    It CERTAINLY isn't for games actually being played on a particular day - there's a separate thread for that!!! <ok>

    Will, as another fan said to me earlier, the way that the referees on VAR duty it are making match defining calls is really worrying and it's destroying football as we know it!!! :emoticon-0121-angry

    Or, my view, VAR itself is ruining our game. Sick to death of hearing about it. How did we manage without it all those years.

    100% agree, but it's the way it's being used and unless something is fine about and sooner rather than later the better. Crouch and Wright were saying exactly the same last night on MotD2. There match referee has to at least go to the monitor AND the fans need to be kept informed.
    That first penalty decision was ridiculous.

    No need to reinvent the wheel here. Let's just copy the egg chasers. Their TMO works well and with refs mic'd up it might encourage players to ease up on language and abuse of referees too.

    I know what I made the thread for. So did everyone else for about 4 years.

    I'd say they were both relevant. Hence why they've not been merged.
    But if a non NCFC game is taking place today surely it makes sense to use the 'Today's games' thread so everyone - including your goodself, doesn't have to trawl around looking for it.
    If a player gets a new, improved contract, or suspinjured, or charged with affray, etc, it's an ongoing situation so belongs on the 'General football' thread?
    I don't see why anyone should have difficulty grasping the difference between the two? :emoticon-0112-wonde

    I think the truth of the matter is that FML started the General Football thread and regards it as a slight when others use a newer, more suitable thread <ok>

    The truth Dave, is I was talking about Football, until I had to respond to your usual whinging about absolutely nothing.

    Really enjoying the French cop thriller 'Spiral' on TV. Great stuff, especially if you understand French or don't mind subtitles.
    Hope I have this on the correct thread, it's a minefield on here sometimes. :emoticon-0107-sweat

    "Don't know if this has been done, but never see it, which I think is strange. A thread for talking about other football matchs. Reason I thought of it, was Brentford 0 Oxford 3 after about 12 minutes. I wanted to mention it, and didn't know where to post it. If there is one, link me and delete this, if there isnt a thread, Maybe we can discuss other games on here?"

    This is FML's original post. A thread entitled "Today's games" (rather than "other games" is unduly restrictive e,g. timewise -- you might want to post about a particular match not being played that day; "General Football Thread" on the other hand, invites posts on a far wider range of issues than FML intended. Maybe we could change the title of "Today's games" to something like "Non-NCFC Matches"?

    To be fair, any City match will have its own match day thread so "Today's games" will cover ANY other match being played on that day. It is simple English language for goodness sake!

    Bit stupid. You can't read or understand the first post of why this thread started in 2015. Instead, you attack people who post on it. Nice Dave. Nice.

    What you keep saying this thread is for, is not restricted by what you have suddenly decided. You didn't make it. So already, you are wrong.

    I started the thread because there was no thread for talking about football news and games that weren't Norwich.

    Just because you have suddenly decided who can post and about what you want on it, and what everyone else is allowed to post on it. Doesn't make you right. Just makes you strange and bitchy for the sake of picking a fight.

    "so "Today's games" will cover ANY other match being played on that day. It is simple English language for goodness sake!"

    All in the first post back in 2015 which you can't seem to read or understand. So that's pretty rich Dave.

    I never brought this up. I'm just having to defend myself talking about football on an football forum.

    I might start a thread "Goals scored within a Norwich match day game". Then you can't talk about goals on the "Match day thread!"! Can you imagine!!? :steam:

    This is how pathetic this forum has become.

    I just wanted to post about football. Everybody's trying so hard not to be negative about the club, some sad acts need to find other stupid things to pick fights about. Pathetic.

    So you think that a more recent and more relevant thread should be ignored because you started a thread FOUR years ago that was about general football facts <doh>

    That doesn't matter, and isn't the reason they are trying to start fights.

    But surely General Football,means anything relating to
    football,and Today's Games means anything about
    Today's games.
