Big Footy

Post: # 1281987Post Austinnn »

I'm probably asking for trouble here, but I wanted to know your opinion on Big Footy Saints forum.

I hadn't checked it out before but I came across it recently and it seems to be have the same types of discussion about football, but without all the pitiful sniping that is commonplace here. In fact one poster there recently slagged off Saintsational as a place for posters who want to get nasty. It seems to actually be moderated there, which is one key difference.

I was interested to know what Saintsational veterans thought of the Big Footy forum and if/why you prefer Saintsational. I notice that a few of you have your toes dipped in both ponds, and that is my intention too. But why do people prefer this forum?

Not trolling, just asking.

IMHO, whilst BigFooty have many good posters (by far the mojority of posters) they have their fair share of 'bad' ones as well.
There is also a small group who seem to have a 'superiority complex' about their role in the St Kilda Fan Forum world and take any opportunity to 'bag' other Saints forums (like this one).
They were especially vocal when this site had technical problems and quite a number of saintsational regulars joined up on BF to get their 'fix' of Saints discussion. I must admit that I've not visited there for quite some time though, and it may have changed.

I used to go on Big Footy all the time. The reason I got sick of it wasn't the St Kilda supporter, but rather it was all the other supporters who would come into the St Kilda forum and bait/troll everyone. Happens all the time, but luckily that forum is much better moderated than some other forums I go on.

There is a bit of friction over there at the moment, including a thread about posters being nasty. Very touchy. They don't seem to like newer posters. I find it amusing.

Do you call people on here friends....

Because at 16 hours a day it must be hard to find time for all of your great mates....

I would suggest I have more mates from school, 8 years in the forces, 4 at uni, 12 in education and 25 in cricket and footy than you have in your dungeon posting away on SS

Ever had a premiership team mate??

Ever actually achieved anything...... That haven't ended in failure?!

Another lie. 16 hours on here. Lie. 12 at the most. No friends on here. Actually only met 2 that I know of andd that was a quarter offooty at Sandy. They seemed like good guys. Im glad you told us what you have done. No idea what it proves though. I just go by how arrogantly you post on here that suggests you would struggle for friends. Ever had a primership team mate? Yes. I have acheived plenty. No idea why you would ask that. I have acheived a great life, great friends and a great family. And a sense of humour. Again no idea about you having a great life or family but your posting on here would suggest the friends and the and the sense of humopur avaded you.

Probably reinforces why the OP asked the question to begin with.

I thought this thread was about BigFooty, not BigMart.

Prefer Saintsational because it is more gritty. Not worried about the "nasty" posters because
the bitch-fights are guaranteed to be amusing (see above), they keep the trolls down,
and at the end of the day these are only words floating around in cyberspace...

I have always enjoyed the fact that someone will make a statement about something and within two pages its been hi-jacked by posters slagging off at each other .

I believe it's called freedom of speech !

If people don't like what i say , they can tell me to get stuffed .

Obviously there wrong , but I respect there right to do so !

I think we know each other a little better here...smaller community. Familiarity breeds contempt.

I like the odd bit of sniping on here.

As SS, there are some good posters on bigfooty like BrianSpeaking but also a large percentage of kid and idiots unlike the well informed people on this board..........

I always got the impression that despite some knowledgable forumites, the Saints forum on BF generally doesn't have the same level of movement that this forum does. Seems quiet and slow.


Still no plugger and no Clarky is awfully appealing
