  4. What does EFC mean to you?

    in General Everton Discussion

    Posted

    Pax, (and Hafnia) ..........

     

    Tomorrow is a new day. If you can both get through it without fighting, it will be a good day for everybody.

     

    Pre-season is very frustrating for fans, and arguments blow up easily. The season starts in a few days and we all have plenty to look forward to.

     

    Try not to keep quoting each other with little digs, even if they're meant in humour, and soon it will all blow over. We've all had arguments on forums, but once you stand out as a member amongst hundreds, it's a good sign things have gone too far.

     

    There's not many mods who will let you have a go at them too often without banning you, so that says a lot about the mods here. They can't be all that bad. Heck, they let me post here. wink.png

     

    Stop now, and when the season kicks off, nobody will even remember (or care) . smile.png

    Wow, no fighting in this thread. At last.

     

    Am I the only one who looked at todays goals and wondered if one or two weren't scripted?

     

    Utd Defender pulls out of tackle just before City player hits one from a million yards out, only to beat a world class keeper less than a yard from keepers position?

     

    Winning UTD goal comes from 2 City defenders, one of whom walks away from the ball, being unable to deal with a clearance?

     

    All too weird.

     

    Highlights:

  11. What do we need?

    in General Everton Discussion

    Direct, pacy winger - the sad thing is that I'm sure there was a thread like this last season and I posted the same and even worse the season before that and the same was posted once again.

     

    It's been plainly obvious for at least 3 seasons that we've lacked pace out wide and for whatever reason we've not been able to do anything about it - we had our chance and we signed Bilyaletdinov.

     

    I believe we will sign a pacy winger on-loan again but this will be in Jan and will only be for 3 months - don't get me wrong I can't wait for his return but we need someone now!!!

     

    If we have pacy wingers, will our attacking options keep up with them?

     

    If (player X) breaks out of defence with the ball, how many players would be with him by the time he was ready to cross?

     

    My guess is only Beckford, as our team are quite slow on the break. I think wingers would be great, but we need pace in the middle to compliment I think.

  13. Applying the Rules

    Pax, that's something you need to discuss in private with the admin, the mod in question, and maybe even Hafnia to all find a resolution. Airing it in public only makes things worse mate, trust me. I've been there so know from experience.

     

    The important thing is that it doesn't become a regular occurance, and if it was me, I'd now look at using the opportunity to settle your differences with Hafnia, and move on.

     

    It's natural that one member might get a leaner sentence, if the judge just happens to be his mate, but you don't know whether they spoke in private or not, nor even if they are mates. We're all Evertonians, so in that respect, we're all mates. If the rules were applied evenly, as you wish for, then surely you would both be banned and resigned to posting on another forum by now. Noone wants that do they?

     

    The fact that you're both still here shows more leniancy on part of the mods as opposed to hypocricy. You're both still here, and both got a few things off your chest. Best just to move on from it now and put it down to experience. smile.png

  14. Pedro Leon

    SPAIN/ REAL MADRID, Pedro Leon towards Getafe

     

    26 Jul| Redazione TMW | read 718

     

    According to the French newspaper L'Equipe, the Spanish midfielder of Real Madrid, Pedro Leon, will move soon to Getafe. He will sign an annual deal with a wage about 2 million euros

     

     

     

    Real Madrid midfielder Pedro Leon has turned down the opportunity to join LFC.

    The Spaniard endured a tough first season at Real Madrid with very few first team opportunities having joined the club as one of the country’s top prospects.

     

    It has been reported in Spanish paper Marca that LFC wanted Pedro Leon but he wants to stay and prove himself at Real Madrid.

    The report also claimed that LFC made 3 Million Euros a year offer to Leon which he rejected.

    Pax, I don't know what's gone on, but what I do know is that some of the comments made in the 'Do you want a City style takeover' thread made me wonder what I'd come back to.

     

    I've had my fair share of warnings and bans over the years, and having owned forums, I've had to hand them out too, but what I've learned is that no matter how right I thought I was, the minute I broke the rules, I was wrong.

     

    http://www.toffeetalk.com/index.php/topic/2839-attn-all-members-new-old/

     

    It's much easier to just offer an opinion, rather than enforce it, and accept that other opinions will be different. If you don't get on with someone, take it on the chin and try not to let it ruin the experience for others.

     

    If you put someone on ignore, just do it, as opposed to declaring it.

     

    I've made all the mistakes there are to make mate, and I've paid for them plenty, but no matter how much you think the admins are wrong, the first port of call should be to address your own actions, otherwise it would be a little hypocritical.

     

    First and foremost, 'you' were wrong mate, by retaliating the way you did. This isn't just my opinion, but also clearly defined in the rules, of which you want the admins to apply.

     

    I hope it all blows over and you both shake hands so to speak.

    There is definitely a difference between using Chrome and using Internet Explorer.

     

    One thing some of you might want to try is to press the compatability option at the top of your page, which is useful if you have a new browser on an older website. It's the thing that looks like a torn piece of paper at the top of your screen, or you can get to it by pressing tools, top right of your screen.

     

    On explorer, I notice the following:

     

    Starting from the shortcut is often slow.

    Pressing links freezes the site and it takes a long time for the link to work.

    Normal right click copy and paste options don't work when creating a post.

    Deleting or rather editing is very slow.

    I often have to repost, as it just says 'saving' if I have spent a few minutes.

     

     

    Using Chrome, the copy and paste is ok. My explorer is the newset one that I'm aware of, so there could be a few compatability issues.

     

    I've not tested the other things yet in Chrome.

  20. Tim cahill pl's mvp according to swedish newspaper

    doesn't have a big enough impact? he scores goals..wins tackles..hustles people..half the time when people can't be arsed there is only tim who seems to give a shit..more important most the time than having ability as a footballer..arteta is there to be pretty

     

    I think where Tim is concerned, there are always differences in opinion. He's a very popular player. I'll have to agree to disagree on this one.

     

    In a blood and guts game he'd be on my sheet, but if we ever want to play great football, he wouldn't be in my team.

     

    Arteta owes us a good season.

  21. Pre-Season: Villareal (Home)

    in Match Days

    Posted

    There were glimpses to note, but a week before the new season we still look like we don't know what we are doing.

     

    Villarael are good, but their strikeforce was poor today, which saved us a little.

     

    The midfield had some useful players in it, but I'd rather stick with Beckford up front, as he can keep up with the pace. We're better with Osman than without I feel.
