This scandal is truly one of the most hilarious and ludicrous things to happen on here in long time. Deserves a thread of its own! I can't stop laughing at the ridiculousness of it all made even funnier by the match days threads being locked!

Great craic!

Whether the scores are known or not, MOTD is ruined for me now. Forever.

:agree:

I'm going to petition that the BBC show MOTD before the games kick off so that I can't have it spoiled

And the "Matchday thread closed" thread locked too. I was waiting for a "Matchday thread closed thread locked" thread starting up.

Love it along with the hibs score made my day. Talking of MOTHD just watched Sunderland and was amazed by Fletcher's beard, looked like he was trying for a part in Grizzaly Adams, sure that beard has a life of its own.:greengrin

I'm pretty disappointed that on a subject that for me at least was relatively important a number of my fellow Hibs fans felt that my annoyance at having MotD spoiled for me was worthy of nothing more than derision and piss taking, with no attempt to have a bit of empathy for what in my opinion wasn't an unreasonable request.

I cant afford to follow Hibs away and quite frankly even if I could I doubt my football hating partner would be very happy about it. With Forth2 dropping their Hibs coverage the match thread on here is the best and most enjoyable way for me to keep up with the away games. Is it too much to ask that the meagre TV pickings left to folk like me who cant afford SKY and BT sports ( or Hibs TV ) don't get further diluted by the scores being given away on the one thread I cant and shouldn't have to avoid. I'm not asking folk not to post scores from our league or even the Scottish premiership on the thread .... just not the EPL scores.

A few months ago the admins on here were pretty quick to hand me a yellow card after for the first time in nearly 8 years of posting I was provoked into a personal insult ..... given that there is a thread dedicated to people who want to discuss the days "other games" I find it a bit strange that the admins haven't been a bit more supportive of myself and the folk who share my point of view on this.

I didn't read the thread at the time so I may be posting out of turn but anyway...

There's always been a bit of light piss taking on here, and in my opinion it's part of the enjoyment.

As you say though, there's another thread for 'other games' so the posts should be in there if for no other reason than to keep the match thread on topic.

I just can't understand how you can avoid seeing scores on a Saturday. There is media everywhere. How can you avoid it?

On a related matter BBC News last weekend gave it the old "if you don't want to know the result" guff when reporting on the Japanese Grand Prix. The usual 3 second warning was however spoiled by the image behind the presenter of Lewis Hamilton on the podium spraying champagne :)

I have some sympathy. But my gut reaction is "get a life" I'm afraid.

I think it's now impossible to watch highlights of an F1 race without being informed of the result beforehand. A shame, because a 10 minutes highlights package is usually all an F1 race is worth.

Likewise, I have neither the time nor inclination to watch EPL football matches on Saturday but sometimes enjoy MOTD without knowing the results.

Why take that choice away from people?

People can make their own choice...but what is wrong with a football thread occasionally chatting about interesting scores across the country - are we really going to police that now? This is a Hibs and a football forum....why should everyone else have t pander to a few who don;t want the scores...

people should not have to go to another thread to make a comment - chatting on the same thread is part of the fun if you are not at the game..

I have to say that I find it sad that folk would purposefully do something that others are asking them not to, just so that they can save a few seconds by not changing thread.

It doesn't matter to me that it might seem a trivial thing, but it's easy for us to stick the other scores on a thread for other scores, leaving the match update thread for match updates.

I genuinely can't understand why folk would be unwilling to help folk out.

Then I noticed yesterday's thread was never actually posted up with the *match updates * flag !!!

that makes this whole discussion a lot of hot air as it wasn't technically the "real" match day thread.... We never had one yesterday....... PETRIE! :grr:

I don't rely on the match day thread either, so it makes little difference to you or me.
But for some fans, like those overseas etc, they rely on it for up to the minute updates from the Hibs game. That was the idea behind keeping it uncluttered on match day which seems fair enough. I think .

:devil:There were two threads, one started by Billy Whizz and the match update thread started by Silver, I locked Silvers thread with the intention of re-opening it at 2.00, unfortunately I was tied up (not literally 😃) and had no access to unlock it. Billy's thread then became main update thread, minus sub heading.

My last point on this topic, as these niggly "argumentative" type topics are my least favourite on .Net.

I have some sympathy with the point you raise - that wasn't really the issue of yesterday by and large - there was very little chat about other games - it was triggered by a few people (two or three if I recall correctly) not wanting to know other scores - to me that's a "get a life" type of position to take on a football match day thread. To have such a very tight structure of what you can or can't chat about on these types of threads - seems not the spirit of a football forum. If there was so much about other games which ruined the flow about Hibs updates - then of course that would be a great point to ask for more discipline about.

anyway, made my points clear...going to bow out now - got Glastonbury tickets - so much to be chirpy about :)

To me the match day thread is about 90%+ Hibs with the odd "XXXX score is..." or "XXXX have scored again" or whatever, just small comments on other games which i don't think its unacceptable at all.

A post somewhere on some thread, kind of summed up how ridiculous this is... "are you going to ask the stadium announcer not to read out the scores at half time and full time just because you want to go home and watch match of the day"???

If folk are really bothered just open up Hibs Twitter and refresh it. The match threads are for a bit of chat too. To limit it to just Hibs updates to pander to a few who are going to have to go to great lengths for the rest of their day anyway to avoid the scores is over the top.

So you know the match announcer at the football is going to read out the scores. If you're in the West Upper it makes no odds because you can't make out anything he says anyway :greengrin.

For me, as ridiculous as it is, if you know for certain that it annoys someone and that they're purposefully trying to avoid the score, what does it say about you as a person (not you specifically, I should add) that you'd post it anyway.

I find it useful getting updates on other games in that one place - rather than jumping about different threads to get news on other games. That may sound selfish but it appears to have worked well without any controversy until yesterday. I'd imagine there will be quite a few posters who share my behaviour.

I'm sure some people will be fine with that. For others that's a bit of a hassle and why would you jump from thread to thread to make a comment on football scores? There's lots of things we could do to do others a afavour and I'm certain a lot of us have preferences on lots of things but we don't expect everyone to bend to them if they are way out of step with normal behaviours these days.

These guys have to avoid just about everything football related on a Saturday for this to work for them. Surely it's them that have to work round it? The rest of us like a chat about things as they are happening.

They could start their own Match of the Day friendly thread and see how the updates work for them on that?

They could but maybe people like getting stuff direct from the ground from their fellow fans, maybe it gives a wee bit more of a connection.
I'd agree it is impossible to keep all mention of other scores from the match day thread set up specifically for the Hibs game, they are going to slip out in general chat. But is it really asking too much for us all to keep it sensible? I include myself in that. :greengrin

They could start their own thread, they might need to and I'm sure that's a reasonable suggestion to get a workaround. I think you'd be surprised at how many people still avoid the scores ahead of Match of the Day, though - and it's not as difficult as you'd think. If I'm at the game and don't pay attention to the announcer (easy, because I can't make it out anyway), I can be blissfully unaware of the English games results by the time MotD starts, which I invariably sleep through anyway. :greengrin

It's nice to be nice though, eh?

For me, as ridiculous as it is, if you know for certain that it annoys someone and that they're purposefully trying to avoid the score, what does it say about you as a person (not you specifically, I should add) that you'd post it anyway.

But loads of folk say loads of things that will annoy people and they know it, especially on this forum but they say it anyway. I do get what you mean, why do something to deliberately annoy someone but its not a case of that, its a case of people are having a chat and other scores come into the conversation. People aren't thinking "i'll post the scores to P such and such off"

But where does it stop? Its a stick on that after every game, win lose or draw someone will come on and say "Lewis Stevenson is gash", whoever posts it knows its going to annoy someone else so why are they posting it? Is it going to be the case that every thread where someone disagrees with someone else more than once will be closed because they are "deliberately trying to annoy" the other person?

I can't believe the carnage a bit of fun has caused yesterday, like others i just follow the matchday thread and enjoy it when others put the odd score in from other games, English and Scottish ones.

And it appears only one person was banned for trolling, for having the temerity to post the score of a game in England in a non matchday thread.

Most threads go off their original subject, and trolling a word i find hilarious goes on in almost every thread. I don't even think i or most who post on here even know what it means.

It's no wonder i do not post much on here these days.

They could but maybe people like getting stuff direct from the ground from their fellow fans, maybe it gives a wee bit more of a connection.
I'd agree it is impossible to keep all mention of other scores from the match day thread set up specifically for the Hibs game, they are going to slip out in general chat. But is it really asking too much for us all to keep it sensible? I include myself in that. :greengrin

Well that's the way it goes eh? If you want to share football chat but blank out specific scores then that's a thing that hasn't been likely to work since the 1980s.

There was actually minimal chat on other games yesterday and I only ever really mention games relating to us but it was the chat about people being ignorant and arrogant that got me. It's just normal Saturday football chat. To me the arrogance is in expecting that everyone else amends their behaviour to suit a personal preference that you have.

I enjoy Match of the Day as much as the next man but I can enjoy it already knowing the scores. What I do find works is having a bottle of wine first. Then you forget what they were anyway. Everyone's a winner.

But loads of folk say loads of things that will annoy people and they know it, especially on this forum but they say it anyway. I do get what you mean, why do something to deliberately annoy someone but its not a case of that, its a case of people are having a chat and other scores come into the conversation. People aren't thinking "i'll post the scores to P such and such off"

But where does it stop? Its a stick on that after every game, win lose or draw someone will come on and say "Lewis Stevenson is gash", whoever posts it knows its going to annoy someone else so why are they posting it? Is it going to be the case that every thread where someone disagrees with someone else more than once will be closed because they are "deliberately trying to annoy" the other person?

I think there's a difference between posting opinions - to which we would expect and encourage debate and disagreements - and posting specific bits of information that we know, for certain, that people are looking to avoid, on a thread which someone is asking to keep just for match updates.

People are thinking "I'll post the scores to p such and such off", two people did it yesterday on the thread started by the guy that wanted to avoid the scores.

I generally stick Soccer Saturday on if I'm not at the game, so it's not even an issue for me, I just think it's weird that someone's making a legitimate request for folk to keep a thread clear of other scores and folk are completely unwilling to help the guy out.

There is generally an 'Other Games' thread on the go, so it's not unreasonable to think that if you only wanted the Hibs game, you'd be safe enough reading our match updates thread.

It can be frustrating. Last year I was watching our game (can't remember which) which overlapped man u v Liverpool which I wanted to watch from the start. Of course someone put the score on the match day thread for our game rendering my avoidance of it pointless.

But, if you really don't want to know the scores then don't look. You know they're likely to be on there. They always have been

Yeah I've done it too when taping a game but I've never thought of having a go at the person putting the score up. I've always thought it's my fault for being daft enough to to look at a Match thread when I'm avoiding a score.

Thanks Matty ...... but its pretty obvious that this is a losing battle.

There were two threads, one started by Billy Whizz and the match update thread started by Silver, I locked Silvers thread with the intention of re-opening it at 2.00, unfortunately I was tied up (not literally ) and had no access to unlock it. Billy's thread then became main update thread, minus sub heading.

Well sorry but we've already went from having one match day thread on a Saturday to having this weird "unofficial" thread for travel and pre match chat which sometimes overlaps the "official" thread.

What's Saturday going to be like now? The unofficial thread, the other games thread, the match day thread and the Hibs score only thread?

At the end of the day I'm sure most people use the other games thread but you're on a football forum. And to come onto a football forum and expect not to see other football scores is crazy.

So there's a new Xbox game coming out in November that I'm looking forward to. Do you think on the day it's released I'm going to go onto a forum about that game? No one posts things like that on purpose to piss people off but it's unavoidable.

04-10-2015, 10:56 AM
Speaking for myself, I tend to stay on the matchday thread and constantly refresh it for updates - if I'm not at the game. I find it useful getting updates on other games in that one place - rather than jumping about different threads to get news on other games. That may sound selfish but it appears to have worked well without any controversy until yesterday. I'd imagine there will be quite a few posters who share my behaviour.

Very selfish.

I have to say that I followed this whole episode unfolding yesterday, and when I saw people complaining about posting the scores I immediately thought that they were taking things a bit too seriously.
But the reaction from other posters to their requests have been really disappointing. Not only are they deliberately not being cooperative, but actively taking the piss on other threads, and even starting this one.
I understand that people like to stick to one thread for the match updates, but, even if you don't agree, it is a little selfish and lazy not to post about other games in the thread for posts on other games. You could even have 2 tabs open so you didn't have to navigate away from the hibs match thread.
I don't mind knowing the scores myself as I rarely watch motd but the level of childish reaction to those that don't want to know them has been disappointing. What's that phrase that's used on here a lot? Ah yea, "not hibs class".

They could start their own thread, they might need to and I'm sure that's a reasonable suggestion to get a workaround. I think you'd be surprised at how many people still avoid the scores ahead of Match of the Day, though - and it's not as difficult as you'd think. If I'm at the game and don't pay attention to the announcer (easy, because I can't make it out anyway), I can be blissfully unaware of the English games results by the time MotD starts, which I invariably sleep through anyway. :greengrin

It's nice to be nice though, eh?

I have to say that I find it sad that folk would purposefully do something that others are asking them not to, just so that they can save a few seconds by not changing thread.

It doesn't matter to me that it might seem a trivial thing, but it's easy for us to stick the other scores on a thread for other scores, leaving the match update thread for match updates.

I genuinely can't understand why folk would be unwilling to help folk out.

:agree: Watching MOTD without knowing the scores is something I love to do every week. It's a highlight for me and I look forward to it. And avoiding scores is pretty easy, actually. Why would people deliberately choose to ruin it for other hibees who did nothing more than make a reasonable request to keep scores to the other thread? A bit petty and not really necessary imo.

You can watch MOTD even when you know the scores, it's still good. In fact, there's times I might not have bothered watching, but having heard about a good result or a great goal, I'll make a point of putting it on.

Why should we suddenly change because all of a sudden someone is getting angry at having some scores spoiled?

Like I said before, I don't really care if scores get posted or not, but if there is a thread for the other games, and people have now asked if those scores could just be posted in that thread, I don't think that's an unreasonable request. You would think people were being asked to only post on kickback.

And like what's been mentioned above, it's not like every single score was being posted. The city score was posted because they were 1-0 down and aguero scores 5 as the game finishes 6-1. It's a talking point, people felt compelled to share it.

It's not like people were going "oh Bournemouth is 1 up" "West ham are getting beat"

And it should be easy enough to avoid a football forum if you want to avoid football scores, unless you are totally brainless.

I have seen other people say the same thing:

When I come on Hibs.Net the first thing I see is a load of 'separate' threads with their own individual headings, this enables me to pick and choose the ones I want to read .... for example, if I was to see one headed 'Bundesliga scores' I would give it a miss coz I'm watching the highlights later.

I'm not complaining that people post football scores on a football forum ..... I'm complaining that they post them on one particular thread on a football forum, which is there so that folk at the Hibs game can ( very kindly ) update their fellow fans on what's going on at the Hibs game.

Sorry mate .... but in the context of this debate the 'avoid Hibs.Net' argument doesn't hold water.

The scores were posted on a thread started for the specific purpose of discussing not posting scores on unrelated threads, by someone who wanted to avoid the scores. Hilarious banter, that was.

I'm not going to go into detail, but maybe if folk took heed of warnings and didn't feel the need to act like bairns, then we wouldn't need to be talking about anyone being banned (temporarily).

I am out the country at the moment, but text him when i saw it this morning. He can't believe how petty this whole thing is, and he did find it funny as most folk were in a good mood because we were winning, and winning easily.

Others also posted scores but are still here.

As he said to me and i said on here, this comes across as 100% selective punishment.

Petty, very petty.

That's fine. What's done is done. But next time, if you (not specifically you) know that will upset people, post it in the appropriate thread?

Who got banned? I'm a score avoider and contrary to what people think , it isn't hard to do at all. I feel people getting banned over it is a bit extreme since the admins haven't from what I've seen clarified which way they would like it to be run

It could go alongside the match day thread which can be more laid back.

You can watch MOTD even when you know the scores, it's still good. In fact, there's times I might not have bothered watching, but having heard about a good result or a great goal, I'll make a point of putting it on.

I love Band of Brothers, it wasn't spoiled for me just cos I knew how it was going to end. Dinnae mean to spoil it for anyone but we win, and the Germans lose.

You rotten b***rd - I'm halfway through the Band of Brothers boxset and I was rooting for the Germans. And after your post there's nae point me watching Das Boot next either eh - twat !!

The forum is made by the people that contribute to it and start the threads. What they intend by each you'd have to ask them. Regimenting threads with strict rules isn't for me or many others and I've never thought that other scores were banned just because there happened to be another thread with other matches.

Why not start one each week which is a clear no other scores policy?

If people want to contribute they can. If people want to carry on the way the other threads have always been then they can do so.

Whatever happened to the likely lads springs to mind, what a lot of nonsense.
I remember trying to do that once back in the day when Manchester City were away and due to be featured on Match of the Day (they only covered two matches then). We carefully avoided finding out the result all evening by staying in the pub. A ten in the evening we sat down to watch Match of the Day when my Grandfather came back from thebBritish Legion and put his head around the door and said:

"I see they have got beat again."

Or we could just think "I know folk are wanting to avoid this, so I'll not post it here, there's another thread I can stick it on." and do someone a favour? :dunno:

I'm with Andy on this one. Even the thread about the signage had match updates. If people really want to avoid all the scores from the EPL and elsewhere in Scotland the question is why they are on the internet at all. You are not going to stop people posting score updates from elsewhere on a match update thread, human nature dictates people will post scores on it. If you only want the Hibs scores stick to the official Hibs twitter feed.

The brainless comment is way over the top.

The word used was "unavoidable" .... If you are a person of reasonable or even limited intelligence doing something that requires a deliberate action ( for example typing on a keyboard ) can never be classed as unavoidable .... I don't think in that context the word brainless was over the top in the slightest.

The users of the threads are suggesting otherwise though. It is natural to have some crossover and I've no real interest in going from one thread to another for match day football chat. If we are to have strict rules on threads so be it but is that what everyone who uses the site wants?

Yes it's possible to avoid posting the scores but it's also possible for the small number of people who have the issue to avoid a match day thread.

Good day,

Very long term lurker of this forum, haven't posted since the days of SC (not sure if allowed to write his name) moderated this forum.

As an overseas Hibs supporter, I personally, hit refresh to get 'all' updates on football scores happening around the country on the match day thread. Perhaps it's laziness, perhaps not.

I did notice a long term poster had been banned and upon reading this thread and I now know why.

Fwiw, I find it slightly over the top to be honest. Annoying? Maybe to one or two individuals but that's about it in my opinion.

I think if someone is so desperate to avoid football scores, then coming onto a football forum on match day isn't the brightest of ideas.

Anyway, that's my tuppence worth and I'm away back to lurking.

I use the Matchday thread when I can't be at the game. I've relied on it on my holidays and I appreciate the updates.
No other game matters when I can't be at the Hibs and it should be the same for 99.99999% of users.
If however, posters want to get their count up by posting score updates on anyone from the Hertz to the Isthmian league then that's surely their prerogative. Social media is easily avoided. Or if not avoided, **** off to another site where you won't get these alerts. LIKE THE BBC. They have a wee Scottish Championship section I believe.
Better still go to the Hibs game instead of worrying about what you might be watching after Strictly.

if the site wraps individuals up in cotton wool to spare their Saturday night viewing habits, people will go elsewhere.

Blackpool Hibs will be a loss to the site. I think, pest that he is.

No other game matters when I can't be at the Hibs and it should be the same for 99.99999% of users.
If however, posters want to get their count up by posting score updates on anyone from the Hertz to the Isthmian league then that's surely their prerogative. Social media is easily avoided. Or if not avoided, **** off to another site where you won't get these alerts. LIKE THE BBC. They have a wee Scottish Championship section I believe.

Depending on who you are, you will get banned if you post EPL scores on a Hibs match update thread.

I hope that clears it up for you Liam. :confused:

Trolling (as has been pointed out) will lead to warning/infractions which can take repeat posters over the threshold and can lead to a temporary suspension.

So not quite as straightforward as simply posting a scoreline.

I would say there is a policy. Off topic posts are regularly deleted. There is a match thread and an other scores thread. Any "other" chat is off topic and should be binned. But given that the admits are busy people and are probably more worried about the game it doesn't happen.

I don't think the suggestion of an immediate deletion policy (of the other scores) has any chance of success.

You'd have to have a delay, like they do on live radio, and have somebody giving that thread 100% of their attention.

That's a bit much just so somebody can try to avoid hearing a score, especially as there's so many other ways they can accidentally find it out anyway.

FWIW the way we do it here feels right, I've popped onto some of our opponents sites at times to see what they're saying and it's dead unprofessional at times, I bet if you pop over to rangers media they'll have a match day thread running for their next game in a week or so!

Thing is I actually think most agree...

At risk of repeating myself

One thread for mostly Hibs stuff and the other for non Hibs game day stuff, we agree there's goon to be crossover, that happens.
IF seine then pops up and says, hey folks I'm recording xxxxx v xxxxxx for later try and no mention that on here..... Is it really to much to ask for folks to not DELIBERATELY go out their way to post said info.

Yep and it's always more about relevance and cluttering the thread. We used to get lengthy debates on Manchester teams for example which got in the way of updates.

I think it's another thing to make it a strict issue of not sharing scores from any given league. Away games in particular can be pretty short of actual Hibs updates and the other scores don't get in the way at all.

As said above this would be both unworkable and set a bit of a precedent for people's preferences on other threads to have to be taken into account.

I posted updates twice yesterday on the wrong thread. Not even match related. I shouldn't have to worry too much about that.

Wow, what a huge fuss about very little, but here's my tuppence-worth.

I occasionally try to avoid finding out the score of a game I've recorded.

I deliberately stay off hibs.net, Facebook and Twitter etc and keep the radio and TV off. I'd suggest that's the best approach, but even then it doesn't always work.

It's not the end of the world if I find out, just mildly disappointing.

However, I do think that if someone has asked not to be told the other games' scores on the Hibs match thread, it's a reasonable request and easy enough to grant. Having said that, folk will still innocently comment on other games if they haven't read the whole thread and they shouldn't be censured.

IMHO, it's not something that admins should have to moderate. There's a couple of threads on a matchday - a hibs one, and an 'other games' one.
We don't want folk tip-toeing around threads so we'd just ask that users respect other users.

We've never had a policy that threads shouldn't contain other scores in case someone wants to watch MotD, and we're not about to create one.

It's a minor point that's somehow got laughably out of hand but it comes down to people just showing a bit of consideration to other people - be that by not posting scores so that folk that want to avoid them can do so, or accepting that people will post scores so either just living with it or leaving hibs.net alone for a few hours.

You could easily have all the scores in the other games thread. Coming on hibs.net and trying to avoid the hibs score is a non-starter, so you're easily catered for.

Blackpool did not post any scores on the matchday thread, he posted on the thread asking about why the matchday thread was closed? :confused:

Exactly.

IMHO, it's not something that admins should have to moderate. There's a couple of threads on a matchday - a hibs one, and an 'other games' one.
We don't want folk tip-toeing around threads so we'd just ask that users respect other users.

We've never had a policy that threads shouldn't contain other scores in case someone wants to watch MotD, and we're not about to create one.

It's a minor point that's somehow got laughably out of hand but it comes down to people just showing a bit of consideration to other people - be that by not posting scores so that folk that want to avoid them can do so, or accepting that people will post scores so either just living with it or leaving hibs.net alone for a few hours.

I can't help but think your contradicting yourself mate.. If the attitude is people will post football scores on a football forum then the two guys should not have been reprimanded for doing so.. No matter what the thread was about. At least if that is the stance of admin then guys that don't want to see scores are left in no doubt but to stay clear of the whole site

Agreed. Though I do love a chipolata sausage, yet only have them with chicken for some reason.

I only have them with turkey at Xmas. 👍🏼

I think you're missing the point.

One poster starts a thread to make the point that they wanted to avoid the scores.

There is already a thread elsewhere for other games, and we'd just had to close the match thread because of where it was heading.

Despite that, two posters chose to use that thread - the one started by someone trying to avoid scores and already irked that a previous thread was closed - to post up the scores.

Now, some might find that hilarious, i felt it was completely antagonistic and unnecessary. The posts served no purpose other than to get a reaction from other posters, particularly the OP.

Exactly.

What was wrong with him doing that, Matty?

If it wasn't the match day thread, which is where the request for silence about other scores was made then he hasn't deliberately trolled anyone who didn't want to know the scores.

I may have missed something as I wasn't online yesterday, but I'm very confused by all of this. :confused:
