It's nothing about 'letting people get you you' it's the principle if you want to watch the final 'put up and shut up' speak afterwards. Show some courtesy and let the players concentrate. As for those who want to have banter and a laugh, the creche is down the corridor on the right.

Jesus Christ! You associate having banter and a laugh as being childish? I think you'll find it's exclusively the people on this site with no banter that are the dummy spitters!

No, banter and having a laugh is fine, just there's a time and a place which is not during a FINAL which both players mainly have worked up too. (unless they got byes all the way, unlikely)

I'm all for having a laugh and some banter. Nice try Stu.

Well, no, that's exactly the point. If it isn't getting to you, then what reason is there to stop people from talking in the game room?

If it is getting to you (which I'm fairly certain it is with you), then, as I've stated a couple of times in this thread, you need to look at your own playing ability instead of blaming others because they are typing some words.

Buy a ruler/ nick a ruler from a kid you know's pencil case.

Place said ruler along the bottom of the screen of laptop when you don't want to see chat box.

Job done.
