awesome.. so when you were graduating from high school she was in year 1...

Oh, and I didn't "graduate" from high school.... I finished... f**king americanisms....

Nah rather be at the pub watching the ash's and such mate, sorry you've obviously had a few such incidents in your life but lighten the f**k up, its a football forum girly.

obviously doesn't resonate with you baron...

but if you make the same sorts of jokes in public as you do behind a keyboard, i'd love to be a fly on the wall the day someone else takes offence..

Nah not at all mate, and I doubt you'll find more then 5 people who have been offended who arent Dragons fans in this thread.

 

[20knights10]

you feel the need to boast to a complete stranger about having a swedish wife who is 11 years younger, i'll feel the need to judge..

you can feel what you want mate... still makes you look like there's a lot of empty space in the attic... :?

go easy mate.... at the rate you're digging you'll reach the molten core by day's end.....

 

[muzby]

you seem to have gotten waay off track of the whole debate.. somehow you've gone from discussing football to having you boasting about being able to work whatever hours you like and enjoying the company of younger swedish wife..

the cynic in me thinks that you've tried to build your e-penis up, but have suddenly realised you've gone too far...

afterall, you're still sitting here arguing with a stranger on the internet about a premiership for a team that you abandoned 31 years ago....

 

[20knights10]

see there's the problem... the cynic in you not only thinks, it puts those thoughts in the public domain.... for all to criticise.....

 

[muzby]

if i cared what others thought of me, i'd be trying to boast about how great my life & wife are..

but i'm not the one doing that now, am i?

 

[20knights10]

If I really cared what you thought of me I'd tell you I was an illawarra supporter since 1908 and they died in 1998 and now I am celebrating my team winning it's 16th premiership, instead of questioning why you think that because I stay up late I'm phoning 1900 numbers or that if i get up early I'm desperate to argue with strangers on the internet....

I'll let you in on a little secret... I'm here because I'm bored and have run out of things to do around the house... and for some reason i have never been able to fathom when you challenge the dragon's fans there is always an abundance of idiots that will keep the entertainment going long past it's use by date.....

I would say someone as judgemental as you cares ohhh very much. You barley touched the topic, all you do is look for an avenue to judge people. You pretend not to care about the topic because each time you had a go you got smashed.

Over the many years that I've tangled with dragons supporters one thing has always stood out... they rush to the defence of each other if there's even a semblance of logic being challenged.. no matter how small... but here you are... your defence pronounced by it's absense...

back on topic... is Scorch the official mascot of the STGI Dragons?

actually the last couple of pages have been pretty much been me and baron discussing his kiddie bashing comment, and you having a hissyfit, counting words in peoples posts and big noting yourself..

so yes, i'd fully expect that it would be pretty quiet in here..


btw.. still bored? maybe take the ferrari for a spin out to your vineyard.. i hear your private jet needs a fly too...

It's alright mate... I can see where you're going with this.... to bottom of this and beyond...

I'll do us both a favour and end the discussion with you here... I know Softy and Baron will continue to lend you their shovels but I'm dropping out of this with you... I had hoped it would break the boredom but I realise now that trying to dialogue with you is like standing precariously on the edge of the big hole you've created for yourself.....

 

[muzby]

aww.. you're going? such a shame.. i'll be sure to give you a buzz when i'm in perth..

all the best

I had missed this post earlier....

I'd very much like to see one.

Unfortunately it's impossible to conduct a proper one here.

I've seen emails that have been sent to the NRL, the response (usually from John Brady) is pretty dismissive.

The club has made various approaches to the NRL to fix this. To date, it hasn't gone to the next level. It is my view that the club should do more, but these things usually require someone with the time and energy to be instrumental in bringing it all together. We had one such football club director some years ago, he listened to everyone and made things happen. But tragically he passed away well before his time.

So there has been some attempt to change the record books at an official level then. You're pretty adamant that it should be done, so what exactly is your strongest argument to support the claim that StGI has officially won 16 premierships?

Look, I think when the traditions of the game start to erode, we all lose something.

Many traditions have gone or changed and yes there has been some erosion if you want to look at it that way, but there have been some improvements to the game as well.

I was brought up on the Sydney comp and respect the clubs that formed the backbone to the greatest game in Australia - and in the world.

When Souths won their battle and starting competing again, I thought it was a victory for tradition. When 'the Sydney Bulldogs' changed back to being called Canterbury Bankstown, I thought it was great. In fact, I never stopped calling them Canterbury. Same with Manly, Menzies is always a one club player to me. The list goes on.

When Canterbury play Saints, do we think the clubs have only been playing each other over the last decade? The same with Souths. How can you explain the passion and rivalry that is so deeply ingrained in the opposing supporter bases?

The great Sydney clubs of the NSWRL may be playing in a different national competition, but to me they are still the first grade, and I congratulate the NRL on maintaining the continuation of that history. But that's where their flexibility seems to end. It seems they have a dilemna with "what to do with St George". They've gone for the easy option while other competitions have been more flexible.

Emotional claptrap... the dilemma of what to do with StGI was decided in 2005 when the Tigers won their maiden premiership. You want that part now changed to suit yourself.

As for these silly discussions. Well I've lost count of the amount of times I've heard and read that we have been 'chokers since 1979'. Now that that's in the dustbin, we are expected to accept to some new tripe about it being premiership #1.

It's hardly new and it's hardly tripe. You're in the same situation as the Tigers of 2005. That was settled easily and with little fuss. The fuss now is only caused by a ridiculous demand that Dragons supporters want official record to show something that is simple not logical.... bleat on as much as you want about not caring what anyone else thinks.. if this were true you wouldn't be suggesting that the official records change to suit your whim... and this thread wouldn't be approaching 2000 posts....

The point is, this type of sledging doesn't spring up overnight. It was born out of the old tribal rivalry of the Sydney comp. For some of us, it is in our blood. For some others, it was handed down from our parents. Quite frankly, I'm pleased to see that it is still alive and well. And tradition - in a strange way - is still being observed and respected. If only the sore losers could admit to it.

It's nice to see StGI supporters get to call others sore losers, especially after the 1999 GF... many years after 1999.... but it's also good to be a part of the sledging because as you say the rivalry hasn't sprung up overnight, and it will continue on for many years to come...

but nothing to date warrants the StGI team to officially be recognised as having won 16 premierships......

oh... and see how upset I am..?? I must be so riled up... keyboard melting... steam from the ears... blah blah....

For once could you address the question, why should the official records show that the St. George Illawarra team has won 16 premierships? and how couldit be justified? Please don't use geneology or BHP to demonstrate why.....
