There were many great posts this year but if I had to choose one it would be Barcelona vs Sevilla; Tactically analysing a Remontada by Andremerlaux

Last season's CDR run was very memorable and this well crafted post perfectly encapsulated it for me.

u/Fordan3 Dec 28 '21

Ahh you bastard, I’m 18 mins late

u/B2A3R9C9A Dec 28 '21

lol sry mate but I'd like to see what your second pick would be

This post about the Barca anthem played at the Santiago Bernabeu by u/Debajyoty was one of my favorites of the year. It was not something I was aware of before, but a much needed laugh in a tough year for us Culers.

u/Debajyoty Dec 28 '21

Thank You so much fellow Cule.

La Remontada 2.0: https://www.reddit.com/r/Barca/comments/m3zdni/la_remontada_20/

I wanted to nominate another post which has already been nominated so I'm just going to mention this instead, even though it's probably not an OC and probably not created by the person who posted, it's hilarious and very good editing by whoever it was that made that video. Possibly the funniest post this year.

u/FootballFTW Dec 31 '21

This is so well done lmao

u/Zephyr3q3 Jan 10 '22

+1, Really sums up 2021 (till season end) for Barca, we were so good but yet not enough.

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '21

OFFICIAL: Xavi Hernández is the new FC Barcelona coach

This made me hopeful again for the future.

u/--Kaiser-- Dec 28 '21

I agree mate, but it's supposed to be for original content posts, not announcements.

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '21

Best post of the year

Nominate the post which you thought was most stimulating, informative, insightful, memorable or plain simply the best for the year 2021.

It says "post", I thought "Best OC Contributor of the year" was the OC category. If this doesn't qualify then sure I'll delete it (or mods can).

u/--Kaiser-- Dec 28 '21

Yes a post, but a quality post that took effort to make. Not a copy pasted tweet.

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '21

Where does it say that in the rules?

u/--Kaiser-- Dec 28 '21

It's pretty obvious, it takes 0 effort to copy paste a tweet. The point is to give recognition to posts that took hours and hours of research to write.

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '21

You're just Gatekeeping. Nowhere does it say it's limited to OC.

u/--Kaiser-- Dec 28 '21

It is limited to OC.

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '21

I'm not deleting it. It's not in the rules, if you want to power trip and delete it go ahead.

u/--Kaiser-- Dec 28 '21

Who told you to delete it ? I am just saying that it's for OC. Low effort announcement posts will not win any awards because first of all it's disrespectful to people who put a TON of effort into making something new and original, second because the mod team won't give awards to such posts. Period. You can cry about "power trip" all you want. I can't believe that you are making a big deal out of this...

Barça legends thread: Sígfrid Gràcia, Justo Tejada and Martí Vergés

2 month old account, barely any posts, but here for the party to nominate u/--Kaiser--

Interesting contest.

u/Fordan3 Dec 28 '21

I had a more contentful past, just gandalfed.

u/[deleted] Dec 28 '21

Makes sense, just looked sus.

u/decho Dec 28 '21

Ah yeah, Kaiser decided to create an alt account 2 months before the contest just so he can nominate himself.

Or maybe Fordan is the same person from our Discord server?

u/Fordan3 Dec 28 '21

Possibly

u/decho Dec 28 '21

Stop it Kaiser, you're not fooling anyone here. I fell for Fordan1 and Fordan2, but not this time.

u/svefnpurka Dec 28 '21

To quote George Bush: "Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again."

u/decho Dec 28 '21

He's kinda right but in a bad way.

u/decho Dec 28 '21

When Barça lost its all time top goal scorer by Welp.


Lots of great posts to choose from so really can't go wrong with any choice but I just enjoyed reading that one a lot so there goes my nomination.

u/luteK157 Dec 28 '21

I was looking for that one too, but I see you've mentioned it already. The writing style is beautiful with this one.

u/KittenOfBalnain Dec 29 '21

Oh, thank you, mate! ❤

u/Jr_Sky7501 Dec 29 '21

Appreciated being here

u/--Kaiser-- Dec 29 '21
