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.

  • Re: Armenian Soccer

    Armenia 2 - Bulgaria 1
    Finely a win at home. Not the prettiest game but it never is against the vulgar Bulgarians whose dirty playing style finely caught up to them with two of their players being ejected. That loss to Malta is really biting us in the ass now.

      We play Italy today in the last match of this wc qualifiers. We still have a remote chance to qualify if we win today in Italy but that alone is a remote chance so..

        Armenia ties Italy in Italy 2-2. Not bad against the world no1 team in their yard but it still means we do not go to Brazil . This was a good game and it was Bolateli that saved the Italians from a 2-1 loss. Our coach still sux but we have some good players in our starting lineup with our hero Yura coming through for us time and again. Was a interesting campaign and i can't wait till we try for the Euro.

          Offensively, Armenia is really coming into its own. Defense is another story.

          If only Armenia had beaten Malta the second time and at least held Denmark to a draw in Yerevan!

            What we need is a good coach but thats not gonna happen..I love Yura he is just fantastic player. We have some reasons to be optimistic about our NT but our under 21 needs an attitude adjustment they play like they are afraid. Wealso need to build dept at all positions.

              I agree. Haroyan, who is also on the U-21 was/is awful. He blew it against Denmark and against Italy yesterday. I have also watched the U-21's before and they play scared- just like the national side used to play- playing for the tie instead of the win.

              Yura is world class and I would be not be surprised if several Serie A scouts were there to watch him and evaluate. He's big, strong, fast, fluid, fearless and would be an asset to any side he's on.

                Haroyan is not awful-he is very raw. This guy will be the best defender Armenia has ever had but this is his first campaign with the big boys. The mistakes he made were because of inexperience and poor coaching but he has a lot of talent and the fearless instinct to defend. The second yellow he got in the game you mention is because of the stupid coach that we have who allowed him to stay in the game after the first yellow knowing that he is a raw, aggressive, inexperienced player who is likely to get that second yellow. What i do not understand is the horrible passing by some of our players-they pass the ball like this is the very first time they have ever attempted a pass. Honestly it reminds me of how the kids on my 9 year old son's team pass the ball.
                It was Ian Porterfield that instilled a winning attitude into our team and it is players like Yura who continue that tradition but unfortunately our younger teams have not had such leadership and do not have a winning attitude.

                  Wrong.

                  Haroyan has been very good during the qualification cycle. His blunder during the Denmark game doesn't change that.

                    Well looks like VM is out and Rubo has a chance to actually hire a qualified coach. Lets hope he gets someone good with experience this time.
