Nice attempt at rational debate in the carney thread

It's a pity some knuckle draggers just seem to be incapable of getting the points you are making

Ashton is hard done by. He's never been the same since Clint Newton annihilated his face, but I've never thought of him as a bad player personally. I would have had him at Parra. Probably still would, although now we're going ok so he might not crack the side....

There are some pretty silly opinions on your side of the debate too, butchy. As it often does, the middle ground makes the most sense to me.

Far enough apey

There does seem to be a pretty decent divide between both camps on this issue

The problem is you have lunatics like El Diablo essentially solely blaming the media for the game's image.

By middle ground I mean acknowledging it's ultimately the player's fault for being a complete f**king moron, that is obvious and anyone who denies this is just being dishonest. Still, it's a sorry state of affairs when a guy drinking his own piss is copping more than an alleged rapist and the media is more concerned about the former than the latter. I think you'd be naive to say the media don't play a major part too. Two wrongs don't make a right, so to speak.

I tried, I really did. It's too bad guys like El D and Danish are so hell bent on blaming the media.

They've played their part, but they can only report on the fires they see. If Carney hadn't pissed in his own mouth, we wouldn't be in this predicament.

Even Perez Hilton and other media profiles are getting among it. I got a FB message from my relative in Arizona, saying "What did this Todd Carney guy do?" :lol:
