Opinion Game Day Threads

[Hank Heavenly]

Hey,

I know a lot of people are posting in Big footy during our games...

I couldn't think of anything worse. Just wondering how or why you all do it.

Im usually to caught up in the game to be sitting there typing away.

For me, I cant scream Idiot, Pig, ****, Moron, Spud, dick head, ******* etc when im at the game as I normally have my 2 boys with me. So I post it on the game day thread

its a coping mechanism i developed when we had pig boy proctor on our list

It's fun to pop in at half time and see who's who in the zoo.
And I mean zoo, or possibly asylum

Same. Game time is BF free zone for me. All I care about is the game in front of me and maybe looking up stats during the breaks.

Only time I pop in during games is when we are interstate and I have the stats and gameday thread open in front of me otherwise i'm at the games.

I usually settle for posting at breaks, unless something really dumb or amazing happens.

I sometimes post during quarters but realise i'm getting distracted so put my laptop or phone away.

Good for you.

its funny reading everyone rage at us during a game. especially when we end up winning. people forget its much harder out on the field than in the arm chair.

During some games I either type into the computer or break something, sometimes both.

I find it's a way of venting without swearing in front of the kids.

Do I regret what I type in the heat of battle at times?... Very much so.

A person reading the posts without the context of a live game would be recommending therapy - but who needs that when you have bigfooty. It's bigtherapy.

I enjoy checking at half time of games then comparing at full time. The change some posters go through is like watching Jeckel and Hyde.

So true! lol

I remember one game I was like "Morris you hack, you make me sick, tackle dont always bump"!!!

10 minutes later he went the bump again which missed the target

"OMG you spud, you are killing us by not impacting contest! Drop Morris"

20 minutes later, he lands a bone crushing tackle, the ball spills, he recovers as quickly as spiderman and kicks the goal.

"OMG Morris you jet, fantastic tackle! I love you!!!"

its my way of venting. Especially if its a night game cause the kids are asleep. I also bite back at the negative posters. it allows me to engage with other like minded footy followers during the game as i generally am by myself watching it

I used to look at the gameday threads and lol at the posters who generally stay positive lose their shit at a player after they screw something up.

I figure this is their real opinion, and the more balanced view they provide when not emotional is a false representation of their real thoughts.

Or is it the other way around?

 

[TigerImposter]

It stops me from booing

It's a bit like masturbation really. You should only do it when you're at home and alone.

I drop in occasionally for a reality check. Sometimes when I'm watching us play I have moments where I cant quite believe what Im seeing.
