There was a lot of poorly thought out positive rubbish regarding Billy Gilmour with posters foaming at the mouth asserting he was world class. I waded into that.

The common thread if you want to find a link between my posting habits is a lack of objectivity and/or thought and folk getting carried away. I don't have big problem with that if that's their fun and they feel the need to gush or vent, however it amuses me to call them on it and see what happens...heh.

Is that helpful?

Fair enough.

You've been right on the Gilmour front.  Some of the reaction to a couple of promising displays was ridiculous.

This is maybe the most depressing thing I've read on these boards.
Joy be damned.

That's the point. It's people getting carried away, not thinking or taking a wider view. The Billy Gilmour thread & the Time to go Steve Clarke are two of my favorite threads to hang around and snipe in while @KingRocketman II and @BingMcCrosby are two of my favourite posters to pick on but in fairness most of my other posts are relatively benign reporting of information and not contrarian.

I agree that Billy Gilmour is a promising young player with a unique skillset for Scotland and could have a great career. Who knows? perhaps he'll even eventually be considered world class at some stage. So yeah that's basically where I'm coming from with my posting basically.
