I just want to put my two pence in, I've been coming to this site for nine years now, I have no one in the know, I never post anything that seems otherwise.

I remember posting about seven years ago because I played for the same team as Craig Bellamy and there was someone else we played alongside, wanted to know what had happened to him and Ed 01said he'd heard of him and would find our.

I posted when Gary Speed unfortunately left us and due to going through a bad divorce at the time maybe said a bit too much of how I was feeling at the time, Ed02 obviously had to edit my post but responded and helped me where I was at that time.

Guess what I'm saying is when sometimes some of us feel we have nothing else left, we still come on here, we still read everything and, if we feel we can, we may post.

No disrespect to any other eds, but ed01 and especially Ed02 for that night I was really low, I thank you both from the bottom of my heart. It's a thankless job you do at times but please know, you make a massive difference to some people.

This isn't me kissing butt or anything like that, I've been in dark places and not only the eds bot the posters on here have helped me out or taken my mind off things. Ed02, you may not realise but you helped more than you can imagine know that one night.

There's a lot here that don't appreciate the every day things the eds do but I'm betting I wasn't the only one that got that far and the eds or the posters helped in one way or the other.

I don't post much but seeing some of the abuse towards the eds recently I felt compelled to do so. There's people on here who have different views to me but we're all one big family and will disagree as families do, just drop the crap about the eds, they do hell of a job because they choose to. Thanks eds and posters, helped me through a lot, will never forget and I know will never walk alone.

{Ed002's Note - These are wonderful and kind words WelshScouse. I truly thank you on behalf of the Eds and it is heart warming to see we may have helped in someway. I hope is life is settled for you now. I can be a tiny bit harsh on some folks, you have probably not noticed that, and I had had arrived in England from Los Angeles mid-morning and certainly could have done without any abuse. I will make sure that the Liverpool masses don't suffer at the hands of a few. I do have a little something lined up but looking at my diary this morning October looks even uglier than I realised (as do the first two weeks of November), so it might take a while.}

Welsh, it's good to hear you're in a better place and you're absolutely right with all the points you make.
There's far too much vitriol on this site sometimes and I'm sure a few imbeciles will even click the "disagree" button but although I post much less frequently than I used to I still visit regularly and when I read posts like yours I'm glad I do. YNWA.

{Ed002's Note - Good to see you still hiding in the bushes Chris.}

This is how amazing this site is. I think the Eds do a great job and the support I've seen given is unbelievable genuine fans are more than welcome to post because they are hugely passionate for Liverpool football club but these trogs who come on to make peoples lives worse go somewhere else. Every genuine fan and Eds keep up the good work keep looking after each other. COYR YNWA.

Great post WelshScouse and I hope things have got a lot better for you since. This site is easily the most reliable source of football information on Liverpool and others, but also I've seen eds and posters help out with all kinds of life situations if someone needs help. I don't post often but I'm glad your post has highlighted what a great site this is in so many ways. Glad you are back in Blighty Ed and hope you can ignore the trolls.

I think a lot of us will echo the post from Welshscouse. The eds take their time for free and give us so much. Anyone who abuses them so go on the Man U site, the Arsenal site, the Southampton site to name a few. They are not the same without the eds.

Welsh, I'm glad the eds were able to help and hope things have picked up for you. At least you have the mighty reds to watch today 😌

Regards

Crooky.

Cracking post WelshScouse, not the easiest thing to express but you did a good job. Hope the waves on life's ocean are less choppy for you atm.

{Ed001's Note - it was a lovely post, one of those that makes it worthwhile doing this.}

Ed02 anything you choose to share or not to is completely up to you. I understand sometimes the few can get under your skin more than the many because you might have 1000 people read your responses and have 3 of those respond positively and 3 negatively so you wonder why you bother, the other 994 are reading and appreciating but may not say it, whether it be due to lack of time or just can't be arsed with the abuse the response may get but please, all eds please believe, for every troll that posts, there's a hundred avid readers and followers that appreciate everything you do, even if we don't tell you.

Thank you everyone for your kind words and wishes, really means a lot. Hopefully a good win today but either way, we'll still be on here after the match, agreeing, disagreeing, whatever, we may be a dysfunctional family at times but it's our Liverpool rumours family and always will be.

YEAH JFT96.

I to posted on here in June when I lost my mother in law to Lung Cancer and the amount of support my family got from the Ed's and fellow posters took us out of a very dark place. In fact my wife still reads them from time to time.
So in short Ed's we need you.

I hope to see more posts from you WelshScouse - it was good to come on here this morning and see such posts. This is how it should be, having some appreciation instead of giving them hassle. but as the saying goes, there's always one! or in this case the odd few, odd been the keyword here. I said it about and I'll say it again, how anybody can give the eds hassle is beyond me, they deserve medals the size of frying pans.

Welsh, ed1 and ed2. thank you!

And just a shout out to ed01, I know the initial post was targeted a lot to Ed02, I ended up getting back with her for the kids sake and went through it all again, the responses you send, the time you take out to be specific and genuine honest answers, and the pod casts, gives people a break from reality, an escape if you will, and a lot of people need that massively so thank you for everything you do, you're all appreciated more than you know.

{Ed001's Note - you are very welcome mate, I really hope things are going better for you now.}

In a much better place now thank you everyone, divorce finalised and moving forward with life, they say life's too short and after 16 years of that, they're right. I remember posting when you were going through that Barry and reading the amazing posts of support you got. Glad you and your missus took a lot from it.

My initial post wasn't for me but for the eds, I really appreciate all the kind words from everyone, don't get me wrong, but just got to the point after everything they do for us when they don't have to, had enough at the snide, arrogant, nasty digs at the eds, they don't deserve it and although I don't post often, just wanted them to know that they are very much appreciated and part of the family.
