A lot of people in here are regulars or visitors on other soccer forums, or maybe read something insane in a comments section somehwere, but wherever you find your terrible posts about soccer please bring them back here for all of us to laugh at. If you don't want to be grassed up you can paste them unsourced, or if you want to bring attention to somewhere terrible you can do that too. I just ask that this thread remain for bad posts we can all laugh at. IT IS NOT FOR ARGUING ABOUT THE CONTENT. If the content doesn't seem insane enough to be funny to everyone in here, it's not funny enough to post. If it's sort of borderline it's just going to cause annoying slapfights when someone starts the "Well this post isn't that insane if you look at it in the context ofaaaaaaaaaaaa" who cares gently caress you.

In summation:

find really really really bad/crazy/funny posts
post them here
keep your replies light and lmao heavy
an occasional emptyquote is fine
if it's not really out there or you feel like debating a pasted post, turn 360 degrees and walk away from this thread

First off let me tell you that Construction workers are nothing like enslaved, specially in Qatar. I know this because I'm a journalist and I went to Qatar recently especially to report on a similar story.
What happens is that the construction company orders construction workers from a recruiting company. They specify that the workers must know the safety procedures, including using equipment and so on. However the recruitment companies find it cheaper to actually forge that certificate. So workers go there unfortunately no nothing at all about safety and one accident after another ensue.
So the government need to work on that, is it slavery? hardly. It's less severe than Mexican workers who go to the US (illegal immigration).

But workers work for 9 hours including an hour lunch break (that is the law in Qatar). They are provided with housing and transportation (although housing thy get is in ghetto areas).
But they make much more money than had they worked any where else in the world.
And it is a fact that they make more money than teachers in Egypt.

It could be different in other Gulf countries, but I'm positive about Qatar because I reported from their.

Arab "states" did not exist until the 20th century, slavery ended in their with th arrival of Islam. Mohammed banished slavery and adopted a former slave as his own and assigned another as "imam" responsible for calling people to prayer.

Even in the modern world, England crimes far exceed that of Qatar. World Wars, going into Afghanistan and Iraq and killing innocent soldiers and innocent local families for unfounded reasons (there are documents that prove its about oil and I'm more than happy to PM you those documents).

You have Ex pats from England who go work in Qatar, do you have it the other way around?
English Ex pats, just like from any other country, come to Qatar because it provide them with a standard of living their countries cannot deal with. Isn't that a crime against humanity? Isn't raising tuition fees and forbidding a large sector from getting higher education and practically destroying their future a crime against humanity?

May be that's why England got two votes.

Too much shite is posted on here. We need to sort this out, once and for all.

I think Rafa is a better attacking coach than Roy.
He is also a better defensive coach.
When it comes to fitness, I think Roy slightly edges it.
But Roy is shite at coaching goalkeepers.
I suppose they’re equally as good at man management.
Rafa is well more mental than Roy.
And Rafa would definitely outshine him tactically.
Technically, I think Roy is slightly better, but only by a bit.
I always get the feeling that Roy adapts well to situations, he is perfect.
But when it comes to determination, Rafa is the man. He’s very determined.
When it comes to judging a player’s ability, Roy is probably better.
But when trying to judge potential ability, Rafa is better.
Rafa also has a better level of discipline.
But Roy is better at motivating the team.
Roy is shite at physiotherapy, he may as well not bother.
But his tactical knowledge is better than Rafa’s.
Both managers prefer a 4-3-3 formation.
Rafa tells his players to close down, but Hodgson can’t make his mind up.
Rafa has a defensive coaching style, but Hodgson has a more general mindset.
Rafa likes direct football, but Roy prefers to pass the ball about a bit.
I would say that Rafa has balanced approach, but Roy is more adventurous.
Rafa sets his team with zonal marking, but Roy likes to mix it.
Hmmm, I think Rafa has excellent knowledge of the Spanish and English transfer markets and good knowledge of the rest, especially in South America.
Roy is poo poo hot on the English market, but there’s not many who know the Finnish transfer market better than him. But he’s not that good in other countries.

My conclusion:

Rafa is a better manager than Roy. He’s about 5.6% better than him. Shame that he’s loving Spanish.

look at this

quote:

After tonight's debacle I decided to sit down and do some research on the man currently called Royston Vontavius Hodgson XVII. Delving deeper than the usual "35 years" I found some information out about the man that I thought most people might not know about. Something to give us all a bit of perspective in this tumultuous time for our club.

Roy began his life, believe it or not, as a great leader of men.


Isildur Roy Hodgson deciding not to destroy the ring of Sauron.

Isildur Roy Hodgson

Picture the scene: You are battling against an army of unimaginable proportion and strength. The leader of that army, a loving massive guy made a sharp black metal, has a ring that he can use to beat you, no matter what you do. Pretty hopeless? Well not according Elendil Hodgson, Roy's father. Being full of hardy English mettle, this old man walked right up to his opponent and cut the weapon out of his hand. He died doing it, but more importantly, he killed his opponent as well.

Now Roy was left with a choice. The weapon was given to him, as his father's heir. Should he destroy it or keep it? Destroying it would mean that his enemy was utterly vanquished forever. Keeping it meant there was a risk of him coming back one day. A no brainer. But Roy being Roy, he decided to keep it. If that wasn't enough, he wore it around his neck on a chain, like a loving bullseye to all his enemies. When his generals warned him against it he just mumbled incoherently and told them he had "35 years experience" of wearing magic rings around his neck. Only problem with that was the rings he'd been wearing around his neck were of paltry magic. Some of them could turn off milk good again. Others created a force field around you to protect you from bad breath.

So what happens? You guessed it, Roy was slain by his enemies, dying with a "Wibble" and the ring was lost for thousands of years. During those years his enemy secretly rebuilt his power, eventually seeking out his lost ring.

Denethor Roy Hodgson

Now by the time the enemy had rebuilt his power, he had a most formidable opponent in the land of Gondor who went by the name of Denethor Roy Hodgson. He was a direct descendant of Isildur, but on the stupid side of the family.

Hearing of the recovery of the ring that Isildur had so spectacularly failed to destroy all those years ago, the old fool rubbed his hands together with glee (also his favourite tv show), and requested that his son Boromir Poulsen Hodgson retreive it for him. Unfortunately the documents I uncovered do not go into detail about what happened to Boromir, but they do say he died. There are suggestions that he was slain by numerous arrows to the chest, being totally incapable of defending himself, and really slow at attacking. But those are spurious rumours.


A publicity shot of Boromir Poulsen Hodgson taken before his fateful trip in search of the Ring.

Now that the ring was lost to him, he blamed his younger son Faramir Paul loving Konchesky Hodgson. Roy was genuinely shocked when Faramir came back from an important stronghold which he had allowed to fall into enemy hands. Why this was a surprise to him was anyone's guess. The popular left-leaning newspaper The Gondorian, in particular, pointed to a long history of defensive lapses made by Faramir in battle, but Roy seemed oblivious, simply rubbing his face when asked for comment.

Eventually, with his city surrounded by enemies, Roy decided that the best form of attack was to set himself alight and dive off the top level of the seven-levelled city. Again, this tactic was atrocious, but it worked better than any of his previous tactics, in that some of his enemies fell to the floor laughing and ended up choking to death on vomit. He later described this as a "famous victory" despite his city lying in ruins and actually being dead.

Pontius Roy Hodgson

Now we enter the footballing era of Roy's historical legacy. His first job as manager saw him take charge of the Roman Empire. It was during this time that he oversaw the decline of the Roman first team. His mistakes are too numerous to recount here so I will concentrate one the one which has gone down as his biggest.
You may be familiar with the name Jesus Christ?

Of course we all know he was the left winger who went on to be one of the biggest stars in world football for almost two thousand years. But back then he was just a promising young talent. After a few appearances for the first team, Roy was starting to grow impatient with the tricky speedster, who had been singled out as one of the team's most inconsistent performers. In six appearances Jesus had set up no goals and hadn't even hit a shot on target. There was some controversy when Roy was recorded as saying that Jesus "Couldn't hit a cross if he was nailed to one." This sparked a feud between the two which culminated in Roy actually having Jesus nailed to a cross for three days and nights in an attempt to "familiawise him" to crosses. This method was contrary to the "arm around the shoulder" method that Roy had, somehow, become synonymous with during his short spell in Rome.


Jesus Christ playing for Barcelona in 2009 amid rumours of an imminent retirement.

Rome's misfortunes mounted after this, with several loses to rivals Carthage, managed by future Barcelona manager Hannibal, Roy saw his popularity hit an all time low and the board were forced to sack him in the face of a peasant revolt. He was replaced with Caligula. Roy himself used what was left of his reputation to secure the Bordeaux job.

Napoleon Roy Hodgson

There is a huge gap in the record after his time in Rome and he doesn't resurface until the late 18th century in France. Eyebrows were raised when Napoleon Roy Hodgson was given the France job. His predecessor was so unpopular that he had literally been guillotined. Roy knew from the off that he needed big results to appease the demanding fans of Les Bleus. To be fair to him, his early results were more than anyone expected after the previous regime's mismanagment. He unified the players and the fans under the same banner and went on a march throughout Europe that no one saw coming, winning three consecutive European Championships and a World Cup (although participation in the World Cup was much less at this point, it was still seen as a more difficult cup to win).

Things seemed to be going incredibly well for Roy, until a poor Qualifying campaign for the 1814 European Championships, saw a French squad wracked by injuries, travel to Russia in a win or bust match. Roy, as he had become accustomed to in his time in France, set his team to attack from the off. For the first 60 minutes his France were all over Alexander's Russia, pressing high up the pitch and playing fast, offensive football that was a joy to behold. However, his poor grasp of sports science and tendancy not to listen to his physios, saw his players run out of gas with half an hour left and only a two goal lead. The Russians, accustomed to the intense cold, still had a lot left in their tanks and ended up running out 4-2 winners.

In a decision which shocked the footballing world, Roy was sacked the next morning and blacklisted from all the top leagues in Europe. It was here that Roy's attacking philosphy died. He would never go out to win from the start of a match ever again.

He took the only job that he could get and sank into obscurity managing the semi-professional island nation of St. Helena.


And that is where the record ends. While his exploits across the millennia must be wide-ranging, it appears that most of his troubled past is lost to the annals of time, perhaps to be rediscovered one day by a time-faring space adventurer. Until then, this is all we have of the life, the times, of Royston Vontavius Hodgson XVII

There's a thread on RAWK discussing Andy Carroll being back in training, etc. and someone posted some concerns:

quote:

I am a bit worried after reading reports that he likes a drink or two and him saying he won't change that.It can hamper his performance and also indicates a slightly bad attitude IMO.Giving up drinking is a minor sacrifice for the lifestyle and wages pros get to enjoy.

I mean a drink once or twice a year(after winning a trophy) is alright in my book but no professional sportsperson should imbibe alcohol regularly if they are "hungry and ambitious".
