Things you learn from interacting on the Saints Web forum.....


St Lej

Recommended Posts

That threads like these invariably lead to an outpouring of vague ill-sentiment from a lot of people who'd never go toe to toe in a full on forum scrap.

 

Before I have a scrap will have normally called the opposition an F-ing C-unt which on here gets you banned quicker than a falling thermometer on a witches tit so pretty pointless

The 1980s Flower Roads standard for getting into a scrap were the magic three words "come on then".

 

Up in the 'Pool, they go for the abbreviated "come 'ead".

I have learned:

 

-if one person has an odd opinion (we need a 50k stadium, Kelvin is good enough for England etc) then this will later become a "brigade" who were calling for it and shouting the sensible few down.

 

-if you're embarrassed about being wrong, you should try to cover your shame by later saying you were just making it up to get a bite

 

 

The points I was going to make, but worded in a better way.

Something else I've learned. Putting people on block because you're fed up of their trolling, negativity or deliberately antagonistic tone is fairly pointless, because either someone else quotes them or they comment on threads you're posting on and you wonder if they're replying to you.

 

Also, I have learned that being a "try hard" is apparently some kind of insult.

Even funnier than putting someone on ignore then talking about it every time they post are the people who put someone on ignore, then when they have been quoted by someone else join in the conversation by replying to both posts usually started with the sentance "you can see why i've got him on ignore cant you, but to answer the troll......"

:lol:People who use the ignore list, especially those who announce it or ask for others not to be quoted because they have put them on ignore, are a bunch of bigger attention-seekers than the "trolls" they are claiming to try to ignore :lol:

I readily accept I have done this. In fact the reason I flagged it up was because I'd just done it. I am aware you are not big on the use of Ignore as you think it's indicative of an inability to cope with that person's opinions, but I just get bored with having to read the same stuff from the same people. Shockingly, given the stadium capacity arguments, you're not on that list. ;).

 

FWIW I have 7 people on ignore at the moment. 4 of them are single-joke trollers, one is endlessly confrontational and negative beyond all reason, and two just talk complete garbage all of the time and can't even put together coherent arguments to defend themselves. 6 of them I will never bother checking comments, one I will.

I would think of a better 1, but I don't want to waste an infraction on you.

Saints fans in Austria, despite hardly ever seeing the team play, know for certain what any failings at the club are and have a remarkable ability to actually foresee negative outcomes in the future before anyone else :lol:

 

But somehow always get it wrong when we're flying up the leagues and winning the vast majority of matches.

They also know the exact outcome of Ashes series half way through day 1.

Alpha males do not generally frequent message boards and the more you post, the more nerdy you are likely to be in the real world (which is not neccessarily a bad thing provided you realise that). There also appears to be a correlation between the number of posts per day and aggresiveness (possibly linked to impotence, lack of romantic activity generally, henpecked husband syndrome and/or downtrodden employee syndrome, living in a **** boring country (e.g...Austria...)....?)-cue aggresive responses.

 

:scared:

If you reply to this I will know that you are NOT ignoring me.

Fancy dress amongst adults is hilarious and anyone not wearing a full replica kit is a violent thug.

Alcohol at football is a thing of the devil and we should all be tea total and clap the oppositions jolly good play.

 

That's an odd one. I reckon for every post you can find praising fancy dress, I could find two sneering at it. I've never seen anyone praising the wearing of full kit to a game. Are you viewing a different version of the forum to me?

:lol: remember it well. Daisy Dip was somewhere on a scale between "Bang Ring" and "Battle of the Somme" most summer holiday afternoons.

 

Alpine - I am shocked...never would have you down for a Daisy dip kid! I grew up in the 70's in the flower roads and spent many hours playing footie or scrapping in and around Daisy dip. Can't say it was the happiest of times though - thankfully my parents managed to move to a nicer place.

Every player needs to have an attempt made at a witty/funny/original song for them. Despite usually 100 minimum attempts, most of them truely terrible, none of them will ever be sung, fans will stick 'only one *insert players name*' clap clap clap clap clap clap clap.

November 2012 Nigel Adkins is the best manager we'd ever had and potentially the new Alex Ferguson. We should stick with him even if we go down.

 

Feb 2013 We are so much better with the new manager, Adkins was a grinning clueless bumpkin who made numerous baffling team selections and substitutions and MP is the man to take us onto the fabled next level.
