I've called SrR a liar plenty of time. .
Yes RF has. Each time he fails to back up or prove his claim.
I keep asking him too but he avoids doing so for he cannot.

The reason I would have thought was quite obvious - because he is.
But he didn't.
He stated them as fact.
They're not fact. They'e untrue.
So he's not telling the truth. Therefore, he's lying.
So....wait for it...he's a liar.
He's a lair. Wher's the facts to support this statement?
He's done everything the club has asked of him. What did the club ask of him? And where is the evidence to prove that he has?
That's just two. In one post.
SrR makes stuff up to support his views which have been rammed down everyone's throats.
He supported Lyon for recruiting Gardiner. And still makes stuff up to support that view.
It's the same reason he still pots and lies about GT at every opportunity.
Ok Rodger..what I have I made up. Please post some FACTS... you know those things you accuse me of not using. It should be easy as you say that I make stuff up and lie about GT at every opportunity.
Gardiner a lair????
Does 'handcuffs' during a game bring back any memories???
Just do a google and read the news articles.
Also read what Bret Voss has said below.
Gardiner doing what the Saints asked?
He has been re-signed for 2009 when he could easily have been let go.
Also read what Voss has said below..
Various Saints officials have also mentioned about him doing what was asked etc etc.
Mature Gardiner becomes Saints' role model

MICHAEL GARDINER and role model. If you were playing a word association game, it would not be the first phrase that springs to mind to describe the West Coast recalcitrant turned St Kilda ruckman.
However, ask his former team-mate Brett Voss to talk about Gardiner's behaviour since he moved across the country late in 2006, and that is what he comes up with.
"Michael came to the club under a fair bit of pressure," Voss said bluntly.
"And he really acted as a good role model for guys going through injury problems or other problems."
Gardiner not only had a bad-boy reputation hanging over his head but a body that kept letting him down. When he ran out to play against Sydney last Saturday night, it was his first senior game for 20 months.
Last year he played just one reserves match, hamstrung by painful injuries to both feet. On several other occasions he was named to play alongside Voss in the seconds, only to pull up sore at the last minute.
"He had a number of setbacks but he didn't dwell on things he couldn't control, and he did everything right to get back from injury," Voss said.
"His demeanor around the place and his attitude was always positive and that is a good role model for guys who can get down on themselves."
To those close to Gardiner, the burly 28-year-old who left the Eagles in 2006 after crashing his car through a roundabout and sending it airborne is still larger-than-life.
He can be loud, abrasive even, a big man who loves to tease and banter with team-mates, who sometimes speaks out of turn and courts attention.
((INSERTED COMMENT by sRr Err that sould like a decsription of a lair does it not??? ))
But away from Perth and the friends of dubious character he associated with, the player who took the field last Saturday for his first AFL game since June 2006 was a happier, more mature man. He has had a steady girlfriend for more than a year and has kept his rap sheet blank since he arrived in Melbourne.
"When you hear of someone who has been in the news often, you are not sure of their attitude or personality but there were no problems fitting in with the guys at St Kilda," Voss said. "He definitely worked hard at making sure he wasn't in the wrong place at the wrong time. The respect came from the guys and it will continue to come as he continues to do the right thing."
The sulky, moody footballer who departed the Eagles on bad terms is determined to re-pay St Kilda for giving him a second chance when no other AFL club would contemplate it.
Not only did the Eagles think Gardiner's body was gone, they were happy to sacrifice him as they tried to convince the football world they were cleaning up their act.
But a few people held faith in the player who was the number one draft pick in 1996. There was of course, his father, Renny, who worked hard to secure him a deal with another club when all seemed lost.
And Ron Joseph, the veteran manager who had a hunch that Gardiner and St Kilda, with straight-shooting coach Ross Lyon at the helm, could be a good fit.
Michael Gardiner: Claremont lays down law

Article from: The Australian
BARRED West Coast ruckman Michael Gardiner is clinging to hopes that he can revive his career outside Western Australia at the end of the season.Coach John Worsfold and his match committee yesterday ran out of patience with the former vice-captain and have recommended his contract not be renewed at the end of this year.
Gardiner, who will play out the season with WAFL club Claremont, shot himself in the foot after his alleged alcohol-related car accident on Monday night, according to a West Coast board member.
"He's already had too many chances and that has to be the last straw," the board member said.

My apologies I had no idea you were so naive.
From now on, whatever I read in the newspaper will be treated as fact.
Whenever I see an ex-player talk about an ex-teammate, it will be treated as pure fact.
Based on that, the following statements can now go down in the history books as factual events.....
- Ben Cousins is a terrific bloke.
- Grant Thomas was a great coach and coached Robert Harvey's most enjoyable time at the club.
- Kosi was charged with sexual assault
- Riewoldt exposed himself to a girl in a pub at Lorne
- Grant Thomas resigned as coach
- Aaron Hamill is still only 2 weeks away from playing
The above, and many many more untruths can now be altered in the history to now be stated as fact. Why you ask?
Because they were printed in the newspaper, or spoken about in the news.
Now that this new law has passed, the world will be a much more interesting place.
I'd also imagine the footy 'journo's' and media moguls will be quite pleased.
