You're joking. You've got a nice little establishment but it's only been going a few weeks....

We're talking about football message boards that have made historically massive contributions to Australian football fan culture and fans discussing the game....

Maybe in 5 years when you have 5000 users, 100,000 topics and 5,000,000 posts...

[Vieri]

I’m with the Pasqual.
This forum already has taken the number 1 mantle.

This forum truly does represent the progressive future of association football in this country. We have lost the zealots from the world game forum, removed the trolls from Gippo and Knights, and those right wing cookers from anarchy wouldn’t dare join our inclusive and diverse community!

We got this! We won!

There was a time when The World Game - spearheaded by TWG TV program featuring .... er, what's his name since he hasn't been around for a while ... ... Craig Foster ... their articles allowed reader comments under each article. That was the fun part. Then they cut out reader comments. It was part of the decline.

BTW, why has Craig Foster been absent from the football scene? He ought to have made a bigger impact in Australian football.

That period was long after TWGF and marked the beginning of the end.

The World Game forum was the pinnacle of football forums circa 2006 until its demise

Foster is the senior football analyst on Stan Sports Champions League coverage.

Foster, Bozza with Adam Peacock hosting.

 

[vo2Max]

Agree

I only ever banned one person back in the day. That fat fuck Joffa for his daily spamming. I believe he found his safe space somewhere else

I also did give Les Murray a few warnings for using derogatory terms like sheilas, wogs and poofters.

 

[Quicky]

It's missing BigSoccer

 

[theFOOTBALLlover]

SoccerPulse was the best football forum for me but it was a global football forum.

What's a "gippo" ? Is that like the vernacular for gypsy?

Yes. Gippo Sports was another offshoot of TWGF after SBS closed it down along with Football Anarchy. The word "Gippo" was probably the most singularly used slang word on TWGF.....

Particularly during the 8 year long Cro ~ Skip Wars which ran from 2001 to 2009.

Hence the name of the then new forum.
