Div Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 3 hours ago, Ludo*1 said: Colour me shocked that BBC pundits like Cosgrove don't like P&B. It's because P&B largely does the job of the Scottish football media infinitely better than they do and whilst Cosgrove and Cowan may not form part of the 'media', this site equally shows them up as having dated and fucking moronic views on football and that's coming from someone that doesn't mind listening to Cowan. They are both big fans of the site and both read it regularly. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miguel Sanchez Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I seem to recall a quote from Cosgrove extolling the virtues of Lex and his posts, I don't think them reading P&B regularly means much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can accept the second bit, and maybe the first when it comes to Cosgrove. Cowan is what we would describe as "a seething mess" when it comes to P&B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ric Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 11 hours ago, Div said: They are both big fans of the site and both read it regularly. So here's an idea Div. Give them a syndicated section of the forum. You would need to make sure it was quite tightly moderated, there is no point in it being a "pile-on", and I don't believe either would be interested in having to bat off ad hominem or strawman attacks. However, there could be benefits both for them and for P&B (and presumably your ad revenue.. ). For them, it would give an opportunity to interact directly with one of the largest (the largest?) independent, multi club and multi generational, online community of Scottish football fans. It allows them to test out material before it appears on the show and at the same time gauge the temperature public opinion online. It would also help them engage in a medium that it's clear they are either unsure of, or at least demonstrate a level of scepticism (not all of us dwell in our granny's basement!). It would also provide them with a vital connection to fans during a period where neither fans are going to games, or congregating in pubs. For your part there is obviously a kudos from having OTB connected to P&B. It would bring in members and help raise the profile and, of course, advertising revenue if scaled properly could help with covering an increase in bandwidth use. This doesn't need to be specifically aimed towards Cowan and Cosgrove, the lads from The Terrace certainly seem more Internet savvy and while I have no idea whether any of them have accounts on here, the attraction of some sort of official presence would be similar to OTB, but clearly this post is slanted towards OTB due to the thread we're in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't live with my parents, nor am I some sort of weirdo. My point was that folk often use these insults when criticised by folk online, in an effort to discredit the person making the criticism and thus the criticism itself. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think if folk like Cowan or Cosgrove actively seek out constructive/objective feedback through other mediums and from the right people, then you're probably justified in ignoring social media/fitba forums/the internet. They're probably not though and taking the lazy/easy route of just dismissing 'the internet' as fan nonsense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szamo's_Ammo Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Stuart Cosgrove seems the type to search his own name online so I'd imagine he has a wee read on here. Not sure if Cowan knows how to do The Google. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
