Holy titty fuck, Dante to the rescue!

 

[Bo-Locks]

He deserved it. He posted an incorrect facebook profile of the alleged Newton shooter, and generally seemed way too excitable.

I've looked in on the thread and it's a complete clusterfuck.

 

[Linius]

Mmkay

Let's hope it's a short one. I still miss a thread where mods can post who is banned and why they are banned. And for how long. That would make everything a lot more transparant.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Kept posting fake information, the same shit the media pulls in sensationalist stories like this. Good riddance, I say.

Yep think the ban was for his overall shit in that thread. Also some other bans with people attacking him

[Freewheelin']

Yeah the mods need to be a lot more clearer. Maybe Mumei can tell us how long?

 

[Yen]

The whole thread talks about how stupid it is to name suspects without police confirmation, so what does Meus do? Names suspects without police confirmation.

 

[Linius]

Yeah the mods need to be a lot more clearer. Maybe Mumei can tell us how long?

Let's try the Mumei alarm. RING

 

[Wes]

Charlotte Church on HIGNFY. Mmm.

Never mind, Meus says it is a temp ban :/

 

[Linius]

Never mind, Meus says it is a perma :/

Say what :|

That escalated quickly.

 

[pulga]

You mean me or the real Messi?

The real Messi. You're too big for me :lol Real Messi and I share our nickname for a reason.

 

[Vivalaraza]

Never mind, Meus says it is a perma :/

Does he feel confident he can come back from this?

 

[Broder Salsa]

Yeah the mods need to be a lot more clearer. Maybe Mumei can tell us how long?

Not being transparent about ban reasons is deliberate... Even if kind of silly as it creates so much speculation instead.

 

[Freewheelin']

Say what :|

That escalated quickly.

Just to be clear, first of all he made a mistake by posting the FB link first and then felt bad for that so he apologised.

He got banned for saying fuck off to that poster though :lol that's very harsh.

 

[Jeff Albertson]

He told a guy to fuck off as well which never goes down well

I've said a couple of things in those threads none too controversial but someone will twist it and make it so

Always tread carefully in emotional threads

 

[Broder Salsa]

Just to be clear, first of all he made a mistake by posting the FB link first and then felt bad for that so he apologised.

and continued his TMZ like reporting, with bold red posts with repeated text. :lol

 

[dc89]

Meus. #damn

 

[jtb]

Yeah he might have been banned for the "fuck off" but the ridiculous reporting coupled with the indulgent red text (it's bad enough when people do this normally, but for fake news? c'mon son) probably put him on very thin ice to begin with.

edit: fuck I'm slow

 

[Messi]

Never mind, Meus says it is a temp ban :/

Well thats a shame another good footygaffer perma'd

The real Messi. You're too big for me :lol Real Messi and I share our nickname for a reason.

I wish I was in Barca for new years :'(. I'll go over in feb for the CL maybe

 

[Linius]

That Dutch forum I frequent is always transparant about bans being given. I like that open culture so everybody knows what's what.

Mmm, that's harsh indeed :/

Didn't know 'fuck off' could earn you a perma.

 

[Bo-Locks]

Is this the end of betting GAF? Meus was the one who started the trend, right?

 

[Willkiller]

I like Meus and I'll be sad to see him gone. The sensationalist bullshit isn't cool though.


Oh, and can we not have the OT about a perma this time

 

[Freewheelin']

and continued his TMZ like reporting, with bold red posts with repeated text. :lol

best to ask him about that than assume the worst.

 

[dc89]

Is this the end of betting GAF? Meus was the one who started the trend, right?

Yup. I believe he did. He won some big dollar if I remember rightly.

 

[Messi]

See what I did there, I reported his ban incorrectly

 

[Empty]

he's been banned loads before. probably a last straw thing. i'll miss the crazy guy but he deserved an instant ban for that facebook shit let alone the fuck off.

Nah he says that its a temp ban (dunno how long though :/)

 

[derExperte]

If only we didn't suck at corner kicks/free kicks we might already be leading...

Disappointing result, partially caused by terrible standards, bad refereeing and ter Stegen.

 

[Linius]

Nah he says that its a temp ban (dunno how long though :/)

So what is it now? :lol

Get your mind straight

 

[Blablurn]

one of these days i guess :/

anyways, gonna fly to china in the upcoming week. guess i won't be posting much in the next time here. but it's only because i'm busy there and not because i hate u guys <3

take it easy and don't get banned!

 

[Oxx]

Freewheelin mis-reporting the length of Meus' ban is far too meta for me to handle.

 

[ShogunX]

Did Sahin break his nose against West Ham btw? Very odd to be subbed for a bleeding nose

Yep.

Sahin broke his nose after about 10 minutes against Udinese. He was subbed because they couldn't stop the blood flowing.

 

[Yen]

They always come in threes, Who is the next to get banned?

 

[dc89]

Antti is our new tipster!!! Insane betting.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

RIP Meus

Arsenal GAF dropping like flies. :/

 

[Vivalaraza]

Lol Mancini is saying Clattenburg wound up Barry by being sarcastic which led to him using insulting language.

That's just pathetic...

 

[Kiraly]

Turns out that Facebook he posted turned out to be true.

Only not of the murderer, but of his brother. Insane.

Wilbury is overdue one, may be me though

 

[pulga]

So what the fuck. They perm'd or temp banned Meus? Get your shit together footygaf.

Woo ticket Rome-Barcelona officially purchased! I will take a giant piss outside of Camp Nou.

So, in other words, not true.

Got confirmation from a mod, dudes

says its a few weeks ban.

 

[Arnie]

I don't agree.

When you're on a football field you're impassioned, frustrated if you're losing, and especially so if you believe the referee isn't doing his job properly. The referee is meant to be an impartial arbiter of the game, if he's being sarcastic in response to legitimate issues you may have then I think anger is an appropriate reaction.

Not saying Barry was right to call Clattenburg what he did, but I can understand it in this instance, if what Mancini says is true.

Banception in the works

 

[sneaky77]

why did Meus get banned?

nevermind I saw the previous page..


Its always best to stay out of threads like that

 

[Linius]

All the info you need can be found on this page and the one before

-:edit

damn it sneaky

 

[Phantast2k]

Why even get into those threads during the events? Why is there a need to exchange/trade this instant information when your children/relatives are not involved? Why express regret and sorrow when the people who are suffering from this can't possibly read it?
Who are you talking to? Is it just so that people can feel good about themselves despite the events?

I sometimes feel like there's some sort of disaster porn going on where people come in and count the victims, "ONE MORE VICTIM REPORTED!" and feel sorry just to have emotional spikes of some sort.
It's all an illusion, it's far away. If you lived a century ago, chances are, you'd probably never even hear about stuff like this occurring if you didn't live in America (which Meus doesn't).
Even when artists die you have some sort of a stake there as you might have expected to hear/read some more of their works, but these are just regular people, miles upon miles away from you. Why is there a need to process such events publicly?

I wouldn't dare to post all this in the said thread as I don't really know if someone in there is actually, really affected by this.

Post-event analysis is, of course, a different story and if you live close by (and maybe have kids of your own) I can understand the sudden need for communication, consolation, etc.

Welp, back to professional sports (/football). An utterly pointless source of entertainment for the masses to distract them from their shitty lives (unlike those of most professional football players) and satisfy their need to beat a neighboring city or country :|
