Is Anyone Else Fed Up With Stanley?
:engsmil: Is it just me or do you not get fed up, when you look through the posts the day after Stanley have played, the attention they receive in
print amazes me, if all these pundits paid to watch them the ground would be packed every match.:engsmil: |
Re: Is Anyone Else Fed Up With Stanley?
Errrrrr in a word ....NO LOL
Stanley is a huge part of the furum as its our local footy team thats doing great so it should be supported locally as after all its a big part of Accrington:rolleyes: :D |
Re: Is Anyone Else Fed Up With Stanley?
name another thing in accy that puts the towns name on the map???

Re: Is Anyone Else Fed Up With Stanley?
I'd start packing now Ianto.W >>>> can't win with this one. Used to annoy me a little trying to mow yer' way through all the threads at weekend to find a general chat which gets pushed off the board on Today's Posts.
Seems to be the nucleus of the members though and and keeps the site active, and difficult to find new topics for general chat, nostalgia, etc., which hasn't been done before. Amazing though, isn't it, how many things they find to talk about before and after a match ? :D Analyse just about everything from the beer to goal nets. Not interested in football myself, but if I were, would definitaly support our local team. There, that's kept me in the good books. :D |
Re: Is Anyone Else Fed Up With Stanley?
Just bypass it katex by clicking general chat then brings up just the latest general threads if the stanley threads take over:D

Even if you don't, I wouldn't get too fed up with them. They're the best thing that's happened to Accrington for many a long year. You miserable sod! :mad: :mad: :mad: |

hideing behind a keyboard, would you have had the bottle to post a thread that would provoke adverse karma. If all you have to offer is that, there would be nothing to discuss! Get off my case and start your own :Mickey Mouse" thread.:eek: |
Re: Is Anyone Else Fed Up With Stanley?
Why does it take "bottle" to start a thread that provokes adverse karma? Or does karma mean that much to you? After all you're "hideing (sic) behind a keyboard" just as much as I am.
Anyway, to get back to the point of your post. Stanley are dear to the hearts of many people that post on here. So it's obvious that there will be a lot of posts about them, especially after a match. Your whinging about it is mean-spirited and petty. Stanley have brought a great deal of positive publicity to this town in recent years and deserve all the support they can get. I take it you've never been to a match. I advise you to make a visit in the near future. You may well find it an enjoyable experience - many on this site who previously had no interest in football have done so and returned again and again. |

Stockport if thats all you have to do, and stop whingeing. Normal people can't afford footballers wages,this thread was posted with the intention of provoking decent replies, :we all know where you stand: :rolleyes: |
Re: Is Anyone Else Fed Up With Stanley?
In other words you have no logical arguments to support your case. Or are "decent" arguments only those which agree with you?
And what's all this about watching Stockport? I'm a Stanley season ticket holder...or are you just fishing, trying to "provoke" a reaction? |

You have me confused now as surely your not suggesting the millions who go to football on a saturday are abnormal ....so what did you mean? |

I see you list your Interests: crossword puzzles, golf (armchair),cricket all levels and sensible converation. It might be an idea for you to switch off your computer and go and do a crossword, Stanley do not need subsidising but I watch local cricket and to me that is one sport that needs more money, as for the sensible converation I'm still waiting.:) |

And to return to my original point, Accrington Stanley has done this town proud over the last few years and it shows a particular meanness of spirit on your part to start whinging about people talking about them on the town messageboard. Furthermore, if you're so upset about being called a "miserable sod", you may find the rough-and-tumble of Accyweb takes a little getting used to. I've been called much worse on here (especially by Blackburn Raver!). |
Re: Is Anyone Else Fed Up With Stanley?
I have to confess that I've never watched them play. I was a youngster when my father came home in deep gloom after watching the last match in the league. My mate's hubby played for them for a while during the seventies and I've always checked their progress.
Not having lived in Accy since I was nineteen, my heart is there and Accrington Stanley says it all! My Renault Clio proudly displays his Stanley sticker for the whole of Tenerife to see............you would be amazed at how many folk toot as we drive along...........fed up, never. |

Re: Is Anyone Else Fed Up With Stanley?
when i had a bar abroad loads of holiday makers came in asked me where i was from- accrington i used to reply - that was immediatly followed by accrington stanley !!!! so they have without doubt brought the name of accrington to the fore, also much profit to my till, so i think you are being very mean minded ianto.w its a local forum and many people like to talk about them, by the way i am not one of them. but i do not object and i fail to see what your trying to acheive - apart from p*** people off. P.S. notice you ask people to have patience in your profile- that seems strange you dont seem to have any.

Re: Is Anyone Else Fed Up With Stanley?
So let me get this straight.
You think that Stanley discussions are inadequate to the forum, and are getting in the way of General Chat's 'sensible' topics. ...yet you start this thread which serves as much purpose as a chocolate fireguard. Nice. |

Furthermore, I wasn't aware that I'd asked about your participation in sport. I merely suggested that you might like to attend a Stanley game to see what the atmosphere was like for yourself. Your last point is spot on, though - you've obviously started this whole thread in an attempt at attention-seeking. Congratulations, it worked! PS - Regarding the karma, that's the first lot of negative karma I've given out in two-and-half years on the site. I think that speaks for itself. |

Re: Is Anyone Else Fed Up With Stanley?
Living away from Accy means the only way I can keep up with what is going on with the team is through here. It is serious funny and informative for what I want and to be without it would leave me in limbo. Members on here can pass on the goss and I can read it and enjoy it. There is a dedicated set of supporters on here who's love is second only to their nearest and dearest and they are proud of it and so they should be.
No one is forced to these threads and as the Offi site has only limited info people are better here!!! |

Re: Is Anyone Else Fed Up With Stanley?
What he's saying (I think) is that when he looks at Today's Posts after a match, most of the threads are concerned with Stanley, because obviously we're all chatting about the game. And, because he's not interested in football, he finds that inconvenient. The obvious inference is that he'd prefer us not to talk quite as much about Stanley, because it makes it a little more difficult for him to get to other posts.
I say "I think" because after his initial outburst, he started to become evasive, throwing in red herrings about footballer's wages and eventually lapsing into semi-coherent gibberish. Either he's trying to stir things up as JT and Spuggie say or he's become embarrassed about the sheer selfishness of his initial point of view. |
Re: Is Anyone Else Fed Up With Stanley?

normal not to like Stanley, all normal people like football, and how anyone dare say say they dont like Stanley-well I ask you what is the world coming to. :confused: |
Re: Is Anyone Else Fed Up With Stanley?
...and once again you neatly evade the question. You were the one who started this thread by whinging about the number of Stanley posts in the Today's Posts posts section after a match. The inference can only be that you want us fans to post less Stanley-related posts. Can you explain to us why you think this is justified?
Either put up or shut up! |

Ianto.W., have you ever thought about a career in politics? Your ability to evade questions makes you eminently suited for that profession. However, you're obviously determined not to answer the point you raised in the first place, so what the hell.
As for the "crap result", veteran fans like myself and Bagpuss have been following Stanley for far too long to let a little thing like that worry us. Onwards to Nottingham! :cool: |
Re: Is Anyone Else Fed Up With Stanley?
A true fan or supporter will take the bad with the good and will always believe that the bad will be outweighed by the good. Stanley have had their bad times and now the good are back The odd hickup wont upset them as they have seen the really bad.

Re: Is Anyone Else Fed Up With Stanley?
just seen this thread and thought better of retorting to a troll trying to provoke. However, the fact remains that football is the most watched sport on Earth including all those 'World Championships' that only Yanks play. Everybody who watches this game has an opinion about why their team won/lost/drew and where it happened. We all have a different perspective on who played well/crap/indifferent. We all have an opinion on the clubs future/past/present. We all know the direction the present club should follow. The smaller the club - the larger the opinion, because your opinion carries more weight when there are less people forming those opinions.
I haven't replied to this thread to gratify numptys' ego, more to express to more undecided people what the attractions of football are. Its similar to politics in that everybody can have an opinion without being right or wrong, except that it is more enjoyable to participate in. Also I think there are more variables to football. Furthermore if we had no football then all men would be into shopping and there wouldn't be room for the genuine or more enthusiastic shoppers. Then we would be trying to avoid threads by these such people that "mATALAN was too busy today - I couldn't get in" or "the market had sold out of fresh pomegranites what am I to do?" |
