London is the reason why he's going there, not because of Arsenal. That's a lifestyle decision.

Oh and we were never getting him. one never had the sense this was going to happen
 
its only a bit of fucking fun though, transfer muppetry is part of the fun of it all, i think people know that some sources are better than others and who gives a fuck if they dont. Dont want this forum to get so fucking serious
None of us want it to get serious, we all love the tangents and banter that can be had on here.

But it's not a free for all. Ultimately it's for football discussion too.

Speaking for myself, recently the forum has become soooooooooooo meh

If it's not Modo and Mark arguing, it's Ross wanting to shove twitter up hanserns arse! There's little debate to be had. If any good post does rise above the shite, it's lost nearly immediately due to a tangent.

We've tried as mods to split threads, create new ones, lock useless ones, but it's soooooo soul destroying. It's like being the gardener at Alton towers.
 
You should deffo get the piss taken out of you for posting shite sources. Twitter is no worse than Tribal Football or Bert from the Metro though.
 
Fair enough. Just create a bullshit twitter thread for non-journo tweets then and then get everyone to sign up to it and move any posts that slip in into that thread. Tell Ross to stay out of it, job done. I've nothing against Ross's opinion, just the way he's expressing it. That's just my opinion.
And it's a fine opinion to have, but there would have to be monitoring of it in case and forum dynamite is in there. All posters on here are capable of excellent posts on football matters, and there is the fear that creating a thread just for bollocks means we lost time and effort by someone. And that's a fucking crime.

I'd agree Ross should tone it down, but people should also realise this isn't a place to vomit their feelings on any wall, and smear faeces over each others work.

I like you @Semolina Lipton, you're a beast. There's so many nuances to this which we've tried to discuss MANY times in our Mod lair. It's not a negrito and white issue.

Ryan and Suarez Ban reductionists... etc etc. Time to take the summer off.

ye its a bit shit cause people keep arguing over petty points, to be fair though its been like that for a while, people have a go at modo for his shitty opinions but when i joined it was spider neil getting it up the arse. Ive never mod so i can understand it may be a pain in the arse but i like to see a light touch approach, let people chat shit if they wana chat shit, soon it'll be lord of the flies, rosco will be complain about his asthmaaa and be pushed off the cliff then we'll all crack each others heads open and feast on the goo inside

i agree, i dont think they should be banned though, you should just be ripped the shit out of, playground rules motherfuckers

Metro is well known news media outlet. Tribal football publish second hand news sometimes from reputable sources
 
The forum is meh right now because of all the bickering, not the transfer rumours.

Before it was tribalfootball, now it's random Twitter accounts. Most of the stuff in the papers is made up too so who cares.

The forum isn't going to improve if you cut down on the "lies", just die quicker.

.

Is exactly it, in a nutshell.
 
Because it was tried to be all delicate and nice. No one paid attention.

Thread creation is appalling on this site. Lots of great, fantastic posts are lost in the ether between shite posts. The main culprit of shite posts seemed to be from Twitter.

Random opinion pieces are fine but EVERY FUCKING SLIGHT RUMOUR from nobheads on Twitter is getting posted.

It was suggested by Ross in Mod chat to allow just journalist tweets and I'd agree whole heartedly with that.

@Semolina Lipton, you've got a track record with your knowledge so at least we know what we're getting. Your sources are fine and I'm happy for you to post whatever you want.

I recall a year or 2 ago oncy started a rumour about us being in for Drogba, and it got reported on tribal football.

We also created a twitter account claiming to be an ITK just to see who'd bite.

For fucks sake. It's that EASY for shite to get picked up. Whats wrong with just posting sources from BBC, sky sports, or reputable journalists (not that beaker looking cunt from the metro though)

THIS is what Ross had been trying to put forward but THIS gets ignored because it's Ross!

He's been a nob about it recently, but he's been ignored for a good long while. So why not shout and scream if it gets people to listen?

That excuses the fact that he go around insulting and belittling people completely unprovoked whilst none of you guys seem to give a shit? It's completely out of order the way he speaks to people on this site because he doesn't like what they say, or what they enjoy discussing, and I dare say if one of us was speaking like that to someone, you'd be having words with us. If he spoke to said people with an iota of respect, we might actually get somewhere.

The bickering has spread from the lies.

And Mark and Modo

All we want is for people to discuss things. Not just post tweet after tweet

There's a world cup on and there's like.... 3 threads. The scouting one, a match thread and girls of the world cup thread

Why not try and discuss the failings of each side?
Why DID Spain go out in the group?
How did Costa Rica make the quarter finals of the world cup?

Individual threads provoke individual debates. Catch all threads just cause debates to get lost in the shite
 
You can have look at my Panini swaps, take your pick

This one please

We do nothing because it's double standards if we do

Everyone is happy to leap on @Modo being negative and call him names under The Lying Rag, yet Ross does it and it's a heinous crime.

I'd rather people argue and get it out of their system than let it build up.
We're trying to be passive in our Mod style because this isn't a police state.

What we are trying to do with the twitter thing is stop the forum from becoming "e's ded gud im". We want to promote debate. Twitter is lazy as it's a fucking soapbox for anyone. Indykalia is a renowned "itk" because he posts mounds of shite, cherry picks the one that was right 5 months later and goes "see, imma boss"
 
Decent. Although I can't see it given how much Napoli paid unless other players go the other way. Agger, Lucas, Reina?
Lucas and reina have been linked loosely in the papers this week. Agger wouldn't surprise. Who's their centre backs? Albiol and..?
