What does 'prima donnas' have to do with anything?

..oh, you're a little unusual.

No worries, moving on......

Your signature is apt.

I've too little time to educate you on the social meaning of prima donnas.

It tends to be the prima donnas that automatically jump to conclusions, or worst case scenarios. They then get very narky when called to account. When I first heard that Sylvia walked off with a "lower leg injury", I immediately thought 'ankle' or 'calf strain'. OP never crossed my mind.

Mind you I'm a little unusual. I tend to comprehend what I read.

Sorry. Who are you again? How about you speak when you're spoken to, eh? Since you've gotten involved, let me make it plain.

This is a footy forum. Much of what goes on here is guesswork. What will happen this season, who will have a good year. Sometimes it's negative... ie, who will decline/fall back with the pack.

When all we get is online resources, the footy show and Hutchy to spell things out for us, sometimes we're left to the internet to fill in the gaps. The reports, at the time of my original post, were such that SOME posters were suggesting a leg injury. Some were saying he was only limping. I had word in private that all they could see was that he had discomfort somewhere below the hip.

Now. Given what we know about Colin, it's fair to say that OP WAS a possibility at that time. So I come on here, and I very gently suggest that it could be a possibility again. Understand, for the umpteenth time that I never claimed to have any more knowledge than anyone else (a fact that's COMPLETELY lost on a few people here), and that my post was nothing more than an educated guess. But isn't this a footy forum? Isn't that what we're here for? If that's a bit of a touchy subject for you, then isn't this a bit of a pot calling the kettle black? I simply suggested what other posters also had on their mind, and you come on and call others prima donnas? Fair go.

The next time you have a problem with something I post, pm me instead of playing who's the better poster. Or better yet, don't post anything at all.

At least Dappa's initial post was brief, be thankful for small mercies - my scroll wheel gets tired ...

I wonder. Will old get a warning here as well from the powers that be?

This thread is going nowhere now and since there's been another training session in the interim (albeit that it's only been going for about 18 minutes) I'm locking this one up.

Thanks.
