So I'm feeling a little ripped off here by the Bigsoccer shop. It cost me 75 bucks to get the new away jersey. Seemed fair enough to me. I was bored so I went on the NUFC official store and was doing kind of a dry-run of what I'm going to buy this summer when all of the stuff is much cheaper. I got the home kit, a flag, a key chain, and the presentation jacket for 80 bucks with the conversion rate. Albeit it will cost an extra 20 to get shipped stateside but that seems like a better deal. 4 items for about 25 bucks more. I know where I'll be ordering from for the rest of my time.
That's why (shh, don't tell) I usually go to onionbag.com or fcbayern.de to buy all my stuff.
I did buy a Bayern t-shirt at the bigsoccershop because I couldn't find it anywhere else (and it was $10). But yeah, all my replica jerseys I usually buy either online somewhere else or at my local soccer shop.
Never bought anywhere from nufc.co.uk though (never actually tried). Maybe next year's new home shirt.

I've bought several things through the club shop that i couldnt find anywhere else. The only reason i dont buy more from them is the shipping cost and conversion rate.
Subside sports is good for hard to find jerseys.

You mean the one with the flavorful language?

Bloody hell! What happened to my rant about the miserable Israeli fans?It's hard to paint any group with such a broad brush but I get frustrated with a lot of the Iranian posters.

Agree the language might have been harsh but I hardly would consider it racist. Do I have to go through and find all of the posts where the Israelis can't stop complaining about different things after games and can't not be offended by the fans of other teams?

I'm not saying what you posted isn't true, but there's no reason you couldn't express your feelings in a more civil manner (as Jaypro did about Iranians).

Agree it was a litte late and I probably should have used better language but I would hope we are all kinda friends here and we could discuss this with each other internally instead of just going out and giving an infraction.
Just a little disappointing is all.

It wasn't an infraction, it was a warning. Infractions lead to cards and forum bans. Warnings don't. So basically, nothing happened.

Then what is the little thing in my profile? Whatever the difference isn't exactly important it was just a litttle disheartening that you guys couldn't just agree to delete it and talk to me instead of filing a formal complaint/warning or whatever.

Well, that wasn't my decision. But I'm sure TD can explain his reasons.

He did and still seems a little wrong to me. Whatever, I'll just fall in line like a good soldier and realize the board has changed. Might have to cut down on my posts here.

I've discussed this with you in PM, so doing so in two channels is hardly appropriate but warranted in this case: Don't break the TOS and there's no issue to be had. It's not that hard. 99% of the time your posts are fine. This one wasn't. If you want to stamp your feet and sulk and go away from this forum because I warned you for an inappropriate post that's your prerogative, but I rather enjoy your contributions most of the time and hope they continue. Just bear in mind what we discussed. Now if we could carry on with a NSR topic other than someone getting a warning, I'd be eternally grateful.

Sure, coaching youth baseball is a stressful thing. I"ve got a 3 hour practice today and it's 85 degrees.

Rubbing in the weather from SoCal is an automatic card henceforth. :D :p
Though I can't complain, it's been in the 60s lately way up here.
