Close the tippett thread

[MightyJohncock]

Time to close the tippett thread?

Erase him from our memories (until he lines up against us at home - that will be awesome to hear the crowd giving the biggest boos and you know whats of all time)

otherwise, time to move on from him and if commenting about the penalties etc i believe it should be in a new thread.

 

[Pilchard_Adams]

Nah I think the Tippett thread should be left forever open

And what were the penalties for, MJ? We did such and such for player X?? Or was it Tippett?

Nahh, let everyone have their say, express their thoughts, vent their feelings if necessary and it'll die a natural death.

Besides, it's an exhibition piece really, especially some of the stuff during the day today!!

Before you do close it down, could we just have a few minutes alone to say goodbye?

 

[MightyJohncock]

i just realised - tippett is banned until round 12 and we play gws in i think rd 7, then sydney in round 11. he wont play against us unless it is finals. - damn - i was looking forward to him lining up against us - would have been awesome to see the backlash he would get - i guess we will have to wait another year perhaps

true it is about tippett not player x however i dont think we need to be keeping a thread going with his name in it - thats all.

mention him in a new thread if you wish, but no more threads with his name in the title - he aint worth it. he is scum.

I just wish we were allowed to have other threads for particulars. Like the one that outlined what penalties that were received and was then banished because it "was covered in the Tippett thread." Excuse us if we don't want to trawl through 30 pages of guff to find actual news.

I don't even read the Tippett thread anymore because it's impossible to find anything in between the 28 different conversations so instead of using BF for my news i've been using twitter and other outlets. I fail to see how having everything in the one thread is any more efficient.

Edit: Just to clarify, i don't think it needs to be locked. Let it go on its natural course. Just don't lock any other threads that share news with it, it's so much more refreshing to log in and see a thread called "Sanctions handed down" and be able to click and read the actual result in 1 second.

maybe we can challenge the afl's ruling and argue that tippett should only have a 9 or 10 game ban so he can line up against us. obviously it would strengthen the sydney team if he played, but it would be worth it.

 

[PyroCrow]

We should permanently sticky it so that I becomes an internet time capsule for future generations

i agree - death for the tippett thread!! its becoming ridiculous that we can't start new threads for each phase of this whole saga - that's how it always was in the past - yes its stupid to have 15 tippett threads going, but i think 3 or 4 is reasonable

 

[Huntercrow]

The thread has just started, give it a go.

 

[JP Sauce]

When the day eventually comes I'd like to say a few words on the life of the Tippett thread, if I may.

 

[Vader]

The Tippett thread will not be closed. It will (eventually) die a natural death, just like every other thread on BigFooty, due to a lack of interest.

For now though, it's still serving a purpose as a central location for discussing the penalties and doing a post-mortem on what happened, once the club's management gets back to Adelaide and are finally able to reveal their side of the story to the local media.

Cant we open the other thread for discussing the penalties?
That thread is too big to navigate.
It was up to 1030 pages last time I checked, I think that means there's 1020 pages I havnt read.
Too hard to find new stuff in so much

 

[Vader]

Just go to the end of it and add your thoughts there. I don't see why we need a proliferation of Tippett threads at this point in the saga.

You can still throw rotten eggs at the girl in round 13 if Sydney are dumb enough to take him.

Gee, if only I had that much excitement to look forward to...

 

[Draft Bored]

Has to stay open for two more events in my opinion:

a) his salary nomination
b) the draft

Point three, we could draft him in the PSD

This -

I haven't been in the mega-Tippett thread for weeks now, I found it a really annoying thread to read.

Even though the thread is now locked, the Crows4Eva thread was great because it one post without otherwise searching I got a super quick run down of the penalties that were handed out (and I didn't have to read about how much people hate him)

 

[mattymac]

It pretty much became about posing and post counting some time ago. But it makes some people happy in their own way so if its not hurting anyone, let them eat cake

 

[Freddy Bassett]

I can not wait for the thread to be closed... I find it hard to bother posting at present.. My productivity at work has gone through the roof as a result

I made a thread specifically for talking about the penalties but it got closed in about 30 seconds because 'it had been well and truly covered in the Tippett thread'.

I figured it was a big enough topic to warrant it's own thread, plus I thought people might not want to wade through a 1000+ page long thread to comment on the topic, but apparently not.

 

[mulz]

i agree close the tippet thread, he is gone.

trigg is still here tho, keep them threads going strong.

You play against Sydney more than once right?
