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 hope so, Mher.

    Unfortunately, the group Armenia has been stuck in for WC qualification is really tough.

    The state of football is still a far cry from the good old Soviet days but I am hoping that the recent success isn't a fluke and that the country experiences a renaissance.

      Ya I think unless we see multiple excellent performances in a row, the WC is a lost cause. Coming into the group, I thought we would need 5-7 points out of the first 3 games to have a realistic chance and we only got 3. The Italy game, the first goal was a BS penalty call, and we controlled much of the middle part of the game. We could have easily at the very least come out with one point. The Bulgaria game was a huge under performance also. Sako Hovsepyan with allowing the goal and then getting himself kicked out. The only consolation is that Denmark has underperformed and there have been some very favorable results for us in the other group matches.

      I think Euro 2016 is a much more realistic goal now, and something we should certainly qualify for, now that the field has been expanded from 16 team to 24.

      The most positive aspect is, all of our best players are in the early parts of their career and will be around for another decade and will only improve, and will keep the team at a respectable level for a while, attracting new talent from the diaspora, and inspiring new talent from within the country.

        Well, in 2011 the game against Slovakia was kinda the turning point, so maybe -- hopefully -- the team will perform similarly against the Czech Republic.

          I think the turning point was with Mr Porterfield. What he did for our team was to make the players believe they had a shot to win and that was very different from playing for a tie mentality that predominated armenian football all the years before. There is still a lot of football to be played in this wc qualifier and anything can happen. I would like to beat the crap out of the bulgarians just to show their racist sob fans that their bully team aint got sheet for talent.

            FIFA allows Artem Khachaturov to play for Armenian national soccer team


            YEREVAN, January 25. / ARKA /. Former defender of Moldovan national
            youth soccer team and Tiraspol Sheriff FC, Artem Khachaturov, received
            on Friday the official permission from FIFA to play for the Armenian
            national team.

            Armenian Football Federation said it received an official letter from
            FIFA, which says that Khachaturov now has the right to play for the
            national team. In his turn Khachaturov said he is looking forward to
            his first match for the national team.

            "I was very happy when I learned that all the issues were sorted out,
            and now I can play for the Armenian team. I've been waiting for this
            day, and now my dream has come true,' he said.

            He said he always watched the performances of the Armenian national
            team and is looking forward to his début.

            Artem Khachaturov was invited to play in the friendly match versus
            Luxembourg, which will be held on February 5th. -0-

                Artem Khachaturov is a defender, which is just what Armenia needs.

                Guys, Armenia has had some success recently but I have to say I'm getting more and more optimistic about the team. There seems to be an increasingly strong will to win, to bring in youth and vitality; to not be satisfied with tying good teams but attacking and beating them. They're getting closer and success breeds more success- just like Armenian forces in Artsakh.
