Surely quoting gifs is fine, as long as you don't quote them from previous pages. Although a blanket rule would probably sort that better.

Best not to quote them at all. A description, or @post#x would be much better. Spoilering them in the quote is an option too. This thread will work best if each gif is only posted once.

Images inside spoilers load too, dont they?
A thumbnail hyperlinked to the gif will be the most bandwidth friendly method.

Ah. I didn't know that. Good point.

Re: your white text, I'm probably being a bit militant but if people at least try to avoid unnecessary quoting it's all good.

I could watch Hernandez goal all day. The way he suckers the defender in to being a yard out of position is just beautiful.

Re: The quoted images having to load, even if you quoted the same image 10 times it wouldn't make a difference.

If the image is 300kb and you quoted it 10 times, you wouldn't have t download 3mb, your browser downloads it once and displays it 10 times, I can't see many people having computers that would stuggle to load 10 images so it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm not saying it's a good thing to quote mind you, it's unnecessary and makes the page 3 times longer than it should be, spoilers are a good idea, that way, what I said above applies and you can still let people know which image you are applying your green smilie to.

Aye, it's so subtle but so damn effective. He really is a gem of a poacher.

Fergie's reaction to a foul on Jonny Evans last night (around 6 minutes in) could be a great WTF Gif on here.

Brilliant. Nice to see that Lindegaard isn't picking his nose on the bench there.

Clean hands.

The crowd after Torres missed the sitter; one man doing the "wanker" gesture. Thank you.

Gif of Evans getting pissed at Carrick for passing backwards would be great. And Hilarious.

Fergie must be thinking that there's no way he can make a valid excuse for dropping him in future big games :lol:
