Discussion Unpopular Opinion: Match Threads

[ClarkeM]

TIL nobody in the SFA has a sense of humour.

Nah you just weren’t being funny.

They're all at Spotswood mate, none anywhere else.

 

[nahnah]

I like it.

Thank you

 

[Headless]

Didn’t notice

You did.

 

[ClarkeM]

You did.

Okay then I don’t remember

I do agree with one point, people sometimes put too much effort in match thread OPs that don't really matter. I doubt anyone is going to read long winded match OPs every single week.

Imo the ones that need good quality OPs are:

1. Grand final
2. Round 1
3. Other Finals
4. "special" rounds

The rest can be almost anything.

You asked me to save the league…

I've always advocated for match sim results to be posted in the ladder thread each Sunday. Afterwards should then be an hour allocated for discussion of the results. The forum should then be locked for the reminder of the week.

We all love a great match thread OP right? There’s no disputing that the effort some people go to for 10 seconds of a tenth of a smirk to random strangers on the internet goes a long way.

However what we love more is a match thread being posted than the content within the OP. The Match Threads exist to serve the two clubs competing a safe-haven; a place to banter, talk s**t and enjoy their week.

Is it time that we mandate the match thread being posted on time is more important for the Sweet FA community than the contents within the OP which are hit or miss, relative to the stale novelty that exists within their creation. Monday night match threads or Tuesday morning, whatever it is. Let’s just have the match threads up so the 12 teams competing have a place to engage with each other rather than waiting on one person, to take their time - either writing and preparing the OP’s or otherwise just being busy even though they agreed to do them.

Fact remains, the OP’s are editable. So let’s just leave it to the creator to edit it in when they’re ready to.

So in short, * you The Jesus. I didn’t want to post a thread about match threads even after you had posted that discussion thread and after a few drinks and some down time, it’s just raised again in my mind that the match threads delay is continually counter-productive to match thread activity. So let’s just get the match threads going and let’s keep it set to a time we all can agree on.

Thanks.

I have while discussion thread for this very topic

as I will be posting the rd 8 match threads, I will take into account what you have presented here.

ClarkeM out of interest what is your expectations of a suitable time for match threads to have been posted by or before?

Thanks

Gunna screenshot this, no one has ever had to ask ClarkeM for their opinion before, it is usually already provided in anticipation …

if ClarkeM doesn't respond soon I can understand why nobody does

Just proving I’ve been here a teensy bit longer than “two minutes”

Three minutes then?

I think TL15 had a point about the need to delay match threads to allow some oxygen for media and discussion threads.

The impeccable timing of the threads allowed a flurry of useful media. I expect the Admin and Committee to endorse the future posting of match threads on Tuesday evening.

I would have them come out on a Thursday, they drag out too long before match day, there's invariably a couple of days of not much going on in them. I don't see the justification for six days of it. use the other days for more general things where everyone can get involved together. I know this won't be popular but putting it out there anyway.

 

[Pugsley]

Why don't we start them on a Sunday after match completion.
