Has anybody looked at the comments section of the Evening News & The Scotsman for any football related articles in the last few days?
Almost every comment seems to dissapear within a matter of minutes, with a note saying 'this comment is under review'.
:confused:

It's all story's. Someone's waged war with them and reporting the comments on everything

Quite funny though. Angry people getting angrier as they can't post their angry comments.

They should just do away with the comments. The vast majority are childish pish - and not just on the sport section.

Football part is flooded with weird yam types that even kickback won't take.
Either that or it's allisbarrys multiple personalities having a go at each other and Hibs.
Best avoided.

It is/was funny. The weirdos with multiple names arguing/agreeing with themselves, the jambo loners who post on every Hibs story telling a skewed version of our history, the total weirdos who imagine every Hibs fan was emailing the Lithuanian Govt during the time they owed it £32mil and some geezers on both sides caught up in the rubbish. The weirdest is Talk of the Toun who thinks longwinded posts with clumsy digs at Hibs in every sentence makes him valid. A complete waste of bandwidth even scrolling down to them for quite a while now. Dunno what that new situation is about but no doubt JP enjoy the clicks.

Eventually the level of stupidity became too much so just stopped reading them.

Dunno mate, I looked for the first time in ages the other day and as described above every post bar one was "under consideration". The only post up was someone slating Stokes personal life in a way that was well beyond what normal people would do. I expect that disappeared too.

Why would you post a comment there anyway??. It's always been, on sports stories anyway, purely the reserve of the mentally unstable and deluded on there.

They seem to have attracted the lowest of the low on their wee forum by the sounds of it

Agree with that - has been the haunt of the 'Ultra-obsessed about Hibs' Jambo for some time now !
And as has been mentioned - ROLAND - now that was a 'Grade A Plum' !.
Edinburgh Evening News.
Edinburgh - nope, printed and published in the West.
Evening - comes out first thing in the morning.
News - debatable, bar their "features" everything is out there on social media long before it's inked. It's "unique" copy is filched from elsewhere or consists of the most cringeworthy columnist opinion pieces aimed at members of knee-jerkers anonymous.
As Johnny Rotten said about the NME "It's not new, not very musical and not particularly express."
That media is going the way of papyrus.
Apart from that I stopped buying it due to it's obvious bias against our club and the sucking up to Hearts. Before the "paranoia" claims begin I'll point out that this site stopped linking the EEN Hibs stories in the News forum for very good reason.

Wow, seriously?
They'd have to be incredibly obsessed, and have some amount of time on their hands.

Kiwidoug was my favourite from the EEN comments back in the day. I think Kickback took him in though.

Sorry but could you narrow it down a bit futher, as that's about 50% of Hearts Fans I know.

You do know we're discussing the comments on the online EEN? I think on line it'll be around for a bit yet.

Sadly, mate, you are wrong. They are all very good examples of Homo-Sapien (cue being reported by some sad, jambo loser for calling him a homo.)

Homo sapiens is Latin for "wise man". I'd therefore disagree with your suggestion :greengrin

I even used to get it posted to me down here but its barely disguised pro Hearts agenda (particularly around their administration and subsequent attempt at rebranding) lost them 4 regular paper orders in Edinburgh and my copy went with it. Not really the best way to find out what's happening in the real world up there now anyway.

The EEN and Hootsmon did have some great reporters/writers back in the day.
I worked in The Scotsman on leaving school (mid 60s) and met greats like Stewart Brown and John Ayres who were the EENs main football writers/reporters for many years.
Stewart was a good Hibernian,too.John leaned towards the dark side of the city.
Both these men worked hard for their stories.
Pre internet of course and they had to get off their bums to get the scoops/stories of the day.
Stewart was held in high regard among sports writers and at ER.
Its said that he sometimes recommended players he watched to the club.
A kind of freelance scout.He also travelled with the team during those great European adventures.
I always looked forward to his reports/stories,particularly in the Pink news on a Saturday (if we won)

When I used to go onto the EEN-forums, there was one who was a particuarly touchy, Jambo welt - 'Baldric' - got me banned because I addressed him as 'Baldpric' !

Used to see some of them when I drank in 'Jingling Geordies' and the time when George Best played for us must've seen a huge increase in their expenses - Champagne was the new lager !

It's been like that for a long time but has sunk to a new low of tedious childish yam drivel. In their own wee world where Cathro is a bone fide football coach they think they are hilarious. They must lead such fantastic lives posting endless nonsense in sites which aren't even about their team. Obsessional,delusional,lunatic,behaviour. I'm sure they would keep shrinks in jobs for years.

That about sums them up. Apparently thrashing Elgin 1-0 is a sure sign they will have a tremendous season. Dearie me talk about complete fruitcakes.

Bang in the money re-the old days, Mick. That's when those papers had journalists rather than "reporters".

I've never understood why they allow the comments section.
Most of it was vile anytime I dared to have a read.

Clicks, means they can charge for advertising, the more clicks the more they can charge. They don't give two hoots about the quality of the contents or who posts.
