Soccer Forum - Please dont close it

Draupnir · 2004-04-10 20:45:08

Ive been reading in the other topic that there is a certain element at boards who are considering closing the Soccer forum and I have to say, Id hate to see that happen. It was precisely the reason I joined Boards at first and since Im one of the "clowns" who managed to get myself banned then Id hate to feel any blame for…

The Soccer Forum will be reopening in the next couple of days. I will be posting further details on what exactly is happening a little later on tonight.

Most of his posts were pimping that place so I guess he's just advertising.

there's only 6 threads in that sports forum..

[edit]Having looked over the sports forum, I can honestly say that its utter ****e. One person said that Ireland have all english players,and are still crap, which is followed by people saying how piss-poor soccer is. Another thread mostly consists of how henry is utter crap,and how one sweeper would neutralize him. And only 3 or 4 people there actually discuss soccer.[/edit]

Just rename it Rollerball http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0073631/

Similar to Thunderdrome, but without the Austrialians, Max Max and Motor Bikes.

Since premiership and giant salaries and TV rights "in a world gone mad" Soccer isn't about sport any more. Sport isn't sitting on couch drinking beer and eating junk food and screaming at the TV.

It's replaced the stars of the 1930's silver screen or the 1st century Gladiators of Rome. Its' pretty much Corporate wise like the 2018 fictional Rollerball now.

Better that the Fans fight each other on forums than our streets. With enough TV soccer and Internet they will atrophy on the legs and be unable to fight pitched battle with each other and police on Our streets (well actually not our streets usually, more England and further afield for-i-gen places.)

The reanimated corpse of a once-relevant discussion. Terrifying and bewildering in equal measure.

Lockage?

He posted recently enough, in Soccer, as it happens.

Apparently he's a Reading fan.

Ignoring him does nothing, because people will respond to him no matter what, thus dragging the thread further down the gutter.
