The caf should be proud of Top's thread starts. If you've not seen them check out the four previous ones in the matchday forum. We should be honoured to have such a talented graphic artist and knowledgeable United fan who is willing to give his time and effort in producing a truly professional and visually exciting opening. I know from experience that his graphics take up hours of his time....as opposed to Jacob's.....who whips them up in 5 minutes with not an ounce of creativity and with an attitude of a ten year old.
But then when has the caf ever appreciated professional touches or anyone who sacrifices his time to provide enjoyment for others.

lets allow everyone a chance if they want to start a matchday thread.
The funny thing is, I really don't care about starting the match day threads.
I made the first match day thread with new layout a night I was bored and no one else had started one. I then continued to create the threads purely because people liked the layout and the extra info.
It obviously means a lot more to other people like Jacob, who, if I remember correctly, even made statistics based on the match day threads.
People obviously liked the extra info, and it wasn't just for show either - I thought it would be nice to have a list of tv channels showing the match as we often see people asking. I also thought some stats would be a nice touch to see how the teams were currently doing and how we fared the last time we met.
The news-updates in the bottom was a way to collect all the news surrounding the match so that people could just look at the first post and see who was out - it being with injuries or suspension. In fact I can see someone has asked about who's unavaible in the current match day thread.
Granted, the Profiles picture wasn't a necessity and simply the outcome of me being bored the first night - but people liked it so I kept doing it in various forms.
I didn't create the threads for my own sake, I simply just continued as people used the info and liked the layout - in fact it was only Jacob who said the threads (layout and info) were "shit", I guess he felt I was stepping on his turf or some weird shit like that - he then hurried up to create the current thread clearly to get a reaction from people, which some of his posts (now deleted) also shows - and he got what he wanted; a reaction, which he claimed only spured him on even more - a rather weird comment which I guess showed he was on a mission to wind people up.
There won't be any more problems in the future, as I won't be creating any more match day threads - it's not worth it, as I said; I only continued to do it as people liked it, the 5-7 minutes it took me to do the logos and profile images were not something I particularly enjoyed.
Over and out.
BahamaRed: I appreciate your comments, I really do, but just let it go mate - it obviously means a lot more to some people to be the thread starter, and at least my threads ended on a high with the introduction of the Brazil twins

are you sultan ? bearded and wise
Nick [UN's Peace Envoy to the Matchday Thread dispute] at your service.
Let's try and reach a meeting of minds here if we can.
If we look back to the earliests matchday threads it is clear that both the style and detail in the OP ahs evolved over the years. From logos, to more recently adding the local time when we are away in the CL.
I propose that thead starters begin to introduce the following where possible [these being in addition to what we had last season]:
- A list of TV channels and radio stations that will be covering the match. These need not be fully up to date right at the time of posting but soon after would be nice.
- Recent form for the two clubs involved.
- The predicited weather conditions for the day/time of the match.
I think the above represents a reasonable compromise.
To close, i do not feel that making the starting of such threads exclusive to one person or group of people sets the right tone. Newbies are promoted the time and they should be welcome to participate in this area like everywhere else on the forum. The latter also applies to already promoted members who simply haven't done it before.

Are you a noob? This is the caf we're talking about.
Actually, looking from another point of view, competing to do the matchday thread could be seen as being enthusiastic. Nothing wrong with that, until the insults start flying in on who creates a better matchday thread. Top the the caf really enjoyed your matchday threads and appreciate them (that's an understatement) and please don't let this incident keep you away from the matchday threads.
On the other hand, Jacob and the rest of the Caf are more than welcomed to start a matchday thread, as long as no one creates it. If anyone creates a thread and realizes someone had beaten him to it, just delete yours and move on, there is no need to quarrel over it. That said I apologize to everyone because I did create a second matchday thread on the CL final against girish, and was fortunate the mods never infracted me on that and girish deleted his. Very grateful for that and I promise it will never happen again.
But when insults fly in like those mehro cleaned up, that's going overboard. A matchday thread is after all, a matchday thread, for all those who doesnt have coverage to the match to enjoy and appreciate. Let's just all be graceful enough to peace out and enjoy whatever we can.

Well said. Fk the quality.
Tops are great but others are generally fine.
If only people could stop treating it like a competition to start one all would be well and as Top says he does it to help and inform and not as a part of any competition. Enthusiasm is great but when the purpse is to be first rather than to help and inform it gets a bit silly and juvenile.

Bloody hell, I at least assumed this thread would be about the idiots who ruin the thread by posting fake scorelines and declaring after 5 minutes that the eleven players on the field are, always have been, and always will be shite. And fair enough, it's not often I'm on here to view the match thread, but its deeply annoying when I do see it
But to be arguing over who starts the thread?!?! Who cares!!!
That said, its always nice to have some nice presentation to a thread, with basic important information. It doesn't take mods to oversee that though, surely a friendly custom between cafites would suffice, whoever starts it makes it look good?
This is one of the Cafs more embarrasing threads. Not quite up there with Jason's Cantona effort, but embarrasing in different ways...

Yeah I agree with you with the embarressing part but isn't this just another issue to discuss about on the caf, since everyone has their own opinion and embarressing to you and me doesn't mean it's embarressing to other members.
Totally agree with what you say Wibble. As Brad followed up, anyone who gets the thread could make it more informative and creative. It's really up to the individual. But the tradition of matchday threads was just a simple club badges, dates, venue and timing so maybe Top had introduced another level of creativity in matchday threads. That by no means should set the standard how everyone should create a matchday thread because we might not have the graphical talents like Top.
Well said. Fk the quality.
The arguments or bickering at the start of the threads will come back up soon enough, unless posters are infracted or something silly.
People seem to be under the illusion that the majority of Caf members are able to decide something as simple as this by themselves.

They will be. And banned permanently from match day threads.
Fake scorelines gate an additional punishment involving Rimaldo having free access to their backside for the whole of the next game.
I don't care who starts the threads either. Top's threads was good because they was informative. Form guide and TV channels etc is information that is good to know.
The main problem I have is the shite thats posted after the thread is created. I figured if we had a mod doing it that would stop the mindless drivel that plagues the first several pages of every match day thread.

But when the match day threads are created literally SECONDS after the final whistle has been blown with a piss poor information then what do you bloody expect.
I've never made one I don't see the point. But I get pissed off by seeing threads being made that are either A. Wrong or B. Too quick.
The insults and comments are made in the matchday thread because they're made too damn early. Espically seconds after a vital win, it's just plain idiotic and to be fair it fecks me off.

To be fair to myself, I've done nothing but:
1) Created a thread,
2) taking shit (some bannable offences) from 90% of the Caf and
3) stand up for something I didn't do wrong.

My post wasn't to be fair aimed at you, it's remembering last season espically when it got down to the last 2 months, the match day threads were a joke.
Agreed, but some (very few) might argue that a clean-cut presentation is more appealing. I don't see any difficulties in graphical creation in his threads
I've no problem with you Jacob, well apart from your match day thread didn't have as much useful information as Top's.
feck that, you took it to a personal level. You could've just asked me to either step down and delete the thread or add the information myself. An apology is due...
I rarely see the matchday threads as i'm usually watching the match ironically enough, and before the match they're usually full of speculation and crap, but i have to say having seen tops' format i very much like his more informative method, perhaps the others just need to follow suit a little.
Have to say i agree with Sultan, i have been visiting the forum more just to see Tops' threads. https://www.redcafe.net/f11/manchester-united-vs-juventus-friendly-212858/#post4946787

You were clearly pissed off that Top was creating matchday threads. I recall you posting several times in his threads stuff like "oh what is this shit" whilst pretty much everybody else said how pleased their were with Top's efforts. After posting your thread you then had a stupid sarcastic attitude of "shut the feck up, it's my thread" - and you continued to gloat as though posting a matchday thread before somebody else was some kind of achievement. Last season, you and a couple of "matchday thread pros", were the ones to attack other people for daring to make a thread.
To those who say the matchday thread should be a competition - it should, but not a competition of who can post it the quickest just so the saddest twat wins - it should be a competition of who is better at making them. As for anyone who thinks that who creates the thread has some effect on the result of the match - please die a gruesome death.
Why can't two people create them? Then the thread with the most posts after a set time can win, the other one deleted, merged? This seems fair.
Chill Jacob! You've done nothing wrong...
Yes Top might have created beautiful matchday threads with very informative information and he did it out of his own hard work and dedication, which we appreciate it. But as I said the tradition of matchday threads is just simple badges and the basic "must know" information like timings, venue. Pre-match information might change around and afterall, there are thread that discuss pre-match issues eg player suspension, injuries etc and we can't expect Top to keep editing the most "up to date" information on matchday threads. Furthermore, we all do surf the net for the latest up to date information right? There's nothing wrong with Jacob's simple and basic style. After all, the matchday thread is for all those who do not have converage to enjoy the priviledges of it;Thats the main purpose of the Matchday threads right? Any extra effort to make it creative and informative is solely up to the creator and we would all appreciate that effort, but we shouldnt expect it to be like Top everytime.

Eh?
Hycool, I think the purpose of match day threads is for people to simply commentate and discuss the match as they watch it. As you do in the pub.
My main complaint are match day threads are started too early in the week. We need time to digest the match we've just watched rather than talking about the next one. I'd prefer matchday threads to be opened 1/2 days before the game.

Quote me on that
The posts have been deleted, as you well know.
Yup but I am afraid we cannot really stop anyone who wants to create a matchday thread straight after a match ends. As pointed out by the mods it's pretty ridiculous to make the matchday threads governed by rules and regulations. We can't help it. My only proposal is if someone creates a matchday thread and realizes someone beats you to it, just delete yours and wait for the next match. It's still good to be enthusiastic!
But no need to hurl abuses around like in the Charity Shield thread. Its really saddens and upset many Caf members.Exactly, Rowem.
Jacob, you didn't just create the thread purely for the sake of creating a match day thread, you did it in spite after you had criticized the way I had made the threads - I guess you didn't like how people were suddenly saying I should make all the match day threads, as you somehow felt I was stepping on your turf, which is silly and childish considering it's nothing but a simple thread on the internet, surely there's no status symbol there.
So like a jealous school girl who had just seen the girl from 9th grade steal her sweetheart, you decided to simply stop the threads by quickly creating the matchday thread hoping to get attention and a reaction, which you got.
I couldn't have cared less that someone created thread, I was more than happy not to do it, as it literally means nothing to me - but it was quite obvious that you were trying to make some kind of statement and get a reaction.
Also, don't say people could have simply asked you to add the information, as you clearly wouldn't have done it - when people asked where the news section was you said they weren't real United fans if they didn't know the news themselves, really twattish behaviour - especially as you yourself didn't know who were banned and injured yourself only a day before.
Your behaviour was odd, but I won't keep going on about it, as that serves no purpose.
It's generally all a bit too stupid imo, but I guess it's because I don't share you guys' passion for starting match day threads.
The case is closed as far as I'm concerned.
Will somebody tell Top he's on my ignore list since yesterday.
He was clearly joking.
Strange to think that posting on an internet forum could make me wish death on someone but Jacob is getting impressively close.
"Someone please let Top know he's on my ignore list."
I bet he's crying himself to sleep.He was clearly joking.

Hey cased closed ok? Everyone was at fault in some way or another and I remembered you were the first few who started hurling abuses. There's no need to say anything more to worsen the situation.
