Read wondering what has happened to all the posters on the first page, don't think I have seen them in some time i.e Renfrew, Ally, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Occasionally used the wee cup if someone helped me out but an upvote was just as useful in those situations. The other 2 emoticons were unnecessary negatives, if you dont agree with someone have the balls to argue your case, not hide behind an emoji. A shame the laughing emoji got used on peoples replies that were serious so even that was used as a negative. I would say the upvote was the only one needed.

There are threads on the board that are humorous, its not all facts and serious discussions, the haha reaction was good to use in those situations. It was a total sledgehammer to crack a nut reaction( no pun intended 😊) to get rid of them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProudScot Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 That freak has basically fcuked this board, borderline ruined the Euros on here & im sure once the next qualifiers come round in a month we will see him back again to repeat his nonsense.

gkm_vancouver Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 I think it is a bit more than emojis that is putting people off. For me it is the pathetic mob mentality type threads - mostly in Football Related - where some folk seem obsessed in childish club slagging which seems more important to them than the main point of this thread...

thesaint Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 Guess the poor efforts at the euros have sickened a lot of people.People needed a break after all the euro hype.Maybe in a week or two some of the well kent faces will appear.Pretty desperate on here at the moment.

You might be onto something. It's like the Marvel Superhero fatigue. When you're hit with constant waves you find it hard to get excited. So a big break (because of Covid) was healthy. Same goes for Scotland, we got way more than we are used to then had a necessary big break. Once the next squad is announced I'm sure everyone will perk up again.

First game in two days of what is a crucial week,and it's still like a ghostown on the forum.Guess the euros attracted a lot of part timers,who lost interest after our poor results.So many posters who were on constantly during the euros,have been posted missing.Ah well.suppose it will be up to us old school guys to keep it going,as usual.

Is there just that much apathy due to us being gash for years or has this forum just died a death? We've all just given in and decided to be british now.

runningtings Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Aye its a slightly interesting point we are at now, not sure its really down to Clarke though to be fair. One of my mates who I don't think has ever been to a Scotland game before in his puff is taking his wee boy on Saturday, so would be nice to think that the next generation might start to take an interest.

KirkieRobRoy Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Worried about these games even before the squad became a Holby City episode, and not going on Saturday owing to Covid caution and hating late Saturday kick-offs. I'm still on here, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
