The I am brigade and what they say (brag about ) in no particular order or in any order of dislike, some are not this season but still in my head.

The pricks you help, for example somebody asking for location of a ground. You help with an old post off the same site (easily found) giving the location / address of said ground.

Response was pathetic with no word of thanks, ungrateful sod. The person in question is a self righteous arrogant perick.

Never thought he was like that but another NOT to help in future. I don’t want a feckin medal but a quick ‘ta’ would be nice. I always thank someone if they are of help.

This is for a new award to be given at the end of season 2019 / 20 , The ” Spew Bag Award”  .

===============================================

Most examples below are from what was once a very good Football Forum , I’m afraid it’s been taken over by Political Matters. There is a specific place for Non Football topics but it’s cropping up everywhere.

Also a couple of failed media men and a mod are plying their boring trade on good threads and making things that hard to read.

For some reason the people running the site allow all sports and politics to be mentioned on Football specific threads such as ‘Where did / are you going’. It’s run by the biggest self opinionated pair of condescending boring people you are likely to meet , one is now the self appointed non white spokesperson and the other sits on his fence overlooking somebody else’s empire.

Despite all sports having their own specific sites for going / been to games , it really is crap. Why have those different sections for other sports. There’s also a Sunday equivalent , does anyone use it , of course not they tell everyone all about games seen.

===============================================

Top man having a melt down in print is not a pretty sight , he loves playing the righteous one but it’s his way or no way.

Digging a big feckin hole as he goes , monkey will pass this on.

Now top man has another dig online and then says that’s it and closes the thread. Remember the insecure lad at school picking the ball up saying ”it’s my ball and I’m going home” in a fit of pique. So childish just like the gentleman in question.

So many ‘Victor Meldrews’ is making it a poor site in comparison to what it was , there was a change of hardware recently which required people to reregister . Quite a few because of the state of the site have not bothered migrating across and if anyone did you got attacked by pop up adverts with the only way of getting rid of them a fee, either 6 month / annual ,  not a lot but please it’s a form of tax for using the site regularly.

At least there is an ignore button which allows you to not see posts from certain individuals , I currently ignore 6 with probably more to follow in the near future.

===============================================

A new favourite just posted .

Chap goes a friendly and discovers it’s a 3 x 30 minute half (?) game.

It lasts 80 minutes FFS. !

And people wonder why I don’t go friendlies , it’s not just the crap games it’s the danger of meeting up with people like this.

===============================================

And so the new season PSF’s (20/21) begins and the hordes flock to Tansley 3 Doveholes 3.

The first poster gets the score wrong despite giving all the goal times, Oops missed one. It was 4-3. Says it all.

2 x 40 minutes , on a Saturday FFS.

==============================================

Wow , people asking where did so and so team play when they went , try to help and then they produce the programme saying where the game was played. FFS.

==============================================

Give me strength , there is a RETRO thread for ‘Where did you go’.

Each thread post is given a date , writers still persist in telling you what date their talking about when they post for any given post . We know its in the feckin title . FFS.

===============================================

The Budgie wrote.

‘I am intrigued as to how the Golden goal ticket would generate a prize of £100, which as you say was a very large amount of money.
Surely the tickets would only have cost 5 or 10p each? Were it the latter, then 91 tickets sold would generate £9.10…..were the club really paying out 11 times the income raised?’

DOH.

He thinks there were only 91 tickets sold.

FFS What about all the seconds , der.

===============================================

Classic. (Contender).

Please don’t post the game score on line until I’ve watched the video of the game.

I knew the poster was a plonker but PLEEEASE.

===============================================

Doh.

This is the standard of the new (?) posters on the Piss Poor Forum.

Takes every opportunity to tell you he was working on some MM Radio Channel , can’t even find a feckin ground ! Even with a brand spanking new AZ

”April  25 1992 – Eastwood Hanley 1 Ashton United 0 – Bass North West Counties League’Division 1”
My 1st and only visit to Trentmill Road
My 1st ever visit to the Stoke area and I got the train then a bus. I had a specially (His words) purchased A to Z as you had to do in those days to find anywhere. But my attempt to find the ground wasn’t successful at first and I did not get to the ground until Half Time.

==============================================

Amazing.

I will post details of funeral when known if wife wishes them to be made public.

Response, I want to know anyway.

Talk about f cking insensitive.

EDIT. Even send a private message and get NO FUCKING RESPONSE ,  ungrateful inconsiderate insensitive wanker.

===============================================

Moron.

Feckin moron who on an obituary column asks who else is dead from a team the deceased played for.

Moron.

===============================================

Pricks.

Pricks that go on and on about needing this or that to complete this or fucking that, boring. Yawn , yawn.

Makes me comment to keep them in their place.(Tutting thingy).

eg = ”The only reason for my attendance was that it re-completed the Leicester & District League again.”.

Brilliant , want a medal ?

===============================================

Contender,  Dec 28, 2019.

This is what makes hobby Micky Mouse.

2 ticks , 1 and a half games. PATHETIC.

Late Jersey arrival scuppered our plans somewhat. Only managed the first half but as we had travelled so far made sure we got two grounds in.

Wankers.
Combined Counties Div One
Farnham Town 0 Jersey Bulls 2

Sydenhams Wessex League Premier Div
Fleet Town 1 Horndean 1

===============================================

 Boring.

”It may be a weekend of four games in three countries”. Yawn.

( It WAS 5 in 3 last weekend, Nov 30). Do I go on about it FFS.

===============================================

Medal award.

 ‘Into single figures on my unvisited NIFL venues now.”

===============================================

Big head.

”July 1, 2019 to June 30,2020 = 95 / 81 / 14 / inc 4 x 0-0’s. (You know my rules) @ 30 / 10 / 2019.
2019/20. Benelux = Bel = 0-0-0-(I(MUI-I)-0-0)-(0-2-1-1)/ Lux = 0-2 / Neth = 0-0-0-(1 – 2) Others France = 0-0 / Germany =0-0-0 / Italy =0-1(Act 2- Frosinone new)./ Iberia = P = 0-0 & S = 0-0.”

==============================================

So stuck up his own arse.

At least this person gives the score nowadays – ”Easingwold Town 2-2 Thorpe United
York FL – Premier Division
Att.25hc
https://100groundsclub.blogspot.com/…1/706-bull-hill.html

Only ever read one of his posts when he completed the 92 , he made sure Brighton new about him doing it  , piece in the programme, mentioned on tannoy  , bought his souvenirs and then the prick left the game early to catch a train , what a feckin knob !!

Def Spew Bag contender.

=========================================

Can’t tell some people and it’s pointless knocking.

Some idiot from Bournemouth telling us all where he’s going egg chasing ( his childish words ) on a football ( round ball ) where are you going thread.

Egg chasing has it’s own thread.

PERIIIIICK.

Give me feckin strength. WRONG GAME.

=========================================

Who gives a feck.

 ”A hat trick of bracketed ticks with Marlow Utd v Long Crendon in Hellenic Div 1 East ”.

Yawn. FFS.

=========================================

Wow.

 ”Yet another Saturday mystery tour.
Ian J and I thought we were going to Route One Rovers at Dixon Academy in Bradford, as the Morley Town secretary had confirmed the game was on at a 3g.There is indeed a 3g there, but it seems that Route One may now be playing at Zara academy.
We did not know this as the two teams came out for a game on the grass pitch, it turned out to be
Fairbank U 3 Lepton Highlanders 4
Yorkshire Amateur League.

ANOTHER CONTENDER FOR THE SPEW BAG.

===========================================

Feckin hilarious.

Someone has just filled this in to tell us their not filling it in.

”This signature has been intentionally left blank.”

==========================================

Thanks for telling me , TWICE.

On same site as above , at one time a favourite site , nowadays  piss poor.

‘I’ve sent you a private message’ , posted on line. If he’s on line, he will have received it , DOH.

===========================================

Perks.

Posts going missing that moderators don’t like on what used to be a popular Non League Forum.

It’s now full of I’m , I’ve, I , PLUS the majority have never heard of a search engine.

Gone to a new ( poorer) format , many old posters haven’t bothered migrating across yet ?

=========================================

Jumpers for goalposts.

What the feck , what on earth do people watch ?

Get a life.

The visitors, 2nd in the table, took an early lead and with the strong wind behind them, expected them to add more against the hosts, who were 2nd bottom and started with 10 men, but it wasn’t until just before half time that JPM scored their second goal. The visitors still had more of the play early in the second half but found the going more difficult with the wind against them and the hosts broke away and pulled a goal back on the hour and a few minutes later equalised with the goal of the game, a strike from a tight angle into the roof of the net from the left hand side. It wasn’t long after that the visitors restored their lead and then soon after a couple of home players hobbled off injured and they suddenly found themselves down to 8 men and when the visitors scored a fourth goal the home linesman was encouraging his players to walk off so the referee would have to abandon the game, one player did just that after the fifth goal went in, and when the visiting #10 completed his hat trick another walked off reducing the hosts to 6 and the referee, who I think was a stand in as he was dressed in civilian clothes, had no choice but to blow the final whistle.

==============================================

What a knob.

This is one from the ”I AM BRIGADE”.

Feckin embarrassing from someone at Spurs who watches kiddies football.

‘The 92’ had never entered my head at that stage. It was only the eleventh different ground I had seen a match on, whilst tonight was a rather quirky number, as this was ground visit number 3,333 in England (5,368 worldwide).

Such low totals ! (especially as he counts Reserves / friendlies AND kiddie winkies.)

===========================================

Bigger knob (?).

Bad info from one who is usually factual but is first to slag off other peoples errors. Same ‘I AM’ poster as post 15.

”Tottenham have this season (2019/20) moved into their new 62,062 capacity stadium, having played at Wembley Stadium in the interim, since leaving their ‘White Hart Lane’ stadium in May 2017.

Funny that I went last season (18/19) !!

=======================================

Plenty more of self opinionated , big headed , childish , moronic shite to come.

New NISA  league opens on Aug 31, 2019 in Oakland.

The National Independent Soccer Association began its new 8 club 3rd tier Soccer league with a game in Oakland with the Roots drawing 3-3 against California Strikers at Laney College.

Now this league stands allegedly at the same level as the USL Div 1.

Team	Location	Stadium	Capacity
East Coast
Atlanta SC	Alpharetta, Georgia	St. Francis High School / Lupo Field at Life University	— —
Miami FC	Miami, Florida	Buccaneer Field / Riccardo Silva Stadium	1,500 23,500
Philadelphia Fury[a]	Philadelphia, Pennsylvania	Franklin Field	52,958
Stumptown Athletic	Matthews, North Carolina	OrthoCarolina Sportsplex Sportsplex at Matthews	5,000
West Coast
California United Strikers FC	Irvine, California	Championship Stadium	5,000
Los Angeles Force	Whittier, California	Rio Hondo College	1,000
Oakland Roots SC	Oakland, California	Laney College	2,700
San Diego 1904 FC	San Diego, California	SDCCU Stadium	70,561

The league season  is split into a Fall ( NISA Showcase) and a Spring portion. It is alleged that new teams will join the Spring season !

The fall season has already run into problems with the league suspending Philadelphia Fury after only one game , an 8-1 loss in Miami.

Story about Philly – https://nisaofficial.com/news/2019/09/18/philadelphia-fury-to-refrain-from-play-for-balance-of-nisa-showcase

Just what is the attraction for those groundhoppers who tick grounds for friendlies , they cream themselves when they see the likes of Bull & Bladder Sunday Reserves FC are playing ‘Gets on my Wick FC’ at Giles Field pitch 17 on Sunday morning at 10-00 , this will enable a double when they’ve negotiated with other local pub sides.

If there is a programme being issued then that would add at least another 20 paper cuddlers.

Crunchers will watch owt, anything / anywhere / any rules I choose ( that suit themselves of course )  just for a tick , sounded like a ‘Who’ track for a moment.

Oh , how it makes me smile when these people write about their hobby and say things like they went back to so and so because they only did it for a PSF / Reserve / Yoof etc game , WHY go in the first place ?  Then they go on the defensive by saying things like ”Those who care about what other people count as a tick will be relieved to learn that I subsequently returned for a first team game”.

What pleasure / satisfaction is achieved watching 2 x 30 / 40 min games / etc  , Club XI’s or as penned by Miss Pitstop Club XXII’S, Tournaments that have their own rules including finishing games early if referee feels like it. Games kicking off early / late , one cruncher fortunately was early enough to be at a game that was 45 mins early kicking off.

A few snippets from so many – Tuesday July 16th in the Frimley Green v Met Police PSF the teams kicked in the same direction in both halves.

My favourite though for this season was the Coggleshall v Ipswich U23 game on Sat July 13th where the teams informed the referee when he turned up that they would like to play 3 x 30 mins , referee said no to this saying it’s more than his jobsworth ( Freudian slip there). So the teams decided to play 2 x 30 mins with the official ref and then another 30 with a club referee . FFS . Two games in records then guys  ?

One punter had a choice of 2 such MM games , so how did he choose which to watch , was it quality of teams , NO he decided that because the tea bar was open at only one he would go there !!

27/07. Wyrley v Coven , ref finished it early it was getting a bit rough.

One hopper when writing up his match reports uses words to cover up it being a PSF such as  cracking game, highly competitive, enjoyable game, good company , definitely worth a watch, really enjoyed, a watchable contest and then if really struggling some nice trees.

There was a prestigious PSF  on August 3rd with a rare opportunity to visit Peel Croft , Burton , at 12-00 it is Netherseal St Peter v Garth Vader (Groundhop UK’s adopted Sunday League side). Edit – it was changed but Garth are still about playing to the unwashed.

A programme is available so I  imagine some very sad people will watch that and follow it up with another tick elsewhere.

I’m so glad I don’t do Micky Mouse friendlies , so glad that I never need more than one hop game of grounds I want to visit  ( 3 of such coming up in Beds however  , all in lower divs FFS, ) so glad I don’t do childrens , schoolies , yoofs , reserves , womens . It’s such a relief I don’t have to meet up with these people.

To finish off (nearly) , the amount of people I know / have heard of that are going to the ‘International Champions Cup’ game at Tottenham versus Inter Milan this coming Sunday Aug 4th is staggering.

People are happy to spend good money on a meaningless friendly in what I am sure will be a light hearted kick about. All this just to get their tick of a ground , some citing to top up their ’92’.  Surely this game is not counted in the eyes of the original rules of the ’92’ club. It really does show how far this hobby has sunk and the amount of people with no ethics has grown. Really is pathetic. All in my opinion of course , sure some / most of you reading this will disagree with me.

There are far too many groundhoppers that have no real interest in the football , it’s all tick, tick , tick. So many who know how long it’s been since their last 0-0 , so many who don’t show up if there is no programme , so many who know their GPG to the 11th decimal place , so many who don’t stop talking , telling all and sundry where they’ve been / going etc , so many who say they don’t watch Sunday football ( but will happily watch Sunday teams in Charity Cups) , so many who will tell all where they’ve been drinking before a game and where their going afterwards for a drink (Drivers as well).,

So many parasites who glean a fountain of knowledge off the many websites dedicated to the hobby without giving anything back ,  disillusioned , YES I am but it wont stop me watching FIRST TEAM MALE OPEN AGED COMPETITIVE FOOTBALL at all levels.
