It's pretty obvious that the gronk, kornstar and Casper usernames all posted more heavily when fitzy got voted out.

:lol:

 

[Maroubra Eel]

It's like that movie dumb and dumber.

Oh the irony.:lol::lol:

Nah Poo, just CBF reading how you turn a three sentence post of mine into a multi-paragraph analysis of your own neuroses.

Again, in the reply above I think you've accurately captured your own neuroses on the head - "you refuse to consider any opinion contrary to your own". (Or more to the point, you think it's your duty to challenge any opinion contrary to your own - good luck with the time you spend on that champ :thumn.)

Keep dodging bart.

You said:

Nice logic, but he's come to the job with very few if any runs on the board as an NRL coach. Very similar to appointing a fan of the game if you ask me (albeit one with a distinguished playing career).

"A fan of the game" wouldn't have a distinguished playing career. If he did we would call him an ex-player.

And not all ex-players have had the opportunity to learn from a series of the game's best coaches.

You seem to think it was a bad idea to sign Kearney because he has had no experience as a head coach of a professional club, but then how do you think all the great coaches started off? They started off with no experience as the head coach of a professional club. At least Kearney served a lengthy apprenticeship, and had some practice with his international team. What more could he have done to prepare himself to coach at NRL level?

The fact is he's more qualified than plenty of ex-NRL coaches who don't have coaching jobs today. That's why he's got a job and they don't.

One of your best Gronk! :lol:

Obviously someone on this forum doesn't have the most fulfilling work life and feels the need to make constant personal attacks at other people on a public forum that share the same interests as himself.

 

[Kornstar]

Been here since 03 and actually probably posted more before the whole election shit fight!

I voted Fitzy out with pride, still don't regret it for a second!

I have barely posted in months, so I think some people need better things in their lives if you feel the need to bring me up in posts......

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Shut up Gronk. You f**king turkey.

 

[strider]

ooooo, ooooo ..... can I be gronk too???

Piss off mate, I enjoy putting the stickers on the apples.

 

[Eelementary]

Oh that's easy. I hate that metal crap like Korn and Jonathan Davis is a androtop cos he wears a dress on stage.

To be accurate, Korn is not a metal band.

 

[MrT]

Actually I want him to prove he is not MrT.

shut up fool (MrT from the A-Team) lol

I am not Gronk

 

[Gronk]

To be accurate, Korn is not a metal band.

I said Metal, which is correct as a broad genre. Wiki says Nu Metal. Girl at work says Alternative Metal. What do you say and more importantly, what does our own Kornstar say ?

Probably nu/alternative metal. Which is nothing like actual metal, really.

Dodging what Poo? Your internet intellect? :lol:

Thanks for re-stating my two sentence quote back to me, but taking three sentences to do so...

You seem to think it was a bad idea to sign Kearney because he has had no experience as a head coach of a professional club, but then how do you think all the great coaches started off? They started off with no experience as the head coach of a professional club.

You have no idea what I think, and seem to make it up as you go along? I haven't said it was a bad idea to sign Kearney - just that I won't get as excited by all the hype until he actually shows that he can coach. (Read the words, and try not to jump to your own conclusions ;-))

At least Kearney served a lengthy apprenticeship, and had some practice with his international team. What more could he have done to prepare himself to coach at NRL level?

More cliches ans truisms. The reason SK would have got the job was that he impressed the interview panel with his talking more than any other guys did at the time. Nothing more, nothing less. That doesn't automatically translate into a mystical back story, no matter how much we want it to. The story (hopefully) lies in front of us, and will be borne out by performance and results.

Dodging what Poo? Your internet intellect? :lol:

Dodging the points that refute your childish arguments. Changing the subject doesn't work on the internet mate because the stupid things you say are left out there to be quoted back to you.

Thanks for re-stating my two sentence quote back to me, but taking three sentences to do so...

Actually I countered your two sentence quote. The reason I use more sentences is to dumb it down for your own benefit. You should thank me instead of carrying on like a smartarse merkin when you're caught out saying something stupid.

You have no idea what I think

Oh but we do bart, because you told us. You said appointing an ex-assistant and international coach was:

Very similar to appointing a fan of the game if you ask me

Either that's what you think or you tell lies to look clever.

and seem to make it up as you go along?

I just quoted you. I'm not making anything up.

I haven't said it was a bad idea to sign Kearney

No you've just pissed and moaned ever since we did. ;-)

just that I won't get as excited by all the hype until he actually shows that he can coach. (Read the words, and try not to jump to your own conclusions ;-))

Changing your tune bart? Wouldn't it be awful if the club's, the fans' and the players' misplaced trust in him turned out to be right all along?

More cliches ans truisms.

Is that what you call facts when they don't suit you?

The reason SK would have got the job was that he impressed the interview panel with his talking more than any other guys did at the time.

Hmm. He should have been showing them how well he can do all the coaching stuff that doesn't involve talking. Maybe he could have given them a demo of how well he studies video, or stands on the training paddock watching the boys run around. All far more important than talking, right bart? What this club needs is a man of action! He should have shown the board how well he used to run and tackle.

Nothing more, nothing less.

Well it sure sounds like you were there.

That doesn't automatically translate into a mystical back story

"Mystical back story"!!! A coach's history in the game has magical powers now?!?!? And here I was thinking an employer might be interested in a potential employee's employment history to judge how well he might fit a certain job.

But it goes deeper than that, doesn't it bart? It's spiritual.

no matter how much we want it to.

And if it's as special as you say bart, then we sure want it to.

The story (hopefully) lies in front of us, and will be borne out by performance and results.

Ah, so when the board brought Kearney in so they could listen to him talk about his mystical back story, they actually should have asked him about his mystical future, rather than his mystical past?

It's no wonder you think they're useless.

 

[Gronk]

Oh but we do bart, because you told us.

Hey Pou, do us all a favour and do your posting in the first person ? You are not the spokesperson for anyone, OK ? They are your opinions and they should be expressed in that manner.

Frankly we are all sick of it and you are doing us no favours with your whining and ranting*.

* Wow I felt so powerful then.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Self-righteous moralising aside, Gronk, we can all read bart's posts.

So when he tells us we don't know what he's thinking, the correct response is that we do. Maybe you're the exception?

LOL, see you're doing it again. No, he was talking to you. Yet you seem to answer on behalf of everyone as if you are the self appointed marshal of the forums. Why ? Maybe you should run him outa town? :lol:

 

[Poupou Escobar]

No, he was talking to you.

Ah the irony Gronk.

You seem pretty confident you're authorised to speak for bartman. Maybe you're the only one who knows what he's thinking, or am I just the only one that doesn't?

So which is it?
