Post: # 755980Post Batnoe »

I saw him at the Gold Coast game. i was drunk and when he walked past me, i put my arm around him and said ' i love you man'

He just said ' love the players, they're doing the work'

I have found myself talking in the same question and answer mode as Ross lately.

e.g.

Do I like Ross Lyon as a coach? Yes I do.

Is Ross a humble human being? Yes he is.


"...If there has been one recurring theme through this whole shocking mess, it has been the misguided, inflated egos and their ill-judged determination to cling to long-standing old boy friendships. The bad advice that has guided the selfish and culpable James Hird has not only punctuated this saga but symbolised it..."

I ran into the coaching team a day after a match recently- at an airport-

and Ross noted the jumper and stopped to chat- asked how I found the game

I said "It looked fine from where I sat"- we'd won obviously- and he said it looked fine from where he was too :)

Maybe he was just worried you were going to attempt demonstrating how much you love him.

Hmm. Perhaps young Batnoe should consider a trip to the cinema.

Yours or his?

Yes, everyone does when you're drunk. Alas, it turns out to be a one way mirror.

St Pat is a troll and so is Rossy.


Lance or James??

There comes a point in every man's life when he has to say, "Enough is enough." For me, that time is now. I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in <redacted>. Over the past three years, I have been subjected to a <redacted>investigation followed by <redacted> witch hunt. The toll this has taken on my family, and my work for <redacted>and on me leads me to where I am today – finished with this nonsense. (Oops just got a spontaneous errection <unredacted>)

The whole humble thing is a bit of a joke in this country.

If you're in a position of public notoriety you need to be seen as humble just to be accepted. Smart people know this and act humble because as soon as one stands out too much they get knocked down. Tall Poppy Syndrome.

So what if Ross is humble, does that make him a good guy?

The truth is that he's a sh*t hot coach and he has a great bunch of players but really can he say 'I am a great coach and i have a great bunch of players'. NO. If he said that everyone would be calling him arrogant and suddenly he would suck.

I'd love to see a player in an interview after a game that he's kicked ten goals in say 'Yeah I was awesome out there tonight, I was on my game'. Instead of ' Yeah it was a team effort I couldn't have done it without the other 21 blokes in the team.

In Australia you have to be humble to survive otherwise the masses will just try and pull you down. Its kinda sad really......

And i'll probably get crap put on me on this forum for saying this...In fact whenever I say this I get crap put on me.

Look at ALI he was a quiet man but knew he was the greatest. And he was not afraid to say so....only difference is he lives in a country called USA where - for all its downsides - you can be great.

I think Ross is doing a great job, and it took him a while to win me over. He certainly acts very humble and seems down to earth.

If he coached another team though, I fear he would be called a spin doctor.


Maybe this year?
