Before we get a poll going later this week, we need to gather some candidates. Here, in no particular order, are a few worthy candidates for overall silliness. The criteria for selection, as everything else on this board, is fluid. You may choose writing style, overall awkward ickiness, jaw dropping stupidity or the use of your favorite font. In short, I don't care. Voting shall commence Sunday the 6th and last a fortnight, for no other reason than I like the word fortnight. http://www.phillysoccerpage.net/2014/10/24/fans-view-a-defense-of-nick-sakiewicz/ Just amazing naivete for backing Sak. http://www.phillysoccerpage.net/2014/11/13/fans-view-a-question-of-faith/ Attempts to tie the American Revolution to backing Jim Curtin. http://www.phillysoccerpage.net/2014/12/17/fans-view-dear-santa/ "My face on Zac MacMath’s jersey", the presumed champ takes an early lead... http://www.phillysoccerpage.net/2015/01/19/fans-view-curtins-call-impresses/ This event pissed me off. Also, the odd use pf paragraphs. Because sometimes they don't signify a new thought. http://www.phillysoccerpage.net/2015/10/02/fans-view-a-surprise-meeting-with-jay-sugarman/ Showing that awkwardness gets you access...and in flight wifi is the bomb.
Of all the people to be obsessed with in the world, its the back up keeper who gets loaned out of a terrible Union team with goalkeeping issues, wants to start in Colorado. Rides said bench in Colorado. Signs to be back up in Colorado? *Starts looking up teaching jobs in Denver*
Any article that uses the word "wee" more than once in a limited 1 page space is not worthy of our votes! Just say no!
M'Bolhi gold. AND it includes a twitter post from the thread starter, so you know, bonus points. http://www.philadelphiaunion.com/po...umor-and-how-it-all-keeps-hype-wheel-churning
I went with the "seasonal end" part of 2014-2015 You get 5 bonus thread points for name dropping the genius who came up with this.
Grandiose stupidity - possibly my favorite. Still hard to argue against the breathless adoration of the Klemmer fiction. Even AfterSak, the club is still falling back on Reading. Coach Local 2.0.
I like to think that somewhere on the Deep Web there is a filthy Zac MacMath "50 Shades of Union" manuscript. And while this isn't exactly fanfiction, I think it touches on its close cousin, cosplay: http://www.philadelphiaunion.com/po...l-family-has-been-hooked-franchises-inception
Since Jim is local he counts as a fan too right? http://www.phillysoccerpage.net/201...onference-with-jim-curtin-and-chris-albright/ "Obviously, at 6′ 5″ he gives you a presence in the backline, he can win things in the air. He reads the game well. When he was younger, he was telling us he actually played as a No. 10, so he has very good feet. He’s comfortable on the ball, can start our attack with his passing ability. So, a lot of qualities that we liked a lot, something to build our backline around. He’s also a known leader; he was captain of Estoril, and that goes a long way for us, getting the guys organized and being a leader in the back. We gave up too many goals last year, so hopefully he can come in and secure the backline and be a strong piece for us for a lot of years moving forward."
The Fan Posts over at TBG aren't as fanboy/girlish but I found this post from July 1 funny because it might actually have been true. http://www.brotherlygame.com/2015/7/1/8876705/andrew-wenger-has-been-cursed-by-a-witch-doctor
This is a brilliant idea but I have an attack of guilt over the snarky comment I made on one of those Klemmer pieces.
I think you're toeing the line here ... are you REALLY bringing attention, and ridicule, to a little kid?
eh, we all make mistakes.... I was an Ayuk doubter early on and didn't buy into the hype at all..... (still probably a little over hyped, but I was totally wrong)
