the wedge Posted 7 March, 2009 Share Posted 7 March, 2009 Personally I definitely think it's a great idea to give this a go. Match threads are dependant upon regular updates for those who can't listen to the game, and chatrooms are the perfect solution, instant updating whereas here you have to F5 the screen and wait for ages for it to reload. Hope it goes well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mole Posted 7 March, 2009 Share Posted 7 March, 2009 Baj i feel i need to explain my criticism as you may think i'm being unfair. 12 months ago we had a far better chatroom on 4ES, surely this being a paid subscription site you should provide at least an equal quality of charoom.

As Stanley said, the old forum had a better one and we weren't being charged for it. Besides, we shouldn't even have to be looking for an alternative considering we paid for full use of this forum.

Spades Posted 7 March, 2009 Share Posted 7 March, 2009 i think its a good idea, and i dont see the problem with 'outdatedness' or whatever, it does the job just fine. 1 thing i will say however is surely this should be made available to only the people that have paid the £5? If anyone can enter it willy nilly then surely me spending the £5 has been a bit of a waste... just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[2009-03-07, 1:38pm] aussiesaint20: if only he could pass [2009-03-07, 1:37pm] aussiesaint20: i think the jockey has been fantastic recently [2009-03-07, 1:37pm] Instant Classic: Dunno, Adam. He is good at holding and running at defenders, thing is as Rob said he doesn't seem to know when to do what [2009-03-07, 1:37pm] aussiesaint20: especially with the 9 players we had playing behind him [2009-03-07, 1:37pm] aussiesaint20: agree CanadaSaint, the striker is always going to the first blamed when goals dry up, playing up front alone was never going to suit him [2009-03-07, 1:37pm] robsk ii: I mean, I think we all knew it would, but it helps people bed into positions and get used to picking passes [2009-03-07, 1:37pm] Adamw: McGoldrick needs people further up the field to succeed [2009-03-07, 1:37pm] Instant Classic: Any injury news? [2009-03-07, 1:37pm] robsk ii: Well, canada, I think that's true. But he's played alongsdie lots of people - so maybe it's a bit of stability that has helped in that regard as well [2009-03-07, 1:36pm] CanadaSaint: robsk ii, I don't think McG actually had a defined role until a few weeks ago. That was a big part of the problem, especially as that applied to others, like Lallana as well. ------------- [1:38 pm] You are now talking in Birmingham v Saints [1:37 pm] aussiesaint20: i think the jockey has been fantastic recently [1:38 pm] aussiesaint20: if only he could pass [1:38 pm] robsk ii: He should run until the risks of running aren't worth it, as it were, then hold the ball up, and the rest of the team need to make that work [1:38 pm] aussiesaint20: offtopic- mitchell johnson - the ashes decider? [1:38 pm] aussiesaint20: have just seens kelvins save by the way [1:38 pm] aussiesaint20: AMAZING [1:39 pm] CanadaSaint: "Ploughing the lone furrow" is one of the hardest roles in the game, and we gave it to a 19 year old. [1:39 pm] Instant Classic: From when? [1:39 pm] saintkenny: Indeed [1:39 pm] Adamw: cardiff i think [1:39 pm] Instant Classic: Ah yeah [1:39 pm] Instant Classic: World class [1:39 pm] saintkenny: Everyone confident today? [1:39 pm] Instant Classic: And he made another great one about 2 minutes before [1:39 pm] Instant Classic: Nah, not today [1:39 pm] Adamw: i'd be happy with a point [1:39 pm] Instant Classic: As would I [1:40 pm] saintkenny: yeah, I would take a point [1:40 pm] saintkenny: Wouldn't mind 12 in 4 though [1:40 pm] Instant Classic: A point up there would be a great result [1:40 pm] saintkenny: [1:40 pm] aussiesaint20: Is anyone out there thinking Killers new role and our form reversal is just a coincedince? [1:40 pm] CanadaSaint: We play better against better teams, so I'm hopeful. Optimistic is too strong. [1:40 pm] Adamw: but we must winn our next games against Derby and QPR [1:40 pm] robsk ii: I hate birmingham. [1:40 pm] aussiesaint20: 4th, 4th and 6th beaten in the last three weeks [1:40 pm] Instant Classic: Yep [1:40 pm] aussiesaint20: why not 2nd [1:40 pm] robsk ii: I also hate people saying "must win". [1:41 pm] aussiesaint20: must win game today [1:41 pm] Instant Classic: Birmingham are such a strong team. However we HAVE already beaten them this season [1:41 pm] robsk ii: It's ********. Until it gets down to maths and ruvival, there are no must win games. [1:41 pm] CanadaSaint: We never really saw a "partnership" at the back until Killer entered the picture. He knows how important that is. [1:41 pm] aussiesaint20: anyone take on the 3-0 at 80/1 [1:41 pm] Adamw: Plus, we beat Reading when everyone expected us (including me) to get steamrolled [1:41 pm] Instant Classic: Size and Perry is the perfect partnership [1:41 pm] Instant Classic: Is he fit today? [1:41 pm] Adamw: worth a tenner [1:42 pm] aussiesaint20: did jan find size? [1:42 pm] Adamw: i think so [1:42 pm] Kadeem Hardison: Welcome everyone. Baj has designated me SWF's official chatroom host. Any questions should be directed at me. [1:42 pm] aussiesaint20: would be at least one thing he could hang his hat on [1:42 pm] Instant Classic: Jan signed him [1:42 pm] Instant Classic: But I think Wotte knew him from his old club [1:42 pm] Kadeem Hardison: I am NOT A MODERATOR. [1:42 pm] aussiesaint20: cheers instant [1:42 pm] Adamw: or was it van der Waals [1:44 pm] CanadaSaint: Kadeem arrives as "Not A Moderator" and we all clam up! [1:44 pm] aussiesaint20: do we think the protests were a deciding factor in the removal of portaloo? [1:44 pm] aussiesaint20: and will there be protests before the qpr game [1:44 pm] Adamw: i hope so [1:44 pm] griffo: Doubt it [1:44 pm] aussiesaint20: would really send a message if there are anti lowe protsts after a string of great results [1:45 pm] griffo: No one can be ***d when we're winning [1:45 pm] CanadaSaint: If there are they will be half-***d. [1:45 pm] jonny_lewis: which is fair enough.. [1:45 pm] Kadeem Hardison: We should do a protest on here before kick off. Anyone up for it? [1:45 pm] aussiesaint20: then he wouldn't be able to dismiss it as just fans upset with results and not his running of the club [1:45 pm] griffo: Lets go [1:45 pm] griffo: WE WANT RUPERT OUT [1:45 pm] Adamw: LOWE OUT [1:45 pm] aussiesaint20: SWING LOWE [1:45 pm] CanadaSaint: The censor filter has suddenly appeared [1:45 pm] Adamw: SWING RUPERT LOWE [1:46 pm] jonny_lewis: *** [1:46 pm] griffo: This whole chatroom thing is ***ing ***e [1:46 pm] aussiesaint20: it's because you havn't embraced a colourful font griffo [1:46 pm] aussiesaint20: it really does lift your spitits [1:46 pm] aussiesaint20: *spirits [1:46 pm] griffo: Will try that right away [1:46 pm] Kadeem Hardison: Ok. Thanks for your PMs of support. Protest details are as follows: at precisely 2:58pm we all post "Lowe Out!" + any other comments you would like to make. [1:46 pm] Thorpe-le-Saint: Get in there, only 15 mins until I get to hear Will 'Can't' Cope screech down the microphone again [1:46 pm] aussiesaint20: i can see this getting otu of control during the match however [1:47 pm] griffo: There will be too many comments [1:47 pm] aussiesaint20: any team news? [1:47 pm] aussiesaint20: far too many [1:47 pm] griffo: Yes [1:47 pm] griffo: We play in red and white [1:47 pm] griffo: LOLOOLOLOLOLOLOL [1:47 pm] aussiesaint20: and on grass? [1:47 pm] Kadeem Hardison: It is important that we are all co-ordinated in this lads. It is the only way they will see how organised we are. [1:47 pm] Adamw: Rupert Lowe is playing [1:47 pm] griffo: No [1:47 pm] Instant Classic: This is St Andrews, Aussie so I wouldn't count on it [1:48 pm] Kadeem Hardison: Team news to follow: [1:48 pm] aussiesaint20: laughing at your own jokes, grounds for dismissal? [1:48 pm] Kadeem Hardison: Shortly: [1:48 pm] griffo: You may or may not have realised but I was being sarcastic [1:48 pm] griffo: Wow [1:48 pm] griffo: Loving the font colours [1:48 pm] aussiesaint20: actually not a bad idea there adam, ruperts head in goals would surely scare off any opposition attacks. [1:48 pm] Kadeem Hardison: 1. Kelvin Davis (he will be playing in goal) [1:48 pm] griffo: SPAM [1:48 pm] aussiesaint20: a head not even his mother(does he have one?) could love [1:48 pm] griffo: SPAM [1:48 pm] griffo: SPAM [1:48 pm] griffo: SPAM [1:48 pm] griffo: SPAM [1:48 pm] griffo: SPAM [1:49 pm] Adamw: who's up for starting a Mexican wave [1:49 pm] griffo: SPAM [1:49 pm] griffo: SPAM [1:49 pm] griffo: SPAM [1:49 pm] griffo: SPAM [1:49 pm] griffo: SPAM [1:49 pm] griffo: SPAM [1:49 pm] saintkenny: GOALLLLLL [1:49 pm] Kadeem Hardison: griffo, please respect the other users.
