How glorious would it be if he got sacked few hours from now? :drool:

Cina would get my vote to take over from niall.
That's ridiculous, we'd be making the exact same mistake all over again. I don't understand why people want Cina or Damien to take over from Niall when they have no experience at the top level. We need to get one of the best managers, like The Schoolmaster from the Shed End, or Peter Thiel from Paypal.

If a regular member had made the exact same thread with the same OP, they wouldn't have been banned.
It's not about who made a thread, it's more about content. United is in crisis mostly thanks to man in charge, no wonder people though "f... finally" seeing he's been sacked and then feeling angry/confused/whatever because it's just a wum. Torres threads are funny because of transfer muppeting that goes around every year, but at the time we still had world class forwards and were spoiled for riches so it was good to have a little fun with people.

Who really cares? I mean I'm trying to work out if fish and chips for lunch fits my macros. That's a real issue.
And I don't have an umbrella while it's raining outside, that are real problems, I agree!

Apparently, because "the standard CAF practice is that when a manger is sacked or leaves a thread is locked" so I think it was all a big plan to make Cina's joke thread look more real
I see. Although it was already fair below other threads so I just saw it afterwards :lol:

This can't bother people that much, can it? I mean, sure, I may have given my dog a good lashing after I found it wasn't true, but I calmed down around the 20th strike.

It's all good, guys.

Reminds me of a thread, years ago on Liverpool community on Orkut, where mods started 'Alonso is a goner' thread as a WUM. Turned out he really left that summer and just few days after the thread was started. The meltdown was hilarious. Here it will be 'happy meltdown.'

I say we give Cina an e-trial and shit. Make the general entertaining. Call witnesses. Niall as the judge. Caf members are given jury duty.
Making a wum, on it's way to Netflix and chill near you.

Well I drop-kicked my cat through the double-glazing. Dunno about you, but I demand that Cina be tarred, feathered and shagged by a gibbon.

Saying that, I'd have preferred the title, Van Gaal Fired, and an accompanying gif of Van Gaal being fired out of a cannon.

Don't club damo with Cina ffs. Damo would automate every tu, you wouldn't even have to type your post, just think it and damobot's software will type it for you. It'd be glorious :drool:

The guy who started that thread must have got a shitload of abuse.

Those days are gone. Might be periods where the caf improves for a bit under a new manager but this side of the caf will be there lurking.

Look at this thread. A few years ago there'd be mostly lols with no/hardly any serious calls for banning/infractions.

https://www.redcafe.net/threads/torres-signs.120726/
https://www.redcafe.net/threads/torres-signs.160387/

Example from that second thread:



The very same poster now:
:lol: that's a pretty big change of heart.

However, out of interest, has the attitude of the mods towards jokes like this changed as well in that time? Sure, @Ixion might have changed his opinion on this stuff since "Torres signs", but were it me for example who posted either thread, would I, as a low profile poster, be more likely to get banned for 'LVG SACKED' than 'TORRES SIGNS'?
I have no idea how 'high profile' blythy was, I wasn't on here back then.

Time for OFFICIAL: Woodward fired one as well?

I'm not sure who will most people will generally be happier if he went. Both are really hated all around.

At least cats land on their feet. My dog's going to lay a guilt trip on me for the next few days. Actually, yeah, damn this thread to hell!

Don't sign old players and cast offs
This post could have been put in the LvG out thread, or the Random Chat thread, and it would have been mildly (very mildly) amusing; to keep it on the front page trolling each new reader is just plain wrong. I take it the transfer forum will be open to all kinds of shitness too now as well?

Was one of the moderator. They pulled the old trick of pasting official site link with url messed up so that it directs nowhere.

I've been in a bad mood since yesterday evening. Watching that LvG's manufactured rubbish, and then being stuck in traffic for 3 hours. Please stop posting these many smilies or I might just press the ban switch, and I'm generally a very placid person.
thanks for the warning.

I thought it was funny but i´m not an United fan so i don't take things as seriously. I hope Cina starts the thread when Lvg really gets sacked

Great, glad it finally happened, now who do we get in to replace him? Is Giggs taking over in the mean time?

Revan explained it perfectly:

Not really. Rules are rules but:

- Rules are meant for some reason. If WUMs were tolerated then the place would become unbearable. Every second thread would have been a WUM.
- Now, that doesn't mean that WUMs shouldn't ever happen. Because they aren't tolerated, people are safe from them. Every once a while a mod or a high profile poster makes a WUm thread, people laugh and that is the end of the story.

People laughed on this thread which is better than pretty much all other football threads at this moment.

How the feck are threads like this allowed. If this kunt isnt banned or punished all of a sudden we are going to see 10000x Rooney is Sacked or Messi Signs for United Wum threads. There is a reason we are on here and not reddit.

That barely makes any sense, but is let down by the point it was a really shit joke anyway. I mean... there is no sense of the verb "to sack" which means to be made to stand in a sack. It's rubbish.

Yep. And when Itchy plays Scratchy's skeleton like a xylophone, he strikes the same rib in succession, yet he produces two clearly different tones.
