Should ILX Have an "I Love Football" Board?

ile really isn't even clogged up w/ soccer thread either... it's like, what, four threads?

im not one of those complaining it clogs up ile btw.

I've got 16 football-related threads bookmarked at the moment. I suspect having a sub-board would mean more rather than keeping them most discussion in the rolling threads.

Funny how no one ever complains about there being too many film threads on ILE.

Still think we need a 'hide thread' option but that's a different thing.

im not complaining! I just liked the idea of a board of our own, thats all.

Still think we need a 'hide thread' option but that's a different thing.

if every thread was given a category like in the old days, that could be done i guess?

should there be an I love Football?

Good luck finding someone to categorise every old thread!

My biggest fear would be that ILF would ghettoise football talk a bit and there would be reduced participation leading to every thread turning into stale banter between the same four or five people.

which is what you complain about on the football thread anyway tbf!

stale banter between the same four or five people.

Just like the SPL thread then. We've made a successful model of this for about five or six years now.

think the football peeps should take it to iltmi

cosign, thirded, whatever.

If part of it is "I want to start more esoteric threads about football, but I don't want to clog the board up with 20 football threads a day" then you're basically no better than a politically correct local council refusing to put up Christmas trees in case it offends Muslims.

We could probably use an "I love polls" before "I love football"

tend to think not, just about

however if there is one, it has to be called i love football (and i'm probably one of the very few who read ~football~ threads and ilnfl)

think that everyone needs to concede that yr own personal belief in 'i love football' or otherwise doesn't in any way change the fact that it should exist i have read a book on this btw

can we have an i love conjuring animal spirits board

only if it's called 'i love soccer'

deal

thread of 'random football formations' is proof that general shit-shooting footy threads can exist happily on ILE, fwiw- even though I support separate board.

xp there can be no mention of the 's' word

i'd go for 'i love footie'

i love footsies

I Love (Real) Football

no this is a good thing - by ghettoizing the topic you draw the real heads in and provide a disincentive for people who don't know what they're talking about - this leads to better discussion and way better/funnier threads

it would obviously have to be called i love soccer, that's a given

I Love Foosball

I also think that the football player ROBIN VAN PERSIE is massively overrated and annoying.

xp

start a thread

He's not even worth a thread

but yr feelings about him are, surely!

Should be "I Love Futbol" Imho.

i'd go for 'i love footie'

This must never happen

"football" is nowhere near as popular globally as cricket or australian rules football, guys

in a worldleague where torres and rooney exist i say gtfo.

voted 'i only click sna or use my bookmarks anyway and don't get caught up in this outdated system'.

that said i've been thinking of turning the church into my own one stop religious wengerball palace

can i just say as a keen cyclist i was originally on the fence about iltrmb but it has brought me nothing but unalloyed joy and gratification.

as for ilg, its benefits and delights are without measure.

my sarcasm meter is just flying wildly from one extreme to the other, tbh

Ah, stop buttering me up. Seriously though, what does it entail? I still kid myself that I'm here in a part-time capacity.

Darragh said he'd do it at some point yesterday I think.
