Welcome to the 2nd Annual GoalLegacy awards. This ceremony is proudly presented by the GL staff so in case you rage at anything, please feel free to abuse JD.

I would like to thank BarrileteCosmico who conducted the voting process. Without him, the awards wouldn’t have functioned so a massive thanks to him on behalf of the Admin team. I would also like to thank every single person who voted and took park in the organisation of the GoalLegacy Awards as it was some fantastic work overall and worked out really well.

With awards, you get both the winners and people who are not the winners (rumoured to be called losers?) however as being part communist and a strong believer in power to the people, we are all winners together in the end, so therefore please don’t be upset for not winning anything and if anyone gloats on their accomplishments, please feel free to report their posts as our new moderators often complain about lack of work.

On a more serious note, It’s really good to have lived another year on GL man. We can’t stress enough when we say that we absolutely love this place and the main reason is because of people like you who put in the effort to run this place as posters. We owe each and every one of you and we are thankful to have spent the last year with the amount of fun and laughs and of course talking about football. You all deserve massive congratulations.

With that, let me begin by the awards ceremony with a 30 day self-imposed exile period. See you all in a month.

No, just kidding (f u all for not giving me a single vote in the funniest poster awards)

----------------------------

Club section Awards.

First, let me do the honour of awarding the best posters in the club sections. The winners were chosen after very detailed analysis thanks to Michael Cox the moderators, and with me being the best of judges and the fairest of all; I hope no one has any problems with the winners. And to make them as fair as possible, I have not nominated an Admin or Moderator for the club section awards apart from Kick who joined recently so he doesn't count.

2nd Place: Casciavit

The best new poster of the year goes to.. El Shaarawy!

There were many excellent new posters last year and the voting was ever so close however El Shaarawy pips his Milan teammate to the award. He has been a great poster over the year. Whether it’s off topic or football, his posts are full of quality and a guy who is a great friend of many in here. A well-deserved award.

3rd Place: Dostoevsky
2nd Place: Mclewis

And the most unbiased poster of the year goes to.. The Franchise!

There are posters who put their agendas as foremost in most debates. Then there are posters like The Franchise. If someone deserves credit, Franchise will give it, even if it’s a rival team. Even if it’s about Ronaldo!!! That’s all there is to say. He doesn’t base his opinion on folklore or hype but from what he sees and what he straight out thinks. A well-deserved award. Congrats!

Third Category: Who is the Funniest/Wittiest Poster of the Year?

3rd Place: Vibe
2nd Place: Lex

If someone displaces Lex in the funniest poster of the year, he deserves massive props.

He is the walking sticklibrary of football. He can debate about any subject related to football or off topic. He can school you with words of wisdom. That is Franchise. With an amazing insight about football he really is the best debater around and of course an intelligent poster who usually talks sense (unless it’s about Cesc, then he isn’t very intelligent) and someone you can talk to hours about anything. Congrats!

The best Thread of the year goes to…Official GL Betting Thread

It’s been a relatively new thread but I can understand why it has won the award. Massive thanks to M99 for starting it. The betting thread is both fun and often a curse. You are tempted to put in a bet and then you regret it later. But that’s the fun part! Long may it continue! Imagine if I start a GL currency just for this thread?

Eight Category: Most Controversial/Coolest Thread of the Year?

3rd Place: Busquets: “I am tired of Madrid’s tears”
2nd Place: Benzema is a joke thread

The most controversial thread of the year was… The Balon d’Or thread!

It certainly was controversial. At times we had to play rock paper scissors to decide who has to moderate that thread. It became interesting, awful, trollish and back to interesting. It was definitely controversial and perhaps the most interesting in recent times too.

What can you say about MT? He has been absolutely immense over the year. His contributions all around the forum has been insane. He is the guy you rely on in the transfer period. He has an opinion on most things and he isn’t afraid to use it. A guy who has a heart of gold. Will NEVER talk shit about another club. He is universally admired. A people’s champion. We hope to have his services for years to come. Congrats man. You fully deserve the award

-------------------------

This concludes the awards evening. I hope you enjoyed it and sorry for not making it as grand as I hoped. Just not been good few weeks but I hope I make a better one for next year.

Dani's so good he took the top two places in one category.

Congratulations to all the winners!

Dani was able to convince me that Valdes isn't a shit goalkeeper afterall. Best debate I've had on this forum. Top guy!

I wasn't even shortlisted.
farce like balon d'or.






















Congrats to all the winners!

*didn't even know the awards were on*   

Dani man, I'm so happy for you.

Some of you know I take this place just as serious as my life and do my best to be genuine and heartfelt. I wasn't as active over this last year and you guys still showed me love. Maybe I'm more happy than I should be for winning an award on a internet forum, but I really do appreciate it. I fell in love with this place soon after joining up and it's been like a second family to me. I've grown so much over these last couple of years and I honestly believe many of you have played your role. Thank you

Also proud for my homie CB, RG, Papa Tom, El Shaarawy, Casc, and Dante.

P.S.

Spoiler:

Botric Love him so much.

And congrats to all the winners.

Awesome write up RG and congrats for all the winners. Another great year in GL, next year though that Inter member of year award is mine -.-

Main man RG that's reminiscent of Morpheus' ceremony. Fantastics write up Congratz to all the winners, fully deserved.

Although McAgger snub continues. Gonna come back stronger for next season's awards.

MT

Thread of the year

3rd place out of 3 in the United section

Moyes can only dream of such an achievement

Good job RG

My man MT deserves it all

Superb effort, RG
Not quite enough to earn you any Funniest Poster votes next time either, I reckon, but a damn good try, mate.


Congrats to all the winners, well deserved!

Cas

Spoiler:

Fantastic write up RG  Also great job from BC on creating the voting process

Have to say, Dost and Forza deserve to be 2nd/3rd in Best Milan poster category (Not in that  order necessarily). They're waaaaaay more deserving imo.

Anyways, congrats to all the winners



MT

Congrats to the winners!  

And great job, RG!

Congratulations to all the winners, a special congratulations to Dom, RG, Tom, ES and MT.



Yohan Modric winner of the 2013 GL d'or

All of the winners were more than worthy. Stop being so humble you scrubs

Amazing year full of amazing moments with amazing posters.

You lads are GL.

Never forget that.

Thanks guys

you scrubs take your awards and gloat ffs. What is this poverty humbleness

Appreciate it people, I thought by now I would have alienated enough people to no longer win these awards.

Congrats to the rest of winners, well deserved in the cases I am familiar with.

good job putting it all together

congrats to the winners

"he probably has been the best" poster, really, RG? 'Probably'?

What's with the casual dismissiveness? 'ooh, I don't know, probably, who cares about those fools down there in the lower sections'... aha aha.. I see... I will remember...

Plus more than posting in the Bayern section I've been trolling the Arsenal one, and guess what, I was 'probably' the best troll there. Where's my award for that? Eh?

Make no mistake, you'll get yours, you losers, come wednesday.
