I bet you are the kind of guy that sits in the corner of the pub while all your 'mates' are chatting and fact check their conversation. You are a terrible bore who loves to be right all the time so continually corrects posters on trivial facts. Yes, you are right, but does it really make any difference to the general thrust of my post which was there are some really talented players breaking through? No. Does it add anything to the topic discussed? No. Is it well received? No. If there was a mute button I'd use it on you. Before you post next time, maybe you want to think about how you come across on this forum as it has already been pointed out to you that your current approach is unwanted and uninteresting. -4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordopolis Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 There is a mute function on here, feel free to use it.Craig, I appreciate your knowledge and it's good to keep things factual. But come on.The guy posted a lengthy list of young players, having obviously taken time to put it together, simply to share with fellow Scotland fans.You come in, ignoring all that, and point the finger down at an inaccuracy.No effort to acknowledge both the pros and cons, e.g. "thanks for this, but..." Just going straight for the error like it's some sort of trophy.Have a look at yourself. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 It's one of the most basic interactions on the internet, someone makes a mistake and someone else corrects them for it. It happened to me on the other thread today. I'm not sure why it warranted the sort of reaction it did, it wasn't rude, it wasn't offensive, it didn't belittle the other poster in any way, it was just a quick comment underneath. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats why - in my opinion - the best contributors on here are those who know how to apply a dash of charm or humour to express their point instead of just issuing one blunt dismissal after another. It also helps open up the debate instead of shutting it down. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also helps open up the debate instead of shutting it down. To be fair, and on reflection, it was an overreaction from my side and I apologise for that. It did come across exactly as you describe though and it’s frustrating because I know from personal experience that it discourages some from posting or engaging in discussion. I lurked on here for years before posting because I didn’t want to have interactions like that. You might say that is a little bit sad but the human psyche is a complex thing. I’m sure we all, including me, can do better. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, I think the reaction in this situation is overblown. I would probably thank you for correcting a factual inaccuracy. Many people just don't like their errors being pointed out and take it as a personal attack. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Detournement Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) Owen James Brown is the man to follow for the youth teams. Two boys named Mackenzie presumably inspired by The Office credits and a lad named after a Doctor Who character.

Detournement Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Another top attacking prospect. Regardless of Gilmour's true level there is only so much a player in his position can do to win a match. Real quality in the final third is what Scotland have badly lacked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delighted to see Bowie back in the squad. Seems to be doing really well at Northampton. Hopefully he’s not far off the full squad come 2024. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made his England 21s debut last year I think it was and with him in and around the Newcastle squad now i thought that was the last we would see of him in a Scotland shirt. Also pleased to see Doak in there. As i've mentioned previously, from the matches/clips I've saw he's the one for me that could finally be our 'diamond' in the coming years 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordopolis Posted September 8, 2022 Share Posted September 8, 2022 Interesting and encouraging to see Doak and Rory Wilson in the squad, given both are well underage for the group 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
