Saint 76er Posted 4 March, 2013 Share Posted 4 March, 2013 I miss the PR plants Although I think Cortese is a bit of a w@nker, he does have his good points and maybe we should all support him .... (see how easy it is to do nostalgia Phil) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pap Posted 4 March, 2013 Share Posted 4 March, 2013 Everyone (Everyone) here is a twonk. This is a one category site. Ohio, can you let us know what a twonk is? I find your terminology often differs from us UK residents, and I just want a bit of clarification before I agree with it or not. I think we're all keen to avoid an "El Guapo plethora" moment.

(see how easy it is to do nostalgia Phil) There are still quite a few PR plants for the old regime knocking around and sniping because they are now just a "supporter".

simo Posted 4 March, 2013 Share Posted 4 March, 2013 IMO: 1) honest posters with usually great insight and a respectful demeanor: colinjb, s-clarke, charlie, dubai, chez, crab lungs, etc. 2) honest posters hated for their "negativity" when in fact they're only being realistic: alpine, miltonroader, dibden, dalek, etc. 3) posters who come here to mouth off about whatever tickles their fancy, usually like to pick arguments: dig dig, appy, garrett, badger, for_heaven's, supermikey, etc. 4) posters who come here to have fun, not too fussed about serious saints talk: bearsy, tokyo, glasgow, turkish, spud, etc. 5) those who think their opinion is of great importance and believe themselves untouchable: MLG, delldays, itchen_dan, Mr X, trousers, etc. 6) harmless posters who quietly give their opinion whilst passing under the radar: 70's_mike, ART, dr who, ottery, pingwing, whitey etc. 7) flat out trolls: sotonjoe, hypochondriac, vectis, flyer, toresf, etc. Being fairly new I will let you off this once and wont hold the fact that my name should of been the first in category 5 against you , just dont let it happen again ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Who? Posted 4 March, 2013 Share Posted 4 March, 2013 I am amazed at how some people can clock up so many posts. Some average 15 - 20 posts per day over a number of years. Do they not lead a normal life? Are they stuck in some gloomy room glued to their keyboards? Is it a question of quantity over quality? Most of my posts are on match day. During the game as I only get to handful. If we are playing ant other time during the week I post more on the build up, during and after. Tend to post in the evenings during the week, if anything stands out, and I feel like responding. Changes from day to day really. Can clock up 100 on match day, then not bother. Depends on the time I have and what is on for that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dig Dig Posted 4 March, 2013 Share Posted 4 March, 2013 The thing is, a creepy lurker like ecuk268 probably spends about the same amount of time reading the forum as a profilic poster but just doesn't post so don't understand the high ground being taken. Also, if it wasn't for people posting, there would be nothin for the creepy lurkers to read anyway, FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio Saint Posted 5 March, 2013 Share Posted 5 March, 2013 Most of my posts are on match day.. Me too, for the most part. The Match day threads were one of the few good things about the lower leagues. With no video streams to watch we had more time on on our hands. Some of the matchday threads were better entertainment that listening to the commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no video streams to watch we had more time on on our hands. Some of the matchday threads were better entertainment that listening to the commentary. The matchday threads were a boon to those with Bowel issues, but a nightmare if you were trying to give up smoking. Hell they even influenced meal choices and cooking times. And the whole behind the scenes gambling culture they inspired. Made thousands on the "At what minute in the game will Mountains appear?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkish Posted 5 March, 2013 Share Posted 5 March, 2013 Those that hail every positive news article or player linked as a great story, brilliant journalism or in the case of players linked a massive statement of intent.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 5 March, 2013 Share Posted 5 March, 2013 Category 757 - those expat posters who are able to turn every thread into a beer and golf story. Category 758 - those posters called Eric who assist 757 in his evil ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo78 Posted 5 March, 2013 Share Posted 5 March, 2013 Can we have a category for "posters who actually seem to know something about what happens on a football pitch and not just what happens on a football forum"? I'd nominate Lallana's Left Peg, neef and... nah, no good to have a whole category for just two people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pap Posted 5 March, 2013 Share Posted 5 March, 2013 I don't actually know that much about football compared to a lot of people on here. This is why I constrain most of my opinions to stuff I know a bit about. I do enjoy reading others' analysis of the game though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
