Boroughmuir Bears v Heriot’s: Super6 returns with inter-city derby clash
Like our friend Dom above. I also tend to not use the thumb icons. Except when a lack of generosity of spirit is displayed. I’ve thumbed up you for your excel at reply. Thanks septic
Entertaining match, to be expected a few production issues on the first hit out but positive overall, 1000 viewers for a ‘local club game’ + pitch surrounding full of fans is nothing to be sniffed at to begin with.
Change is happening folks, i for one am looking forward to it.
A thumbs up is a point of view now? You learn something new everyday.
I don’t use the feature as I consider it meaningless. But you bash on as you normally do.
Some of the oldies are stuck in their ways Septic, best just to leave them be, their biased opinions will never changed regardless of clear positive change right in front of them.
Excellent work by the SRU to have even more coverage.
And some seem to be so insecure that they can’t accept others have different opinions to them.
Best to luck to the competition and great to see a decent amount of coverage. Its had a tough baptism of fire and still to an extent an alien concept to me. When it comes to rugby you want to get emotionally invested and I’m not sure they’ll attract much support outside their traditional base and even then fans may have split loyalties better S6 and the traditional side. Districts would have been more of an emotional pull but that would limit games and wouldn’t provide a base to add new teams. I’ll definitely give it the benefit of the doubt and tune in (as they’d say back in the day)
Not that I’m one to grumble but come on, guys, this TV coverage seems to be getting delivered by the junior trainee department. Did they not do a sound check? Complete loss of sound seemingly unnoticed for several minutes and general horrible sound quality – either the gain is up way too high or the piece of string is falling out of the tin can…
Is there no-one monitoring? ?
Is the public allowed in or has the poison dwarf still said no?
What an unpleasant man you sound.
if you were interested you would know the answer. But you are only interested in looking very stupid
Great news. SRU doing good work at the moment.
Credit has to go to Mark Dodson for how he has steered the ship over the past year and a bit during this pandemic and these partnerships with the S6 can only be a good thing.
Great TV Deal and boost for the game. Its just great to be able to watch rugby being played after such a difficult time for all. Players have lost so much time in what can already be a very short career. This just isnt a time for politics its a time to let everyone breath to recover and to fulfil their ambition to be as good as they can be.
Most players will always play for their local club, as always some will test themselves at a higher level and the very few then go on to greater things.
Our job is to make that as easy as possible not to build walls
Good luck to everyone in S6 and the Club Game when it starts , nothing is back to normal no matter how much we want it to be . Lets not make it any harder than nescessary
someone did not like that post. About the most uncontentious post as there could be, one we should all be able to support. Of course no attempt to explain why. Strange behaviour
Paying attention to thumbs up or thumbs down and thinking it has any meaning. Now that’s strange behaviour
being interested in the point of view of others isn’t strange behaviour Dom. Especially something as inoffensive as that post. I know its difficult for you to get that, but you really must try harder.
Were you the second thumbs down? If not, no worries. If yes, would be good to hear why
