you footcelsiored yourself 16 months on? admirable chutzpah, bravo.
this post often comes to mind:
Graz_Entertainment - hyperenthusiastic and tbh slightly creepy mitteleuropean poster debuts with a splash next week through his 'Never Mind The Red Bullocks - Weiner Neustadt won't win the Austrian Bundesliga 2011/12'. Not one to admit defeat, he notches up 847 unanswered posts through to the end of November before pandemic takes pity on him and streams Mattersburg v Wacker Innsbruck late one Tuesday. To pandemic's surprise, the quality is astonishing, Wacker's Luka's Hinterseer sealing a 3-2 win late on via a backheel rabona from his own half.It turns out Austria's international performance over the past two decades has been a smokescreen to protect the tactical leaps and innovations in technique hothoused domestically for the highest stakes before rabid crowds. Word gets around, sonderangerbot even going so far as to attend February's Vienna derby, won when Stefan Kulowitz ears in a swerving screamer from outside the box in injury time.By March the entirety of ILX's football chat has migrated to the thread, now including dozens of regular ilxors who previously wouldn't've touched football with a bargepole - even some girls. The season culminates in the inaugural ILF awayday to Salzburg, where against the odds Weiner Neustadt do clinch the title amid incredible scenes. At least two posters never return, setting up home there so as to never miss a kick again.Alas, all does not end happily for Graz_Entertainment - on top of the humiliation of Weiner winning the league after all, Sturm turn out to be merely the tenth most brilliant team in Austria and are relegated. He relocates to spam politics and conspiracy theory threads instead, before fatal indecision sees him selected as mod in dubious circumstances. He uses his new powers to takeover De Subjectivisten and several other, weaker boards, and is only repulsed from ILM itself in an epic struggle. Thereafter restricted to the 'Ask Graz_Entertainment' thread, he eventually self-permabans in pathetic circumstances. Some wag attempts a Downfall youtube, but it's hardly worth it.― Ismael Klata, Tuesday, September 20, 2011 6:52 PM (1 year ago)
