    Default Edu getting fan support

    http://football365.com/story/0,17033...099139,00.html

    Edu is giddy about his name being chanted at an away game. Meanwhile, a first appearance still beckons.

    I wish people would stop reflectively posting this whenever Edu stuff gets posted... you are plain wrong....I (and I suspect others) are interested, plus I don't go on the international boards nearly so often

    give it a rest

    I think it's still TFC news, because he's a recent alumni of both the team and the league, and it is in the interest of both that he succeeds.

    As far as I'm concerned, Mo Edu news should always be TFC news, as long as it isn't just Rangers match highlights, or something.

    it's not "TFC or MLS news" so it shouldn't be here. Simple as that.
    i've seen things with more relevance (but not quite news) being moved out of this thread, so we should keep up the same rules.
    The only time it's important is if it affects TFC or MLS. His trade was important news.
    but now stories about songs Rangers fans sing for him is not TFC or MLS news.
    If you're too lazy to go over to the international section, that's your problem.

    Um yeah...thanks for your input guys but you don't get a say in what gets put in here. Denime is the mod for this section so he gets final say on that. So if you don't like the news that gets put up...go to another thread.

    IMHO, this kind of news belongs in the international football section now. I don't mind following the fortunes of former players who have gone to Europe or elsewhere, but not here.

    As for players traded to other MLS teams, I hear quite enough about them through the regular MLS news, thank you.

    Good point. We will let Denime decide that. Mo is a former TFC player of the current season. Maybe that is a rule once this season is over?

    That doesn't really solve anything but whatever, I'll leave it up to the mods to decide.

    Uh, no, it does. There are about four or five new posts an hour, at most, in the forum and maybe that ALL DAY in the news section. So there is no legitimate argument that it crowds the forum.

    So if it doesn't crowd the forum, and you don't have to read it unless you choose to, where's the fucking problem, exactly?

    So, what, if a TFC alumni retires a TFC player that's game, but if he goes to another team, it's not? So Cunningham news isn't interesting to TFC fans, even though he was a striker (yes, we all use the term loosely) here for two years?

    That's just idiotic. I work in a business that compartmentalizes news as a core of what it does, the newspaper business. And Mo Edu news is TFC news for as long as TFC fans are interested in alumni, whether you like it or not.

    It's great that they're chanting his name before the game, and before they've seen him play. I think they'll be chanting something different if he plays for them the way he did for us.

    There are lots of topics that TFC fans could be interested in. Doesn't mean we can go around posting them in the incorrect section, now does it? I don't care if you work for a newspaper ... this is a message board. Your occupation doesn't really have any relevance to be honest.

    Rules are rules and in this case, the purpose of this section is clear enough. If you have any Cunningham news, post ahead. This is the correct section since he plays for Dallas.

    Edu is a recent alumni of the club. As long as this is the case, it's TFC news.

    Rules ARE rules, but I also think you're being pedantic.

    Rules are rules because they are simple enough and do not require additional justification to follow. I'm just interested to know as to how much time would be appropriate before Edu related news starts going in the proper section? Who is to judge that a certain amount of time needs to be passed before Edu becomes immaterial to ALL TFC fans? Personally I know for a fact that I would be interested in Edu's career for the foreseeable future (maybe the next 5 years), regardless of the fact that I thought very little of him as a professional football player.

    Either way, I really didn't have an issue with this thread until someone busted out the classic "don't click if you don't like it" line, which really fucks me up since I don't think turning a blind eye to anything is a solution under any circumstance.

    You would think he would have to actually at least do something positive on the field before they start singing his name.

    I mean, its nice to welcome a player ... but come on ... how hyped up exactly is Edu over there ...

    WTF is wrong with you people? if you don't want to see Edu news then DON"T CLICK ON THE FUCKING THREAD TITLED EDU

    Rocker, if the extra thread title takes up too much space on your 6 inch monitor then that's your problem.

    I totally agree.

    Has internet ettiquette really gone this far? Why would you spend the time to:

    a) read the title of the thread
    b) click the title of the thread
    c) read the contents of the thread
    d) post your opinion on the thread

    ....only to say that the thread shouldn't exist here?

    Weird. I guess I don't get it.

    As for the topic. It's nice to hear he's having a good time over the pond. I wonder how happy he'll be once he gets into a game. I'm interested to see if he'll be able to hack it there. Oh well, only time will tell.

    Yep. People insist on impressing their position on others, that's all. If you don't like a book, don't read it. But don't burn it.

    The SPL looks pretty weak these days outside the top two; I wouldn't be surprised if he does OK.

    i gotta say.... i've been pretty bitter about this whole Mo Edu thing. whether it's him underachieving or just leaving us in his dust.... but ever since i saw him at the top of 113 showing his appreciation i can't be mad at the guy. that was very classy.

    i just wish these Edu threads would stop.... not because they don't belong in this section (i dont give 2 shits.) but rather it just CONSTANTLY REMINDS ME that we lost a good prospect. (whether i open the thread or not.)
