Ugh, Naismith stands out like a sore thumb with his shitty technique.

 

[The_Hitcher89]

you cry too much, Hitcher.

And since you've started posting more and more one-line repetitive rubbish designed purely to annoy others, this thread has deteriorated alarmingly, and it's no fucking coincidence.

 

[Fergie]

Yaya subbed.

Delu on...

 

[justjohn]

You just knew city would somehow fuck this up.

 

[Scum]

Will Arsenal organize a celebration with the fans if they win it?

Don't see why not.

 

[Hixx]

Come on, who is your EPL team? Why the secrecy?

He hasn't got one, he's just a WUM.

 

[CrashBandicoot]

Still not watching it, fuck that heartreak

Nah it's fine, traitorous ubercunt Naismith will defy The Great Evertonian Conspiracy and score a 90th minute equaliser.

 

[wedward]

Hategames is just here to rile people up.

This too.

Mou. whoever Mou manages. this season it's Chelsea.

you vastly overestimate my importance in this community.

 

[Scully Scully Scoo]

Instead of yelling that Dzeko should be sold, yell that some of these "defenders " should be sold

How many failures has this City team had because of complete brainfarts from Demi or Kompany?

Sure Dzeko has missed some brain fart of chances but he has still done better than Negredo and Jovetic, complete fuckin flops.

jovetic has been injured most of the season so i wouldnt call him a flop. negredo was on fire before his shoulder injury, city need to strengthen the cb position though

 

[arkon]

Aguero and Toure off? This is it. City bottlejob imminent

 

[Jarnet87]

Score more goals you stupid kunts. We know you can't defend.

 

[Fergie]

I sense a Kompany error/flop.

 

[jtb]

it's one thing to be an endearing troll or even to have a harmless schtick (avaya/doicare). trolling is fun and then you eat crow at the end of the season when Liverpool turn out to be good.

it's another entirely to just post aggressively stupid garbage post after post after post. it's not amusing, it's not funny, it's just a waste of everyone's fucking time. the big CL matches always bring out the worst posters out of the woodwork though because there's no need for rational human thought, only schadenfruede. I'm sure the world cup threads will be insufferable but I do think it'll all settle down in the summer and once the new season rolls around again, though. it's cyclical.

I don't mind the trolling but the aggressive stupidity is really grating.

hope Yurt comes back. can he reverse his perma if he wanted to come back?

 

[Vivalaraza]

City look shook one

If Everton go for it they will get a result

But will they...

 

[LanceVance]

I don't know why anyone responds to hategames. His trolling is more obvious than doicare. He's clearly just some 13 year old kid, the sooner everyone ignores him the sooner he'll disappear.

 

[Tawpgun]

Jeeeeeeesus

 

[Fry]

Pls everton

Pls god

 

[Meier]

Great save. Can't believe we didn't get 4 there.

 

[Arnie]

Howard makes a save

That's a fucking first

Wait did yurt ask to leave?

 

[Mascot]

Mou. whoever Mou manages. this season it's Chelsea.

OK, thanks. Not quite sure how that totally explains your hard-on for Liverpool, but each to their own I guess.

 

[Salvadora]

This thread just needs new blood.

Without it, we're trapped in a doicare-Lambda-Hategames triumvirate of shite.

 

[Hixx]

He requested a perma, yeah.

don't worry, Lambda will leave after the EL final.

We need a cause to rally around

To remember what we mean all mean to each other

Like cunt-gate

Yeah, he did

I always thought/assumed that it was okay to make fun of the teams, players and managers. But not the posters themselves, as in directly insulting or attacking anyone.

If making fun of teams themselves has a limit, then id like to know and stop doing it.

You're right on both counts to some degree.

- Don't target your insults or jokes at GAF members.
- Entities outside of GAF are fair game.

The problem with the question with regards "amount" or "severity" is that it is completely subjective to each and every person. For instance there is a certain amount of banter that flies around in this community thread which is relatively acceptable where people who know each other well will call each other names/crude words. Its very nature means it is not conductive to a harmonious environment within the thread but it's also an intrical part of the community and not something we would want to lose. There's definitely a line here where people need to be careful not to cross.

My point in my earlier post is that as the level of trolling and/or banter has gradually increased in this thread over the past couple of years, and has ignited over the past few weeks in particular as tensions are raised as matches have become more meaningful, this community has become filled with some utterly loathsome and persistent attempts of trolling, goading or baiting. It's not conductive to good discussion or attracting new members to take part.

The World Cup is right around the corner. People who don't normally follow the sport are interested for four weeks. Imagine these same people wanting to follow the game coming in to this thread afterwards and seeing the level of vitriol and just rancid trolling which this thread has become accustomed to as of late. They wont want any part of it. We need to take a long look at ourselves and what we want this community to mean and be to each other.

 

[Fergie]

Silva coming on.

Nasri off.

 

[Mr.Marston]

Silva coming on

We need United to become great again so everyone can go back to despising us.

Having ABU hate at the core of this thread is what held it together.

 

[Clegg]

This is my new favourite image. Did the people who commissioned this piece do it with a straight face?

 

[LTWheels]

i don't think Everton will get a third.

 

[Meier]

Feel like I'm gonna puke. 😖

oh so having a different opinion = trolling now? kun is better than suarez, thats a fact

 

[K1LLER7]

Heard Aguero got injured again.

Such bad luck with injuries

 

[Mascot]

This is my new favourite image. Did the people who commissioned this piece do it with a straight face?

Is that Bill Oddie?

 

[Clegg]

Wes, I say this seriously.

Start banning people. That'll sort this thread out right sharpish imo.

 

[arkon]

Feel like I'm gonna puke. 😖

Must be extremely nerve-wracking for those directly affected by the result.

 

[Scum]

#FreeYurt

Jinx...

 

[Vivalaraza]

I would rather have Aguero too tbh.

But I am biased and have morals (that's the troll)

 

[Feorax]

Baines has been pretty poor today.

 

[Tawpgun]

Ummm

Woy Hedgehog will unite us

Salva's right, we do need some new people who aren't purely antagonistic and post purely to rile people up.

We are all human, we will see these wum posts and in a rush of blood respond to them.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Naismith running into Fernandinho!

/Fellaini

 

[SuperHans]

This ref is shit.

 

[Into]

Did not even touch him on the face

Flopper

 

[Labadal]

Ref not giving Everton anything.

 

[Mascot]

if Kun and Toure are out for the remainder of the season, then hope still exists.

Edit: and Dzeko. It looks terminal. Why else would he waste precious time?

 

[Vivalaraza]

Gonna be interesting to see what City do in these last 10.

Do they sit back? It would make sense I guess but I really don't know if they are strong enough at the back to rely on that.

Edit - Dzeko lol what are you doing mate
