    No.

    The whole thread was going down a very bad path, so I locked it.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Still a bit stalkerish though, also I stand by the statement that the thread was going in a bad direction.

    And, the match is this evening, so the thread doesn't really serve any real purpose anymore, the Uruguay team will be going home/back to their respective clubs straight after to get in shape for their weekend's games.

    Just I'm familiar with the poster in question from the watch forum Des. Nice chap, never any hassle and valuable part of the community. The "stalker" tag doesn't sit well TBH, when the chap was just asking the wheres and hows of getting a tee shirt signed.

    No one is saying he's a stalker. But you have heard of the term "privacy" right... well the Uraguay players get it too.

    So here's a fun game we can play... Anyone who wants to post in opposition to the closing of that thread, has to include their name and address with the post. :)
    Lets see how fun that is... :)

    Well i think thats a load of balls (excuse the pun)

    I stayed in a hotel in Dublin last year because i travelled up from (couldint give a rats arse about putting in my name or address for the record DeV if you want to call me on it) to go to the funeral of a Boardsies sister.

    The hotel happened to have the Irish team staying in it and there were loads of people getting pics and jerseys signed.

    They arent Joe soaps off the street. They represent our country on a national level. The match is over is it not? If they have publicly asked to keep it all hush hush then fair enough and should be all that needs to be said.

    What exactly makes that information private?

    Yes they are. "Still a bit stalkerish though/we will not tolerate stalking" What else is the chap being called?
    But you have heard of the term "privacy" right... well the Uraguay players get it too.
    Yep I've heard of many terms. I've also heard it's apparently quite a common thing for footballists to sign stuff in and around the hotel environs. Indeed sometimes even have signings in same for the purpose.

    Ahh the DeV slightly passive aggressive :) smiley comes to the fore. Love the golden oldies :). The closing of the thread is not the point(and FWIW I agree with Des it was going nowhere). It's the intimation of a fellow long term boardsie with nary a blemish on his name for no good reason of being a stalker, apologies exhibiting stalkerish behaviour. Des has admitted he didn't even see the tee shirt signing part. Cool he missed that, but no point in digging heels in now(that's not like Des anyway).

    Like I said and I can't see the issue with; I'm familiar with the poster in question from the watch forum Des. Nice chap, never any hassle and valuable part of the community. The "stalker" tag doesn't sit well TBH, when the chap was just asking the wheres and hows of getting a tee shirt signed. Hardly requires any knickers being bunched.

    DeV.

    Talk about a sledge hammer and a panel pin? Seriously.....

    Anybody who knows anything about soccer, and I include Des, should know that this is very very much common practice for visiting teams and fans. They are well used to fans asking them to sign shirts/programmes etc at hotels and training grounds..and 99% of them could not give a toss about it.

    To try and connect this practice to stalking is ridiculous, and the reaction from you DeV just compounds that ridiculousness.

    Asking which hotel some visiting foreign footballers are staying isn't exactly equitable to asking where they live. :)

    That's incredibly patronising. :)

    I stayed in a Dublin hotel last year during a wedding and there were loads of Liverpool former players staying there, Liverpool legends I think the match they were playing was called, I'm not big into soccer so correct me if I'm wrong.

    The point is John Aldridge was asked could the groom have his pic taken with him, and he kindly obliged ,then he asked the groom did he want the rest of the players to get into the picture, obviously the groom said "YES" ,the players then joined us for the rest of the wedding and then into the early hours in the residence bar.Fantastic bunch of lads and down to earth.

    They were very obliging to anyone that wanted an autograph and a few did turn up at the hotel to get jerseys signed.But once that was done everyone left them alone.There was no stalking going on tbh.
