Match day thread live scores poll

[Malc]

A discussion has arisen about my posting of live score updates of other L1 matches (and the scum if they are losing) in OUFC Match Day thread. Some like them, some hate them, and some just ignore them.

So here is a poll for you all to decide if I should continue to do this or that I stop. You decide!

 

[Malc]

Just looked back through the MDT against Fleetwood. During the match I made 21 posts with score updates. This from a total of 93 posts made during the match.

 

[Navegante]

Seriously. People need to get a grip. Keep it up Malc!

Personally i think it fits nicely with the match day thread, in fact the more a season progresses the more interesting it becomes, imagine what its like when we are fighting for promotion (or for a play off place/scrapping for our lives), who wouldn't want to know whats going on around us.

I wonder if the those who were complaining about this call RadOx asking Jerome to stop mentioning other scores during the commentary.... Doubt it!

 

[Concretebob]

If it's in the same league as us it's relevant.

 

[Leysboy]

Not a problem for me, prevents me looking elsewhere for scores when at work.

Just don’t see where the problem is.

 

[Maurice Earp]

I don't think that there really is a problem, it's just that some people have different ideas from the majority and winge about it for attention. Let it stay I say

One of those complaining started threads during the match day afternoon about seeing Avram Grant at the ground and seats not being cleaned after all. These threads attracted little, if any, interest from anyone, yet the poster still maintained his right to post them. Quite ironic that Malc's posting of entirely relevant L1 scores is being challenged.

Scores from league one are relevant to us ain’t they? We don’t exist in a vacuum, we are in competition with 23 other teams, how they get on is relevant to us (unless we play all season like we have played so far, then we are in a league of 1 at the bottom).

 

[Phantompieman]

Don't care what scores you put up..

 

[MiddleBartonYellow]

Does it really matter. Obviously does to some people then.

 

[Berliner]

If there were a hundred posts a minute then it might be an issue...yesterday had all of 90 in the entire game, so 1 a minute?
Assuming you're checking in (charitably) every five minutes, that's five whole posts to read on average.
I think I have the mental capacity to read five posts without losing my s**t as to the content (even Bazzer!)
And that's ignoring the fact that they are often important to us (play off picture, people below us losing?)
Some people really do look for an issue sometimes!

Maybe just stop posting OUR score - it's too depressing at present ?

Posted about seeing Avram Grant before the game, posted about my seat before KO.

I do not post to 'get attention' forums are about people's opinions and if it's not the same as others then so be it!

I think the point is you started 2 new threads for those two things and think that's ok but not for someone to give live score updates in our live match day thread.

I have no problem with you starting those threads but find it bizarre that you would think starting threads for those items is of interest but not live scores on a live match day thread.

 

[Yellowlab]

I work weekends so being able to keep up with Oxford and other relevant scores in the same place makes my life a lot easier, especially as I just have my phone to use.

Keep up the good work Malc.

I have no problem with someone posting match scores, but why not have a match scores thread and keep the OUFC match thread just as it states it is which is our games match updates.

 

[Paul Cannell]

I would once have thought it odd that people would campaign for less information.

Perhaps if you have to point at each letter and mouth the words it does take ages to read a score.....

Because it means switching between the two. If you are looking on one thread you are missing updates on the other.

If the majority like it then it's up to them, just my own personal opinion.

Personally I could not care less about other teams scores and just desperately hoping my own team can find the net..

 

[Paul Cannell]

I'm hoping they can find their feet.

That’s precisely my point. If you expect to be able to start and contribute to threads yourself, expect others to do likewise. There’s only one poster on this thread trying to stifle free posting.

 

[unification]

Ox4Eva having a problem with something minor and insignificant?

Who would have thought it!

 

[Notaswindonfan]

Liverpool 0-0 West Ham?

 

[Gary Baldi]

I love the thread having scores in it - not sure why anyone would have a problem with it. It's not to hard to scroll past a post with a score in it is it?

 

[SteMerritt]

Perhaps an adjustment to how Malc goes about it? One post every 10 of 15mins for a 'League One Update' post? Can say scores, and how it moves us in the table.

 

[Paul Cannell]

It's fine as it is. Why should malc have to summarise when nine tenths of people are happy?

 

[Gary Baldi]

I'd think you either do it or don't. It's not like a majority have a problem with it either

Pardon me for having a suggestion...
