Because you keep asking questions, stating queries and generally want information about things you are disappointed about or where you are being let down.
What a load of bollocks :lol: All from one post today in reply to Highland Fling and cv8z... where I didn't ask a question, or state a query. It was on topic... unlike the (pre-empted and predicted) posts I've had to reply to since. *wink icon*

I've pointed you in the direction where you might find some answers. :D

Sorry precious if I offended you. :lol:
If you were paying attention Suit, you'd realise that I'm not seeking answers, I'm simply discussing my opinion... something you seem to have been precious about for a few months now, even though the electioneering is over? :sarcasm:

Geez, imagine what I could do if I actually ever set out to rattle some people's cages on here... :crazy: This shadow boxing is hillarious!

PS. They've been in 3 days mate......................3 DAYS.
Nice late edit :lol:.

Pity it had nothing to do with my original post in reply to HF and cv8z, or any of my posts since...

There's no shame in being dyslexic Suit, but if you're not then I suggest you spend the time you spend on increasing font sizes on actually reading the words you're attempting to respond to. :lol:

Anything to say on topic, about what was being discussed in this thread before your all too predictable personal diversion... thought not ;-).

Sadly Bart, this comment is where your ignorance let's you down.

I'm outta here.

Suity
My ignorance... of the reasons why I made a particular post? Hmmm :?

Or my ignorance of... you're constant misinterpreattions? Or you paranoia? Or your lack of ability to watch a conversation here flow without some need to hijack it for your own bizarre agenda?

Ok then. :crazy: Time for your 6:30pm happy pills... :lol:

Given how close you are to other individuals Mickdo, I'm sure the same can be said about you. ;-)

Given how I am not close to any group or individual and just an outsider looking in, Parra Future you really are becoming a bit of a joke and anyone who has followed your posts over the last 6 or 7 months would be shaking their heads at your complete and supposedly good willed turn around in your support for DF.

The dismay in your behavior is not that you decided to walk away from 3P, that is your choice and most people would be fine with that, but what I and I am sure reading comments on this board, others have a problem with is your total and utter hypocrisy in siding with DF and the former board after being so adamant that the club would suffer greatly if not irreversibly if DF and his crony board were not removed immediately.

You were such a large part of 3P and had many admirers on this forum, me included. Sure you lost the plot a couple of times, e.g. when posting a challenge on this forum to the former board and Dennis on how you could save the club bundles of cash if they let you look at the books e.t.c, forcing the admin here to delete your over the top accusations and challenge.

If you don't believe in 3P fine, I get that, but how the hell do turn around and crawl into bed with the man that you had no respect for at all as an administrator and fob it off to us as being your way of helping them and the club ultimately in getting it right and that it does not matter who does the good work as long as it is done. Oh please, what a load of crap. Do you really expect anyone to believe that and not see it as just a feeble excuse to justify your eyebrow raising behavior. Where are your principles Col?

If you really do have a legitimate reason for the split from 3P and it was not just a case of egos, then state it and stop hiding behind crapy excuses. Otherwise to suggest you jumped ship because 3P lost direction and hint that 3P are not the right people to take us forward but not give us reasons as to why, how is that good for the club.

If you knew something that was going to affect us as an ongoing concern or impact the club adversely, then stand by your principles man and tell us, otherwise you are letting everybody down and the club that you profess to hold so dearly, to the point of helping the person that you supposedly least wanted to and by your own admission is incapable of getting us out of this mess. But I suspect that there is no such thing or reason for your turncoat behavior.


Now once again you are coming to DF's defence without any real information or knowledge about the database situation col. Careful mate your mask is slipping.

Wow... perhaps you might need to know a bit more of the story before making that many comments about Col. Granted he may not tell you everything, as I'm sure he hasn't told me everything either, but you are off the mark in alot of your comments

I would think, this action has to have only one outcome for the current board. If there is any other outcome that Denis being proved of these charges then almost instantly there is a huge "Credibility" (I use that word as I think it is the best one to describe what could be lost) hit that comes with it.

Can you imagine the images now. Denis successfully striding back into Parramatta Leagues club to get back to work. It would sink the hearts of many Eels fans from far and wide, those that have made the focus of this election, the chief executive and the "vouchergate scandal".

So the only result for the Board of Directors is for Denis's guilt to be proved, and Denis dismissed. It is an interesting gambit, and one that could back fire almost as hugely as its success could seal the victory at the recent polls.

There was a Japanese blessing that is also a curse, "May you live in interesting times" we certainly do that.

How does one start to suddenly cheer for another team? Either the heart wasnt in it originally or the soul can be sold to the highest bidder and where the best (or only) opportunities lie albeit on a losing team.
Sounds like the change in teams was out of spite for getting the boot from 3p. With no where else to TURN

I thought he was pretty much on the money, bit like when cherol kernot defected, lose a lot of credibilty when you sell something one week then another the next.

Colin supported the original ideas of 3P but he couldn't support some of their plans which he felt weren't in the Clubs best interests. He is very loyal to a few members of 3P and he promised to do that through the election and for the most part he did. It is hard to sit on your hands when you don't agree with what is about to happen, but he pretty much did that. "All it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do nothing." We will see what happens in the long run but Denis and the old Board did really care about the Parramatta Eels as a team and they did put the team first. His financial decisions are questionable at times, but you can't say the team hasn't been competitive most years. Every team has ups and downs. It is yet to be seen what is 3P's motivation but I feel the Parramatta brand / assets is what appeals to them. Put it this way if the Eels went bust in a decades time it would burn the old board immensely and they would be hurt, where as the new board ...

my 5c ...

I think you guys are all being a bit harsh on Col - I don't ever remember him getting stuck into fitzy or other board members - obviously as part of 3P he opposed them, but I thought he was always quite fair minded towards them in what he said

I think its fair to say that if you are the public face of some group you will present a good front for them - there might be times you question stuff but you don't want to blab it all out cos you still have a bond there and want to protect what you are involved with .... now he's not, so he can say whatever he wants .... I'm willing to bet there's probably plenty of dirt he could dump too, but I don't see he is

and I have no idea why the split from 3P happened, but I have no grudge against him then going to do stuff with fitzy for the club .... he can do what he wants without needing everyone on here's approval

Thats exactly right Strides. And regardless of how much each of us know through whatever contacts we claim to have.... only the gentleman involved really know what happened, and I am more than fine with that.

I still argue 3P got rid of quite a few members who "got in their way." There was the mysterious Dr from one of the first newspaper reports among others. 40 people at the initial meeting, now down to around 17, does that mean 23 people were all wrong, or did they also have questions that 3P couldn't answer?
