what I don't understand is why someone got so upset about it that they had to gaz a mod and get you banned?
I mean, can't they just scroll down or put you on ignore?

but then /links seems to be fill of people who think only stuff they like should be posted, like when that weird bloke with the face tats was posting a few weeks back.

People get SO angry about things they don't like
I don't care for football, but it doesn't mean I have to go into a fit of rage every time someone mentions it.

I get pissed off that 99.99% of the conversation in this office now is football
it's boring and I can't work whilst this lot are waffling on about some blokes soap opera

Any subject is tedious when you can't (or don't want to) join in
Break the tedium by trying to participate. Just make up a load of bollocks and see if you can fool them into thinking you know what you're talking about.

but the point is I'm not interested so why would I want to join in?

Don't then
Sit there stewing in your own boredom.

standard responses are "that was easily offside" and "they deserved that result".

"It's not about the GAME anymore, THAT's the problem."

( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Fri 25 May 2012, 12:55, archived)

as far as I can tell it's not even a game.

( MONO!, Fri 25 May 2012, 12:57, archived)

No, I'm fairly sure football's a game

( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Fri 25 May 2012, 12:58, archived)

I'm not so sure, all they talk about is what so and so newspaper said that so and so player got arrested for last weekend
or whatever
( MONO!, Fri 25 May 2012, 12:59, archived)

Oh God
Well that IS tedious.

I like it when it's all 'we got this' and 'we' that.
I think these people actually think they are members of the teams they support.

JMG is actually Joey Barton you know.

Yes, that makes my skin crawl
And the other side of that..."We" beat "You"...ugh.

I had no idea that 'fat tedious prick talking too loudly in a pub' was such a pivotal position.

Haha

Don't be so boring, punch JMG next time he starts a football thread

I'm a lover, not a fighter
Maybe I should try to get off with him instead.
( Two Hats 🎩🎩, Fri 25 May 2012, 12:53, archived)

yeah do that, remember to post pics

( spesh., Fri 25 May 2012, 12:54, archived)

I'll get him to paint me, like one of his french girls

JMG was Renoir in a former life?

( spesh., Fri 25 May 2012, 12:57, archived)

I wish they would.
I'm trying to get into triple figures.
I was hoping to upset people enough to get ignored but not so much I'd get stepped.
I didn't think it was THAT big a deal.
