Matchday Thread Guidelines
We don’t have quite a lot of guidelines right here, however there are some things to bear in mind when becoming a member of our matchday threads:
Even when the referee sucks or we lose the sport, watch the swearing. It’s simply pointless. Additionally, don’t talk about unlawful streaming hyperlinks. Those that do it is going to be warned, and people who publish hyperlinks will probably be immediately banned. Lastly, be good to one another. This can be a Barcelona group and we don’t have to offend each other.
Have enjoyable with the sport! Ceaselessly and ever, irrespective of the competitors, VISCA EL BARÇA!
