Right, so as we had a ball thread already as you've just stated, you instead decided to go back to a year-old thread and post in there? Considering the ball-related comments are in there don't you find it a tad odd that rather than just doing what everyone else on this forum does you took it upon yourself to be different and search for an old thread that nobody has read for a year just to state your ball was egged? Common sense? Please?
And as you are new here perhaps it would be an idea to familiarise yourself with the rules and also consider how you've instantly made it obvious you think it's ok to ignore what regulars do and just go on and do your own thing?
Do me a favor. Please.
Search for Calle on this forum and if you can find another thread that would have been better suited for my posting, please have my post moved there. I found two. At least the thread I posted to mentioned the brand.
I found the thread that mentioned what I was going to post about, searched the archives for the information I needed BEFORE I posted and then decided to post my question here.
If you have nothing to add to this thread except attitude towards me, and criticism of my post, then you are taking this a bit too seriously don't you think? Did it really bother you THAT much that I posted to this thread? Seriously?
Also, can you add nothing to this year old thread except telling me to get some common sense? At least I followed up my post with useful information.
What is YOUR experience with Calle balls?

Sigh. I will explain this slowly so you understand.
You are talking about a BALL.
We have a BALL THREAD so that all the information about balls of various brands, whether they be complimentary or problematic, are in the same place so that people can search the thread, for a brand, and find the information they require.
YOU on the other hand have taken it upon yourself to post in this thread. Which now means that because of your lack of common sense, if somebody wants to find your post about the ball, they need to search in two places rather than one - the forum to find this thread, and the ball thread.
Therefore, by apparently trying to save time posting in here, for those who need the information you are wasting their time because you posted in the wrong place.
Therefore, having seen the ball thread with details of various brands, and going on to search the forum and find a year old thread that nobody has read...it perplexes me. It displays a lack of common sense. Most people would say "hmmm, everyone recently has posted in this thread about balls, why don't I do the same?" Obviously you do not work like this and considering I am in the middle of sorting Arsenal tickets out for Americans who are coming for the game tomorrow, you have now wasted MY time having to reply to you, for the second time, having to elongate my description for you to understand because obviously the first time it was too complicated for you to read.
Your first post was not even useful information. "My ball egged". Whoop. And to respond to this:
If you have nothing to add to this thread except attitude towards me, and criticism of my post, then you are taking this a bit too seriously don't you think? Did it really bother you THAT much that I posted to this thread? Seriously?
The members of this forum made the RULES for a reason, so that myself and others don't have to have a go at people like you coming here and having a blatant disregard for rules that the regulars created to save them time.
These posts are now going to be moved to the appropriate place. If you don't like it, or are just going to show a flagrant disregard for the rules, don't bother posting again.

Thank you for moving my thread to the "appropriate place".
You are a rude little man and very quick to go off the handle especially to a "new guy" who thought he was doing the right thing.
Next time, instead of instant sarcasm, try explaining the WHY behind your anger and you wont have to waste anymore time from your busy evening.
You failed to mention that I followed my post up with actual information from the company in question which someone could have used, or were you just too busy counting your little tickets out to notice that?

Just let it go now gentlemen.
The whole point bigg is like that is because before him and JC tooK over modding the board. New posters were coming on and starting a new thread for everything even though people had already discussed it in great depth. It was just a tad annoying for people who post here on a regular basis. So we all decided to divise some rules to stop it from happening and cluttering up the board.
Its been delt with now so just let it go or continue the matter in private. Both threads you posted in are still open so it can be discussed in either thread.
I'm always willing to welcome new members everyone is welcome to post here and give their input, but i really think you should just leave it there now and carry on with contributing the board if you wish to do so.

No problem "mate"
You are a rude little man and very quick to go off the handle especially to a "new guy" who thought he was doing the right thing.
If you had read the rules you would have known you weren't. And I'm 6"2, I hardly think "little man" is an appropriate description. I'll give you "rude" though, just so you have something to make you smile before you go to sleep at night.
Next time, instead of instant sarcasm, try explaining the WHY behind your anger and you wont have to waste anymore time from your busy evening.
I did. TWICE.
You failed to mention that I followed my post up with actual information from the company in question which someone could have used, or were you just too busy counting your little tickets out to notice that?
Erm...the people who run that company know one of the mods, so if we wanted information about them we'd get it from the source, as opposed from a pratt who's just intent on starting arguments he can never win.
You're boring me now. Any more of your posts that are out of line will be deleted because frankly the crap you're spewing is a waste of server space. I think Apu is feeling the same way I am.

This is gonna be the official matchball for the tournament. I think it looks amazing, I just hope it'll be readily available worldwide. Not like the A-League matchball, that I've wanted for over a year and a half now.

That ball will look like a hot mess spinning. Way too much going on, or maybe Im just too conservative when it comes to balls

I would probably give my left leg for one of those.
Then again, I wouldn't be able to play with one leg, so it wouldn't be worth it.

Well said... I think they should make the purchase of the ball connected to some charity for either anti-racism or just promotion of football in Africa, that would certainly help its availability and it'd be a good cause.

What da hell is this? (meant in a good way)
Did my-favorite-company, Diadora, release a killer-looking premium match ball so quietly nobody knows about the product?
Looks fabulous, except for bone-headed review.

FUME!!!!! :mad:
My lovely teamgeist got malled by a pit bull terrier today. The damage isnt as bad as it could be but the little shit has managed to tear the casing. I was playing on some local football pitches and the owner of the dog said it was my fault for not picking the ball up - whats wrong with her putting the little beast on a lead?!!
Anyhow, does anyone know any website that have them cheap? In the UK if possible. I got this one reduced and its the best ball ive ever used for freestyle. And as tempted i am to pay full price for one, i'd prefer to get a cheaper one obviously.
Thanks!
