    methinks - Baloney - on multitude o'levels.

    1/ Why did anyone hadta go to UN to solve a Domestic Debacle?

    2/Shurik - you're tre busy - we know, tre funny - we know, tre primadonna - I didn't know.

    3/ Slitty - you better post your forecasts or I'll have to shpiel mit Mosh Gutu.

    4/"G" - vat dis haloimes - PSG mit Russia - I don't give a flying kus 'bout frekakte Ginola's stomping ground - accept de honor unt don't make yerself an 18yr old virgin' by de name of Fira Tsattsakes.

    5/ DKU - if my Daughter would get mein Fatter's humour - I'd have major tsures.

    6/ FM - kin you git a bit funnier - dis National baloney is gittn' tre tuhlyatina, I've seen you do better, make up a rap at least?
    a la

    I picked up me biyaaatch in me Lamborghini
    Stylin' like Stalin in Sergio Tacchini
    She blew me 5 times 'fore the light turned red
    Perdyaevka's ded town - time to go to bed!!!


    in conclusion folk wisdom :


    Ukranian

    "Hlyazhy ya na nibo
    Tay dumku hodayu
    Chomu ya ne sokil
    Chomu ni litayu?


    Chomu mine Bozhe
    Tih kryil'iv ne dav?
    Ya v nibo vzletiv byi
    Tay tut zhe upav!"


    Russian
    "Vot pomru, ya pomru,
    Pohoronyut' minya,
    I nikto ne uznait'
    Gde mogilka moya!"


    Odessit:

    "Hrazhdane poslushaite minya
    Gop so smyikom yeto budu ya!"

    In other words :
    "Komu'zh blyad' na Rusi - zhit' horosho?"

    My official platform, hmm, xxhhhmmmm :
    "I'm for forum unification, yet in order not to pee mit the Western Front, have an effen Ukie subforum (shob on hnil, odnako), unt a Former USSR subforum on which Yasya, DKU unt de rest of antiPetlyurovtsyi are more den welcome. "


    Lastly an inffensive Ukie humor, IMHO, hmm, IMHO :

    XXV congress of CPSU (KPSS) - on agricultural innovations is pontifacting delegat fin Kharkiv :

    " Dorohie tovarishchi - 5 let nazad myi zasiili 100 hektariu rzhi, i... usyu poila tlya.
    4 hodyinyi nazad myi posiyali 1,000 hektariu rzhi, i ... usyu poila tlya.
    3 hodyinyi nazad myi posiyali 10,000 hektariu rzhi, i ... usyu poila tlya.
    2 hodyinyi nazad myi posiyali 20,000 hektariu rzhi, i ... usyu poila tlya.
    Hodyinu nazad myi posiyali 30,000 hektariu rzhi, i ... usyu poila tlya."

    Vopros fin zal :
    "Tak chto zhe vyi seychas delaete, tovarishch Nesrako?"

    "Myi siim 100,000 hektariu rzhi"


    Vopros fin tovarishch Brezhnev :

    "Kakogo huya, odnako, Tovarishch Nesrako?"


    "Dyik, nehay podavyit'sya, kurva okayannaya".


    Cheerio.

    Zenit, I can say from experience, that we CAN, in fact, ignore other users (not other mods), but that we're not supposed to.

    Hasn't stopped me, to be honest. Though I don't ignore people in the fora I mod.

    OK if anything, and worse comes to worst we can have Torp replace Shurik. But regardless, metros is a perfect example why the khokhli have a bad rep. Have you guys seen brat dva? I used to think he was joking when he was slaughtering the Ukrainian mafia, but metros has proved me wrong. This is for sevastople

    After Brat 1 - viewing of Brat 2 or any other Russian movie from last 10 years became unfathomable for me.

    Geez FM - where's the humour.
    You're so effen Amerikanized - Z is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more Russian than you, not to speak of Yasik or "g" who's for real is like French_Armenian_English; Zhan Tatlyan part Deux.

    Shurik is tre irreplaceable, but somehwat baiteable, let's wait and see.

    Let's shut dis srach down, or take it to effen rivalries.

    Guys...please take it to the FSU rivalries thread/sticky...that is why that particular thread is there. I know this kind of back & forth will never go away...but please, try to keep it confined to the appropriate place.

    The whole Shurik/metros11 thing started with the same semi-innocent/harmless banter...please, let's not make it a reoccurring trend & let these boards turn into a translit Cyrillic version of the BS Asian boards.

    Ahhhh. Come on. Yegor Yanovsky would think defiently. And Serguei Semak.

    Oh yeah, I went there. Using crappy French spellings for Russian names.

    You better believe my reign of terror would include editing all of your slavic names in favour of a more romanticised langauge.

    Think a touch of Nicolas Sarkozy with Josef Stalin...

    *mmmmmwahhhhh* formidable! :D

    You must spread some more kinds words about TORPEDO before giving him another rep hit again!

    I vote for TORPEDO as mod.

    Meh. let the Ukie have the plaything...

    It won't cause any harm. Let him. If it gives the board and dabble of Ukrainian authority (heh nice oxymoron - ;)) then so be it. I personally feel, if we are going to have some moderation here, then let the two biggest nationalities be represented with the overseer of a neutral who couldn't give a toss (aka - Zenit)

    My two pence.

    As stated with Zenit my PM - come September time, when I'm paying a ridiculous amount of money just to be educated in this feeble country, I can't say for certain if my posting time will suddenly evaporate over night. Or that I will be in this country and have continued internet-access during my time off..

    I think 3 out of the 5 greatest entries on this website were put here by ganu. I think Torpedo and Shurik had the other 2.


    But yeah, this whole splitting up thing over one isolated argument is stupid. And I think they split the boards up because of special treatment. Metros11 is a mod. Its not Zenits fault, I understand that he isnt the lone person who has say here. But this is so ridiculous. What now? Are we going to change the layout of the Former Soviet Union boards for every little problem?

    Well here is one.

    I am Lithuanian. I do not like Latvia because they are better than us. I do not like Estonia because they are worse than us. I do not like Georgia because they beat us last year. I do not like Russia because they beat us every year. I do not like Ukraine because they are going to the World Cup. I do not like Moldavia because they arent. I dont like Kyrgyzstan because I cant pronounce it and shouldnt have to. I dont like Armenia because it sounds too much like Moldavia. I dont like Belarus because they almost tied Italy. I dont like Kazakhstan because their hockey team sucks. I dont like Turkmenistan because I get it confused with Turkey. I dont like Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, and Tajikistan because they sound the same as all the others.

    Did that accomplish anything by me saying that? No. Did it even really make sense? Probably not. But the thing is is that debate, name calling and "joking with each other" makes these boards go 'round. Thats the thing. I really dont care what anyone says on these boards. So two people cant get by their differences and they end up bitching each other out, and one complains about it. Their actions should not render consequences for the rest of us that go on here specifically to have good, fun conversation with people that have similar backgrounds to us all here to talk about soccer.

    I dont think it says much for the people who run this message board that they have to completely overhaul the layout to make it accomodating for one person. I think that is a double standard, and no better than in the real Soviet Union.

    I came on here originally a few months ago. The first people who talked on here were TORPEDO, ganu, and Shurik; along with a few others here and there. Also a few trolls. I got to learn a great deal on here about soccer, and life over there. You know how I came in here? I introduced myself, then went straight into a debate on how Lithuania is better than all of the other soccer NTs in Eastern Europe. Yes, I debated, I argued with other people. Oh my gosh, the world is going to end. People call each other names during these things. This is called life. Life happens to have this as a disadvantage. I think that we are all mature enough on here to be able to hold our own on these boards. I think that we can handle it.

    Im not gonna boycott posting on these boards, because I have too much fun taking a little out of every day checking here and seeing if someone is saying anything interesting, thought provoking, or absolutely ridiculous. But I do think that the Mods should take everything that I have said in here and really mull it over. There are better ways to do this. The way that its being done now is stupid. Do it right.

    cmblfc,
    are you a lithuanian or a russian/hebrew from lithuania? From my experience of Lithuanians over summers in Druskininkai and Palanga, the Lithuanias are great people who want nothing at all to do with anything Soviet or Former Soviet, so you definitely should lobby for Baltic forums to be moved out of the FSU area :)

    I agree with cmblfc. I want unification of the boards...

    It integrates newbs and makes the entire place a much more welcoming place.

    The split only aggrevates a serious growing problem of hatred.

    The main problem is that the forum is a hub for all the FSU activity on BS. By getting rid of the other nations, we would lose the certain non-footballing rasion d'etre this place has...

    I don't see how a another FSU board can prosper. We hardly got any indepth stuff about Latvia /Estonia / Belarus during the FSU days at the best of times. The traffic wasn't big enough to merit another forum - it was created because of a stupid reaction to a nothing incident.

    And now we are left with this sticky and gooey gun-shot wound, that won't heal unless everyone is willing to forgive and forget...

    I'm personally worried that the community won't recover...and the split will become irreversible.

    How great is Druskeninkai? I was just telling Zenit, since he is going to Lithuania this weekend, how fun it was when i went there.

    Ha! Yea it is indeed great! I went there for a month or two during 4 summers in the early 90s. It's just the most pleasant little town with great lakes, biking through woods, berry picking, stuff like that.

    Zenit -- if you're reading this, bring back pictures of Druskininkai man and post them/mail them to me, I would LOVE to see them, so many great memories :) :) :)

    When were you there Yasik?

    Destoyed in the annals of time...

    I'd love to go to the Baltics. Bah... if only I can get job there or something. God bless the EU! :D

    If Zenit goes to the current Pažaislis Music Festival in Kaunas and if he shows his American passport then I guarentee he will pull a very attractive Lito girl... ;)

    They also had the coolest thing for a kid -- I forgot what it was called, but it was like little 4-wheel cart mobiles you could rent and bike in them around a cool trail at the top of this mountain. It was so much fun.

    They also had awesome awesome chocolate candies... What were they called... Obelele or something... It means "lastochka" ("swallow") i think? It was great :)

    Also there was a movie theatre in the woods on the outskirts of the town, and behind it was a forest, and at the end of the forest path was a cooperative restaurant that served.... PIZZA!!! It only bore a distant resemblance to real pizza, and wasps were swarming menacingly all around us, but we were extremely happy nevertheless.

    Best blueberries in the world, too. Mmm blueberries with smetana and sugar... :)
