What is the most frustrating thing for you on this forum as a Saints fan..?

[Dibden Purlieu Saint]

Mine is people spelling the players names incorrectly. Frankly, I find it lazy and annoying.

Cue people saying 'Threads like this'.

As an infrequent poster, the amount of unpleasantness between fans who are supposed to all be on the same side. I used to post regularly on the old 606 boards and loved the banter between us and the other teams but don't get the bigger better fan playground stuff here. For example, if I were to be posting on a 606 board, I would be pointing out to Pompey fans this morning that these so-called great supporters still have around 20% of their tickets left for our derby match, having gone on general sale yesterday. Hilarious!

[Hatch]

No Deppo

[influx]

I find any threads about the clubs finances really annoying. Maybe not the initial subject matter so much, but the way some going into far too much detail about in's and out's at the club. I undersootd this a little when we went into admin but there were threads like this way before then. Your average fan just doesnt care, and shouldnt IMO.

Lack of any real laugh out loud moments. They used to be regular a few years ago but not so much anymore.

[The Kraken]

Anyone who gets completely wound up about anyone discussing anything they disagree should be talked about, or can't get their head around. And then invades the thread to tell all and sundry what a complete atrocity it is to talk about it.

For instance, speculation about what our new signings will be like, how a new manager will fare etc, where so many people come out with the line "Why don't you just wait and find out rather than speculate?".

It's an internet chat forum; speculation and idle gossip is what it was invented for. And if you don't want to get involved with the discussion, no-one is forcing you!

Mine is people spelling the players names incorrectly. Frankly, I find it lazy and annoying.

Cue people saying 'Threads like this'.

I find everything annoying, but that one is quite high on my list of things I cannot begin to understand. It's on the big screen at the ground, it's in the programme, it's on the telly, on the back of the players' shirts, it's usually already correctly spelt in the same thread, and you're actually on a computer which gives you access to an enormous database of information which will allow you to check if you're not sure. How, in those circumstances, are you not able to spell the player's name right ?

For the record, we don't have a Davies in goal, or a Llanna in midfield, or a Hoofelt at the back (or a Seabourne for that matter) or a Connelly up front. Historically, I can't ever remember how to spell Egil's surname, or that of the bloke called Andreas who played at the back in our Prem relegation season, SO I LOOK THEM UP BEFORE POSTING.

Is it too much to ask ? Ignore that, when people can't even spell "to" correctly it obviously is.

Apart from that, all song threads, the polarising of others' opinions by people who don't bother to debate the nuances of any argument, knee-jerkism, anyone at all talking about fashionable clothing of any kind at football as by definition it doesn't exist, and all WUMs and trolls.

[The9]

'Brought' instead of 'Bought'.

"Are" instead of "our".

And "would of" instead of "would have"

... "would of" instead of "would have"

Its an internet speech thing, a bit like using "teh" to help convey the mood of the point you are making. Viz use it as a joke device regularly, for example "he should of have of...."

Trolls and wums i could name but it's so obvious.

The fact admin don't boot them off

[Fan The Flames]

Grammatically it has to be 'are' instead of 'our', it forces you to have to re-read the sentance.

I don't like WGS not the man the acronym, its GS or Gordon Strachan, also Citeh for Man City.

But most of all the over critical moaners, whether they are having a go at players, the club, our fans, other fans, other posters. I can handle facts and opinions but baseless moaning gets me.

Negative tw*ts... you know who you are

[adriansfc]

People constantly judging teams, managers, players on single games, writing off the season 500 times not realising it's possible to lose to teams that aren't as good.

Also, ridiculously over the top rumours followed by 'he's not good enough for us'.

And the lack of humour in recent years. I fear success brings serious attitudes. The British have far better humour in hard times. I particularly enjoyed Mark Wotte based humour or George Burley sleeping in his car.

Most annoying thing is that there is nothing to moan about. Saints are top of the league playing the best football I can remember in a very long time, the Manager is great and you can see that he thinks about stuff and makes sensible decision. I go to SMS knowing that I will very likely see a win. Its reasonably settled behind the scenes and the chairman is not Rupert Lowe.

Saintsforever was decent. I enjoyed it for Keith's match reports - a true fans perspective. Saintslist is still going and is generally a good read - a hardcore of fans that attend the game and write up match reports which is great for us overseas fans. And of course a few quality Stallard-isms.
