faddyisyerdaddy Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 So, why give them it? Good question. I would turn it around and say that if they weren't getting the reactions they crave they probably wouldn't appear on the board at all.

WeeBarrysGotAnMBE Posted September 23, 2014 Author Share Posted September 23, 2014 If you are going to do an open "J'Accuse" thread on the TAMB Barry you have to be specific. Are you perhaps talking about in the immediate hours after the No? When people on here were heartbroken and devastated? I hope not as that would be very poor from you. Do you really want us to examine what appears of FF and RM on a daily basis 365 days a year which you are silent on? Shall we go get the posts that can be found on there every day? Sunlight is the best disinfectant and the Tamb has no fear of it. I have no idea when they were posted, but they are clear for all to see so that would suggest it was pretty recent. I'm sorry but what on Earth have Rangers or my opinion of other messageboards got to do with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rossy Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 What part of sticking the boot into "No" voters is going to persuade them to vote for independence in the future? The sort of No voters on this board are Loyalists....their twisted political views are tied up with the team they support. There's not a snowball's chance in hell that any of them would consider voting yes, ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShedTA Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Eh? The title of the thread is about encouraging different opinions. That's not what his original post was about. It was purely about having a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, things were reasonably OK on here until the loyalist scumbags...and let's face it, they were Rangers fans....decided to have their wee party on Friday night. Given that quite a few of the No supporters on here just happen to be loyalist Rangers fans...and their lack of condemnation has been telling....it's hardly surprising there's been a reaction.

I've been banned from Follow Follow for years and can't admit to being a regular contributor anyway. The events of Friday night were a disgrace, and unfortunately all too predictable. They have nothing to do with my argument though. With important games coming up, I'd like to think the views of some on here are not represented throughout our support.

thplinth Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 (edited) Why do we (the Yes camp) hold ourselves up to so much scrutiny when they (the No camp) are so thinly veiled?

Given that quite a few of the No supporters on here just happen to be loyalist Rangers fans...and their lack of condemnation has been telling....it's hardly surprising there's been a reaction. This isn't a Rangers thing (I actually support an SPL club) but I think what happened on Friday was pretty tame when you consider the gravity of what was at stake. The streets have been swamped for weeks with inyourface tribal and antagonistic Yes backers with all their paraphernalia and after having their empty message shoved down your throat day in day out ,after the relief of the final vote (to the majority of us) you do want to let off some steam and shout from the rooftops that salvation has come. Some individuals went too far but I can understand the passions inflamed in them. As far as the flagburning goes, the same thing happened to the Union flag in the very same place the day before and the Nazi salute thing, excuse me for my possible naivety but wasn't that the Ulster hand 'no surrender' gesture? Nobody needed to have got hurt though , we're all scottish together just as we were all before and will continue to be regardless of the outcome so lets stop dividing ourselves, democracy has spoken so give it some dignified respect and lets go on living in peace and stop this fratricidal shit.
