Can’t be sure but I think there’s a guy hiding behind a tree over the other side of Gosch’s. He looks not unlike the Paddle Pop Lion and he’s taking notes. #IfIdon’tLaughI’llCry

I’m not OK.

Thank you Jaded. At the risk of sounding corny, I feel seen. I appreciate your post, it’s exactly what I was hoping (and needing) to hear, and some.

You know nothing about Ollie Fan. Zero. Clearly you don’t, because… “hostile”???! LOL. You want hostile/personal attacks? That ain’t Ollie Fan, but there are many others who fit the bill, too many others.

This response typifies Demonland. A poster being told to “grow up” in a thread which invites expression of how we’re feeling about the recent event. I’d sooner eat my own vomit than share my feelings on this thread, a thread wherein we should feel comfortable to talk about it.

Seems folks do want Ed to lie. You must be “very very very naive” just like me, @Pirlo 🤷‍♀️

This thread is for people to share how they’re feeling. HOW DARE you tell Ollie Fan to grow up?!?!

We may never find out. Speculation is all we’ve got and that only causes more angst.

Clearly not all

Guessing is the new Black

At least one member of the leadership group found out via socials. Not guessing, this is a fact.

Seems you’re guessing too

It had been less than 24 hours since learning his coach whom he and his teammates love and respect had been sacked and you wanna read a level of complacency into his comments? Poor Ed was probably still shocked and had yet to get his head around it. You say it speaks to the level of comfort of the playing group under Goodwin. I say it speaks to the sadness and shock of the playing group immediately upon learning of the loss of Goodwin.

What do you mean “couldn’t rouse those players”?!! You seriously think they found out on Facebook because they slept through a video meeting??!! At least three players were wide awake and found out while scrolling on their phones. One found out when his mate told him he heard about it on the radio.

Ed is unashamedly honest. Clearly people aren’t comfortable with that.

So you’d rather he’d lied? Because that’s exactly what he would’ve been doing had he said what YOU expected him to say. You don’t like what he said. That doesn’t mean what he said is wrong. He was expressing HIS feelings, not YOURS.

You’re clearly not familiar with Ed. Dude’s so chill he’s a heartbeat away from a coma. Also, he doesn’t sound like a player striving for a premiership? What does that sound like? Should he have passionately said “YES! THE BOARD IS SPOT ON… WE NEED A NEW VOICE!!” Would that have fit the brief? Never mind that this isn’t how he feels.

You don’t like honesty from our players? I love Ed for telling everyone exactly how he and the other players feel about this sad and sorry mess. Folks complain about players and coaches trotting out the same old hackneyed bs lines, then Ed speaks from his heart and you think he needs a distraction???!

Clearly not all of them were present. At least three players found out by feeds in their socials.

It wasn’t a player, the players found out via Facebook and other socials at the same time everyone else did.

What’s your point? This is an implication dressed up as a question but I can’t work out what you’re getting at.

Don’t you mean they MIGHT be wondering? Sounds as though you’ve written him off already.

You said if he doesn’t show more in the next three weeks he should be delisted. I’m saying you know full well that won’t happen, so why say it? You don’t know if Jai will make it. I don’t know if Jai will make it. The difference is I’d sooner err on the side of positivity. You should try it.

Jai could play the next three games at an ordinary level and he still wouldn’t be delisted. You know this. Therefore you’re trolling.

I agree but unfortunately this won’t happen. We’ll only ever see TC if Max is unable to play.
