feck me, somebody says a bollocks statement and you can no longer disscuss it.
Why don't we have an official rule that on redcafe you can't compare the greatest players against each other Hectic?
Messi is the greatest player of our generation so it's natural, I repeat natural he's going to constantly be compared to other greats . I'm sure it's like that in ever single forum.
There used to be a time posters were encouraged to discuss football especially during a bloody off season.
First we can't compare Messi and Ronaldo, fair enough, that's understandable somewhat. Whatever .
Messi vs Ronaldinho is a very healthy footballing debate about two of the most talented footballers to play the game.
To every poster who replied I can school you on every single post sent my way, but feck debating football.
I'm out.
Massively ignoring the point though aren't you.
It's all we see on here, comparisons with every player, it's reached the point now where as soon as a player is talked about, the question of is he/was he better than Messi crops up, evidenced in this thread, and the thousand other ones. If you can't see this recent pattern, then you're the lucky one.
It's not about being able to compare the two Boss. If the intentions of this thread were to discuss Ronaldinho in comparison to Messi, then fair enough, but it wasn't and like every other 'single player' thread, we see the same thing happen. It means people who don't care less about comparing every player alive to Messi, means they have to read though it, or ignore it.
It wouldn't be an issue if it wasn't happening all the time Boss, and a lot of times people don't want their thread derailed by posters who can't seem to talk about anything other than 'vs Messi'. It's ridiculous, the focus on him is too much, and last time I checked this was the Football Forums, not the Messi Forums.
Don't be hysterical. We still want posters to discuss football, and that's the whole point isn't it. To discuss football, not football in the context of one player, and not football in the context of 'X vs Y'. That's shit, and makes for shit discussions, with people who can't back down on their point, so inevitably ends up in arguments. It might be fun for you, arguing why every player isn't as good as Messi, but for those of us who don't care, or are bored of seeing it every day, it get's tiresome.
I'm not sure if you are being ignorant on purpose here. You can discuss Messi vs Ronaldo, that coud not be clearer. The whole point is that you and others were taking the piss so much with your Messi vs Ronaldo rubbish, a sole thread had to be created, for the specific and sole purpose of 'Messi vs Ronaldo', in fact, in that thread, there is nothing else you can discuss.
You need to understand this forum is more than you arguing the toss on Messi, and involves more than just player comparisons. There isn't anything wrong with it, which has been stressed a thousand times, but when every other thread is derailed with the intention of turning it into a vs Messi discussion, people will take upset, and complaints will and have been made.
