A defeat brings out the more negative posters, and those who criticise negativity tend go into hiding. A win does the exact opposite. So where have you been laddo? After a win you have often posted things like "Where's Davy", "Where's Pedro" etc. If we had scored a couple of late goals today and won everyone knows you would be all over the match thread like a rash, painstakingly and mockingly highlighting every single post that was critical when we went a goal down (or were losing 1-1 to nick your phrase). I'm sure you can offer a reason for your absence, maybe the new series of Strictly has started for all I know. You don't need to. It's the way boards like this work and you're exactly the same as the ones you criticise, just the other side of the coin! The sooner you accept that the better for all concerned.
