I had thought about making a sport category.

thing is oi, we had thought about a lot of other categories too...and as a new site with relatively few members, we decided there wasnt much point in having heaps and heaps and heaps of categories that are very specific, only to see them relatively empty. this was something myself and diamondgeezer talked about.

We have the members chat area, which i think football or other sport threads would be perfect for.

anyway thats my 2c, everyones opinion is valid.

just be mindful of what i said about having heaps of (relatively) empty categories...every one and his dog is going to want a forum category for something sooner or later, we must ask ourselves how many do we want to have?

Personally I feel that too many dilutes the forum, and we already decided to make members chat prominent and up high in the listing for threads like football etc, instead of a hidden away members subforum down the bottom somewhere.

Furry muff. We'll make do with a football thread until it gets so big it needs splitting into it's various clubs and competitions

Play Up Pompey, Pompey Play Up!

Euro 2012 racists admit they must ‘improve’ after waiting two days for UEFA rebuke



Racists across Ukraine and Poland have admitted they need to ‘up their game’ after their latest outbursts at a Dutch training session took two days to be acknowledged by Uefa officials.

Despite chanting at black players in front of Dutch team officials, spectators, reporters and television cameras, the delay in any official acknowledgment from Uefa has left racist groups insisting they will try harder in future.

White supremacist Mikael Thomset told us, “We did our best, but it was a training session, and we’re not all match-fit yet. I’m sure that when the tournament starts proper you’ll see us in fine voice and at the centre of Uefa’s attention.”

“I would urge the racists across Europe not to discount us just yet. Behind closed doors we’re working hard and once that whistle goes, we will be ready, you can rest assured of that.”
Euro 2012 racism claims

Uefa president Michel Platini has defended his organisation’s stance, insisting that racism is not an issue at Euro 2012, at least not until he hears the words ‘cheese-eating’ or ‘surrender-monkey’.

He told reporters, “There is a very subtle different between shouting abuse at the ‘black bastard’ and the ‘bastard in the black’, and we have to be sure we’re not misinterpreting perfectly harmless vituperation due to language or cultural differences.”

Football fan Simon Williams told us, “Nothing about Uefa’s stance on racism surprises me these days, I think the only way we’ll ever see them stand up to it properly is if one of their major sponsors is outed as being ‘black’.”
