Question

[guru_pitka]

Now i have a question to all you so called footy loving fans :D

everyday i come onto this forum and its the same fanboy nonsence all over everyday :rolleyes: some times it even drags me into it :p:D

why doesnt anyone like to talk tactics ,how they think their team beat their opponents ,analysed games ,what they thought of their managers tactics ,what you think the tactics would/should be for your next oponents

AND WHY DOES EVERYTHING YOU POST HAVE TO BE FROM A WEBSITE TO BE TRUE :sick:

why cant you guys just give your honest own opionions :confused:and not taken from some website

So far there are 2 posters who's post i enjoy reading its Poolmania (can see he takes his footy serious and it his own opionion) and Smokeski :D the blue
thanks for the insightfull posts :)

dont get me wrong guys i love the Banter that goes on ,but it would be cool to just talk about a games tactics aswell

[dbecks]

I agree 100%. It gets a bit much that everything has to be researched or else you cant share your opinions/viewpoints. Sometimes its better to show you knowledge by actually showing it rather than sourcing it- And by no means do I dismiss proper facts.

I also accept the title of a FanBoy (i.e. A passionate fan of various elements who is completely loyal to a game/company/team/comic etc. regardless if they suck or not.)-And yes there are many other definitions;)

P.s. Thought I'd share another definition (i.e. FanBoy: A pathetic insult often used by fanboys themselves to try and put down people who don't like whatever it is they like. Fanboys also usually use the word 'own3d' if they beat someone. ):)

Here is the website just in case: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fanboy

I try not to get too serious on the forums. There are real football forums that I visit to discuss more serious matters. I usually just pop in here while at work to make a quick comment.

Oh I enjoy the banter with Supesta, Genius and the United fans.

so why not discuss serious footy matters here aswell ;)

That's because here, if you critise your own team, you are branded as unloyal and dastardly! Though, the 'pool/arse fans have never gotten slack for it so it must be a Chelski thing. ;)

Though I have a even more profound question. In the absence of sterling results and various quoted players saying that Barca is the best team in the world... What would Genius and Supa have to say? I've only been active this side for about 4-6 months and don't really know how they reacted and what they said last year...

Put it to you this way - Genius was banned about half a dozen times with his cloned nicknames before evolving to "Genius".

What I've come to learn is that if you support Man United, you are crapped on constantly and told by some to be a "bandwagon" supporter. Results & statistics holds no water to those who love schitting on your team for no reason, other than the fact that they hate them.

to be fair guys Im not attacking Genius and Supa ,it just amazes me that no one here talks tactics in their posts, and when they do they do, its through an article written by some journo :( who nobody even knows

Because many hold their teams dearly to their heart and when they are criticised or slandered, everything gets personal (which is a natural reaction to anything we hold dearly), but it seems that many have the maturity levels of a 10 year old. I've slowly been drawing away from the footy section. It's just too childish now. It seems that Fernando and only one or two others actually know what they're talking about.

[Genius.]

Problem with talking tactics is - that each of us support different teams. I watch the top 4 in England/Spain/Italy every weekend.

I cannot speak tactics to you about Barca. Why? Cos you only watch Liverpool play and maybe United or Chelsea?

Most here only watch their team play and thats it. So if you are hinting at all the little camps talk tactics between themselves, then go ahead.

Boet ,why would you in the first place let other people influence you ,just come here and enjoy the banter ,if certain people piss you off just dont get involve

ps when are we going to have 1 of our bets again :D

You could have fooled me. Not once did you comment on a Barca or Real Madrid game.

NOT once!

Quick trivia. Who played most games for Barca in the defensive midfield position this season?

Because no one wants to be in a place where one is constantly ridiculed and slandered for supporting a certain team.

About the bets - bring it on :p

:eek: dude are you for real , i'll humor you ,i think in the begining its was Besquets ,but he hasnt played alot recently ,dont know if im right as i dont research my answers ;),but that was anal of you :mad:

[Genius.]

Anal of me, for asking a question? You claim to watch Real Madrid and Barca yet this is the first time you have commented on the topic.

So if i were to talk tactics to you, my guess is you wont be able to answer judging from your ''i think it was Busquets'' answer.

what the heck does tactics got to do with me answering a stupid question of yours :confused: :rolleyes:

[Genius.]

All i am saying is, that if you dont even know which players played, how would you know about the tactics?

Evidence to me that you dont watch La Liga as often as you claim. The next game Barca and Real plays, i will ask you about their tactics and the oppositions tactics. ;)

WTF :eek: so now you giving me homework aswell :rolleyes:

[Fern9do]

I think the problem is that unlike most footy forums, this is one where theres fans from different teams discussing things. Its hard to have a serious discussion in that kind of enviroment,compared to when you are at a forum that is specially dedicated to a particular team.

I don't know of any really popular football forums other than ones dedicated to one team. The enviroment is just ont right. In a forum like this banter rules.

Think genius got it spot on. We cant discuss tactics in detail because not all of us watch the same matches, or follow the same teams. Theres a few Arse fans, a few Barca, a few Liverpool, one Inter fan and alot of Man Fans. I doubt anybody on here watches All those leagues.

Which is a big reason why threads were dedicated to ONE team were created - so that fans of THAT team could discuss what they wanted to about that team in there. But this has been too much for some people to understand.

Although i have to admit serie a is 3rd on my list. But i follow all of them closely.

It's an Internet forum FFS, how does a question you ask make any difference. You could of looked it up before you asked the question which would mean you didn't know the answer either. On the other hand Guru could of checked before he replied and gave the correct answer and you wouldn't be any wiser.

Common sense please is all that is required in this forum.

You make me laugh. Thx for that.

How would he have looked it up?

One would have to watch the Barca games week in and week out to see who had more starts in that position. Even the Barca website doesnt give you the starting lineup stats.

Anyway...

Now i have a question to all you so called footy loving fans :D

everyday i come onto this forum and its the same fanboy nonsence all over everyday :rolleyes: some times it even drags me into it :p:D

I couldn't be bothered, every supporter is different.

why doesnt anyone like to talk tactics ,how they think their team beat their opponents ,analysed games ,what they thought of their managers tactics ,what you think the tactics would/should be for your next oponents.

Amongst your own supporters, absolutely, but discussing with opposition supporters is like having an argument with your wife/gf. Fernando said it best.

AND WHY DOES EVERYTHING YOU POST HAVE TO BE FROM A WEBSITE TO BE TRUE :sick:

Well, it's something I noticed here on these forums, especially from two spanish lads when it comes to comparing Messi or Barcelona against the world. They also use Goal.com alot which has a lot of inaccurate, rumour galore, made up stuff.

why cant you guys just give your honest own opionions :confused:and not taken from some website.

I think many do give their honest opinions, well I do.

thanks for the insightfull posts :)

Thanks for the mention, I love the game and Liverpool and I say how it is. I see from your posts that you have quite some knowledge on Liverpool which is good to see because most of the Liverpool supporters (the ones I've met anyway) don't know the other important things about Liverpool such as the Ray of Hope Campaign, Hillsborough and so on.

dont get me wrong guys i love the Banter that goes on ,but it would be cool to just talk about a games tactics aswell

Nothing wrong with banter as long as you can give it and take it at the same time. The two spanish lads need a lesson in taking it.


Fernando's post was the standout one on this topic. It's difficult not to get in stupid/senseless arguing on a forum such as this where you get supporters from all the big clubs around the world.

[Genius.]

You forgot to add that there are alot of bandwagon supporters on the forum as well.

Lets not forget, they add to the flavour of this forum.







:D

[SuPaStA]

Think some of them need to start a netball forum and comment on that, as they always have to post these long boring threads/posts about how offended they are about the football banter.

I Agree!!!!!! CHELSEA FTW!!!!!





Jokes aside... since it's mainly EPL and ECL on this forum, the discussion could be a bit more introspective. I don't really watch La Liga nowadays - I have neither the time nor the patience. While I was overseas... it was a constant fixture on my calender due to friends wanting to watch it.

[SuPaStA]

Before we started posting on here it was a forum dedicated to manu and anything bandwagon related.

[smokey]

I've noticed a few more Barca supporters recently... Also part of the "Prawn Sandwich Brigade" or not?

[hj2k_x]

You have absolutely no idea what you were talking about, again.

The forum was going very well for more than a year before you arrived.

IIRC there were around 5 United supporters, 4 Arsenal, some chelsea and the same number of pool ones.

It is not rocket science to work out what has gone wrong since then.

[smokey]

Apart from myself and poisonous, I haven't seen a single Chelsea supporter on these threads. Maybe I scared them off with my constant rambling about that French buffoon we continue to play on the left... You know... He-who-should-never-be-named!

[poolmania]

You make me laugh. Thx for that.

Well you obviously don't know how to search on the Internet. I'll get back to you. I like a challenge.

[smokey]

Have to agree with poolmania... There are so many bloody places on the internet to get info like it is reall an embarresment of riches.

Expecting SuPaStA, Genius, mercurial, hj2k_x, dbecks ...you can put Alan85 if you like... to be objective is too much to ask I think. I would leave myBB if that happens. :)

hahahaha that gave me a good laugh for the morning.This forum was filled with only manu talk before we came here and anyone who said anything bad about manu was insulted.I even remember you got one of your "mates" banned who was not a Manu Supporter.

Anyone chatting about another team was rare, now there is variety and people who have actually seen a la liga game (don't worry you not in that equation)

Point of my question was to see if he knew the answer immidiately. That link you posted still doesnt say who started more often.

The position i talk about was occupied by a player, the other players rotated with him.

So even tho they might have similiar ''appearances'' stats, one would have to watch the bulk of the games to actually answer the question.

Another thing, there are a few users on here that dont use the internet to debate.

This was a MAN UNITED forum! If anybody said anything bad about United they would get banned. I am glad we have a host of different supporters now.

I enjoy the banter. Especially during the big matches and of course the week leading up to the CL.

We enjoyed the banter long before your arrival. With the Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea fans.

Arguing with haters is pointless and gets very boring very quickly.

So what you are saying is that this forum was reserved for English Premier League supporters?

Nobody is stopping you from leaving if you hate it here so much.

I shall humour you.

I think you know full well who I am referring to as haters.

Point is, banter in the permier league threads and champions league threads is great - the club threads should be reserved for supporters of that club to chat. It really is not that hard. But it seems I have to say it so often. And you still don't get it.

[SuPaStA]

No. But support another team at least. Don't just hate. It is pathetic.

It is not that hard to fathom. And it happens that way on many other fora.

Then the banter can be kept to the various competition threads - FA Cup, League or CL or whatever.

Reminds me of that time he got the one user banned (forget his name) and then told the guy he never reported him and that they should go for a drink.
