Title: Thisis Vs. TEF...
Post by: Barry Scott on Tuesday, August 7, 2007, 20:38:21
As if the manatee fad wasn't enough, have you lot joined the forums and become a bunch of spastics?

This forum, slowly but surely, is becoming very tedious in parts and riddled with slow-of-thought, unoriginal humourless dross.

Perhaps i'm just a grumpy old cunt and should just read topics with titles that sound like they were written by:

A/ Someone adult
B/ Someone from the trust
C/ Someone positive
D/ An upstanding member of the TEF.

Maybe someone's trying to provoke cocks like me? God knows.

I just can't be fucked with reading and wanting to reply to constant mongisms. It's easier giving up smoking, which, incidentally, i started doing yesterday and probably why i feel so tetchy. Nice.

Anyway, mong-on, play with your crayons and face paints i won't disturb you for a while. :boring:

A forum is a self-perpetuating organism, thus if what is written engages others in conversation then it will continue, in whatever form.

To post or not to post, that is the question :smile1:

My absolute favourite kind of post is when some one, quite often fatbury but not always, posts a player's name as a heading....'Paul Dickov' for example and you think, 'Ooooh! we've signed some one' but then you read it and it says, 'He's been released. Do you reckon we should try to sign him?'

Those kinds of posts should just be deleted immediately. They are an utter fucking waste of time and make me want to stab some one.

Something i have often tried to do and something i hoped to achieve with this thread.

I feel the responsibility of the content lies with the posters and not the mods. I'm not saying do not censor, because it's required. I'm just saying that sometimes some silly little thread is started and for the sake of amusement, a load are then started. It's about as funny drinking bleach and disrespects the forum owners and users.

I try not to post bollocks, and like to think that my posts are well thought out and reasoned. Unless of course they were in response to Bart or i felt the need to reply with added vitriol.

Mex is right, i'm a moaning cunt.

My point seems pretty lost on most, although OST reflects my pain.

Yeovil raised an ace point, why the thread was locked god knows.

I feel provoked and frustrated.

Sonic will be pleased to hear he's achieved what he wanted. Barry Scott will not post again. This is my 729th and last post.

Thank you and good night, i'll close the nazi emblazoned door on my way out and just peer through the windows to look every now and again.

3 Easy steps to avoid getting pissed off with this site.

1) If you are interested in the thread read it and post if you feel like it.

2) Read it smile at some of the comments but think to yourself does not really interest me.

3) If it is titled something you know is not of interest dont bother reading it getting pissed off then moan at it

We had a Steve Lomas thread a while back, which seemed an attmept to mimmick these threads about unrealistic targets.  Strange thing was he ended up at Gillingham.

My favorite threads are the ones mentioning that unreralistic random player A has been released by Random club B

I then check this out (why do I bother?) to find out that the player have actually been transfer listed, (and is proably worth money ie Dickov) not released thus making the thread calling for us to sign unrealistic player A even more pointless and in this case factually inacurate

And the manatee thing was fucking gay btw.

And Barry Scott should keep posting. His nicotine deprived rants are very entertaining

This forum, slowly but surely, is becoming very tedious in parts and riddled with slow-of-thought, unoriginal humourless dross.

Perhaps i'm just a grumpy old cunt and should just read topics with titles that sound like they were written by:

A/ Someone adult
B/ Someone from the trust
C/ Someone positive
D/ An upstanding member of the TEF.

Maybe someone's trying to provoke cocks like me? God knows.

I just can't be fucked with reading and wanting to reply to constant mongisms. It's easier giving up smoking, which, incidentally, i started doing yesterday and probably why i feel so tetchy. Nice.

Anyway, mong-on, play with your crayons and face paints i won't disturb you for a while. :boring:


Just because I was off trying to drug my self up on chewing gum for most of the week (1 success out of about 20), doesn't mean that I'm not going to stick up for the manatees.

To start of with it was meant as a jokey response to the sort of repetitive threads you're moaning about, although it did get a bit carried away.

Everything else you say is true though (I think, I haven't really read it). The TEF has been getting a bit thisisy at times, especially the boardroom section... The I've got 32 posts making the same point over and over again people are the worst.

The best people can do is try and keep up the general high (or at least irreverent) quality of posting across the board.
