Ohio Saint Posted 17 June, 2015 Share Posted 17 June, 2015 One wonders just how many "Sotonians" are actually Sotonians. I'd think that over half of the posters on these forums actually aren't. Now Saintsweb well that's about Saints but a Sotonian is a very precise thing, ie someone from Southampton, I mean you don't get so many Old Tauntonians who went to St Annes now do you. I wonder how many Freemasons are actually stone masons and how many of the Grand Order of Water buffaloes were actually Water Buffaloes rather than cartoon cavemen. Sounds like you're wasting your time wondering about things of no great importance then....:rolleyes: I honestly don't know if this is a whoosh moment or not!

The Kraken Posted 17 June, 2015 Share Posted 17 June, 2015 Although one of the mods on here is, shall we say over zealous and sensitive, having strops like teenage girls when someone says something he doesn't like, it's better than it used to be. I remember the days when infractions were dished out like confetti. The best reason being for 'stupid or pointless comments' you could make a case for 90% of the stuff on here falling under that category. The greatest infraction of all time was when I got one for 'stamping on people's dreams' by saying we would never be a regular champions league club, whilst we were in league one! This will never be surpassed; a truly wonderful and incredible infraction. It should have had a lifetime term, never to expire, just so that everyone could always share in the the posterity. Whenever I hear the word "infraction" I will always think first of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goatboy Posted 17 June, 2015 Share Posted 17 June, 2015 Dunno what the problem is. Us expats are so far away from any action or tales in the pub that unless we had a mate with a mate at or around the club we never got any snippets or links. In the past year there hasn't been any great actual "discussions" on TSW because the team have been playing so well and we've all been enjoying the ride. The only valid comments we can ever give are in match threads (because we have been able to watch the game on TV) or stating our position on Stadium Expansion, strength of the sides in Cup Competitions etc. That is not going to change, even though it gets really boring when the same people keep shouting down any opinion that isn't theirs. The only time we're going to have any inputs is when we wake up 3 hours ahead of you lot and see a scoop in the press, but then Saint Armstrong has robots or whatever doing that 24x7 anyway. There is actually NOTHING football related to talk about for people who don't need to say the same thing 10 times a day. We need a keeper, right back, Djurkic or a replacement to cover Tadic and probably replacements for Cyne & Morgan. But we don't need to keep saying that PLUS we don't know asmuch as the geniuses on TSW who have THE opinion on every footballer who ever played/plays the game. I trust Les & his team to be doing their research more than a poster on here (where was Juanmi's name on Redslo's list of strikers btw? There is nothing much to talk about until noon today. And you certainly could not make a light hearted comment about Saints on the main forum on here "as it's football innit" The two sites aren't competing, they are complementary. Hopefully both will bring more fans into the realm of forums so we can actually hear some NEW opinions rather than the regular cut & paste BS Ramadan Kareem everyone Good post.

sadoldgit Posted 19 June, 2015 Share Posted 19 June, 2015 Apparently I am a "tool." The reason I am a "tool" is because I have posted certain things on an internet forum that mark me out by the "tool police" as being a "tool." An example of one of these posts is where I said I thought that the Sainsbury's Xmas ad was in bad taste as I didn't think they should be using the Xmas truth in WW1 to sell groceries. A recent example is where I started a post saying that I felt that we were a million miles away from CL football having just watched the final. Now I didn't think this was unreasonable given that, for the last couple of years there has been a lot of talk on here about us and CL football. I am not really bothered about CL football myself. I don't see it as the Holy Grail but I can see why clubs aspire to it. Having not watched any CL football for some time I sat through the Barcelona v Juve game. As someone on that thread said, watching that level of performance was a reality check for me in terms of where we currently are in terms of competing at that level. I said as much here and The Usual Suspects were straight on it with their usual childish remarks (it really is like being back in the school playground on here sometimes with the school bullies trying to make themselves look bigger by belittling others). The more reasonable posters saw the thread for what it was and made reasonable comments and the school bullies did what they usually do. Nothing new there. It happens every day. For me though it is just getting so tiresome. I'm not just talking about me. I am just one of many who get jumped on. I even went on another site hoping that things would be different but they are turning up there too. There is no hiding place! Like most I come on here to get the latest news about my football team, to read what people think about that news and to add to the discussion. I don't come on here to spend hours dealing with people with personality disorders and who clearly come on here to make themselves feel better by having a pop at others. But that is what happens. You get dragged down to their level before you know it. Like others I have some posters on ignore but you still end up seeing their posts in quotes. Like UJ I am of the opinion that when you start to get a lot of people on ignore is there any point in being here?
