Speaking of my Riff mates, word is Burton will not be released early under any circumstance. Laurie could still be released though. Looks like a lot of hate in the direction of Trent way out west!
Yeah, the pillage of the panthers continues unabated. I’m still waiting for Mansour to be announced, maybe a few more options to consider.
I can barely remember a side with as much smug breaking up so promptly and effortlessly.
That Ivan hasn’t been able to instill a skerrick of loyalty in anyone is understandable as he can’t be believed or trusted, given his conduct with us. No one wants to take factory or unders. Everyone rates themselves higher than Clive Churchill.
But I postulate that the deeper reason for the grand fracture is due to Nado and his alleged drug problem.
18 appearances and potentially a number of these with drugs in his system. We don’t know how many times he thought he was on a broomstick wearing a blonde wig flying through the flames of hades when the rest of us thought he was breaking the line.
When we thought he had scored, who is to say he wasn’t thinking he was in a dialogue with a mystical giant camel and he was cleaning one of its fetlocks?
Of course he probably saw most of the cheering smug fans as tap-dancing vegan ferrets, but so did we, so no effect there.
To be fair is that we attribute minus 12 points to the panthers and everyone moves up a notch.
in defence of nado:
But to take the nado position, what was the reading? What if he ingested 100, 000th of a microgram because he opened his mouth to breathe at a record industry party? What if the amount was so small it could have no effect on performance?
They say every u.s banknote has a few mgs of crap on it.
Lets not judge him too early without the hard science behind our conclusions. He deserves the benefit of the doubt, even in this over-regulated paradise full of uniformed schmucks.
At any rate, it will be perceived as tainted smug and by a mass exodus, the players seem to be ending this chapter of their career pronto.
If he admits or is proven to take a high level of the drug, then I’d say 6 months rehab, some community work and counselling and we should welcome him back next year.
If he’s sniffing away in the change room before the gf, he’s in complete darkness and I’m not sure the game is good for him. It’s let him down. That can happen.
