I love my footy, so does Nino (our teams both had a win yesterday and meet next week) and we often talk footy - but I don't find it something worth getting on a forum about - I can't help or make the game better in any real sense. Footy forums seem to be a lot off opinions and not much else. What else can they be (other than an information resource, stats etc). We aren't playing the game, so can't really give much on a forum except opinions.

As for pinball, we do need the help of others in repairing and restoring etc, so it makes a forum a wonderful thing.

I don't really mind if members want to revel in their teams success with a post in the non-pinball section. As  goodolddays  mentioned, the "Mark selected read" gets a big work out from me for most non-pinball related topics.
