Football news part Trois

[Red October]

I think the new design looks good. Could do with the "jump to page" option being at the top of the thread as well as the bottom though.

Edit: can't seem to add an avatar. Just noticed all the old ones have gone. That's a shame.

OOOOooo … shiny new Forum layout is it?

I’m very conservative, it will take me a while to get used to it.

Same, although the bigger pet peeve for me is the removal of so many old threads.

They were dead handy for the best bits of the community space (highlighting awesome threads around Christmas time where people were incredibly kind to each other, or threads full of puns) and also the worst bits (thus being able to show examples of people "taking things too far" in the rare times where that was needed) and most significantly it's a shame we will, by default, have lost all threads containing stuff from the likes of the Prince, Leviathan, n4c, taksin, RedNoodle, North Wales Red Craoighe Rua and so on.

Much and all as they were inactive in recent times, the fact that the forum now presents in a way where it's like they were never here is a bit of a shame and is definitely to the detriment of the community space here - though I understand the need for an upgrade.

There had already been a "cull" of threads of this Nature, but to now be limited to the last 12 months or so of threads is a pity.

I want to dig up the "Aquilani is fast-improving" thread and have a laugh with a pint dang nabbit! Also reflect on some of the poorer takes (including my own) regarding the success/failure of certain transfers. It's good fun being able to laugh at yourself when you were convinced a player could thrive here when they don't.

I still get the occasional chuckle when I remember a Suarez hand-ball incident (we benefitted from a goal that would have been disallowed in the VAR era) and I said "what's the money on Borini scoring in the next game, doing his bite-the-knife celebration and one of the rags thinking it's a tribute to a handball?" and it actually ended up happening because the media are just that f**king predictable.

Anyway, new forum is here to stay. Might use it often, might use it very sparingly, really not sure yet - if I slip off into the ether at any stage it's been fun chatting to a number of you and I'd still be up for the LFC Online group pint.

Doesn't take much to impress you does it, been on any other forums ?

It's fucking terrible generally a horrible layout and it was better before

Put ya reading glasses on for starters

Holy shit....... haha......enjoy this fantastic forum anyway

Emotes don't even work properly + nothing new apart from a horrible layout, can't run a brothel.

Had to post one last time, it's hilarious

Your head must be a funny place to live.

What's not to like...?

[Steveo]

This is as close as he has come to saying what I have been saying for years:

Forum barely loading... for me at least..

It was interesting seeing Rio play on the right very successfully for England. Having Diomande on one side Barcola on the other with Rio as back up would be a much better starting point than last season.
If Gakpo does go we would need a third forward as we will have also lost Salah and Chiesa. And while Chiesa didn’t play many minutes getting him off the wage bill will allow us to bring another one in.

[Johnny91]

Feels like it certainly won’t be for the want of trying if Diomande doesn’t sign. Being suggested personal terms are agreed.

Quiet behind the scenes which is a good sign my dear Miller.

Wouldn't be surprised if we ended up with both, Barcola can't finish his dinner very well, but he has a lot of talent and I think he's a little underrated, don't think his defensive work is great either.

You sure hell bet Gakpo will be off if he does come, we're not allowed squad depth.

Off topic but Gary has done his 2 year appearance, reckon the software of this forum will get upgraded to this century ? sometimes I wonder why he still bothers, he barely gives a fuck anyhow maybe if he did things wouldn't have happened and forum would be more active and behaved, rich coming from me but like I gave a fuck towards the end it was the same people not allowing anyone else to have a opinion and arguing all day every day, quite sad really me included.

Oh well is what it is, have a good summer and all the best in the future enjoy the world cup and lets hope this season is a good one.


Gary your a cunt mate and don't even know how to run a forum or moderate it, after people have stayed loyal to this shit forum for years and years, deserve better, no one has even been able to have a say input, no mods, not even a way to support the site and make it better run, you can't even ban people properly and it's so dated anyone can get around things, I reckon jockstrap is here hiding in the woods I know so too, clever man.

Miller- take care bud sorry towards the end all got out of hand & appreciate the chats the last 16 years we won't count the last year and you've been a good lad, all the best in rest of your days, hopefully this forum doesn't die completely as you enjoy it, can always check out LFC reds but that's a bit toxic to say the least anway's 19x posted on there a lot for a while, if it does die at some point, but he vanished off there too- did PM him asking if he was alright, no reply, i'm sure he'll be back at some point, probably will blame jockstrap me etc even though he left few months after all that died down.

Take careeee farewellll and all the best

Justincredible, you're just really are sherlock holmes, however the other account you mentioned really was not me and i'm not 35 yet cheeky shit, see you on the other forum Kurt

Over and out.

P.S miller I was on a wind up about secret admin, it's just gary deciding to actually give a shit on a rare occasion after years, Stevo had some whack theory about a secret mod/admin so I thought i'd try and frame you

oh wait jockstrap is admin init all a conspiracy

what a paranoid clown your best mate is..... anyways..... goodbye

Funny how LFCONLINE kept spamming me when I got banned too, I sent a nice email back

I don't understand the excitement and enthusiasm about Barcola. I can't remember ever seeing him have a good game and his finishing is awful. No wonder he can't get a start for PSG.

You're definitely not the only person that feels that way. We need to find as close a Salah replacement as we can get. Diomande looks to fit the bill. Barcola certainly does not.
