The refined regulars on here must be too busy with water charge related self immolation.

you could apply that to most threads, the entire forum has been hijacked by about four or five users posting the same thing in every thread. I've all but abandoned it.

I've stopped using it. I'm able to pick out a bargain on flights and accomodation, and I can read maps, so I'm sorted. There are quite a few good lads involved, but its success will be it's downfall, because from what I've seen, the proportion of absolute bell-ends is growing.

This is the site for discussing Irish football, and by a country mile.

Yup. I tried years ago to get into the swing of things but the level of discourse is on such a low pegging given what we have here it made little sense.

It's no surprise that all of us regulars here remain here constantly.

I tried to click on that "the". Damn you.

What maddens me about YBIG is that I know about 5 of the regulars there relatively well, and about 3 of them extremely well, one of whom is my son's godfather. They guys I know well are very very smart fellas who don't get dragged into the whole British game thing, they could hold a decent conversation about world football, yet when they get onto that site, they turn into mongos. It's madness.

Also, Bonnie, mwhahahaha!

Lads, this whole ybig.ie thing got me interested in checking it out. First thread I clicked into was about Cyrus Christie. One poster posted the following. I'm still in a state of shock:



I've been looking for what the exact Irish connection is. Anyone know ?

I'm guessing Irish Granny, as if it was a parent it would be much more obvious in the reports (like Jack Grealish with his Irish Father)


One thing I have noticed with all the black lads who have played for us is that all seem to be the product of Irish women (mothers/Grandmothers) and black men. Always found that strange that its rarely the other way around. Irish birds seem to love the black lads http://www.ybig.ie/forum/smileys/smiley36.gif

I was expecting widespread condemnation of that. Instead, I see the response by someone is to replace the last word (lads) with the word "c*ck."

I'm still in shock.

[BonnieShels]

Ad that's why we stay here. Unacceptable.

You mean, you needed a reason to stay here?
That you would have gone,vamoosed, but found out the discussion world grass was not any greener elsewhere?

Of course, but then the Stockholm Syndrome struck and now that's that.

[Stuttgart88]

Stockholm Syndrome.is that when a very good away draw against a good team becomes either a bad result or gets exaggeratedly upgraded to a super result to make a point in someone's imagination?

I would have called that the Stockholm Disease.

Good to see Joe Brolly getting to grips with the internet.

Spinning this discussion out into its own thread

[ArdeeBhoy]

Nothing wrong with a bit of 'both' IMO.

[Junior]

Ardeebhoy swings both ways? errr....$hit...what I have done - wrong MB. whoops. Wheres delete post?

[brendy_éire]

I go on YBIG a bit. The 'away' section is useful to an extent for organising travel, getting tips, etc. It's definitely got worse recently though. Get out the Germany away travel thread. A third of the posts are asking what the craic in the Irish pub will be, another third asking how to get from A to B (never heard of a train website, I assume). You get the odd decent post, but it can be tedious trawling through the crap.
Most of the people on there are clueless, as Kingdom said, YBIG's success is their downfall.

And so you should. You know a few heads from there!
:wink:


Yes, lot of cr*p on there, but given there's only about 20 active posters on this part of foot.ie, we shouldn't get too smug...

[BonnieShels]

Quality over quantity. And Paul counts as at least 5 posters.

[ArdeeBhoy]

5 posters? On here. Surely not...
