Guest JamboRobbo Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 Quite simple - cause it doesn't involve Rangers, Linfield, Celtic or Chelsea. Anyone work out the link? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makween Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 Quite simple - cause it doesn't involve Rangers, Linfield, Celtic or Chelsea. Anyone work out the link? I get it! It's because people who posted on previous threads were actually doing so to "score a point" by pretending to be outraged. I think that I understand and have closure on this issue now, thanks for explaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JamboRobbo Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 It isn't. Please explain.

Hmm, seems a bit like one-upmanship to me. No but if it involves a "Scottish" team then it reflects badly on our league and country. Germany and Poland hardly affects us as directly.

I realise you're not thick, just merely stirring. If you wish to discuss EVERYTHING that goes on in the world of football please feel free to start thread after thread, that's entirely up to you. Others just choose to discuss things RELATIVE to them, essentially teams close to or directly associated with Hearts.

Guest JamboRobbo Posted June 10, 2008 Share Posted June 10, 2008 So it is meant to score points - against those posters? I don't claim to know WHY people post what they post? I'm amazed that you can read posts and know why someone posted it though. You should be on TV like Derren Browne or something. I'm just stating what I've observed happen on JKB.
