    There already is one. :confused::confused:

    But I think ALL FF chat should be banned from other threads.

    Opps you can tell how utterly uninterested I am in the FF shi1te.

    Right then if there is a thread STOP FCUKING GOING ON ABOUT IT ON MATCH THREADS.

    Set up a FF sub forum imo. There could be a whole load more than just one thread. Then ban all FF talk from the main forum.

    Will be a bit of of a nightmare for the mods to enforce intially but after a while would all be good

    It's a joke at this stage. I hope United win 11-8 with Fabio and De Gea scoring and making up all each others goals, lawl, ROFl and sure it's probably going to get an ol' thank or two as well.

    Saw one post last week where a lad hoped his team lost for fantasy football purposes. I mean that's shocking stuff in fairness.

    Because nobody actually cares about another person's fantasy football team.

    I don't think another forum is necessary, the FF thread is grand.

    It's kinda annoying to scroll down through loads of 'oh he messed up my FF'

    It doesn't really apply to a match thread does it? Same as people taking about the match in a club thread.

    (Took me ages to figure out FF and then I was seeing it everywhere!)

    I don't remember FF talk being a common thing in match threads last season, but I wasn't here for the first couple of months.

    Is it always like that at the start and eventually dies down or is there a much bigger influx of FF subscribers this season?

    I agree btw, it shouldn't be allowed. No one gives a flying fúck how randomers in match threads are getting on in FF.

    Fantasy football forum would be great. Would be able to have its own individual match threads with a focus on the main fantasy football players instead of the overall game. If WBA are playing stoke I don't really give a **** about the result, all i want to know is how the main FF players are looking. Would be a nice option to read through and see what peoples opinions are.

    Would also be able to have many other threads in relation to individual players and a weekly thread with a captains poll.

    I'm sure it would help reduce FF talk within the Soccer Forum, but I play FF anyway so I'm quite happy to read people's posts in relation to it, but can see why it would get annoying for other people.

    Personally I don't ever talk about fantasy football outside of the dedicated thread but there is plenty of bitching and moaning in the superthreads about ridiculous stuff that this should be well down the list of what people don't want going on in those threads.

    So I say leave it as it is. If you get rid of all the other retarded rubbish out of it then come back here and talk about removing ff chat from superthreads. Just because it doesn't particularly interest you is not a good enough reason to ban it from a thread.

    Aren't we all randomers here? That rational could be applied to any thread.
    What about posting in superthreads of a team you don't support?
    What about posting in a match thread where you support neither team?
    Do the people with an interest give a fiddlers what a randomer thinks?......just sayin':rolleyes:

    Leave as is or you open a can of worms. Ignore posts you have no interest in, or dont get involved in the thread if its annoying you.

    Btw I post in FF thread about FF stuff.

    In fairness lads if there is a Fantasy Football subforum there might as well be a League of Ireland subforum.

    Probably best not to go there,

    I dont think there is a problem with the way things are at the moment, if someone has a problem with a post in a match thread report it and if the moderators think its in the wrong place warnings/yellow cards should teach people very quickly that FF posts in match threads are not on and just keep them to the dedicated FF thread. The question is whether or not mods think this?

    Its fine the way it is imo, people should keep the talk to the thread but if they want to post in match threads let them, be a bit harsh to infract people for posting about a FF team. Let the mods decide :)

    How would you actually stop people mentioning FF in a match thread though, and would they then be banned?

    Seems a bit extreme in my opinion.

    I enjoy Fantasy Football as much as the next lad, but the last time I went over to a United match some of the other fans told me that they were over at a United match where United beat Chelsea and a lad on the bus home sat complaining about the fact that he was disappointed that Drogba didn't score for his FF team, people like that need a good slap :pac:
