Is it so f***ing hard for some of you illiterates to read?

Sorry genius.....I'll book myself into kindergarden again ASAP.


Here I was thinking that that operative word "NOBODY" might have meant something in that sentence of yours...stupid me #-o

Yes - some players don't want to play under Brian Smith.....AND some players didn't want to play under Daniel Anderson (the man many are wanting to come to lead Parra)....AND a bunch of players didn't want to play under Graham Murray and hence he was sacked from Easts.....AND I am willing to bet that some players don't want to play under Ricky Stuart, Steve Folkes, Wayne Bennett etc etc.....so frickin what - it happens at all clubs.

Sorry, but your statement that NOBODY wants to play under Brian Smith has no merit in my eyes cos there are plenty who do.

Umm...

I believe I stated I was talking about the CONCEPT that nobody wnats to play under Brian, therefore the word nobody doesn't alter the meaning at all.

Oh well then - we'll just leave the word out then shall we?....

The concept that [insert own word/phrase that has no meaning in this sentence] wants to play under Smith has some merit to it.


I'll insert he phrase: "Humphrey B Bear"...because of course this word has no meaning in the sentence.

So...

The concept that Humphrey B Bear wants to play under Smith has some merit to it.

...sorry - I'm still struggling with it.


Look I know I'm being a smart arse prick now, but don't go calling me a "f**king illiterate" for no good reason dude.....the word "nobody" has lots of meaning in what you said.

Yeah look strides - I'm sorry I called you that, I really am.

I've just had such a crappy couple of days and this footy news just contributed to it.

I over-reacted.

Perhaps I should re-phrase: "The concept that some players don't want to play under Smith appears to have some merit."

I'm sorry too....I was probably a bit harsh in my first reaction to it.....all friends :D


Look I agree - several players don't like Smith....for all I know he's a mean bugger....but I don't personally know - so I'll just put it down to different people bond with some people better than others.

I think he's a bit old school - probably goes for more of a boss-employee relationship than a buddy-buddy relationship......I think guys like Jamie Lyon expect more buddy-wuddy type stuff.

But there's plenty of players who want to be told what to do, like a bit of struture and are happy to have a boss rather than a buddy.

Yeah I agree - I know that Brian has been very nice whenever I've spoken to him.

My only concern is that I think there is more to this than meets the eye - we sign Witt to four year deal and then just over a year later we release him. (For the record I thought he was OK but not great).

It all seems very weird. But if it brings success, then I for one am all up for it.

I just hope it does.

And I hope our club isn't falling apart.

I for one don't think the Lyon incident was entirely Brian's fault - I think Jamike just decided he wanted out and that was that.
