• Me, looking forward to seeing all the talent our wee Region has to offer (NT) -- 🙂, 19:30:26 11/17/21 Wed
  • Downhill -- Idmum, 08:19:24 11/21/21 Sun
    • One girl in U16 from Newcastle school! Can't be doing very well academically with all that travelling (NT) -- Parents are known trophy hunters, too much pressure on a wee girl, 18:44:16 11/22/21 Mon
      • Surely not? Lots of schools in Scotland to choose from (NT) -- Why travel all that way?, 18:52:15 11/27/21 Sat

• Qualifiers -- Ddm, 09:19:55 11/18/21 Thu

• Which school? Is it because of judges you mean? (NT) -- Gg, 23:17:14 11/18/21 Thu

• Qualifying -- Kt, 19:52:42 11/19/21 Fri

• Why is there always big secrecy around this feis? Why is it a private group to join? What are the Scottish council trying to hide? (NT) -- Like why do they think they are different from any other region?, 12:10:48 11/20/21 Sat
  • Same as the North East: the Scottish region like to hide their politics and games under the pretence of privacy and protecting children. (NT) -- Hahahahahahahaha, 18:12:22 11/20/21 Sat

  ---

• What private group? (NT) -- Never heard of it, 18:35:28 11/20/21 Sat

• U18 -- DM (Low numbers), 23:03:29 11/20/21 Sat
  • Natural for dancers to go to university and have different priorities. Well done to the dancers that are trying to keep dancing and studying. Can’t be easy. (NT) -- DM, 10:47:47 11/21/21 Sun
  • Even in majors there are only about 50 in under 18 now when there used to be about 200 when they were in under 15/16 . It’s not embarrassing it’s life. Dancers quite rightly move on and education is more important than dance! I (NT) -- DM, 15:18:13 11/21/21 Sun
    • * -- DM, 19:38:35 11/21/21 Sun
      • The comment under Downhill up the post a bit says it’s embarrassing if you look inside the comment. (NT) -- Dm, 20:15:35 11/21/21 Sun

• What have we learned from this weekend? The pandemic has hit hard in older age groups, with 2 worlds cancelled it has made an easy decision fror lots of young ladies. I think it will take a few years for numbers to go back up again. Well done to all the older girls who have stuck with it. What hasnt changed is the favours done for some, especially in the U13, U17 & U19's over the weekend. (NT) -- Somethings never change!!!!!!!!, 10:26:01 11/22/21 Mon
  • No favours in u/19 winner was beautiful . (NT) -- Very humble girl. Known this girl since she was a wee tot., 10:52:24 11/22/21 Mon
    • Disagree on this opinion (NT) -- Gg, 21:00:11 11/25/21 Thu
      • Really ?? (NT) -- Think maybe your mixed up with another age group., 12:10:13 11/26/21 Fri
      • Correct winner -- DM, 20:26:07 12/05/21 Sun
  • Same all the time. Hugely corrupt. People wonder how some age groups end up small. Simples, people eventually have enough of the constant behaviour from some schools. (NT) -- Parent, 12:03:11 11/22/21 Mon
    • What behaviour? I thought everyone was very subdued at the weekend. (NT) -- Dm, 13:18:20 11/22/21 Mon

• There was definitely favours in U17 -- Dancer, 14:42:22 11/22/21 Mon
  • There will be favours in most of the competitions. Always amuses me reading results and seeing very random results. Either marked way up or dropping kids which is disgusting. (NT) -- Mam, 14:48:57 11/22/21 Mon
    • It was good to see AM Under 17 back dancing thought she had given up -- Mum, 22:28:21 11/25/21 Thu
      • I was very pleased to see this young lady back dancing has danced since she was about 6 so naturally talented and lovely wee girl -- Mum, 18:14:18 11/29/21 Mon
  • I’m not sure who the favours were given to in that competition. (NT) -- Dm, 15:08:10 11/22/21 Mon

• Very surprised at some results. Not a great standard at all throughout most age groups in my opinion. (NT) -- Don’t see many world recalls out of this lot., 17:39:18 11/22/21 Mon
  • Agreed. Some weaker competitions but a few very strong competitions.. u13 and u14 (NT) -- Parent, 17:46:35 11/22/21 Mon
  • Nasty thing to say. You don’t know much obviously. Scotland has a great recall percentage considering it’s a very small region. (NT) -- No negative nellies please, 17:57:29 11/22/21 Mon
    • It certainly wasn’t meant in a nasty manner. I was simply saying that in u13 and u14 that I found them very strong competitions. Certainly wasn’t meant to be nasty. (NT) -- Parent, 18:02:03 11/22/21 Mon
      • Also very aware that Scotland has a very strong region and it is a shame not more can qualify. (NT) -- Parent, 18:04:20 11/22/21 Mon
        • Really? I think damage limitation works best. (NT) -- Why send more that are clearly not world standard? It’s a disgrace that kids in ulster are missing out on places but are much better dancers but because Scotland is such a poor region, very mediocre dancers can qualify., 17:48:33 11/25/21 Thu
    • Be realistic. Apart from a couple of champions no other recallers are likely. (NT) -- Wee ones coming up look promising though so hopefully in the next few years we will have plenty again. Some big plodders out there just now., 16:56:44 11/23/21 Tue
      • You seem like a lovely person. (NT) -- Mum, 18:25:44 11/23/21 Tue
        • Thanks, I like to think I am. Nice but realistic. (NT) -- Let’s be honest. Some wee ones are very exciting prospects, 23:09:00 11/23/21 Tue

• Plodders outrageous who do you think you are speaking about young ladies like that SHOCKING (NT) -- Mum, 21:17:53 11/23/21 Tue
  • Agreed. Be kind being a massive thing the last few years but some think it’s ok say what they like when they’re hiding with anonymity. Sickening. (NT) -- Parent., 21:29:33 11/23/21 Tue
  • Oh for god sake, if you were at the competition you wouldn’t know what I’m talking about. (NT) -- Plodders are plodders. God love them and their positivity but come on. Thanks, 23:15:30 11/23/21 Tue
    • What is a poldder? (NT) -- Mum, 20:57:59 11/24/21 Wed
      • plodder /ˈplÉ’dÉ™/ Learn to pronounce noun a person who walks doggedly and slowly with heavy steps. "I am more of a plodder than a hiker" a person who works in a slow and persevering manner. (NT) -- If you know you know, 21:17:23 11/24/21 Wed
  • WOW how spiteful are you, I wonder how much plodding you could do on the stage, did you not get taught if you have nothing nice to say keep your mouth shut (NT) -- still dancing not plodding, 21:42:56 11/24/21 Wed
    • I’ll be the judge of that. (NT) -- You wouldn’t even recall in the world championships of plodding dear. Now plod off., 17:45:09 11/25/21 Thu
      • Ha ha you sound a barrel of laughs dear now jog on and take your negativity elsewhere it’s not wanted here (NT) -- Plodder or not still better than you, 21:59:22 11/25/21 Thu
        • Oh dear, we have one of our own big plodders here. (NT) -- Don’t be offended, maybe WIDA wild welcome you, I’m sure you could win their world championships and stand on the big podium with a big smile on your big plodding face., 22:32:54 11/25/21 Thu
          • So not only are you slating our regions older dancers your slating another organisation as well you ought to be ashamed of the adult you are, not such a role model for your children (NT) -- Mother, 22:46:08 11/25/21 Thu
            • Oh so WIDA is a reputable and high standard is it? (NT) -- Bet your one of those big over 35s with your poodle socks on and big trophy winning the prelim., 20:27:23 11/26/21 Fri
              • I have absolutely no idea the standard of WIDA but what I do have is some common courtesy and no ill mouthing a disgusting opinion based on others actions! (NT) -- Grow up and be done with your nasty attitude, my 9yr old dancer has more class than you, 23:38:58 11/26/21 Fri
          • It’s clear there are some issues here. I feel very sorry for you. (NT) -- Ma, 05:51:08 11/26/21 Fri
            • Yes I agree. The issues are less qualifiers if the standard isn’t great. (NT) -- But as has been stated, lots of decent wee ones coming up the ranks thank goodness., 20:25:00 11/26/21 Fri
