Certified Legendary Thread The Welching thread

[Jatz]

so because I may not get answer I was looking for I should not speak my mind. Ok.

Just hope as a moderating group you understand what you've started here. WR will have this thrown in his face months from now, they always do, if you're ready for that angst....

Thanks for the notice of what mods should expect. We're all pretty new at this caper

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Good idea.



You know what, I don't think we'll win but for you I'll accept an avatar bet for two weeks. Yay or nay?

Yay.

If United win, I'll retire from Big Footy in shame - a broken man who will Welch from one forum to another as a lost soul.

If City win, the badge is removed and no reference to it shall ever be made again. And I chose an avatar for you.

Deal?

 

[manureid]

Dont leave. Just put the bloody Arsenal badge on.

It's gone too far for that - and as Dr G rightly points out, it will be used as a stick to beat me with for eternity. This bet represents a chance to wipe the slate clean - or be banished forever

 

[Loonerty]

Hey Gero, please don't insult me and then send me an PM apologising for being a dick, if you're going to be a dick embrace the dickish nature, it loses all credibility when you have a sook about it.

No one is asking you to post in this thread yet here you are crying again for you football friend. Jog on son.

Doctor Gero: He's not my ****ing football friend!

 

[elhadjihenry]

What's the point of this? Only Doctor Colossus would be involved in the bet so he is the only one who has to abide by the terms.

If you want to stop being referred to as a welcher, stop bloody welching. Change your avatar and the badge will be removed, it's the only way to end it and the sooner you realise that the better.

 

[pantskyle]

Ummm no, I just told you I'd do an avatar bet.

I'm not allowing you to weasel out of the badge nor do I care if you leave BF and don't return.

 

[Starburns_]

So how long is it going to be before we actually move on from this petty nonsense?

When Welchstone pays up.

How can I move on? I've been branded for life

Once you've paid up it all goes away, you were just late to do so.

Yay.

That's not how the welch badge works, you can only rid yourself of it by complying with the initial terms.

Plus it wasn't a bet, so Pants isn't even in a position to release you from it.

If anything I'd do anything possible to make sure he keeps it. The branding of Welcher is fair and is permanent, which means forever.

 

[Fryer Tuck]

It's rather cute seeing those two become buddies.

Ha ha, and now he's going to make a bet of it!

Speaking of which, SM 's avatar... and your sig, (but not as much). The shame of it all... I hope something can be done about that the next time Hull meets Leicester.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

No one has even given me an avatar to upload.

You lot are just taking the piss

Well, if you want maximum pain:

Worst Arsenal player taking the mickey of Worst North London Club takes the cake.

I mean, you might as well go for the Nigel Pearson treatment after that.

Hahahahaha. Duuuuuude. I mean - duuuude.

First you make the commitment. Pants picks up on it and you immediately try to get out of it. 1 attempt to back out before anything else had happened. Then you get it wrong and Mata is starting games, and so you say you didn't make the commitment, but you will follow through on it if Pants' post gets 20 likes. 2nd sustained attempt to get out of it. Then a Mod puts the welching badge on and you make this 3rd attempt to get out of it. Then you are offered terms to get out of it and you try to negotiate them down multiple times, despite being in no position to negotiate. 4th attempt. Then after all these pages of poking fun at you, you finally seem to get it and ask if Pants wants another bet, but your stakes are:

• you win and the welching badge is removed (Pants has no power to do this), plus you request "no reference to it shall ever be made again" AND you will give him a new avatar, which is exactly the thing you were so annoyed about in the first place that it caused you to welch!
• OR he wins and you "retire from Big Footy", which is the thing you previously threatened you would do if you didn't get the badge removed

We all know you'd come back as a new avatar anyway. Which would be a welch on your commitment, but you have been known to do that!

And the oddest thing is, that you clearly hate the welching tag, so you must understand how welching is annoying and undercuts all the humour derived from when someone commits to doing something that backs up their opinions. So how can you not see that your multiple attempts to welch out of your welching are bad too??? Cray cray.

AND now you're claiming you've never been given an avatar???? I look forward to guessing which is your new alias. Maybe Welcheros?

I was clearly taking the piss when I made the statement - it was never ratified as a proper bet. It was made to rustle jimmies that's all. Everyone knows that as well. But had someone taken me up on it and made an official avatar bet out of it then I would of had to in order to save face. Anyway, after putting up some futile resistance I decided I would go ahead with the avatar change. But then the mods got involved, stuck the badge on me and it all got messy. It became a matter of principles, as I have been made a scapegoat here (probably for being a Pom) and really I just can't let that slide.

I want a bet for the Manchester derby this weekend. Happy to listen to suggestions for it

Bloody hell FT you have really got it in for me too.

I thought you were a voice of reason

 

[FAITH]

i deserve a badge. heart and soul of association.

Nah, I don't. You wanted a suggestion, so I just gave one, and what better then that?

The one that Cruyff's offered is the same as Latro's, so that's no fun.

 

[glenferry23]

Dr G has restored my faith in Aussies. Cant believe how many on here don't have independent thoughts and just go along with the crowd. If Bojan turns on me that will be the final straw

It's unfortunately weeded out of us in our schooling system.

Geez, where to start?

You weren't taking the piss.
A statement does not need to be ratified as a bet.
No jimmies were rustled, another failure from you.
You did not decide to go ahead with the avatar, I even warned you that you would receive a badge if you didn't.
Mods just looking after the integrity of the internet. Bravo mods.
You're not a scapegoat, you got what you deserved.
I'm also a pom so that line doesn't work.
You don't need to let it slide, the terms are set, you adhere or keep the badge. Simples.

6th time! And you've even whacked in a bit of "probably for being a Pom" for good measure.

Some Bay people popped in, but otherwise it looks like mostly soccer people to me - no bias there. And I had no idea you're an English immigrant so I don't know if anyone else did.

The only thing "Everyone knows" is that you've dug yourself a hole which almost reaches back to England might even sate Gina Rinehart's appetite.

And Pants already offered you an avatar bet on the derby. Very fair. You just tried to make the terms win-win for you. Perhaps your next music clip could be 'Pet Shop Boys - Go Welch'?

This is just complete bollocks. When did you warn me about the badge? I never saw that.

You ain't a Pom. If you are, you've been away from the place for so long that you have forgotten what it means
