It's been a brilliant tournament on the field. And it asks some unfortunate questions.
Was it as good because all the best players were warmed up and mid-season rather than half injured and coming off a week in Aya Napa after a long, long, season? So, did winter cup work in terms of the games...
I’ve apologised to him publicly and privately, though it was clear to many who “liked” the post before D replied last night. Probably best to return to the thread subject now, eh?
Let’s be clear, there was no need for you to reply at all. I would have cleared it up as soon as I saw his reply - in fact I did. Yet here you are again taking over a thread with your enormous posting rate. Midnight last night and then 7 again this morning. Go for a walk or something
But only after he, himself had got it wrong.
It's perfectly possible to talk about a point someone is addressing when quoting them as well as talking about THEM. In fact that's why an awful lot of posts are quoted.
So, to rewind, Durlston posted "I don't think it's right that this thread is...
The moderator talked about two different people in the same post. It was perfectly obvious who the second paragraph referred to. Durlston good intentions, Leekbrook cheering on Senegal
I was talking about Leeky. Try and look up why people break things into paragraphs and use phrases like “on the other hand”.
It’s not all about you on this thread. But I was praising your sacrifice
Are you ok? I think this reinforces concerns others have had.
Blimey, chap. It’s not a post count competition where you constantly have to reinforce your position. The fact you’re missing decent football makes your position stronger, not weaker.
On the other hand, someone who has made an NSC career of reposting nationalistic right wing bollocks, albeit in...
Nearly well done Icy. Got to agree that thrashing Iran 6-2 was a difficult watch which saw die hard England fans throwing themselves off the bandwagon in record numbers :moo:
And, on a serious note, this has been an absolutely superb World Cup with shocks, great goals, shit goals and lots of...
Well, exactly, but an inconvenient statement for many our age who were sucked in by the kits and ticker tape. Not to mention it was held in the Argentinian winter.
You've kind of covered off some of my thoughts there so thanks for a thoughtful reply.
First and foremost I'm a Brighton fan and England fan. I will watch England and I will watch our players. Then I'm a football fan so I get sucked into the other games.
Around that, surely the money for this...
Yep. Me again. But I have a genuine question that can be answered by any or all boycotters:
What do you hope to achieve by not watching this tournament?
As I said to BadFish I'm replying to people who have quoted me and asked questions. And you've just done it (passive aggressively) again :facepalm:
Anyway, back to Uruguay v S Korea :salute:
