Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

    I think we're in with a decent chance, after the recent results. Come on Armenia!

    • Re: Armenian Soccer

      Even by watching football, you can see the nature of Europeans. They will do anything to win, just as we saw with the Irish. Unsporting, cheating, doing everything just to win, they have no honour. This is nature for them.

      Strange. Very strange. Armenian keeper Roman Berezovski deals well with a deep cross by Stephen Kelly, despite Simon Cox jumping into him, and clearly feels he has been fouled. There is no whistle by the referee but Berezovski wants treatment and drops the ball at the feet of Cox, who promptly taps in to the unguarded net. Only then does Spanish official Eduardo Iturralde Gonzalez get involved, but I'm pretty sure that should be a goal. Massively unsporting, yes, but still a goal as far as the rules go
      We should have won the game. Irish team was nothing, oh how the game would be if we didn't get the undeserved red card for Berezovsky.

        Bad luck and bad calls screwd us but boy we have a talented team that has a very bright future. The red card was clearly a bad call since the ball hit nothing but the goalies chest! 11 vs 11 i say we are the better team. Yura lookes dangerous as he always is- i cant wait to watch this young man develop on our nt. This run is over but i feel a possible qualification for a world cup in our future.

          That would be even more difficult. For 2014 World Cup, we are in group B, and have to play against teams like Italy, Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Denmark, and the only "easy" one, Malta.

            We were robbed. The sending off of Berezovsky changed the whole nature of the game. Have to hope for better luck in the 2014 World Cup qualifiers, although it's a tough group.

              That was devastating, yet I'm nothing but proud of our boys. We have officially arrived.

                I woke up this morning thinking I don't care what happens, they have already surpassed all expectations and have won with honor. However, I am so disappointing, because we did not get out played. We didnt lose to a better team. We were completely robbed.
                On a call that if anything was a hand ball on the forward, that bold ignorant referee, decided he cannot possibly be wrong, doesnt consult with his assistant referee, doesn't look up to the scoreboard, thinking, hey at least if I'm wrong and I should give a yellow and not red. The incompetent fool takes out maybe the most experienced goalkeeper in all of Europe, makes us a man down, and forces the 3rd string, 20 year kid into the most important game in a countries history. The pathetic cowardly Irish looked so out of place and lost, I have no doubt that with our goalkeeper, playing 11 v 11, we would have easily defeated them.

                Having said all of that, I am extremely proud of how we performed. This is a sign of the direction the country is moving in, in 20 years of independence, we have gone from being ranked 159th 17 years ago, to easily one of the top 30 to 40 teams in the world. With a lot of young talent, and growing international attention which is bound to bring in Diaspora talent, we will only improve.

                  Idiot call by taking out Roman and the embarrassing own goal. We could have definitely won that. The FIFA group is going to be even harder to advance through, but still I'm proud of our team.

                    I have a question I was wondering if someone could answer for me
                    Is Marcos Pizzelli Armenian? I assumed he was full armenian, but I was told by a friend today that no, he is 100% Brazilian, and that he is simply on the national team because he played on the Armenian club and gained citizenship like that. However, on wikipedia it states that he Brazilian-Armenian, so I am somewhat confused. Is he Armenian at all? and if so is he pure Armenian?

                    • Re: Armenian Soccer

                      To my knowledge he is full Brazilian. It says Brazilian-Armenian because he has dual citizenship. He was given Arm. citizenship in order to be able to play. He's a good player though and happy to have him on our team.
