Have the regular posters (that have kept this off beat thread going for so many years) died, become disinterested or simply gone away. The only constant seem to be the usual floggings and maid stories, the dedication of thread founder, Redleg, and the droll observations of OD. 

The thread seems to be irrelevant and passe to the cognoscenti of Demonland.

Time to bring down the curtain boys?

 

 

Ernest I simply cannot believe what I reading from you. I can only assume you are recovering from one of your benders and you are deep within one of your equally famous depressions. Shame shame shame

Ohhh, I love it when you talk dirty in a foreign language Earnest...

No and thank you for the compliment Ernie.

We don't need to close threads as if nobody reads them or posts them they get consigned to the lower pages of DL.

Since I find it a sanctuary, from the constant personal attacks on posters who proffer a different opinion, on most other threads, it needs to remain, as a place where Demon fans can come and be entertained or voice their opinion, without fear of denigration.

I am even in favour of football topics being discussed on here and here is one to start some discussion, among the illuminari of this wonderful thread.

AVB and KK need to play a large number of games for us this year or they will be off the list at season's end. Also, I fail to understand why we kept the Wagners, who I don't see getting games this year and who are not as good as several of the DFA's available and many of the kids who are in the draft.

Discuss away people.

I heard a whisper that SOS is leaving the Blue scum.

Anyone else heard anything on that topic?

So for those like Ernie and WJ who want to end this thread, it was the first to break this major piece of Footy News. Even Ethan T will acknowledge the far reaching news resources of Redleg and the thread.

Long may this thread live and inform the world.

Go and give yourself a jolly good ghostly flogging Ernie.

You'll be a better man for it.

Shadow, I am an Ernest person that Earns no money and spend my days wondering what could have been.  You know that my publishers and friends took all my money. 

It is true, I find foreign languages alluring particularly after a bottle of tipple. Even if I am only watching late movies on SBS.

On a site full of nutters, you are a bastion of sanity.

Thank you Ernie and so eloquently stated, as befitting your journalistic artistry.

Good God Ernie, what an archaic notion!

As an occasional contributor I too have missed the usual appearance of the thread. I doubt the plea to interpose some actual football dialogue would do anything but reduce the overall streams of consciousness that regularly inhabit the site. I read recently that Nick Cave had identified the beach as, the sand representing the conscious mind and the water representing the subconscious.

Didnt have a clue what that meant but have grappled with the need to redefine the diving board in the pool.

And what of the significance of the banana as an economic unit to rival the bitcoin? When does the abstract replace the obtuse?

The potential of the Chaos theory to overwhelm the simplest of observations reduces football matters to just another variable in the complexity of life.

Well must be drawing closer to the inanities of the game but never let this thread be halted.

I’m back after an extended stay out near Beaufort .

I won’t bore you with the details but I managed to reacquaint myself with some Christian values and received some guidance from a fairly senior “ Rock Chucker”.

Will bless you with the details once computer and carriage service device privileges are restored fully.

This should keep the thread going into eternity.

Red will be pleased, others thoughtful and good old  Uncle simply bewildered.

it may also bring Biffin back to reality.

Obviously a man of great intelligence.

I have no idea why you are a MFC supporter!

Perhaps because he is a philosophical nihilist who still retains loyalty to lost causes. 

Or maybe he is a skeptic that thinks that 2018 was an aberration and a new beginning.

Unlike your conclusion OD, i think that an essential requirement of being a MFC supporter is intelligence.  You need intelligence and humility to rationalize and process all the vicissitudes that come with our eternal loyalty.

Sadly. I Will have to disagree Ernest the chief requirement of being a MFC devotee would have to be a lack of sanity.

No sane person would continue supporting the MFC through the last 55 years.

Only people who suffer from grand delusions would continue.

I have heard the term reality shock, that would be the status if Biffen is even close, and Uncle and bewilderment are joyous company.

As to others being thoughtful, that option is usually missing on the new instant social media channels, if this thread is an outpost it occasionally also moves into the error of instant response being more relevant than any considered process.

It would be admirable to have red pleased but I believe he already inhabits a higher state..

But thanks for your comments which I have always s enjoyed usually only as an observer.
