Thank god Milne did not get sacked

[markp]

I wasn't directing my thoughts at you MarkP.

You seem to have a reasonable perspective on things.

You only have to read this thread to work out who I'm referring to.

I didn't think you were.... you made a similarly bleak analysis of JB's life many months ago, and it's wholly uncalled for.

We're all just chumps killing time and having a laugh here....

It was uncalled for - which is why I deleted it immediately.

But let's be fair dinkum, I think you'd struggle to find one single thread that I post in where my life and motives aren't belittled and ridiculed.

So let's not get too prescious.

Fair play, but you know and I know that when people have a go at 'rodgerfox' they're not having a go at a real person... and you directly control the villain status of this character.

And precious only has one 's'

1) If you allow someone else to be in control of things that impact you that greatly, then you only have yourself to blame.

The very definition of a football supporter. Isn't it?!

I know this is a forum, and discussion is what it's all about. But the bitterness and tantrums, and blame and scorn over something that happened over 3 years ago is really quite disturbing.

Not to mention baiting, eh?

Carry on.

Anyway back on topic just irked me when numbnuts on Footy Codswallop refused to acknowledge Milne's improvement and stated again how he was going to sack Milne, but he got sacked first!

Milne was a gun back then anyway, just poorly coached as was the entire list!

12/9/06 was truly a great day in our club's history, the more intelligent and perspicacious people, visionaries like myself, realized that finally this club was getting FAIR DINKUM and saw this as cause for celebration!

The nuffies, nitwits, numbskulls, geeks, gimps, gumps, goofballs and dumbed down dingbats with their GT inflatables, easily conned by the snake oil routine had a big sulk, blamed Butterss with much animosity for ending their Thomas in wonderland fairystory, thought the sky was falling in yada yada, blah blah blah, but I suppose this is what was to be expected, afterall that's why they are know nothing nuffies who know SFA!

I'm just grateful Milne is still running around in a St Kilda jumper, Gardiner who numbnuts would not have touched with a ten foot pole is in All Australian form in the ruck and astute recruiting, player development and professional fitness and conditioning has us back on track!

Perhaps we'd be in even better shape if Butterss had the call on Judd, instead of numbnuts selecting........ oh I digress

anyway 12/9/06 is the day a line in the sand got drawn and this club finally got FAIR DINKUM!

[asiu]

thats the day we had 244 people onsite

i so hope those threads are filed in cyberspace somewhere

that was ss at its very best...unbelievable.....i didnt go to work for two days

name names ....i dare ya



u'll end up with relevance deprivation syndrome once we win the flag

you may as well get on with it and say ...thanx gwant

[rodgerfox]

Just a question for my own curiosity...

Why, when Thomas says 'I would have sacked Milne if I wasn't sacked first' it is taken as gospel and referred to as being 'on record'.

Yet when he says things like 'I bleed red, white & black' or 'I would stand aside if a better person for the role came along' they are howled down as lies?

I would say the first one is taken as gospel because it's probably true

He's yet to prove the 2 statements in your other paragraph for mine....!

[asiu]

well, you wouldn't sack him ....surely

u'd trade him


so its complete tosh

And you were the only one to read it markp

I didn't get a chance to see whatever RF saw fit to poost and then delete about me.

No biggie - I was being a pain and getting on RF's nerves, probably deserved a flaming at the time.

Considering RF hasn't a clue about me, it would have been very funny reading, considering people who do know me, know what i do and what I am or am not in life

Kudo's to RF BTW for deleting it out, whatever it was.

We can all get a bit too serious sometimes

And I'm still traumatized by it.... I had no idea it was possible do such things to camels, or that vaseline came in 10 litre buckets.

name names ....i dare ya

YOU all know who you are!

A bigger bunch of nuffies, I've not seen anywhere else, have never attended a young liberals meet, but YOU GT flogs swallowing the snake oil like the cordial from Jonestown would give them a FAIR DINKUM run for their money!

And I do mean FAIR DINKUM!

s.hit - so RF does know me

[saint66au]

I know I should know better...but it still amazes me that a discussion on our EX-coach can fire up more and faster debate than anything that we are currently doing...and that some people suddenly become habitual posters who are rarely seen from one GT slanging match to the next

'Tis rather amusing isn't it?

Apparently only Liberal voters like GT now. Go figure on that!!

Grant Thomas was and is entitled to his opinion. So is everyone on here.

Some people may do well to remember that sometimes whilst they are trying to sort through the nuffies and numbnuts....

By the way, I think markp or Joffaboy may have some solution to the numb nut problems going from the above posts!!

[barks4eva]

It was actually Ken Sheldon who took Milne off the trade table before RL was appointed. But that is only splitting hairs. I'm sure RL had a say.

This was Ross Lyon's decision!

As for GT, I actually think he is deliberately trying to fire Milney up. He doesn't want Milne in a comfort zone and as a supporter, wants him on the edge.

So please explain Thomas's comments about Tom Harley the week before, gave him far more of a serve than Milne?

Does he want Harley even more on the edge?

As a supporter of St kilda I was thinking STFU you moron!

[saintsRrising]

Just a question for my own curiosity...

Why, when Thomas says 'I would have sacked Milne if I wasn't sacked first' it is taken as gospel and referred to as being 'on record'.

I believe him

Yet when he says things like 'I bleed red, white & black'

I believe him. It does not mean that I do not also believe that his desire to be the guy in control clouded his judgement.

or 'I would stand aside if a better person for the role came along' they are howled down as lies?

Fact is he never stood down despite "better" people becoming available after he started.



And remember that GT started as a coach under a lie...as BOTH he and RB have now admitted the process to hire him through competitive interviews was a sham.

[saint66au]

Any of you likely to get so obsessed with the past that you forget theres a game on Sunday???? Eh?????

Arguing about GT is like a drug for some of you..a drug of dependance
