Quote:The Junior Scottish Cup final (football) each season tends to have a better attendance than many SPL games in a season and there is a gulf in level as some would put it. It is also broadcast on the television. I guess the people who attend and watch that are just misguided?
That's a cup final. Hamilton v Kilmarnock is usually not. You are comparing things that are not the same. I'd wager Linlithgow Rose's average weekly gate doesn't compare so favourably with SPL crowds.
Quote:lso the use of the word lowly is offensive
Come on David, Joe was saying 'lowly-rated'. As in, they have low ratings. That's not an insult, that's a statement of fact. His posts can be a touch inflammatory sometimes, but I think he was fairly careful to be polite in this one.
I think you've sometimes got some points with the things you say, but you take it a bit far. Phrases like 'so-called best players' are just silly, and distract from your point. 2300s are better at chess than 1400s. Denying that's just daft.
