AFL gives $500,000 to flood appeal

[AllSport]

Those guys just wont listen that they are turning people off of rl .
Gave up years ago on that site .

.

The same way Bigfooty can turn leaguies off AFL when they go on bay 13 and mistake the trolling anti-league threads are serious so it goes both ways, there is minority in both forums they can turn people away from other sports.

Good stuff AFL, I wonder what NRL donated

If any Rugby league fan is turned off Aussie Rules because of Bay 13 or any poster here then they need their heads read. An insult on Bay 13 is being called a bumsniffer or having the games International status questioned, while a pot shot here might make reference to you being a bit slow on the uptake just because you follow Rugby league.

I find it rather ironic that one website actually does damage to two sporting codes. If people are really turning people off Rugby league because of LU, then the same can be said about the people (and RUNVS) has been one of them who currently fuel the anti Australian Football sentiment which prevails on LU.

I think boths sets of supporters actually have a great deal of respect for one another despite all the rubbish which goes on between the two.

Good stuff AFL, I wonder what NRL donated

It's about two posts above you. Although News ltd. who allegedly own Rugby league also gave (IIRC) 500k so all up 600k.

The big difference is the degree .
Publicly wishing ill fortune on people as matter of common practice needs no further comment .

on eBay...

Tim Cahill Everton experience has just passed $800k with four days to go.

Andrew Bogut v Lakers in LA $53k with five days to go.

 

[LightTower4]

I think i can guess which moderator that was.

El Dildo?

 

[Aucklander]

El Dildo?

Who else? I don't think he likes anyone or thing.

Pretty sure I found the thread and had a read of it. El d's post isn't there, but there's lots of posts from people shooting him down over something he said.

I can't find anything else where people want to see "Victards burn" or where they wish them ill will, just genuine remorse and sympathy.

No such member as Plogs, unless he used a different user name on LU.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Tim Cahill is now $1 short of $1,000,000

flipping insane!

My "fake bidding" sense is tingling.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

Yeah I'm a bit skeptical - the guy whos got #1 bid has bid on a lot of cars and boats - as well as baby girls

[CHIEF SMACKAHOE]

did the nrl really only donate 100k?

i don't want to turn this into pissing contest but that is a really disappointing effort from one of the biggest sporting leagues in the country

Im guessing the thread in question from the bush fires was in TFC which frankly as with B13 is a troll forum. Anyone catching feelings over a troll forum needs their head read.

In 4C however, there was a thread where he didn't exactly cover himself in glory. Some incredibly ridiculous posting went on in there from him.

It should be pointed out, as to the thread in question. Plenty of those shooting down the insane twats having a crack at the AFL over the donation are in no way Aussie rules fans or even like Victoria all that much. One moderator who had a crack at the posters has over the years taken great delight in knocking Victorians. So let's not tar them all with the same brush.

The AFL donates to the Qld Flood Appeal and here's the response from some quality individuals over at LeagueUnlimited:

El Dildo
trying to buy supporters ...
sickening stuff from the AFL really

gregstar
with any luck all this slush will flush down to australia's arse & eddie's mob of knob-throttlers will wear it.

Happy now, ********? Stupid ****s!

From the same thread.

To all you dead beats. Your need or want to whinge about the AFL in this matter is nothing short of dispecable. It's money, that people of Queensland need, not the bickering from New South Welshmen towards Victorians.

This is the dumbest thread in the history of the world. People have lost their lives, their homes, their livelihoods are threatened, they're now living with dangers like diseases common in 3rd world countries and snakes floating down their street, and there's people bitching and turning this into a AFL v NRL thing? Get some f**king perspective.

FFS there are some pretentious arsewipes.........

I don't care if Eddie Maguire dressed up as a f*cking ballerina and wrote "Sherrin" on his knob as he masturbated to the tune of "Up There Cazaly". $10 million just got donated because of it. You can forgive it for being the crappiest, cheesiest program ever with sh*t music (Where was Rose Tatoo?????)

'll say it again guys, get a freaking life

This

So you would prefer them not to donate money and for the victims of the floods to suffer further?

Sickening stuff really…

Thankgod someone said it, its one thing to love your team, but using something like this to push an agenda is beyond belief.

f**k, I reckon, moff...

there are some sad pricks on this board.

There are some quality individuals on LU, there just also happens to be some w***ers too.

Why are you (a mod as well) defending the indefensible ?

What people have reported from LU goes well beyond
being a tanker .Remember mods are involved .
Sorry but you have to draw the line and stop defending this small minority of rl fanatics .

..

 

[Aucklander]

I'm not defending them so please don't start exaggerating the truth again. The comments were out of line, insensitive and tatseless at a time when Queensland was in a state of desperation.

Not all people who frequent LU are like that, which of course, was my point.

You could of course try reading. What AM was pointing out is that it's only a minority of people who posted in such a way. Even some of the most ardent AFL haters on the board have to their credit been absent from that thread.

What you are seeing is a minority of morons who are obsessed with the AFL snd in all reality, the number of people who have posted in such a way is only a fraction of their membership base. It's unfortunate that an admin gadgets attitude he does toward people but at the same time, having chatted to him for many years, I have a minor glimpse into why he's like that.

 

[meltiger]

Gadgets attitude should have read has that attitude lol

micro penis?

 

[meltiger]

lol no and I won't be expanding on that comment short of saying inknow more about him than most on here

As for you, you get treated the way you do on LU because you go there and act like a twat

[ringleader]

Seems like glorifying self promotion as are most business donations in a time like this.

Seems this was missed by the masses.

 

[Sebastian Balboa]

Seems this was missed by the masses.

Merely providing further incentive for others to donate. Of course, it's an AFL donation we're talking about so it follows that you most certainly would have issues with it.

 

[cos789]

Of which I acknowledged .

I'm not defending them so please don't start exaggerating the truth again.

There you go again attributing statements to me that I haven't made .
The truth is you mitigated these low lives by saying they were just "w***ers" and that there was a justifiable comparison with bay13 .
I would expect more from a mod .
