I find it funny, the u21s have gone three matches without scoring. We started the match against Croatia in a 4-3-3. Croatia went a goal up. When we came out at half time we went to 3-5-2... And we ended up winning 1:2. No one remember that? No. Thought not. https://www.tamb.net/forum/index.php?/topic/14228-scotland-u21-vs-san-marino-u21/&do=findComment&comment=537648

I'm not getting involved. As I said, his reaction is pretty much justified.

Nice.

You think so? I don't know. Trouble with the Celtic trio is we may never know how good they are. Staying in the SPL simply doesn't test players, that's why Arsenal had to haggle like crazy, for months, to get Tierney, as they simply couldn't tell how good he was.

Honestly? I doubt it. But as i said, people react different to being happy, so maybe you get angry when you're happy. I don't know. No. I genuinely was showing concern.

Why else do you think I showed concern for your wife/girlfriend? Because you were merry and in a light mood? No. I did it because you were being very hostile. Maybe you were at the end of your tether snd you were trying to bait me? I don't know. Hand on heart, though, I was genuinely concerned. I have a good self-moderation system. I have a pretty good temperament, online and off, so if I'm accused of losing my temper online, it's probably not true. I run more of a risk losing my cool in real life than I do on here. PS: And you were joking about me replying to "reactions to a thread", well, someone does genuinely follow me around reacting to each of my posts with smilies. Odds are, it's the exact same person. So weird.

You entered his thread and told him that there were other threads on the subject. He replied and then you asked him to translate what he said. That's not nice. Have you ever been falsely accused of having multiple accounts? Wait till you do, then you'll see how tolerant and Zen I truly am. Granted, but let's be honest, you thought that you were talking to me, so you were trying to take liberties, knowing that you'd face condescension instead of violence. Turns out, you were falsely accusing a stranger.nimsgine what would happen if you were out and about and you randomly picked on a stranger. Odds are, it wouldn't end with tea and crumpets.

Being made aware of the negative consequences of what could happen usually acts as a "cold shower" effect on people. Also, holding a mirror up to someone is often used, kinda like an intervention. You were very aggressive towards me and it seemed like every other word was an insult. Do I think that i miss-read your mood and you were actually happy and calm? No. But hell, people are different, we all react different to happieness.

Awww, thank you!! ☺️ Have you ever been falsely accused of something? (Try being falsely accused every frickin' day) Me? I don't mind. I just chalk it up the foibles of the human mind. But other people probably won't take it so merrily... And i think we got a taste of that at the weekend. You barged into his thread and insulted him and accused him of being someone else. Hell, Mrbiaboc (who has also been accused of being me) is level-headed and a bit of a pacifist, even he saidvyou barged into his thread looking for a fight. As I said at the weekend. The constant accusations in this place has to stop. I've literally lost count of who I'm supposed to be.

And yes, I've made condescension into a fine art. I'm good at it. Great, actually. But i swear, in that thread (the one that got personal), I wasn't being condescending, etc, I was seriously trying to help and i honestly thought you had blown a fuse. All I was doing was trying to talk you down.

No. I remember it like it was yesterday. You jumped into a thread, began insulting me for about an hour of so, you got tired of the bullets rebounding off me, so you left. I don't insult people online. Nor have i ever gotten angry with anyone online. Fine. I rub people up the wrong way. And you think jumping on Rscot's thread and saying what you did, doesn't? I got the impression Rscot was "rubbed up the wrong way".

Yes. I do deny it, 100% Why on earth would i try to rub anyone, the wrong way or otherwise? I express my opinion on here. Full stop. I honestly think you've forgotten about that thread. You did mention that you were drinking whiskey. As for me being serious? I spent the whole conversation trying to get you to calm down.

You wouldn't hit a man. So....

See? Devices like "show up", "they're laughing at you", "stop digging" or the classic "comedy gold" don't work on me, at all. They're just structural devices to attempt belittle someone by creating a clunky tangent. Try again.

Eh? Now you're saying that i said that you were an alcoholic and i feared for your wife? Ok. Because I thought you'd be violent when drunk? Do you want me to repost the thread and you'll see the things you called me, completely without warrant? "Spamming" would be making threads or posts that don't contribute or create a dialogue. That beingbthe definition, all my threads create healthy dialogue. As for you, you enter threads with intent to insult people and be rude. As I said, you're projecting. Right. Still no apology? I don't think I've ever entered a thread, with the purpose of insulting someone. Whether i agree with the sentiments of the thread or not. You need to grow up.

My definition of an "arsehole" is hiding in a thread with another scared little boy, and gissip like fishwives about a person being 10-50 different aliases on this place. You can't delete it. It's nice being under someone's skin and having them so pettrified that you're accusing me of being all sorts of people. Was so easy, too.

Amem, brother. He's a total keyboard warrior. Apparently he "feared for the life of his wife" because i said he was drunk and to enjoy the rugby. Doesn't take much to make him melt.

So, you were wrong to spam his thread, accuse him of being me and falsely accusing me of having multiple aliases? You haven't apologizes, so the only deduction from that is that you aren't sorry for spamming his thread. You must think he's me and that i have multiple aliases. And no. I don't condone the violence of his behaviour, but I'm sure as hell nt going to condemn it. You have a history of accusing people of bring me. Hell, your little buddy Farcity also accused Mrbiaboc of being me. What a shock, no apology was forthcoming. Rscot was correct in saying what he did. You would never say one hundrenth of the things you say to people on here, if you were face to face with them. And that's the truth. The net gives people courage, and you're the prime example. Is there a limit to how many threads one can make? You do realize that you don't own this place, don't you? Judging by your post count i think you've here since day one. Doesnt mean it's your own private playground. Fearing for your wive's safety? Dude. I spent the whole argument being insulted and pretty much laughing it off. You definitely have your facts wrong. You appeared drunk and we ended the conversation by my telling you enjoy the rugby. It's clear as day. Yeah. It does. It wouldnt surprise you? Do you know about behaviour reflection? It means, judging people by your own standards. Personally, i doubt anyone would have co-current aliases, as it's... Crazy. But that's just my opinion.

Not going to apologize to Rscot and I, for this one? https://www.tamb.net/forum/index.php?/topic/14627-today%E2%80%99s-starting-xi/&do=findComment&comment=550452 Your seventh comment (none of them on topic. All offensive) "I know he is TDK. It wouldn't surprise me if he or she had more profiles. Whether it's a he or she, it's still an arsehole" So tell me, how do you "know" that Rscot is me? Why wouldn't it surprise you if i had "more profiles"? And who is an "arsehole"? Rscot or me? That's three accusations in one sentence. Do you have any evidence to back any it up? I assume that you have evidence for me being Rscot, as you "know Rscot is TDK". Show me.

Yes. So says the guy who entered the thread of a newbie with the sole purpose of trolling it and spamming it, and oh yes, suggesting that I was that guy. Wasn't the first time, either. Did you apologize or admit that you were in the wrong? Not really. You entered a thread with little interest of contributing (which is very unlike you...) and yet you got a lot of petted lip when he called you on it. Did you have the "balls to hold your hands up to apologise"? Also, when i got "personal", it was very much in line with your behaviour. You were calling me every single insult under the sun. Did i fight fire with fire? Nah. There's lots of ways to skin a cat, unfortunately, for you, you did it with the subtlety of someone who had a glass of liquid protection. Really? On the weekend someone said "Ourr resident tactical expert admits to not watching Scottish football.. It shows". Which pretty much means that that person thinks Scottish football is tactically based. It's not. I agree. It's not difficult. Or are you sticking to your guns that you think he's one of my aliases? You spammed his thread, too. So that's two things you should apologize for.

Alright. How is it "clear" I'm "not a Scotland fan" ? Because I think the playoffs are a complete dead-rubber? And that we'd be better spending our time promoting a few kids from the youth teams instead of struggling on with players that have failed us, yet again? Because I want to SFA to get tough with domestic clubs in Scotland by introducing a homegrown rule? Because I think our second-rate central defenders are cannon fodder when they play in a two, at this level? Yes. Clearly not a Scotland fan. Well deduced. "Boring"!?!?!? MOI?!?! How DARE you insult my honour! I'll never get over that one. Ever.... Ok. I'm now over it.

Clearly it isnt, with you here. Bang goes the ceasefire, eh? Didn't last long.

I'd actually have Gilmour higher in the pecking order than Christie, Armstrong, McLean, etc. It's time for long term planning we need now. The sooner we begin introducing the kids, the better. I know that the u21s are struggling, with not scoring in three matches, but one are two are ready to step up.

Yep. Against West Ham. In fairness, he was any worse than his two defensive partners in that match. McTominay is not a centre back. He's not an anchorman, either. If you look at the stats they tell you that he's the most fouled player in the EPL and he's completed the most dribbles. His natural game is getting the ball and striving forward with it. He's an old fashioned box to box midfielder.

How is Armstrong "established"? He's in and out of an awful Southampton team, meanwhile, young Gilmour is making the bench of an exciting Chelsea team. Besides, it's at home to Kazakhstan, in a glorified friendly. If this isn't the chance to blood a youngster then when is?
