Internet forums attract wind up merchants with little else to do with their time. I have it on good authority that Peabrain Falla has liked Heather's Facebook page and has a poster of her on the wall above his bed.

Those here who choose to belittle her achievementsso far in her young career, simply do not understand what it takes to have got this far or indeed do not wish to understand and ignore the FACTS that are clear to the rest of us.

We should be proud of her achievements as I'm sure she is and hope she will take these negative comments with a pinch of salt because for every negative comment there are hundreds of positive and supportive comments. Well done Heather, keep up the good work.

Moreso it is people winding each other up, some more successfully than others quite plainly. I follow Heathers progress as i am a guernseyman, as i did when Matt was playing, when Alison plays,when Lee runs etc. Back in the day i followed Marting Le M, Lisa Opie and any other Guerns performing om the bigger stage. Being in the top 50 in the world in any global sport, is whatever anyone else says, a great achievement. Keep up the good work and progress Heather, though i do hope she is too busy doing something else to read a lot of this nonsense. Deuce? I like to read the GP when i get home from

I thought that's what GM and Sparta do ad nauseum. Also, I find pb's harmless little Eddie the Eagle jibe a lot less 'personal' than poster 51's rather ironic pronouncements on who should be 'moderated' on this forum.

Everyone is entitled to express their opinion and that should continue. What should not is the bickering between 2 individuals which is invariably personal. For example post 46 and 49 as well as those which instigated your question. I also think that PB Falla's comment about Jimmy Savile could have been moderated as it crossed a line for the majority of posters. @ TIG – I don’t favour an outright ban but do think that better moderation is needed.
