I disagree.

There's no hypocrisy here.

 

In the main the 40 and 50 year olds criticising the 18 and 19 year olds were sad ***** when they were young too, and haven't considered doing anything slightly naughty in their shallow, humourless lives.

 

A level of moral consistency us regular scumbags could never have hoped to achieve.

Good luck. Don't be sectarian arseholes. Good luck to them, If it's the same lot of kids hopefully they've learned from their mistakes/matured.

 

Interesting to note that Budge - who so obviously hates any kind of atmosphere - is giving a singing section a 3rd go of it. Especially with the past 2 iterations proving disastrous. 

except she doesn't hate atmosphere that's just mince peddled by some on here

she hates bigotry and racism and anything that will get the club into trouble

i'd like to think the vast majority of us agree with that

Not really my cup of tea but will hum along if you get it going. Maybe easier to begin with 'Ten Men Went to Mow.....etc' due to being easier to remember the words.

Am considering issuing a 'statement' along those lines.

I’d support that statement tbf.

The fallacy of this argument is that I could set up a Twitter account, claim I’m part of this section and tweet whatever I wanted. 
 

That wouldn’t mean I represent the views of the group at large. 
 

But people are generally too short sighted to see that. 

Are you suggesting this isn’t their official Twitter page?

I'm suggesting that the whole group didn't all get together in a function room somewhere to discuss what the content of a Twitter account should be.

 

Do you think all of them were involved in the running of the twitter account?

The posts from twitter quoted on this thread were from folk who are probably a bit on the old side to be the likely organisers of this latest incarnation of the official singing section.

So you’re suggesting whoever runs their official social media is just a rogue member of the group and doesn’t accurately reflect the views of the rest of the group? Strange that none of them have had a word in his ear over the past many months of horrendous posts and asked him to stop making them look like a bunch of absolute cretins. 🤔

Two Twitter accounts on the go, it seems. One posting highly questionable shit and one calling out the owner of the other account. No doubt Frank knows which Twitter account is truly representative of the young lads who want to support the club in a way they find more engaging than those who condemn them for behaving in a similar fashion to themselves 20 years ago.

A quick Twitter search shows two Twitter accounts under the 'Official Gorgie Boys' moniker. I trust you have conclusive evidence that the Twitter account is the official spokesperson of this group of lads? Because you should be absolutely certain you're on about the right lads before you condemn them all.

 

Not that small matters like that will stop you. Not when it comes to young lads having fun.

I’m going to guess the official one is the one that refers to itself as the official one for the Gorgie Boy Ultras, tweets daily, advertises all their marches and displays and links to the Facebook page which released the statement from the Gorgie Boys Ultras yesterday. 👍🏻

The other page hasn’t been active for four months. Nice try though 👍🏻

Can we not just let them get on with it? If it goes tits up then that’ll be the end of it. Boys are just wanting a sing song and a carry on. There’s far more sinister characters in our support than a few wee bams who think they’re billy big baws on Twitter!

 

Perhaps a bit more communication between them and club would see a successful 3rd attempt. That said we get 7 goals every week and we’ll all be singing!

The club will do what the club will do. That decision won’t be influenced by us discussing the pros and cons on here.

[Vlad Magic]

If they want to be taken seriously and by talking directly with the club it appears they are, perhaps a representative from the group could post on here to clarify a few of the points raised in here?

 

Absolute silence really does not help in getting people on side.

Why should they post on here? They don’t have to convince some anonymous old men that their intentions are pure. 
 

Especially when you have folk like Frank who wants to whip people into a frenzy over some lads who want to take a different approach to watching Hearts.

The last thread on this matter, they’d already been judged guilty before the first game of the season. They boy who came on here got absolutely ripped to shreds by the Kickback police. 
 

So I can completely understand why this place isn’t a priority for them. It’s not as if many of their group would even use Kickback.

There is absolutely no requirement for them to justify themselves to a shower of stuffy nobodys on an internet forum.

 

Instead, they should set up an account on here and tell you all to GTF.

Doubt they really care about justifying themselves to anybody although part of their statement yesterday was an attempt to try and paint themselves as squeaky clean and self-policing so they must care at least a wee bit about how they look to the rest of us. 🤷🏻‍♂️

They're damned-if-they-do damned-if-they-don't, Frank.

We can't look at them as a homogeneous group. Every loosely knit organisation or bunch of pals has a couple of radges, and they're usually the ones that are the most fun to be around and the ones that make all the headlines.

Yeah, without doubt they won’t all be arseholes. Unfortunately it looks like it’s more than a minority who are.
