Paintball Snobs?

[TonyF]

I have met and know of a few of these type now. Anyone else notice how they are on the increase?
They are so easy to spot.

1. They will be someone who has left a team to join a team with a pro squad.
2. They will get to pot biach for the pro team once or twice and immediatly think they are as good as them.
3. Slag off every other non- Pro team and any pro team that has beat theirs!
4. Slag off any event they are not entered in.

Ring any bells?

Maybe you know one as well.

Could be the start of the great divide of paintball.

Seems like someone has a bee in their bonnet about losing their front players to another team

Good point well made. It must be Pinki Tony is talking about. The snob was just trying to throw us off the sent!

No one in particular

This was not aimed at anyone in particular, or any team.
It was really just a light hearted observation.
Strange how the "real" pro players are a nice bunch of young, well adjusted gents and thier wannabes conduct themselves in a less than acceptable manner.

Oooooooh sour grapes!!!!

I certainly hope that comment wasn't directed at me. I make a point of playing any Tournament I intend to slag off, ooops I mean criticise. Seen some of you at the PA

This is going to inevitable at this time of year as players move on. It may well put some teams under pressure, but really it's evolutionary forces. There's already too many teams, and consolidation into bigger squads puts emphasis on the individual to improve. Not only that, but less teams means playing select events thus forcing promoters to offer a better customer experience to retain customers.

No bee here mate, the boys were over mine at the weekend, and will be seeing them again this weekend.
It was the right move for them, I told them that mid season when the offers started coming in!
They are family, after all.

As I say just an observation, I was bored and got to thinking.....not a good thing for me to be doing.

I often laugh at the "Pro" players on these boards. I dont mean actual Pros, I mean the players who talk the talk, give the advise, and then you find out they are 13 and play for a local team from deepest Mongolia. You will notice that the top end Pros hardly post. Probably wise.
