the highly successful Cracked Rib, who still remains papsweb most successful match thread starter, undefeated after 5 games.
Papsweb will now look to take its time to find the right man (or women) to take on this important role.
No further statement or any further details will be made public at this time nor will any details of the severance package.

Papsweb was right to āsackā Gay Abandon from match thread duties
Papsweb was wrong to sack Gay Abandon after only 2 games
What is the chemical symbol for Einsteinium?
Papsweb should bring back Cacked Rib for Match thread duties
I was against his appointment at the time, and took a lot of flack on here for it, but Iām surprised to see the board act so quickly. I couldnāt really see him turning it around though, so I suppose it makes sense. Out of his depth IMO. Hope the new guy has got more Experience.
To be fair to the poster formerly known as Cracked Rib, his new username was voted for by fellow Sotonians. He wasnāt keen, but has adapted gamesomely.
I would like the caretaker position for the Liverpool and Villa gameā¦ I just want to take it one match at a time, until the club decide what the best way forward for everyone at the club is. It is not about me, there is the much bigger picture of the future of match threads to think about. I am not throwing my name in the hat for the permanent position, but that would be up to the papsweb board!
If this position isnāt set up for Furbal I donāt know what is. Crowd favourite, In from the cold. Jesus wept - itās almost Christmas for Godās sake.
Gutted for the boy Abandon. But then, two losses from two matches is as poor a start as can be imagined. Perhaps, given time, he could have turned it around, but with the midweek game against Liverpool coming up, the forum board clearly felt that they had to act.
I think we can all join in wishing Gay Abandon well in the future; who knows, he may find himself a job as match thread starter on another forum.
In his first press interview since he left his position at Sotonians.com official match thread starter, Gay Abandon launched into a scathing attack against the papsweb board (the holding company).
Bollocks
āItās just plain wrong. I helped them out of a hole after that twat Cracked rib buggered off to those Northern London fuckwits Upthecockspurs.co.uk on a promise of a guaranteed weekly 150pts bonusā
āthe board are complete and utter c***sā. Mr Abandon then launched into a series of foul mouth nonsensical expletives aimed at those that, he feels have let his down. we apologise to any of our readers who may find his ācolourfulā language offensive.
I f***ing canāt f***ing believe these f***ing *rseholes, they are just so f***ing f**k, And another thing. Donāt f**king think they can come running back begging for me to return when whichever back stabbing bastard they employ is just as total bollocksā¦ Well not less I was offered double points and a new 250 point signing on badge that is.ā
Athough neither papsweb nor the Sotonians.com representatives have yet to officially repond, a source close to the board suggested that papsweb officials āmust be right f*cked off with what that arse*ole has been spouting in public - glad to get rid of the useless twat I would imagine - is a about time they considered someone with Intrnational experience anywayā

If the board do indeed feel the same as our āsourceā in the Philippines suggests, then Mr Abandon could be well and truly shafted by something small yet uncomfortable.
We await papsweb official response with interest as this could rumble on. And onā¦until it is definitely no longer amusingā¦
Well Iāve thought about this whole thing some more, and Iāve come to the conclusion that the removal of the boy Abandon was absolutely correct. After all, if a match thread starter loses twice in a row he (or indeed she) has to be out, surely. Yes, they say you canāt win every game, but I donāt see why the fuck not. Where the fuck is the ambition of this fucking forum? Where are the big-name signings? What the fuck is going on here?
Seems to me this fucking forum is still run like a shitty seaside bed and breakfast. Plus ca fucking change. Fucking. Fucking. Fucking. Fuck.
I say itās time to move onā¦to draw a line under whatās gone beforeā¦without malice, recrimination or regret.
We would all, Iām sure have liked to have seen Gay succeed but it was not to be and no campaign for reinstatement is going to paper over the bitter words already said on the manner of his dismissal.
Yes his Papship acted like a petty Napoleonā¦striding through the corridors of Sotonians.com, crushing any opinion seen to run in contravention of his win at all costs attitude. Others have already been sent into exile at his behest but it is only fair to say he still carries the support of his saleried staff.
He does however ride astride the razor blade of public opinion. If his new appointment does not deliverā¦and deliver quickly, I need not point out too graphicly where the next cut will come.
