Another troll from the island?

You sir, come into every thread I post in, when I post perfectly harmless things in said thread, then call me a troll, and keep banging on about how many posts I have until I respond. Look up the definition of troll, you'll find you match the criteria and I don't.

I agree that real football is useless, it's a boring game and the tactics are taking up way too much space where gameplay could be used which would be much more fun to watch.

Tactics and specified gameplay makes it boring, that's why Italian football is much more fun to watch than English.

what, you like it when they flop like the pussies that they are?

lol.

here you are prancing about which athletes are the biggest pussies, yet you praise the Italian footballers--those universally regarded as the biggest fucking pussies in the sport.

:D

Please, if you have ANYTHING GOOD TO SAY about America ... please say it now and then LEAVE. We tire of foreigners coming here and talking at all.

Ah, this is the "praise America and all sports belonging to America no matter how fucking boring they are" forum and you are the moderator of it?

With me, you get what you give, act like a retard and i'll treat you as one.

haha, I agree with that. but it is also true that a PhD qualifies you as being "too smart" to sit on an American jury.
so there is a legitimate qualification that this sample population is, on ave, smarter than other sample populations.

can't really deny that.


anyway, the whole myth about Rounders has only ever been purely speculative. It hinges entirely on the assumption that this group of dudes observed some people playing Rounders whilst on vacation for a summer or something, but there is very little, almost nothing to confirm these events.

it is mostly discredited these days.

It's pretty much the same damn game, one came before the other and you really don't need a PHD (;)) to figure it out.

Anyway, i don't really care, i'm just poking your nationalistic sensibilities a bit...

well, i suppose it's obvious we have different standards of retard on either side of the pond.

here, dingleberry is called out for his twatty posts, whereas you believe him to be a compatriot so you bring him into the flock.

The difference is, while we discuss the matter like adults you hurl insults like a moron and call people "dingleberry"

Grow up, and come back when you've grown some pubic hair, then we can have an adult discussion.

Only a fool enters a neighbors house and insults him.

Necarb is a known OVERPOSTING troll. I am NOT the only one who either feels or knows this. You are the one acting like the proverbial English 'tard. Keep it coming ... I enjoy your delusional postings.

oh, I honestly wouldn't care if it were based on a British game. I don't think you understand what I'm debating.

I'm simply not a fan of towing myth above actual history.

Me, nationalistic? rofls. I say criticize the things that are worth criticizing--or, at the very least, understand what and how to criticize the legitimate points.

Never criticize from ignorance. It just makes one look foolish.

:D

It's a lot faster and a lot more gameplay IN Italy, not so much on the world arena though.

It's still fucking boring, i'm a hockey fan, anything less than that is pretty boring.

And Vancouver is going to win this year.

Your neighbours house metaphor implies that this forum belongs to the Americans, It doesn't it was started by an Indian national for example. We have as much right to insult america as you do to insult england.

P.S. I can post as much as I like, I'm breaking no rules and I don't care if you and "others" feel that way, IDGAS about your opinions on me.

No my "program" has been changed so that if you make a comment that is off topic, you get a different response. While your comment was on-topic (vaguely America related) you threw in some childish insults.

Then perhaps you should stop doing that constantly, if it wasn't for the bunch of fans that followed neckarb from thread to thread derailing them it wouldn't be a problem, i'm not the first to notice it and not the last either.

Now i'm not a kind man like neckarb so i won't treat you with respect you have never earned and i'll just ask you to fucking piss off, you are boring the living daylights out of me.

He is not an Indian national.. he was born to a Indian father and Iranian mother IIRC.. and he is an American citizen.

Touche, I withdraw that bit then, but none-the less the post still stands, this forum does not belong to america.

Who the fuck would care if it did, it's not like it's blocked for us anyway, if they cannot take the heat of verbal interchange with the rest of the world then stay the fuck off our internets.

This would hold merit if neckarb wasn't overposting in EVERY SINGLE thread that he posts in. Every post I visit he is there, adding his mindless drivel to each.

As for boring the piss out of you ... thanks for the compliment. I care not what you think. You have joined a select group (and it takes special skill to join) of total retards that I hold dear. This list includes necarb, john of shitfield, heller ... and sometimes schneiderguy.

Congratulations ...

Over posting: Your opinion and no one gives a shit about it.
Mindless drivel: Your opinion and no one gives a shit about it.

The post I have quoted: Your opinion and no one gives a shit about it.

Stop trolling and go away if you have nothing of value to contribute.

john of shitfield?

Your mum must be SO proud of you, the intelligence needed to come up with that is truly astounding, perhaps you are one of those rounder... i mean baseball loving PHD's that Zinfamous speaks so dearly of?

You have made me laugh though, you get one point for that.

I probably shouldn't jump in here, but the internet (including this forum) is heavily American. Imagine if it were flipped and the internet were heavily British. Americans could get along just fine, but everything would have a British flavor to it. Threads about the NFL would get shouted down, stuff like that. I can understand how having people constantly throw their nationality in your face would get annoying. True, they don't have to post here, but there's no point in nationalistic posturing, especially in a freaking off topic thread.

Anyway, if anyone is still even thinking about American Football, I've got a game for you to check out. The December 5th night NFL game, originally on NBC, was one of the best I've seen, and easily the best I've seen this season. It was the Baltimore Ravens vs the Pittsburgh Steelers. Two very, very equal teams, both with the same record, both in the same division. There are eight divisions in the NFL, and the winner of each goes to the playoffs, as do some wild card teams. Wild card spots are hard to get, so this game was very important.

It was an excellent defensive game. Baltimore is just scary on defense, and Pittsburgh has got Troy Polamalu, who is a big playmaker.

Anyway, if you can find it, and you're interested in watching a good NFL game, definitely check it out, especially the fourth quarter.

I understand your point and I have no problem with these sites having an american flavour, the issue is that people insist america is the best! When it's fine, but no better or worse than any other country. I'm all for being patriotic but there's no point being stupid/ xenophobic (please note: I'm not calling you a stupid xenophobe, as you made a very reasonable point, but other people on this forum come across that way).

Love Football, hate all the hype and inane micro-analysis that surrounds it. ESPN and NFL films is killing the sport for me.

The ultra slow highlight films and the slo-mo cold weather shots of the linemen with fog of their breath billowing out like so many buffalo ready to stampede. Please...

If you like commericials you'll love football:
pre-game mindless banter by ex-players
commerical
kickoff (oh-oh injury on the kickoff)
commerical
3 and out, punt, runback
commerical
QB doesnt like defense-time out
commerical
interception
commerical
