Nope, not trolling really. You could simply reply something like: "I disagree that it was a boring match. Passes were great etc. etc"
Instead, your reply was:
He made his opinions known about the match, which did not include any criticism of Barca or Arsenal, nor any personal attacks.
Your reply was to attack him as a "top 3 BPL team's troll". You could have argued his opinions but you chose to go personal instead.
-----------------------------------------------
Sorry for clogging your thread, but again, I feel like too many people get personal too quick.
As before, within the context of the result, I agree that Barca's performance was much better, but I was here to refute the contention made by some posters that the result would have certainly been the same if van Persie was not sent off. After all, Arsenal was playing at a slower pace and hoping for a late counter-attack, just like the first leg. The tactic was definitely blunted by the red card.
I am not blaming the ref, nor am I saying that if the red card was not served, Arsenal would definitely have won. I am saying that nothing was a foregone conclusion. Even if Barca continued to dominate, there was always a chance that the counter-attacking strategy would've paid dividends. Dani Alves' late mistake is proof that complete concentration is hard to maintain for 90 minutes even for the best players and that was what Arsenal was obviously banking on.
Apologies if anyone is annoyed by this subject being brought up again, but I discuss this without getting personal with anyone nor in an abrasive manner and discussion is free.

I was called a troll too on the Arsenal side and I didn't even though I didn't even make fun of them or what?
All I did was disagree with their opinions.
I have a long reply for an Arsenal fan who disagreed with my opinion but Ive been holding back cos
I dont want to be called a troll or any kind of names.
I dont understand why some fans here take it so seriously.
Im new to this forum, so I thought we could have a healthy discussion.
Heck I am an Ajax fan, lived in Rotterdam, and yet we could get along and talk about the teams without getting so serious
but they are more serious here.
The way some comments fly around here, it looks like it's goal.com.
Most of us here I believe are M'sians so why the need to fight over a team that has no attachements to us?
Jsut have fun.
We are all fans but we still can talk as long as you dont get personal.

You want some good replies to your opinion? You may try Liverpool thread. Haven't tried much with Man Utd and Chelsea thread though.
No fun troll in MUST, because if I post now, 30 minutes later my post will be pushed to 3rd last page. Too many posters liao. And I'm afraid of the infamous sheep jinx also
