Ultimately though, MA and Sith are absolutely right. It’s a Derby County forum which shows little interest in other aspects of football.
To demonstrate...can’t remember how much comment the World Cup attracted, but threads about Pele, George Cohen, Jack Marriott and the appeal of the FA Cup earned just eight (8!) posts between them.
Fact is...if/when there’s little to speak of about DCFC we talk about other topical things i.e. Brexit (8628), Johnson’s demise (658), Carelessness of the Tories (304), and Cricket (159).
In comparison our match performances only usually generate between 15 and 40 replies depending on performance.
I rest my case.

Hmmmm, Brexit thread just over 8500 posts in around 6.5 years. That's maybe 340 weeks or 25 posts a week.

Match performance thread therefore about the same as the have a life expectancy of a week before the next one comes along.

So about the same popularity. 25 per week or 15-40 per week

I rest my case.....n

Apologies...those four football but non DCFC threads totalled 17 (not 8) posts but the point remains. This is a Derby County forum more than a football forum.

On the subject of ‘stickies’, I’ve never really understood the need or the purpose.

P.S. The World Cup generated 79 posts in over a month but was described as O/T by its originator.

Well if you do your case isn’t very good...because what you’re acknowledging is that debating Brexit appears to be at least as popular as the DCFC threads and has remained so over 6.5 years rather than the life expectancy of a DCFC thread which may usually be measured in days.

P.S. The example of ‘rear gunnery’ you spoke of on page one was no such thing. I was simply trying to diffuse a ‘situation’ and make OTR feel better as he appeared p*ssed off.

Lol...you think what you like GP...but if your sh1t stirring really has to stretch back six and a half years I think most will recognise your obsessive desperation. Even you hadn’t coined your favourite phrase back then.

I think a more pertinent analysis would Be to compare the amount of name calling, mudslinging and general nastiness on football/sport threads versus the politics threads. The Brexit thread is proof absolute that quantity does NOT equal quality

I take it you do concede that this thread as per the title is about Brexit? Or as is usual are you going to pretend that you didn't claim something that is demonstrably not the case? Just wondering for a friend.

And you are not blameless in that regard so a little bit of hypocrisy on your part. But my pertinent analysis, would be that yes there is more argy bargy shall we say, but there is also some quite informative and telling discussion.

I would disagree rA, the use of the sticky for football threads means those who don't wish to look or scroll through threads on other subjects don't need to. With the exception of GP of course who clearly likes to expend time on looking at threads and then make inaccurate comments about them.
