thorpie the sinner Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 Just saw that! Am I reading too much into it, or might it be a special presser with a new player to be announced possibly????? Nahhh lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Le God Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 Am I reading too much into it, or might it be a special presser with a new player to be announced possibly????? Every Saints league/cup game has a press conference in the two days before. It is mainly about the build up for the West Brom game, but journalists will ask about transfers.

I'd imagine he's referring more to the fact that it's being streamed live on youtube rather then a football team holding a pre game conference.

itchen_dan Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 (edited) I know that, just wondered why this one was live? Showcasing youtube channel I suppose? It was tested internally at Saints with a couple of pressers at the end of last season. It was a success so they're gonna be doing it for every presser from now on. Really looking to ezpand the YouTube channel. E.g they're also streaming every home game pre match show (pitchside) live on the YouTube channel this season with some behind the scenes content.

Joensuu Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 needs to learn English ASAP! rude imho Glasgow, you really set the bar low when it comes to quality. Perhaps post a little less and put a little bit more thought into each post? In answer to your statement, we are aware the Pochettino is trying to learn English, and we have no reason to believe that he isn't trying to do this as soon as possible. In fact, suggesting that he should try to learn faster rude IMHO. Where would you prefer he focus his efforts - coaching and preparing tactics for the new season, or refining his English?

He is clearly saying that to get someone to bite and you've just done exactly that. Is that not completely, blindingly obvious? How have you not learned that by now? You writing this response is why he does it. I have been on so many forums and I've never known any other forum where people just can't seem to grasp this concept. Forums have trolls and people who get kicks from making inflammatory comments. On 99 out of 100 forums, these people get either blocked, banned or people just plain ignore them, a strategy most people learn as children. But not here. It's crazy. Wise up!

Smirking_Saint Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 Ignoring the obvious WUMing potential of a previous post I do sort of see some sense in the trolling.

niceandfriendly Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 Exactly Saint. Thinking about it I'd really love the BBC to make a documentary about the psyche of the internet "troll"; the reasons they do it, the emotional and chemical reactions they get from doing it etc. Would be fascinating. Wouldn't be surprised if they discovered some kind of trait of them having some kind of a history of abuse, self-esteem problems etc. Is it too cliched to suggest that they're just loners? Possibly, possibly not. But would be interesting as I think there is room for a show on this subject as you're right every single forum these days has these kind of people.

Joensuu Posted 15 August, 2013 Share Posted 15 August, 2013 @Saint Agreed entirely, but for some reason on this particular forum, these characters aren't banned, or blocked. Do you ignore the elephant rampaging in the corner, or point out that they are making an prat of themselves? You are right ignoring the trolls makes most sense - I guess I respond to them in the vain hope that one of the mods might actually start restricting them to the muppet show where they belong. Tell you what, I'll try it your way. I won't respond to a troll for the next 6 months and see if that causes their activity to stop. I suspect not, but I'll give it a shot. Back on topic - the conference seemed rather dull to me. Pochettino avoided talking about transfers, and I didn't pick up any new revelations. Did anyone notice anything of interest?

Possibly, possibly not. But would be interesting as I think there is room for a show on this subject as you're right every single forum these days has these kind of people. I think Richard Bacon recently did a documentary about internet 'trolls' as he was abused on Twitter. Annoyingly, the term 'troll' has now been skewed by the BBC and the Daily Mail (and other papers) to mean 'internet bully' which is different. Those people who told Richard Bacon that they were going to kill his family and the scum on ask.fm who drove that girl to suicide aren't trolls, they're bullies and cowards. A troll is a more lighthearted approach without the malice. GS is a true troll and is a true artist when it comes to forum trolling. He appears to be ignorant and makes ill informed comments that appear to be knee jerk reactions in order to elicit a response, when in truth I doubt he feels this way (at least not as strongly as it seems) and knows exactly what he is doing. The follow up response to that naive poster above shows this. He's going in for the kill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially when a lot of the people on here aren't that internet savvy. It's purely for personal well being and peace of mind. Don't get wound up and don't bite. Well, as I said above, I'm going to try it your way. I've just made use of the Ignore facility for the first time - it doesn't feel right, but I'll give it a go. I think you are slightly confusing my previous responding to trolls as naivety. I know exactly what they are doing, and certainly aren't blind to the situation. The ignore option has never worked in the past, but the running rings around them and making them look silly has certainly seen a fair few trolls loose their temper and get themselves banned. But I'll give your suggestion another go, and see if it's more effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
