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.

    EURO 2016 DRAW

    Armenia lands in GROUP I:
    Portugal, Denmark, Serbia, Armenia, Albania (France as host is the 6th team as part of a new rule, but their games will count as friendlies, and they won't be ranked in the group).

    Armenia drawn into what is probably the group of death

    POT ONE 6th team (out of 9)
    POT TWO 4th team
    POT THREE 1st team
    POT FIVE 3rd team

    only solace is that the pot 1 team is not untouchable, and that there's a realistic chance to get points out of portugal. Also Armenia decimated Denmark on their turf, and played an even match with them at home despite missing most of its best players. But Serbia just kills us. Out of the many POT3 teams that we were better than, i.e Turkey, we got a team clearly better than us. Another plus is no POT6 to f*ck up against.

        Nope. Word was supposed to come Monday according to an earlier semi-official deadline, but that passed with no news. For a few days there was a lot of news about Segio Markarian, but that has cooled down now. We should hear something soon though

                  It wouldn't have been as disappointing if they hadn't prolonged the process so much, or if Sergio Markarian wasn't out there, or if it hadn't been reported in December that the reputable Uruguayan had been hired. Comparing him to some of the coaches of teams comparable to us like Slovenia and Scotland, he isn't horrible. Not a guy we'd been dreaming of, but I would think a step above Minasyan. He has won the Swiss league once, and he led the Swiss U-21 to the UEFA semis in 2002. The one positive also is that he has experience developing Youth team and Armenia's youth teams are in dire need of that. However, he has zero senior experience, and also he doesn't speak English or Russian, so I don't know how he's gonna communicate with the players.

                    Yeh Mher he sounds like a good coach for my son's soccer team but coaching seniors is totally different because you are dealing with pros. The truth is this guy has never had this kind of experience so this will be a learning experience for him especially with the language barrier. At this point i was under the impression that we have a competitive team and getting a experienced coach was the missing link to gell it together and get us into the elite tournaments-guess not..

                      haha I'm trying to make myself feel better, don't spoil that with the truth. There was so much potential if they could have landed a great coach. With the talent available in the Diaspora, with the need to develop the current talent, you could have had such an impressive team with the right coach
