Good on ya...Frankie Boy wrote:I work with one of tha footy buskers and can guarantee that they are both payed up Saints members. Who cares if they play at other games they are professional buskers thats there job. If any of you have taken the time to buy one of there cds they have (legally) produced you would find out that they are actually very talented. Apparently the coppers didnt want to move them on they said they enjoyed there stuff, it is purely the Telstra Dome that was having a winge!!!! As they always bloody do, just because theyre not making a quid out of . Like they need it anyway.
I really didn't give a stuff if you were saints supporters/members as I enjoy what you do....
And yes I did take offence to a poster calling you and buskers losers...
and more so a poster that stated ..
and this poster has yet to explain after my two posts as to why he thinks it's perfectly obvious even after I sent a PM...It's perfectly obvious the reason why you don't like Ricc. and it isn't because of the opinions he puts forward.
I do admire the work buskers do and love the art...
keep up the good work
Don't wait for the light at the end of the tunnel to appear, run down there and light the bloody thing yourself!
Gotta say I put myself on a self imposed ban on posting here and also on SMS’ing.
I still think there should be PBT’s in-built into every forum keyboard and mobile phone.
Been watching for the last few days and have sent some PM’s to people who haven’t deserved my wrath.
Don’t want to get personal but some of my excerpts to those people have been…..
“I realize that when I am getting angry at an Internet forum as I have been lately, it’s time to sit back and take a look at the positives in my life, rather than jumping down the throats of those who do not deserve it.â€

Ricc,
Hopefully you haven't decided to abandon this forum. FWIW I value your input, and I value how you defend your opinion when challenged.
It provides great discussion, this forum wouldn't be much without it.
I'm just not looking forward to losing such a dedicated Saintsational poster. I'm pretty sure not too many on here would even begin to doubt your loyalty to this forum.
Cheers.

I haven't read most of this except the first page...I hate reading, but from what I have read I feel sorry for those blokes. Normally I walk past them with a bit of a smirk on my face. Now I'm gonna chuck em a few bucks. They give the place a bit of colour I reckon! I'm cheesed-off they were booked! ![Evil or Very Mad :evil:](./images/smilies/icon_evil.gif)

Pretty rough treatment by the Smelstra Dome people. As a few mentioned before, they have a perfect right to perform and aren't doing any harm, even if they play the club song ad nauseum and won't be a little more creative. Perhaps I should check out their cd to get a better appreciation for them.
I once told 'em to shut up after a game that we lost because they played the song at a slow and sad tempo. Kinda cruel... I know... Poor guys are probably far too often on the wrong end of other peoples' frustrations like a few people I know who have done some busking.

Wow
I threw them some money before the game.
And their charming assistant gave me one their CDs
They were playing uninterrupted after the game.

I'll have to give it a listen to tomorrow.
Keep up the good work Dave & Anth! Appreciate the commitment you make to the saints and football in general.

I've had a chance to listen to their CD.
Well worth a listen.
Funny in places.
Enjoyed the disco version of the Collingwood song.
The guys are talented.
Let's hope we don't hear the funeral march tomorrow.

They have some talent
and not worthy of a poster calling them losers...
buskers in general have talent IMO and again some do it to further their education, hardly worth a loser comment
