Great night tonight but I cannot believe that Kingdom FM guy with a full period to go asked the crowd over the tannoy if they wanted Bryan Pitton to get a shut out. Apart from being totally disrespectful to Stars who were still in the game, it must be like the biggest hockey 'no no' there is to even mention the 's word', particularly over a PA system! I've said many times that I can't stand all this constant 'make some noise' cheese that's creeping into match night at KIA, but if you insist on it at least say something thats not completely embarrassing. More is less boys- honestly.... And the crowd isn't a primary school class (or a set of Braehead fans)

I sit over the team bench side so didn't hear it (That's another story!)

I said to my wife when leaving FIA tonight what negative can someone on the forum can find after such a great evening?
This place never disappoints!!! Yeah its a non no but surely life is more enjoyable if we concentrate on the positives.
Todd you sparked that performance by leading from the front. From hard hitting, to blocking shots, to scoring a rare but beautiful goal. You may be older than most but you've still got it.
Fantastic effort tonight by all and very much appreciated

Oh for goodness sake, get a bit of perspective! ali got some light-hearted stick at the rink for it, and he took it. That's it - move along, nothing to see here.
Only on this forum could a superb and big 5-0 win over a conference rival still somehow generate a negative thread.

From hard hitting, to blocking shots, to scoring a rare but beautiful goal. You may be older than most but you've still got it. Fantastic effort tonight by all and very much appreciated I said at the start of my post it was a great night. It's so predictable that someone will come out with the guff about this forum only being for moaners when nothing could be further from the truth. No wonder Fife fans have such a bad reputation when they themselves spend so much time criticising each other! I came away from the game totally delighted and the announcement didn't spoil my night. If you look at my posts the vast majority are positive but when a ridiculous announcement like that gets made i think it's a talking point- folk were certainly talking about it at the time! Feel free to start another thread about Todd's great performance (which it was) cos its got nothing to do with the PA. Make a positive contribution yourself instead of putting a negative slant on mine.

Have to agree with Finchy, I was totally shocked when he came out with it. Lessons learnt by the DJ, doubt it will happen again!

Do they? Only place they criticise each other is this place - pretty much like ever other forum I've ever seen.
Out in the rea world, everyone else enjoyed tonight's game, saw some good hockey and a big win ... and yes a throwaway comment which resulted in some banter.
As usual that 'banter' manages to become a lecture on a forum.
Little wonder Twitter & Facebook are fast replacing these message boards...

I made a postive point about the team performance, Todd's performance and a great night all round.
The point I made was that even when you win 5 nil there's always someone who comes on and moans. I mean at least we're laying off the team tonight!!
Period

I'll be honest, I've not a clue what point you're trying to make. I'm not lecturing- I'm saying it was a ridiculous thing to say. If you disagree that's fine by me. The Flyers Forum (now unofficial forum) is widely regarded as a place where people go to 'chirp' or be negative and one of the main reasons for that is the totally over the top reaction by some to what they perceive as non-positive comments. Just so you understand- i'll say it a third time... I thoroughly enjoyed my night so don't try to insinuate I didn't by saying 'everyone else' enjoyed there's. Why don't you just take a point on its own merits without having to make generalisations?
