Post game pot shot thread

[Pie eyed]

Ironic you post a picture of an inanimate object after a post about thinking....

 

[PhiloBeddoe]

here you go guys.
Do your best.

I'll start....I posted in the game thread very critical of the way we played in that first half.
Bloody awful and I called it.
No apologies.
And I'll do the same whenever tripe is served up to me live and free.

I am fascinated though by what type of person goes to the game then runs back home and. Instead of jumping into the post game thread, first reviews the game day thread.
Why? If not to just mine the thread to do a bit of dick swinging?
Anyone got an explanation?

Anyway, do your best guys. Because for me, I'll be back in the game day thread next week telling it like I see it. Good and bad.
Deal with it.

I've got an explanation for what I do.
I watched the replay and the married up some of the comments with what I saw. I like to see what the opinions of others are about certain passages of play or efforts. Some of the comments were unwarranted. Yep the first half was shite but comments directed at players in certain instances were way off.
When poster have a crack at those who have a big set of swingers and call it as they see it, they are dealing with it.

I don't think anyone should be held accountable for what is said in the game day thread. Or at the footy.
Unless your name is Black_White
I said for the immediate sacking of Toovey when I was at the game.
But that was different.
Different, when I say it.
See what I did there, I copied Black_White style of posting.
See? You're not that special.

Not 100% sure what your point is.
Dunno why you think I'm special, but thanks.
Maybe the radical solution for this whole debate is to simply delete the game day thread.
That way there can be no mining and the people who post are afforded the same protection as those at the game.

I'm allowed to have an opinion but you're not allowed to have an opinion of my opinion.

 

[Pie eyed]

You're wrong you know....

 

[jerry springer]

nothing better than a good vent.we were god awful in that first half there is no other way to put it

 

[NT.Thunder]

Wait a second, am I on the internet here or not, what is this strange place

 

[Bring_Back_Brad]

bit of venting never harmed anyone, stop your winging or I'll give you all something to whinge about.
I knew North would tire and we would come over them at the end. Too much talent in the side to fall over to s vanilla team like North. In all fairness North looked bloody good in the first half. Their link up game was as good as any team I've seen the past few years. If they had kicked straight we would have been screwed and no chance for a comeback.

Mate, I don't mean to alarm you but one of the L's in your sig isn't bolded like the other two are.

 

[Anzacday]

I must be a rare breed, I don't yell abuse at the TV if I'm not at the game and I don't yell abuse at our players, (despite feeling disappointed at times).
When Jarrad Waite centres the ball and we get a goal from it, now that's a whole new story - "Thanks Jarrad, your goal - Ya Dud"

I'm a big time TV screamer. Also my couch gets assaulted pretty badly. My household furniture in general does not enjoy match day.

WTF! Are you serious? How long has it been like that? What yo do, what to do

Serious? How about you man up and deal with the fact that when you make comments in a public forum, if subsequent events cast those comments in an embarrassing light, some people are going to remind you of them? Freedom of comment doesn't mean freedom from criticism.

The issue people have is the lack of faith you showed in the players and team. That lack of faith might have been justified, in which case you could tell those arguing for having faith that they were wrong. But in the end, your opinion was shown up in this instance by events.

Either put your hand up, admit you got carried away and *maybe* lose a little bit of credibility (though really who counts or cares about that sort of thing after 24 hours anyway) or do what some of the regularly critical posters like THATSGOLD do and stick to your guns if you think your opinion was right. Either option for owning it is much better than whinging and trying to get people to not criticise you because doing so is unfair.

Otherwise, if you can't bear people remembering and on occasion criticising your comments, don't post on a public forum.

Now that it's drawn our attention, you need to fix it.

 

[Mkcaptain]

I don't think you should take what people say in the game day thread seriously just as I hope people watching the footy with me don't take what I say seriously. I'm usually pretty quiet at the ground but strangely at home I get very vocal and say stuff that would definitely come back haunt me if I posted it in the gameday thread. I believe I even called our esteemed captain an idiot when he passed the ball to Oxley last week only for Oxley to nail the goal. But just as quickly I'll call someone a legend after one piece of play. Its just that I'm passionate about Collingwood and that passion overtakes my reason and logical thinking during a tight game

I don't read the match day thread after a bad quarter cause its predictable what will be in there. But if people want to vent that's fine for them. When people are reading those posts they need to remember the context those posts were written in and possibly what their emotions were at that time.

I applaud the constantly rational and calm amongst us but sadly that can't be all of us.

Ummmm...pretty sure I put my hand up, twice, in the post game thread.
Then I started this thread because someone suggested it would be a idea to keep the whinging out of the post game thread.
I've never had a problem with my behaviour and as stated, don't feel the need to apologise for comments in the game day thread.
My concern about the game day thread and its direct correlation to the derailing of the post game thread.
The suggestion to delete the thread is just a thought bubble to prevent future derailing.

I generally sit on the floor at home when watching footy, and have no objects within reaching distance in case emotion gets the better of me. Punching a pillow or the floor can be a good outlet, a much smarter outlet than throwing my remote at the TV.

No one should be held accountable for what they say in the game day thread. The inevitability is that we all love our team but get pissed off when they play shit lol. All footy fans are like that, we're not immune.

 

[Countrypie]

I don't have the energy to vent, I'm too busy riding an emotional wave second by second inch by bleeding inch. If it makes you feel better vent away, it's probably healthier than have your guts churning and your heart pumping at a thousand beats a minute.

 

[MightyPies1]

Fwiw I do agree with Black_White on thia one...

I sit in my cot but after Sunday's game I now have strings tied to all of my toys and my dummy is now attached to a rubber band fastened around the back of my head!

 

[frizzle]

Hmmmm perhaps I should read the game day thread to see what this is all about?
Nah bugger it.

very good

 

[76woodenspooners]

Nothing to do with point scoring or dick swinging ...

... the gameday thread was simply a hell of a lot more entertaining than the post match thread.

It was a friggen Shakespearean masterpiece of tragedy, angst, challenge and triumph - against the odds - over the inner demons of self doubt.

 

[Cousin of Daicos]

I was in Sydney so I couldn't watch it. Kinda glad too because I would have ripped some hugely hyperbolic overreactions.

 

[Soaring Magpie]

I only read the game day thread pre match these days, once the game starts its becomes just a vent thread if we are losing and serves no other purpose.
