Saintsational Fan Forum - A passionate community of St Kilda Football Club fans discussing news, history, players, trade rumours, results, AFL stats and more.
FYI guys, as Saint66au has already alluded to, we do read all the posts/threads & act on them when we are here. As I have requested before we don't need it all to be cut & pasted or bumped to get our attention. Can some of you also check to see if a mod is actually here before you start assuming that we're not doing anything.
More than happy to moderate Sunday afternoons at double time & a half if you're willing to pay that, otherwise I will spend that time with my children.
FYI, I am an admin & mod elsewhere and I know how hard it is to read every single post.
Harvey's Deciple was on this morning and obviously didn't see this thread or the offending comments. I bumped it to alert him, but no luck. In hindsight, a simple PM would've been better.
But the desired result is the same.
For the record, the Mods here do a great voluntary job and I'd be the last to have a go.
Poster formerly known as SENsaintsational. More wisdom. More knowledge. Less name.
Quite often we're at work when we jump on here & whilst I know my boss doesn't have a problem with me reading SS, I'm tipping he'd start getting annoyed if I started editing posts/sending warnings etc.
Of course, if everyone was more civil toward each other, we would be redundant.
Thought it would be nice to revisit a thread about Ross Lyon from early last year.
Was very interesting before going down the usual slanging match.
What ever happened to St.Kenny???
Ever since the winning run, he hasn't been around.
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>)

Tell me how many flags did your hero win as coach?
GT took our team to the finals 3 years in a row.
How many finals will RL ever make as coach? It remains to be seen, but the portents are not good.
JB, don't be an ostrich.........
Especially like this post by mb.
Who has been the ostrich??
Lance or James??

Some interesting reading in there but hats off to Grumpy One and SrR I think for some good observations that have become reality.
This is an opinion place but some should hang there heads...
Where is that bloke whose nick was "the dud" with the photo of Ross?

"If he fails in this, and we end up 2-3, I think that Westaway should seek out Matt Rendell wherever he is and beg him to come back and take over. Lyon and his gumby henchmen would be sacked as a job lot and Rendell allowed to bring in his own assistants.
Lyon is a joke of a coach. He was selected by a pack of imbeciles who thought that a good AFL coach was someone who performed well in a psychology test and a simulated post-match press conference. Any question of his ability to coach a team and lead a group of men didn't enter into it. "
Baba???? Hello.......... anyone there.........oh there he is over there working his way through a semi-trailer load of humble pie. Grant Thomas is providing encouragement.
Why do I need to eat humble pie? I'm not a journalist, I'm just a fan expressing my view on an online forum
I'm delighted that Lyon turned it all around after 30 or so games that were painful to watch and now the team is playing sensational footy.
I'm also delighted that he has achieved this success with mainly the same group of players who so many on here predicted were never going to make it.
Yes, I was far too impatient and pessimistic about Lyon's abilities as a coach in April-May last year. If you look at my posts, I frequently said that I hoped he would prove me wrong and he did. My bad
JB, I don't suppose it would help my cause any to point out that Lyon still hasn't coached us to three finals series in a row?
