A great deal of the posting on the thread is wildly hypocritical, spiteful and self serving.  There is also this echo chamber element to so much of it.

It irritates me.

 

If highlighting that strikes you as tragic, I'd say that's odd.

If it irritates you so much then why bother reading it.

Hmmm, something on an irrelevant thread on a football forum is annoying me, I'd best read that and well er become irritated.

Pointless.

The middle classes absolutely hate football supporters and see us all as bigoted vermin, regardless of whether you support the OF or not. The reaction isn’t surprising.

He's not going to get any attention by ignoring it FFS [emoji23]

You honestly are an absolute fucking p***k.

Good point.

Have you raised it with all those searching for the latest message from Deepti or JL?

Ok, let me correct myself. You’re worse than that. I can’t actually see that you have much of an opinion on any of it. 

You’re far more interested in sneering at the thread and making yourself feel like you’re superior to people. It’s quite tragic really. 

There is an attitude towards this thread all across the site, even from folk who come on and contribute to it. What they all have in common, is relentless defence of the SNP, and little in the way of evidence based opinion on the path/way out of the pandemic.

I'd suggest there is a difference between looking at prose from government advisors etc that have a degree of influence on how our lives are being impacted, as opposed to becoming irritated at the words of anonymous posters on a Scottish Football forum.

Indeed.

It's pretty much the lifeblood of this thread.

Over the past hour you have posted a few times. Nothing about Covid, just the posters here. 

As has been said elsewhere, if you find the people here to be not worth your time, why post on this thread at all? 

[Clown Job]

Sorry to bang on about this but come on tae f**k

It’s very different to ignore the postings on a thread like this, by a crowd of folk giving opinions, than to ignore someone who is a government adviser and potentially having an impact on day to day life.

You can tell Leitch was jumping with delight at those numbers today. Absolutely fucking guarantee he felt vindicated.

My wee dad is disabled, the only time he gets out the house without my mum really is when I take him to football. Of course I try get him other places, but because he’s in a mobility scooter he (in my opinion needlessly) gets embarrassed and thinks people stare etc. So I get him to as many Bankies games as possible. The benefit for him is amazing, no one judging him or giving him grief for having a mobility scooter (people in shops etc have made comments in the past and eroded his confidence and in turn his independence). Obviously we had a season where he couldnt get to a game along with everything else and the toll on him was enormous. 
To get back to getting out, his wee escape from the world meant a lot to him and to have it snatched away potentially beyond the 17th Jan is disgraceful as there is absolutely no evidence to support it. 
Im sure there will be people all over Scotland in a similar position to my dad, where getting out to the game is their wee escape. All these sneering arseholes who say ‘oh go a walk up a hill instead’ or ‘watch it on tv’ and think just because life is easy for them that their solutions should be everyone else’s solutions can genuinely go and take a f**k to themselves. 
These people propelling themselves to a self professed superiority, oh how better they are. Whats the point in living if you can’t have a life? Erode everything and just sit in the house getting your kicks being all superior to people with concerns? f**k the lot of them. If this is the ‘righteous fair welcoming wee country’ that the SNP want to create they can go shove it right up their farter because they’ve fucked it. If you cant even get basic compassion right then you dont have a righteous fair welcoming society. 
 

I've often made the same argument about Bookmakers shops on the high street, these places are sometimes the only place where some of the older chaps can go and meet their pals for a blether or even just a coffee and chat with the guys /lassies who work in the shop, similar to the football, the gambling side of it is secondary and it's much more about the social interaction that some without this, just wouldn't have.

I noticed she changed her language from last week, which said “a period of up to three weeks” to “at least three weeks” today. She’s a fucking charlatan. She can get fucked. 

She's the only one I know.........

Colin sound like the sort of guy who likes to host Dinner parties, likes a bit of rugger and is never ever wrong about anything.

As for "football exceptionalism".............

Chance you got?

NB tweets now protected, probably confused and upset about the nasty untermensch football twitter "pilling on"

Much better.

You hardly stamped your foot at all when composing that one.

Ok, but your point was 'why read things you find irritating?'

Substitute messages from Deepti and JL, with all the quoted replies to tweets and articles by anonymous members of the public, for the point to still stand.
