Mike7077 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I'd be quite interested to know if anyone else has ever done anything similar to this. I had something of a near miss recently when I almost posted a vociferous complaint, only to discover that I would have been wrong to. Luckily, I realised in time. Hence the word 'nearly' in the thread title. So here's what happened to me. I was merrily watching the game process some results. I noticed Bolton Wanderers had gotten a decent away draw at Aston Villa, with El Hadj Diouf on the scoresheet. The crucial thing is, at this point, that all I could see was 'Diouf'. As it continued to process, I saw that Senegal had also played. And who scored for Senegal? Why, Diouf, of course! I couldn't believe it. SI had let me down. It was time to share my indignation with the chaps and... chappette (Suzie MUFC?) over on the forums. So I began typing what can only be described as something of a rant. How could SI make a game, and then patch it twice, and still have players representing club and country on the same day?!, I raged. However, I'm not the sort to hit the 'submit new thread' button without taking a moment. So I had a glass of Coke and checked my phone for texts. There weren't any. I only wanted one from my ex-girlfriend because I'm not over her. But that's beside the point. Having calmed myself, I loaded the game up and decided to check both results. They did indeed occur on the same day. Bolton's scorer was indeed Mr. Saliva himself, El Hadj. After that, I went over to the Senegal game and imagine my relief when I discovered that their goalscorer was not the Diouf we've come to know and love(?), but some other dude called Diouf. Well, that was that. I got back here and hit the 'X' in the top corner and got these forums closed before my rant managed to post itself and my reputation for incisive, intelligent and insightful posts was forever destroyed. Anyone else ever done something like this? Oh, and I'm sorry SI. I automatically assumed you'd ballsed it up instead of staying calm and checking it out. I won't do it again.

ftg87 Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 Lmao, top quality stuff, I have done similar stuff myself, not just with balls ups in the game but also due to my incredible skill for picking out parts of posts that offend me, I have also nearly viciously flamed someone even though what they were saying was completely innocous and something that I agreed with Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
