George Best Joke

Sangre

What do George Best and Viagra have in common?
Pele has a soft spot for both of them.

galwaydude

have you any respect the man was just buried at the weekend sangre, grow up

whiskeyman

Sangre just got access to the forum yesterday.... and this is probably his first post.
Anyone want to see this being his last?

sprinkles

Bad taste. Not even a good joke in anycase

I'll second that Whiskeyman

ah now come on dont be such dry shítes. two aeroplanes crash into the two world trade center buildings and there are jokes going around as quick as you can say BOOM! and people laugh at them no worries. same with princess Diana... the tsunami in asia..... new orleans.. now one football legend goes due to his own idiocy and its not funny. ?

The majority of these tasteless jokes are banned from boards.ie... dont you read charters here? :rolleyes:
Feel free to email them to your mates who enjoy that sort of thing.
And besides, I didnt find that remotely funny.... and it's the wrong forum if it's an attempt at "humour".

BTW, I'd edit that "dry sh1tes" comment or face getting a report and ban for an abusive post...

galwaydude

what whiskyman said, this is a soccer forum not a bad jokes forum.

fade2black

This new system of entry to the soccer forum is seriously flawed.

Kingp35

Quite bad taste tbh. The entry system allows anybody in and this is what we end up with.

Big Nelly

Thought we already said to leave this stuff in the AH forum. Not here where the majority of people are footie people and wouldnt want to read these so called "jokes"

Whats the story with entry system these days? can anyone join after posting in the access forum without needing a sponsor?

Sangre

What the hell? That was in no way meant to be in bad taste.
Merely poking fun at Peles assertion that he is the best player ever. I'd posted here because in humour most people elsewhere wouldn't have got the link.

zAbbo

heh, not that funny, but less crude than some ive heard

galwaydude

thats basically it, anyone can get access as long as they have been a boards member for a month or maybe longer, much more suited to AH and even then the joke was in poor taste.

Sangre this isnt the AH or humour forum.

yup - they just need to post that they have read the charter and agree to the rules.
I think it changed after a huge thread in Feedback about the access.

This is the first "bad egg" since it changed tbh.

Also, this is the first post by the new member.... says alot.

county

sorry am confused,did the humour and soccer forums merge or what???

Sangre

I must say I think you're all being a bit hysterical here.
His death was irrelevant to the joke. Can we not talk about him anymore?
Although I've no problem with it being moved to humour if the mods want.

evad_lhorg

ok yea a point i forgt to make... yes its in the wrong forumsbut can you honestly say you have never laughed at a joke about those other topics i mentioned?

and why would i get a ban? i did not personally abuse anyone... and there is no need to take boards.ie so seriously. jeez its a postboard not a way of life or a school playground for you to go rat me up cause i said a bad word. chill. all that needed be said is "not funny. wrong forum too".

galwaydude

if then then start another george best thread, this isnt the JOKE forum.

I agree.

It is a cráp joke but the joke is on Pele not GB. I sometimes wonder how some people make it through day without being mortally offended.

Crap joke and in bad taste but not a banning offence imo. Agree the joke is more about Pele than GB, moving to the humour forum.

Move it back, move it back!

wheres me jumpa

so there is no sponsorship anymore? damn, i dont feel so elite anymore!

sham69

Wow,
I am only a newbie here and i cant believe something like this has kicked
up so much controversy. If people feel it was in bad taste fair enough but come on this is supposed to be a fun type forum is it not???
I am really surprised people reacted so strongly, life is too short.
I think people need to get a sense of humour.
Hope i have not broken any rules in speaking my mind...

galwaydude

its not that, it was just posted in the soccer forum and was in poor taste considering all the Utd fans the forum has.

sham69

Point taken, I am a united fan myself and i wasnt offended. People react differently to this sort of thing i suppose. I don't think it was meant maliciously.
Like myself it was a newbie who posted it and i am sure he is sorry he did now...
No real harm done though..

BKtje

must say that (i find anyway) people over react way too easily on this forum.

Oh get over it, the idiot killed himself with drink over the past 30 years, so what if someone tells a poor quality joke about him.

fade2black

I don't think it was the content of the joke...as jokes go it wasn't exactly offensive and I know what the OP was implying...however, the soccer forum aint the place for it and it's probably too soon for any joke mentioning Best.

LORDOFDOOM

I didn't even know that george best died...Well at least until yesterday when I waslked by a butchers that said
"Best liver for sale!"

MrJoeSoap

All these rushed jokes are crap.

Shiminay

Damn Soccer Hooligans dumping their crap on me! Thread locked for fear of any more muppetry.

No banning's this time kids... :v:
