Armitage breaks collar bone

[BelfastSaint]

Wow ........ Big time pwned Armoooo ........
Mind you ... i think i might have been to if i had tried to guess why players "taped up" ...

Mate I look like a spastic after saying something that was later cleared as being old. I don't blame anyone for the crap I get.

Next time ignore those text messages from inside the Treasury Department, they are all fakes.

P.S. If you have a house as big as Turnbull's it doesn't really matter.

But I really think you should be a bit careful about what you post. , eh?

Yes very good advice to not post as fact what is not.

Yes you would not want to be like that poster that posted repeated posts of how Walls "gave' Lyon the job.

When in fact it was Sheldon who first suggested Lyon, and Ross Smith who chaired the selection committee.

Are you ever going to get over this non issue, sRr? Everybody else seems to have done.

I will always believe that Lyon was a longshot who got the gig over other applicants through a certain level of inside help from one or more people on the committee.

However, like many other decisions in the history of the world that were made on the basis of favouritism, the decision to appoint Lyon seems to have turned out to be a good one. He is clearly an astute and talented coach, but he is yet to take us any further than GT did, so there's still a tiny bit of nagging doubt in my mind (which I hope/expect will be completely gone at full-time in one of the PF games).

But why do you have to keep harping on about it, sRr?

I have met very few people in cyberspace or the real world who are more obsessed with thumbing their nose at other people and going "I was right, you were wrong, nah nah ne nah nah".

It's childish, grow up and move on.

Wasn't Meher Baba that Indian dude who didn't speak?

If so, MB, your consistent verbosity (no offence, just noted that you don't mind lengthy post) is highly ironical...

Or is that the point?

You are on the right track. I am a rather verbose person (and a very rapid typist). But I spent many years reading a lot of online forums and remaining silent. Now it all tends to gush out (although, if you watch carefully, you will note that I only choose to post on a small number of threads on here).

I still think the name suits me, in the same way that redheads are often called Blue or tall people can be called Tiny.

Personally I think it's brilliant that people disagree. It'd be boring as bat sh*t around here if we were all posting "Gee I really like the way you put that argument" or "I was going to make that point but you have said it so well". Just keep the fanatically vitriol from becoming a 4 page rant.

Everyone else has got over it..except that you still are happy to peddle a lie?

I will always believe that Lyon was a longshot who got the gig over other applicants through a certain level of inside help from one or more people on the committee.

Oh...now you try and wiggle out and change things.

And despite the facts you "will always believe" with no basis that Walls inappropriately "gave: lyon the job.

It is now a public record that Sheldon put Lyon's name forward in a 100% appropriate manner and that the committe chaired by Lyon hired him aftera 100% appropriate process?

Why do you continue to make your slur when you have no basis for doing so?

You assertions on this are an insult to Ross Smith.

However, like many other decisions in the history of the world that were made on the basis of favouritism, the decision to appoint Lyon seems to have turned out to be a good one.

Again you are making it up. Why perpetuate this lie?

He is clearly an astute and talented coach, but he is yet to take us any further than GT did, .

Ah...so now the truth leaks out......your rubbishing of Lyon is based on GT being fired rather than how Lyon was hired.

so there's still a tiny bit of nagging doubt in my mind (which I hope/expect will be completely gone at full-time in one of the PF games)..

Why does Lyon's performance of coach have any relevance as to how he was hired?

It's childish, grow up and move on.

Well I think personally that the OP came on in good faith....to make a report.

Sure as it turns out what he stated was incorrect...but he did not post to be malicious. I think your bake of him was unfair and overstated. He at leasted posted to give what he thought was the scoop...even if it would have been wiser for him to have gained more precise information.....or have wait for Armo's injury to be further tested.


Whereas your continual lies about how Lyon got the job are FALSE, have no basis...and are malicious and childish.

I pulled you up on them when you first made them and will continue to do so.
