Manxie_Ash Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Have to say kudos to Kevin Prince-Boateng and AC Milan for walking off the field of play after he was racially abuse, it's good to see real action and not just words in the fight against racism in the game.

I ask because I want to try it, but only ever frequent one or two threads in OTF. Sounds interesting, basically a version of mafia right? I'd be willing to give it a go, although the timezone differences could make things a bit tricky at times. I'm willing to give it a go though, given I don't have much time for writing (or FM) these days, but I still enjoy hanging out with you guys. One way to make it a little more FMSey could be for the moderator (yourself) to maybe make a small story of it when summarising the action that happens. Could be fun.

Elrithral Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Timezones shouldn't be a problem, the process of lynching people would take at least 24 hours unless they got a majority within that 24 hours and we could work out times so that it suits everyone. If you wanted to do it with a football twist it could be footballers and bung takers in a team at the bottom of the table, 10 footballers and 3 people that are throwing the games each week. The seer would be the captain and the angel....I dunno, just someone. Hopefully that's a bit more attractive for people, we only have 4 participants atm and one of them needs to be the mod. Need another 10. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elrithral Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Same thing applies as to Balth, could run it 48 hrs per lynch so plenty of opportunity for people to take part when they get a chance.

chesterfan2 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I liked the fact that the Mansfield manager insulted Carolyn Radford and she didn't even realise it when he said saying that you'd expect Suarez to fess up was 'a bit cheap'. What has got my goat though is her husband seems even worse than she does, namely saying that Suarez kissed the hand that knocked down the ball in order to take the proverbial. A notion it would take viewing all of one of Suarez's other goals to disprove as he always kisses his wrist when he scores as that's where he has the name of his daughter tattooed. Sadly it seems that just because you're a non-league side it doesn't mean you're not bad losers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jibby123 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I love Luis Suarez as a footballer, he's a fantastic player who unfortunately has been tarred by and is know somebody who when making a molehill the media give us a mountain. Steven Gerrard, Gareth Bale and Wayne Rooney have all be prone to unsportsmanlike conduct in the last 18 months but there British so a week of mentioning it and it's forgotten. No, I'm not a Liverpool fan but I do sympathise with Suarez. Interesting angle but I'm not sure about that being so. To be fair look at the press Joey Barton gets?? Or John Terry?? And most of their numpty moments are about events that don't even happen on a pitch so have nothing much to do with sports journalists or fans (Terry/Ferdinand/alleged racism aside). And in Barton's case we're talking a lower premier league/higher Championship standard player, not a global superstar and one of the Premier League's flagship marquee players as in the case of Suarez. Rooney and Bale have been highlighted a lot (and even Beckham after the '98 World Cup, where the abuse went OTT viral in the press and at English grounds the following season) for unpsortsmanlike behaviour as well. Suarez has not helped himself; biting a player in Eredivisie, the blatant handball that knocked Ghana (?) out of the World Cup in 2010, the Evra incident and the diving on a level that Gerrard, Bale and Rooney have never reached. Like you, I love watching Suarez as a player and he does seem like a guy who will do literally anything to win (which has an almost reluctant admirable quality....almost ), but am not sure what poor press he does get is a British or foreigner thing. Foreigners in the Premier League have been, and are, well appreciated and rightly celebrated by press and fans alike in the UK so I'd not agree that there is any kind of agenda here and most of the press do seem quick to appreciate the good things Suarez does on a pitch, not so different to Drogba who will be remembered as one of the PL's greats and was more than willing to fall over like being shot once upon a time.

Elrithral Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 I've never really got the whole foreigners being singled out argument. If you think back a significant majority of the major headlines and stories about player behaviour, on and off the pitch, has involved English players over recent years. You get certain foreigners who become the focus of attention, but it's not like it's just because they're foreign. I can think of three foreign players who have dominated headlines over the last few years Tevez, Balotelli and Suarez. I don't think anyone could argue that their behaviour didn't merit newspaper coverage and to suggest that their behaviour during that time would be scrutinised to a lesser degree if they were British is way off, in my opinion. I certainly wouldn't say Suarez has been tarred and even if he has i'm struggling to see why he shouldn't have been. If you bite players, are found guilty of a race related offence, commit two game changing handballs in major cup competitions against underdog opposition, are found to commit simulation on a number of occasions and are regularly inolved in unsportsmanlike conduct then you're not being tarred, your character is being referenced. Personally, I find the whining from Liverpool fans about Mr Suarez absolutely hilarious. He's a fantastic footballer, one of the best in the world, but if you don't acknowledge he's an utter goit who has (and seemingly continues to cultivate) a character that demands this level of attention then you're an absolute moron. Drink it in. Have a good laugh at the fact he's basically trolling the football world and giving your rivals something to get wound up about, scoring goals and being brilliant for Liverpool in the process. Don't try and argue he's not a tit, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jibby123 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 It always fascinates me as to what's the tipping point between too much baggage (or just plain mad as a ship's cat; Gazza or Ballotelli ) and sheer quality and to be fair in assessing Barton as lower PL/upper CH player I was including his baggage, because I think he could have been at one of the bigger clubs and in the England squad had he made different choices in his life. To use an extreme case Maradona could get away with it because he was so that once in a generation class, and it seems Tevez can because he does at least seem able to knuckle down and is world class whereas Joey is definitely not and is unable to stay for too long from doing something stupid. The madness/genius gene fascinates me when they say things like "if you took that out of his game, he wouldn't be the player he is" as per Rooney sometimes?? Zidane in the 2006 World Cup final as one instance, would a lesser genius have done what he did?? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balthazars Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Drink it in. Have a good laugh at the fact he's basically trolling the football world and giving your rivals something to get wound up about, scoring goals and being brilliant for Liverpool in the process. Don't try and argue he's not a tit, though. I'd agree with this sentiment. Suarez is obviously an extremely talented player (although at times he lacks that bit of a clinical edge to his finishing, but that seems to ebb and flow a bit) but he is also obviously someone who possesses an extremely odious personality. While he has copped some flack a bit unfairly (the hand-kissing thing in the most recent episode, also the handball against Ghana in the World Cup, he paid the price for that momentary unfair attempt and Ghana couldn't capitalise so it wasn't really his fault) he has also not helped himself by basically demonstrating time and time again that he does not care that a lot of what he does is unsporting and/or just plain undesirable. If he honestly believes that there is nothing wrong with his personality/behaviour then that's his choice and that's fine, but he - and his fans/supporters - shouldn't then be shocked when the majority of people who witness said personality/behaviour then label him an odious little git.

I've worked every night and day this week so what i will do with regard to awards is this: I'll write six categories and will send an e-mail to everyone who has offered to help to write one.
