Well when you have new posters such as manos trying to make people believe Buffon is trying to make an "exit" from his last name, of course the forum is going to fall in quality.

obviously the lack of tactical conversations can be attributed to teh fact that now juve are in serie b very few members actually have access to games. last season i managed to see most games either on tv or on streams. this year i have seen precisely 0 games live, i am sure many, many members here have the same problem.
once juve are promoted back to where they rightfully belong i am positive there will be an outburst of would be pundits giving their opinions on juves tactical brilliance and zebinas positional frailties.

plus the fact that (as predicted) all the zlatanites and glory hunters have shown their true colours and buggered off

That's correct on all counts. Unfortunately I have not been able to see any Juventus matches live this season, and that trend will continue.

Moreover, the quality of posting has been falling for a while now, so it's nothing new. It was almost a year ago when we addressed the problem and tried to do some "Spring Cleaning." No offense to the new members, but most that register now do not contribute to the discussions as much as the members who signed up years ago used to, and that seems to be correlated with many of said older posters leaving. Once those who keep the standards high exit the premisses, the floor tends to fall out from under you.

Really? About 60% of them have been live on Rai International, with whom I've been quite impressed lately.

Unfortunately the apartment complex I moved into doesn't allow satellite dishes being installed, so that means no RAI international. It's absolute torture not having that channel anymore.

Can you get comcast? Rai is like 5$ a month or something on digital cable (though that may be a regional thing, like I know espn deportes is available in the southwest but not up here)

And that's another thing... my apartment already has cable included, but it's some shitty excuse for a cable company that doesn't even offer NHL Center Ice. This is the only thing about my apartment that tears my hair out.

there has been a bit of an exodus of the "old guard" however i do feel that there are still a few quality posters around here. all we can hope is that the general level of posting and tactical analysis picks up once we are all able to gain access to our beloved juve's matches once more

until then i will keep having fun in my thread:D

:lol2: That sucks, but I guess there could be worse things to live with. I don't really watch tv at all anyways, excluding footie matches.

I go to rollerdisco instead :lol:

Dude. Pack your things. Call the wrecking ball truck. Get a lawyer.

That's my best advice for you. :tdown:
