[Albion] When even your debut for the WC winners isn't worth a thread



Checked The Big Board for any developments after lunch, then did some general browsing. Was pretty bemused to discover on some obscure foreign website that our own Facundo Buonanotte was actually playing for Argentina's first team! So, only missed the first 75 minutes. Has NSC got to the stage where you have to open every bounced player thread just on the off-chance that something significant has happened?! 😦

I've wondered this a few times recently. Is this now the culture of the place, or do the Mods immediately merge a new thread with the old one?

Thank goodness people are starting to use existing threads for players rather than starting a new one every time there is something to report. Really wish there was a 'one thread per player' rule on here.

MODS: merge this thread with the existing Goodnight one :thumbsup:

Surely the assumption of a thread being bounced should be that something of note has happened?

Exactly this. It makes sense for everything related to a specific player to be in one thread. They go in all different directions anyway – and the chances are that the news of his debut is being covered in it and THAT'S why it's been bounced!

Do you're prepared to look at an "obscure foreign website" for football news, but not willing to browse on here to see why a Buonanotte thread has bounced in off-season.

:shrug:

I'm a huge fan of every player having their own thread.
They always have a signed one anyway so just keep those rolling through.

If you want to 'go back where it all began' when Bounanotte lifts the WC trophy in 3 years time, you've got no chance finding this thread, but can easily land on June '23 on his own thread.

Anyone can start a thread about whatever they they like. All this bollocks about searching for half an hour to see is something was mentioned on some other ancient thread gets on my tits.

Oi, there are plenty of threads about people's pet peeves, couldn't you use one of those?
FFS just use the search function

Ok, so you wish there was a 'one thread per player' rule, but what does eveyone else think? I'll start a thread asking whether people think it's worth having a poll about it. If so, I'll get a thread going to see if we can establish what the poll options should be. Maybe it should depend on the player? This is going to require some in depth discussion, I can feel it.

Good idea 👍

Well I think it was worth a new thread as it was a specific, and noteworthy, event. I hate it when old threads get bounced, especially when the subject has moved on. And big/old threads can go massively off-topic as the Leeds one has done with its discussions of Latin teachers.

Nothing to stop you creating one.
Indeed. Fortunately somebody already has! (Now two threads both on the subject on Buonanotte's debut would have been one too many. Just IMO).
