possibility of a LOI thread

Lamper.sffc · 2010-01-26 16:31:21

Is it worth setting up a LOI thread? Just wondering does anybody else think this migth be a good idea or will it just be filled with arguments and too much wumming to bother. The thread could involve all discussion from the premier to the A championship anything Loi related. Just a thought.

The transfers thread has kinda turned into a chat type thread. I can't see why we couldn't have a proper one.

Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

Why do we need one in all fairness? Suppose a general LoI chat thread would be an idea along with the weekly fixture threads. But should this forum has topics on every individual match in England most of the team, with tonnes of club threads, along with the weekly "Henry is a cheat" or "France paid Blatter to move Henrys hand in the path of the ball conspircy thread".:D

General LoI chat thread along with weekly match thread would work I suppose. We have a transfers and rumours thread and the Cork City thread and well aside from that there ain't much to talk about.

I dont see much of a difference between to doing this and setting up a LOI forum and that has been rejected many a time.
Defo wouldnt be in favour.

Is the English Premiership contained to one thread?

Nah.

Why could the league of the country we reside in be?

Searching for one would be a better option:

to be fair foot.ie is the main posting forum for league of ireland fans and again as lucky lloyd argued on Liverpool supporters forum by having a seperate forum you are in danger of making things exclusive. Out of sight is out of mind in other words. whole idea is to promote your league and you will promote it better on the main soccer thread IMO.

You need to understand that thread and forum are two different things. Read the 1st post again.

LOI thread would be good, once it didn't derail into all those barstool supporter arguments that are so common when LOI is being discussed

And is disliked by a lot of people also.

This forum generally attracts people who give their posts a little more thought (but not always:rolleyes:).

what im saying is that foot.ie is the main forum for posting on league of ireland matters because i know one league of ireland fan who posts there regularly. AFAIK it has a thread for every club. Dont see any problems having a megathread here on it.

Can things not just be discussed in new/existing threads as appropriate? If it ain't broke, which it ain't...

Yes, but the club forums seem to be largely ignored? I'm not arguing or anything, I'm just sayin.

Me either. To be honest, the "during the season" general type thread could just be re-named, yay/nay?

the general thread is already there.

Everything gets spoke about in there, unless there is a really big issue, it gets a separate thread.

foot.ie is a shíte forum.

Just as an FYI, we're looking at doing something a bit more for the LOI this season.

If any of you frequent photography you will have seen the fantastic photos that some of the lads there have taken. The plan is to have a bit of a LOI photo thread here with the pics and have discussions around them and the games.

Won't hurt to give it a try anyway.

Thats a good idea, all the youngsters playing ball can id Premier League Footballers but not the LOI

Yeah i agree but a thread with all the weekends games would be good (not sure if this has been done before).
Otherwise the extratime.ie live matchtracker is good for following the games if you cant attend

There is usually a fixtures thread. Section F or Lucky Lloyd used to do it last season IIRC and people generally commented in that.

Sounds like a really good idea. Something that promotes the league in a positive way would be great. Picture of matches, players, fans would be something that could be of benefit to the league, and because its placed in a general football forum for all to see, it would possibly help promote the league to people who dont watch it.
This thread would hopefully promote some general LOI chat also imo.

I think section F might be banned? Haven't seen him around in awhile anyway..

I think Gav set up most of them towards the end of the season.

I certainly won't mind setting them up if nobody else gets round to it anyway.
