I don’t actually mind talking npl or even reading their opinions on football. But every thread lately has just been overtaken and just ends with the same points.

stop grinding your axe with us

Well without the npl posts the forum seems a bit dead doesn't it

Just defending my club and fighting against the ridiculous racist notions of some on here mate. No axe grinding going on... just having a laugh.

ALsnob

Never 

It’s an Australian Football forum though, not just for NT and AL supporters...

Maybe I should find an a league forum then

For those keen to establish a genuine football pyramid, the existence NPL supporters is a good sign - as long as we are wanting to populate the NSD with real clubs.
But if you're keen to populate the NSD with more plastic franchises....

This is why I am always sceptical of the so-called "unity" ticket.

In the Australian context, the catchcry of unity is basically a call for everyone to get behind the closed shop concept.

A genuine football pyramid is actually at the polar extreme of this sort of "unity".

LOL........what a load of crock!

I joined this forum during last ACup in 2019. I have learnt a shit tonne in last 2 years about ALL aspects of Australian Football since then due to 99% of members having diversified input and perspectives on our beloved game. We are ALL on here for the same basic reasons. We LOVE Australian Football with a passion in some way... 👍

Nope, this about your OCD.  Because the amount of time you spend on these forums indicates a problem.

I agree but I don’t like seeing the amount of threads getting derailed 

Yeah Righto SM Pete

Firstly well said Balin.
Its about being inclusive and we're all for the love of the game.
MCG, the game needs both sides of the leagues period.
The derailing comes from both sides as well, no need to get picky and flustered.
Just post to get it back on track and it will find its way.

Fair enough nothing against anyone personally 

Buggalugs and monoethnic are probably the same person.

Its fine to have passion but also we dont need people derailing threads too, this is where the mods come into play.

See this type of discussion of calling aleague fans plastic as opposed to the NPL fans 'real' clubs or whatever that is doesnt create a positive message.

We need all football fans on the same page but if you want to call out aleague fans like that you are sending the right message out here...

Aha let's be honest, you are talking about 1 poster here really (and he loves it).

The other NPL team fans (inc other SM fans) are fine and actually engage in the discussions with constructive criticism and don't just comment on every single thread solely to kill the discussion.

I mean, now Buggalugs is bored and back too which is always fun.

If they join forces look out world!!!

As I written in another thread, unfortunately there are some people on here who a very bitter that there NPL side did not get into the A/L, these some people are the ones calling it plastics etc.

I thought this was a professional website covering pro leagues? thought NPL was still amateur?

The more football fans/threads/conversations in here the better.

Long time lurker on this forum but it has become unreadable, find myself skipping past the same posters posting the same stuff in every thread

Have started going onto r/aleague which seems to be a lot more active and seems to have better discussion

Thanx for the advise, just joined.

Well said BT. I agree with you. Never hurts to get another perspective or opinion on things... even if you really dont like the message... that supposed to be the purpose of this forum or am I mistaken?
MCG I guess you mean me when you worry about the NPL ethnic hoards invading this forum, but in reverse shouldn't the worry be that Aleague related threads get 5-10 comments max?... Surely I cant be responsible for every Aleague failure?

I think your constant attempts at a personal attack signify it is YOU that has the problem buddy.

You've made 39 contributions to this forum and the 40th is to call me Pete? hahahahaha OK bud not my name but, whatever makes you hard.

And we both have a picture of Graham Arnold, Sydney Croatia's favourite son over our beds..... 

How about I stop calling Aleague "franchises" plastic? Will that help with everyone's feelings? 
Its OK, you can all still call the ex NSL clubs ethnic and bitter and monocultural and foreign and non-inclusive, tin pot, pumpkin seed eating (have I left anything out?) all you want... I couldn't care less.

C'mon Davey boy, I thought you liked me? Aha :)
