Must be a trick question.

A song maybe? But it said player so I guess not.

YNWA would be a song shout maybe?

As I suspected it was a "flawed" question

the quiz master just emailed around that he got it wrong.

he was looking for "Paul Stewart" as the answer - which never played in Glasgow ..

he obviously got a lot of emails / questions about this question as no one could answer it.

At least we didn't have to wait until Monday.

Good to see Louis put the foot down about nobody mentioning several major exits we had this summer on top of the injuries (and many United fans are included here, not just the general media).

Who is he talking about? Because most of the exits in the summer were people who needed to be gone.

I stay in the premier inn with the missus when we head over. Its literally just down the road, you can see OT from the door. Very handy if you want to do the tour of OT when its a non-match day

Ferdinand, Evra and Vidic. We resigned Evra if I recall, and am guessing he then said he wanted to go when Shaw was signed. Fair enough and he was past it for a while, but he still would have been handy to have around compared to Ashley Young/Lingaard at LB. Vidic and especially Ferdinand were also getting up in years quite a bit, but there is no denying how much help they could have been at various times this season - both were gone before LVG arrived so we have no idea how much he wanted them around or not. All three of these going in conjunction with Carrick missing the first three months of the season and all the injuries at the back was nothing short of comical - and no surprise, as soon as Carrick came back, our defence has started to look more solid.

Basically the injury crisis at the back came ON TOP of having lost a combined 37 years(!!) of experience at the club - the most successful in the clubs history - between those four until Carrick returned, replacing it with often times 0 senior years experience at the club (Blind, Rojo, McNair, Blackett, Shaw). It was nothing short of a ridiculous situation.

Good ol stats. Just shows he dosent get as much recognition as he should.

Drinking alone and browsing boobs on reddit is the highlight.

Good idea Gowl, I'm currently at work in a church but should be able to do at least one of those things right now! Reddit is a wonder, I only 'discovered' it myself in the last year and it has many many uses!

Scholes doing a scholes in some charity legends game yesterday




Yeah Reddit is class, the soccer forum is good over there and so is the red devils forum. They post all the gifs and pictures. I just repost them here in the evening.

There is no big massive Liverpool/Man utd undertone as well. Get so see some other goals from Europe and stuff.
Plus gifs of boobs, far better than boards overall, boards is still nice though.

Your Airbag

Yeah reddit is the sh1t. The soccer forum is great. Posters from all over the world and the sense of humor and jokes floating around are great.

Reddit as a site is great, you can get lost there for hours. Great content everyday. It makes you wonder how tosh like Facebook is so popular.

Will I Amnt

One message board is enough for me, too much at times :pac:
I don't know how people can find the time for Boards, Reddit, Facebook, Twitter etc. Some people seem to live their life out online.

I just can't get my head around Reddit and I've tried. I've really tried!

Some people read a book going to bed, some watch T.V., the rest browse online. Have to say that since I found reddit, Boards has taken a bit of a backseat for me. I only lurk on reddit, but it's easy to lose an hour or 2 there before you know it just by browsing through the front page, never mind the subreddits.

For people in here who can't get enough United-related posts quick enough, the Man United subreddit is the place to go. It's what it would be like if we got our own subforum here, but with countless more users.

That doesn't include this season does it. In fairness he has got nearly as much abuse from his own fans as he does other teams. I don't think anyone is saying he is not a great player. When he scored 25+ goals a few seasons back he got the same plaudits as aguero is now.

The format takes a few days to get used to but once you do its great.

Some tips. You have the front page or www.reddit.com and then you have subreddits, so if you add /r/soccer to the end or www.reddit.com your in the soccer subreddit or on its front page. Each subreddit will have its own banner, usually soccer has a different photo for a recent match. The default tab you'll land on is "hot". So any trending topics with the most upvotes and comments going on are sorted there.

Thats the other thing, you can upvote and downvote comments. So plenty of banter between fans and intenional winding up goes on.

You can then subscribe to the soccer subreddit (or any other subreddit) once you have an account and it will shortcut to the top of the webpage.

You can also use reddits internal search bar for whatever your looking for.

Another tip is that each new topic popping up is its own thread and you can sort the comments in certain orders. Clicking the title will take you to the video/gif/article link but under the topic you see the amount of comments so if you click on this you enter the thread and discussion on the posted topic. Usually its best to sort the comments by top i.e the most upvoted or popular as the most replies and debate will be visible.

If you use Firefox there is an addon called the reddit enhancement suite, it makes clicking and browsing around easier, I higly reccomend installing it. You can drop down view gifs and pics without the need to enter a thread, it just makes things quicker.

All the content is user driven, so if you like a topic, photography or whatever you can start and mod your own subbreddit based on it. So you have the usual subreddits like

/r/movies
/r/music
/r/worldnews etc etc

and some weird, wacky and hillarious ones

There are many soccer subreddits, ones for each club and then stuff for tactics and downloads

• Playing and coaching - /r/bootroom
• Football discussions in Spanish - /r/futbol
• Soccer pics - /r/soccerpics
• Soccer circlejerk - /r/soccercirclejerk
• League roundups - /r/leagueroundups
• Women's football - /r/WomensSoccer
• An alternative to /r/soccer - /r/football
• For noobs - /r/soccernoobs
• For nerds- /r/soccernerds
• General Sports - /r/sports

League of Ireland - /r/LeagueOfIreland - @LOI_on_Reddit - /rLOI on Fb


England

• National Team- /r/ThreeLions

Leagues

• The Premier League - /r/PremierLeague
• The Championship - /r/Championship
• League One - /r/LeagueOne
• League Two - /r/LeagueTwo
• The Conference - /r/conferencefootball
• English Football League (Championship, League One, League Two) - /r/EnglishFootballLeague

see here for a full list


http://www.reddit.com/r/soccer/wiki/relatedsubreddits



Its really a rewarding site but very pun and reference heavy, it takes a bit of hanging around before you get them but once you do its great craic. Give it a chance and you'll love it.

No idea robbed it from reddit, sure add on his goals and what not still dosent change the fact he is vastly underrated

Plus they have a ladyboner forum, just for you.

You should tell them you are a mod on boards and we know everything about soccer.

He is not underrated. Everyone recognises him as a great player. He was touted as going to be world class when he was younger but never reached them levels but he is far from underrated.

It can seem that way when your new to it. Sort the comments by top and shortcut your favourite subreddits to your account and its much easier to navigate.

This here was the part I was missing.

I'm not a fan of the threaded or tiered discussion. It feels like there is a million different conversations going on. I like chronological.

Great post though YA. I've had an account for ages and my cousin tried to get me into it recently. Give it go but meh. I'll try again.

And once you in the comment section don't forget to sort them by top. You can sort by new etc by top is usually the best and pick your club flair or chrest so it will show next to any comments you make as its people and club supporters from all over the world commenting. The have all the LOI flairs as far as I know.

Its modded too but much more insults are allowed to pass than on here, most of its in good spirits though.

Lol, no. I'd just hate anyone you guys to miss out on it. Its really that good a site. Funny, informative, topical, creative. You'll never be bored again once you get into it.

Once you sub to places like ELI5 and Ask****tyScience the site just grows in value, some great knowledge and information on there.
