Might work. Would struggle to stop the more frequent posters though.

I don't meant to be overthinking the issue, I was only trying to see how things might work in actuality.

I get what you are saying in regards to myself, and perhaps I should post less, however if I see a post that I feel that I can contribute successfully towards, that is generally what I do.
I do not whatsoever set out to rile people up, or anything along that road, I genuinely just wish to have a good time, talking about the topics of the day with other people.

However if I need to cut down then fair enough I will try and do so, as all that I would like to see is a thriving forum, with as many people posting as possible.

Some people just aren't very self aware and have an inability to keep anything in. It is almost like forum Tourettes but without the swearing.

Sure, I know about that.

Very good way of putting it. Sums it up perfectly.

Sorry, I should've included that. It was the Leicester match. The red card was debatable but looked right, the penalty was blatant.

Most of the criticism, bizarrely seemed to be that he didn't make the same mistake that he made in midweek. I'm not sure if that gives us consistency or inconsistency?

People don't want that anyway. Watch if the referee gives a yellow card after 5 minutes inthe Merseyside Derby tomorrow. That will be wrong, too early, setting a precedent etc. So the arrangement of numbers on a stadium clock should decide when it is a yellow card.

Also, from my experience with that system, it hides posts in the same was the ignore function here does. It'll say there's a post, but it's below a threshold or has too many downvotes, with an option to expand it.

One thing that would help is if people weren't able to post so many times in a row on one thread. If you make a post in this topic, you shouldn't just be able to make another post, replying to someone else, straight away. Either it has to be after too much time has passed for you to edit your previous post, if it's the last post on the topic, or after someone else makes a post. If it encourages some of the most frequent posters to use multiquote and edit their post when they feel the need to convert every single thought (and inability to think) to a post.

Can someone PM/DM me where everyone else has gone please... I will make only positive contributions! It's dead around here

This Merseyside derby has been god awful so far. Neither team seems to have any ability or desire to get their foot on the ball and hold possession.

Yet again we have a so called "big" game which is actually a snoozefest. The curse of the dreary Monday night game.

The curse of the Sky match slogan, more like.

I reckon 1 goal wins this.

That's a red, or at least it should be.

Dirty dirty tackle from Ross Barkley that should have been an end to his dreadful night. Am I the only one who thinks he's a bit shite?

dirty tackle from Barkley , the pushing and shoving after it has been the highlight so far

This game is dreadful so far , and unless there are a flurry of goals it doesnt look like it will pick up

Barkley is one of those players who's going to be described as 'having great potential' until the age of about 29.

Liverpool look like they've sneaked a winner

Well that is what the top teams do ...

lol true ,, like Walcott

Mane, what a bargain at £34 million.

Liverpool will miss him in January when he goes off on the African Cup thingy.

Second matchday running that Arsenal have lost and all their top of the table rivals have won.

I never thought I would live to see the day that Everton, in this Derby on level terms, would play for time with half hour to go.

Their record in this fixture is appalling. Is there a more one sided derby in terms of results where they're in the same league every season?
