Andy North Croy Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Anyone think the TAMB has outlived it's purpose? Speaking about this recently to some ex-regulars and to be honest I'm surprised someone of my calibre still posts... Discuss........

Khana Lagur Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Anyone think the TAMB has outlived it's purpose? Speaking about this recently to some ex-regulars and to be honest I'm surprised someone of my calibre still posts... Discuss........ (the demise, not my calibre) It's different, certainly. If you go back to the days of Scott Kelly's/Ezzy's board there were only about 500 members and many of them knew each other as they were the core of the away support. It was terrific for travel info and tips etc and there was certainly less hostility and petty disagreements. An increase in the member numbers on this incarnation is bound to increase the diversity of opinion and number of arguments. It still serves a purpose but like most people as they get older, they generally see things from a previous perspective. Is that her 'you want a square go?' face or her coming face.

Orraloon Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 It's like anything else playing fitba, sex, boozin. When folk get too auld for it they just give it up. Auld yins like Mario and managed to keep going to a ripe old age but even they seem to have given up now. Sadly missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giblet Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Been with the TAMB since the days of Ezzy, was more of a lurker in the early days. Yes its changed, but so has the make up of the Tartan Army itself. There is always peaks and troughs in quality, I do think it has been consumed a bit by politics, understandably in the last couple of years. Anything goes does still produce the odd gem though, love seeing the diversity of knowledge amongst us on topics ranging from environment, economy and science. If you pick your threads carefully, its still a far too interesting place that has taken me away from far too much work. A major difference now is that more of us are conversing on the likes of twitter and facebook alongside the TAMB and this waters down the debate a bit. What I will say is that if a major story breaks, I will see it on twitter, then immediately get onto here to see what people are saying. Despite our differences, for the amount of "healthy debate" that ensues, the amount of times people step over the line is few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hoodster Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Been on the board since the Ezzy days, about 15 years? Obviously the world has moved on, Facebook, Twitter, trip advisor, a truly global internet, wall to wall live football on TV, the monstrous commercialisation of the SFAs relationship with Scotland fans. What made the board truly useful years ago has probably passed, but I still like to come on here and pick up bits and pieces about trips etc. Never really been interested in the arguments, I'm still bemused that grown men would sit at a keyboard and bicker like fook about things for page after page as though their opinion mattered to anyone other than themselves. Would have been great if the board could have mobilised fans to reject the way the SFA has manipulated the passion we have for the national side to their commercial gain with outrageous gouging in the form of inflated ticket prices, admin fees, SSC membership fees and poor service. That said the Khraigh saga was one of the best things that has ever happened on the Internet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
