Hi I set up Football Filter just 3 weeks ago. Was happy to see some feedback from people here, so thought i would sign up and say hello. Yeah the site is a digg clone, but personally it seems the best way to share links for football. Drood out of interest how would you do it - you say you would love the site but it's a digg clone? Would be interested to hear how you would change it to suit your tastes. And Folkways - i was wondering what you mean by getting a 2 digit number? Don't really understand the thinking behind that is. I totally agree that sports filter is better to use - i hope to improve the site one day, problem is i am pretty useless when it comes to the techy stuff. The one thing about my site is that i dont want to focus on just blogs, or just articles, I want to focus on anything football related that is entertaining while hopefully influencing people to look past just their favoured league and follow football in various international countries. I have always been interested in the Bundesliga, the Argentinian league and obviously la liga and Serie A, but struggle to find time to keep up to date with them. I hope that other people feel the same and find the site useful in opening them up to football across the globe. Any more feedback or suggestions you would be much appreciated, the only way I can develop it is to hear how other people slate it! I am biased so my opinion of it can only go so far, ha.!

Football Filter
Hi thanks for the comments again- I can appreciate what you are saying about the site, it does look rather horrible but I had to start somewhere, so I used pligg and I am hoping someday soon i will try and make it my own, got a few friends who are going to help me who have tech skills - i have none, so its an uphill struggle. As for it being an aggregator, it really isnt in a way. I still submit 90% of links and usually do about 2-3 hours a day mooching around looking for things worthwhile. the whole link farm thing is true tho - i intend to add more features but ability wise i am fucked, i have no clue how to hack it and make it my own or even make it look like its own site.....i jumped in at the deep end in the hope that i would eventually figure it out. however you are right, your hatred of digg has no bounds!what happened? we will see eh. as for people joining, thanks, i really appreciate it. If you are coming with little or no knowledge of football then I hope it persuades you to drop the American sports and embrace Football on a full time basis!ha.
