Euro 2012

[El Pibe]

We're preaching to the unconvertible Bob.

"It seems you've done a bit of selective reading as clearly you haven't acknowledged the first sentence - "Sympathy is an extension of empathic concern"."

Look in a dictionary and they are clearly two different though thematically related concepts

Sympathy

Feelings of pity and sorrow for someone else's misfortune.

Formal expression of such feelings; condolences

Empathy

The ability to understand and share the feelings of another.

The wikipedia phrase you quote is essentially just meaningless waffle, it is wikipedia after all.

Anyway, my head is sore from the brick wall, I give up.

Bob, you're confusing lack of social interaction with my disdain for certain individuals. Besides, your behaviour along with Otta and EP amounts to bullying. The root cause of bullying is lack of self-esteem. I'm afraid the problem isn't me.

[*Bob*]

Oh I see.. You run into the room of strangers, you repeatedly tell them all how brilliant you are in the most ridiculous manner (as well as how stupid they are), then when they all tell you you're a tit - you play the victim?

Wake up and smell the coffee, man!

It's you. Take responsibility for the reaction YOU illicit in others.

[Eddleston]

You might be right about that. Well, Italy was better but in the end spain were fortunate enough.

Ignoring the outcome, who was your personal favourite?

[Eddleston]

Good idea.

[El Pibe]

I'd like to have seen Russian go further.

As if I'm going to listen to a bunch of imbalance people. I say get over your low self-esteem issues as I much rather want to talk about football. Something that is sorely lacking in your posts.

Anyway, no amount of bullying will force me off the forum.

"Anyway, no amount of bullying will force me off the forum."

I think people are saying, "stop being such a tit". They aren't saying "get off the forum"

[Undisputedtruth]

Other individuals don't have a problem with me and have had private messages giving support after seeing abuses targetted towards me.

I think the real issue is low self-esteem for people like Bob and co. Bob didn't exactly appeared in this thread to talk about in-depth football matters unless I'm seriously mistaken. Besides what gives him the right to tell me who I am or not? If he feels inadequate then seek treatment. I don't have any issues with people who are better than me on certain subjects. Why would I?

[*Bob*]

Just turn the tit dial down a bit - if you can - and you'll see an instant improvement in all relations. Across the board. Trust me - it's that simple.

You can do it!

I can change. You can change. We can all change. Adriaaaaaaaaaaaaan....

[*Bob*]

Go on. I dare you. I will if you will.

[*Bob*]

Let's go on holiday together!

"Judging by your knee jerk analysis, lack of football knowledge and sheer stupidity, why would I take your views seriously?"

So if you don't think a person's football knowledge is up to your high standards, you write them off as a person who's views are not worth taking seriously?

[red devil]

On behalf of my client Red Devil, I am writing to state that Red Devil wishes it to be known that he has not sent UDT a private message of support.

Should any fellow forumite allude to such a slanderous accusation, they will be served with the relevent writ.

Red Devil also wouldn't mind knowing what's the best position for a 40-something to suck one's cock off, as it's something he's not been able to do since he was a young slip of a lad.

Otta, I draw the line with football arguments over your nonsense that everyone hates Liverpool.

[TillieTrotter]

Boys, boys.....you're being played like a fiddle here. Bloody funny though.

[Jeremy]

We need a closing italics tag.

Red devil - you need to fix your post. Your closing italics tag has a slash after the i.

Hat, spoon, plate..

It would be good though. In fact it would be GREAT. Say it's true!

I'm not too concern. It's usually the same few individuals who feel they have a god given right to dictate what can be said on a forum.

[Otta]

She was saying that you're a troll UDT, keep up.

Going back a step, what I was asking UDT is, being as you think I know nothing about footballo, does that mean that all of my views about anything are automatically dismissed by you, or just my views on football.

Secondly, is there a UDT Football Exam that we can sit, in order to prove our worth in a discussion about this deeply complex subject?

I respect Jah Lush posts when he talks about football from a footballing angle. You're unable to do so. Can you see the difference? It has nothing to do with matching up to my high standards. You only trying to misrepresent the situation because you don't like me. That isn't my problem. It's yours and you really need to get over your lack of self-esteem.

Otta, no amount of bullying or misrepresentation is going to make me accept your poorly thought out views on football. It's my right if I choose what to accept. Get over it.

[*Bob*]

But are we still going on holiday?

I have low self-esteem, mind, so you'll have to do all the pulling.

[Otta]

I think I'll be able to get over it. You still didn't actually answer my question, but that is hardly surprising.

Interesting you mention Jah, as I noticed that having predicted that Italy would win, Jah immediately posted along the lines of "ahem, I got that one wrong then". A good humoured post, that people appreciate.

Can you see the difference between you and Jah?
