Rossmcno1 Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 11 minutes ago, GG Riva said: I apologise for my use of the word "mental." It was not intended to offend anyone with mental health issues. I used it as a synonym for crazy or mad to mean unbelievable. If these words are just as bad, I apologise again. They were terms I grew up using when nobody was offended by them. Indeed, some lads took the term as a compliment, as it was used to describe someone who was courageous and fearless and maybe quite hard, too. I take your point about some fans taking the rivalry too far, but as I said further up, I'd much prefer to see us play 4 games v Falkirk than Cove or Hamilton, so We'll just have to agree to disagree on that. I get you GG, I didn’t take offence to it at all, just thought it was unhelpful in the context. I understand how you meant it - you were trying to reinforce your point. Respectfully agree to disagree 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's the point of fitba if you can't have a laugh at someone elses' expense? I bet the Rovers fans were all utterly heartbroken when we got relegated in the summer right enough?! A rivalry isn't really a rivalry if you don't play each other though with the only enjoyment gleaned from that rivalry being their misfortune. What's the point in that? What is more enjoyable, last Tuesday night, or seeing them stay in League 1? Anyone saying them staying down in that context isn't much of a fitba fan IMO. I can guarantee that whilst they laughed their arses off, the Rovers fans have also missed playing us this season. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eastendtales Posted March 15, 2023 Report Share Posted March 15, 2023 24 minutes ago, GG Riva said: Yes, I was saying tend to, as in usually, or at least more often than not. I wasn't suggesting that It's always the case. I believe you're one of the lads who interview some of our former players for the podcasts? Why don't you ask your next subject if he found that playing in front of a large crowd gave him an extra buzz and subsequently up his game? Come November, I'll have been following the Pars for 60 years. I've lost count of the number of great games I've seen at EEP with a large crowd backing the team. Sometimes, only days or a week later, we'd be playing a game against modest opponents in front of a small crowd and the players would be almost unrecognisable, playing well below their best. Our next guest has played in front of many huge crowds 😉 including scoring the winner in front of a packed Hampden! I don't doubt that a bigger crowd ups a players game. Not disputing it. What I was disputing was that a large crowd makes for an exciting game, which I don't think it automatically does. Does it contribute sometimes? Sure.

Does it contribute sometimes? Sure. I wasn't suggesting that it always automatically does either, just that it makes it more likely, so we don't really have an argument, do we? 🤔 I'm intrigued by your teaser about your next guest on your podcast. If he's a former Par, then it has to be Pat Gardner or Ian Lister from 1968, or perhaps Jim McIntyre from the 2007 SC semi-final v Hibs? Of course he may be a former Par who was playing for another club at the time? I'll wait and see. Don't want to steal your thunder. 🙂 I enjoyed listening to Calum Morris. He's a good guy and didn't deserve the stick he got when he left for Ross Co just because someone else made up a story his wife would believe. I also believe he was being very kind to JJ when he said he didn't play in the play off final v Cowden because he'd done his hamstring....

I won't give it away but it's certainly a well respected ex Par, no doubt. 😁 Callum was brilliant to chat with and clearly has the Pars in his heart. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
