Most posters on here don't have this attitude. But a hardcore minority do. What a load of facile shite. Thinking that some of the comments on here were over the top in predicting this player's stardom, does not equate to self loathing at all. Simply saying it does, does not render that so, I'm afraid. Away you go with your excitable, juvenile nonsense. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Gilmour haters"! Seriously? That's how you wish to characterise those saying 'Steady on. Let's wait and see before getting too carried away'. I'm a big fan of Gilmour. I love the way he plays. He's exactly what Scotland needs and is very promising. Questioning whether he really will in fact be bossing Real Madrid's midfield within the next few months, however, must mean instead that I hate the guy. it's beyond pathetic. Some growing up is needed. Edited September 5, 2022 by Monkey Tennis 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much point arguing with him about it, really. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your saying that "you" couldn't possibly give an opinion. Until you have watched him for 2 seasons. Your saying you don't believe me, Im saying your a clueless judge of a footballer. Let's see who's right On 05/07/2021 at 14:07, BingMcCrosby said: of course its not ridiculous you could tell someone would be world class after a few games. Or even one, sometimes its just blindingly obvious. I've done it and got it right loads of times. And I dont consider myself to be some expert talent spotter. The people arguing you can't do it maybe just don't understand football. Edited September 5, 2022 by 2426255 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Predictions are usually based on at least some evidence, that makes the prediction have some likelihood of being correct. There are so many variables in the life of any footballer, beyond simply being talented, that effect how good they’ll become, that predictions made right now are basically so near to being guesswork that they are basically useless nonsense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted September 5, 2022 Share Posted September 5, 2022 I love it when people make predictions on limited evidence and then get all defensive when it doesn't pan out according to plan. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres certainly an element of gilmour hating on here tho, which probably comes from who he used to play for. It would be the same if he used to play for celtic also. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your third paragraph is almost a direct quote from me a couple of pages ago. If you want to get philosophical on it is every post on here not in essence pointless. This is a discussion board for football tho, so discussions on the ability of a player is the kind of thing you might expect to see is it not? Also everyones idea of evidence is going to be different isn't it, because your not convinced doesn't mean there is no evidence. Its opinions, whats the big deal with being excited about a young player. Edited September 5, 2022 by BingMcCrosby 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye cool, but I think its absolutely obvious that 99.9% of people who know of Billy Gilmour in Scotland would consider him an ex rangers player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You accused me of much not liking him for that reason iirc, despite not ever slagging him off, only questioning how somebody can be deemed world class after a few games. I would be saying the about any Celtic player or ex youth product breaking through and people making such claims. I think people just got carried away it’s really as simple as that for me.
