Interesting to note that your profile is a new one that was only created yesterday? If I was the admin on this site, I would be looking at a more permanent ban.

Let me suggest you crawl back up his.

He's posting from the snow, don't you know? :D

Yawn

Credit for what? When I was 15 years old I guessed that man would eventually walk on the moon's surface... I was so disappointed when NASA never recognised that fact! As Sloonie said... no decent supporter would feed their ego by preying on the misery of fellow supporters. You really are a drop kick RR; and like the drop kick, perhaps you should be phased out as well?

I will cite Sloonie's post from your self promoting twaddle RR: To which my response was going to be (it was rightfully locked before I could finish posting):

+1 But he gets off relatively clean while Scully will suffer the recriminations of the supporters (as can be evidenced in this thread).

A saucer of milk to table three please!

If only it had been that quote you reposted - the post I cited was a completely different one. The poster of the one you cited was discredited on BF, the poster of the one I cited has not. To repeat for the umpteenth time, I believe none of what I read in forums or the press on this issue, as I prefer to take Scully at his word until it is proven otherwise. However, being a public forum, there is absolutely no harm in throwing statements such as that into the mix; people will still believe only what they choose to believe... no harm done.

Ok, that does it! I'm off to join them in that queue and get my name changed to Beef Jerky!

Maybe he can take Trengrove, Silvia and Joel McDonald along to the registry to keep him company :-)

Rattled? No, not really... just a bit nonplussed by your insistence that I am responsible for spreading "scurrilous" material, when it is in fact information that may or may not be true; (and I suggest you look up the dictionary definition of the word "scurrilous" as I think you will find it applies to a large number of posts on this site that are making all sorts of claims and aspersions regarding Scully's character). Yet the fact remains that he did not sign as is evidenced by comments from Scully, his management, and GWS. So, unless you are making "scurrilous" (there's that word again) claims regarding Scully's character and accusing him of being a liar, most of those "facts" are completely irrelevant. Facts can also be used like statistics... they can bend the truth in both directions. Everyone sees what they want to see. I see nothing... as I have previously stated, I choose to take Scully at his word and wait to see what eventuates; I know it's probably an old fashioned notion, but I'm a firm believer in the old adage, "innocent until proven guilty". Time will tell.

Who are you or I to say it is scurrelous or otherwise? And because I choose to offer it up for discussion, it makes me responsible? You were not discussing it... you were discussing my motives for posting it. Get off your high horse ffs! What are the "facts" that you claim to have?... the only facts that I am aware of are that both GWS and MFC have tabled offers. What observations are you basing your "case" on? The $ amount? The scurrelous comments of dodgy reporters? The equally scurrelous comments of certain posters on here who all but accuse TS of lying?

I'm not sure what your problem is. I posted something as a discussion point... as it was a claim someone was making. I made no comment on it at the time and didn't attempt to editorialise; this is a forum that engages in discussion after all. You keep repeating the same things ad infinitum concerning TS's impending departure with no solid facts to back you up (just for the hell of it), yet I put up something a little different and you have a problem it??? I am in the camp that chooses to take TS at his word, and will accept his decision whatever the outcome... I do not say he is gone and I do not say he will stay, because there are no facts to back up either position.

I thought the first few words of the post you were responding to, explained that. There had been a post a little earlier that cited a BF post, and this was from the same thread and in a similar vein; so I thought it was worth adding to the discussion.

I just put it up as a talking point... I'm not buying into any of the crap; theirs or yours ;-)

There was another post on that BF forum as well, that went as follows (again, bucket of salt material): "Just wanted to chime in, Heard on Monday that Tom will be re-signing with Melbourne. (Will be a 1-2 Year Contract) Again, it could be totally wrong and I hope for you guys that it isn't, but this year I have had a 100% strike rate with re-signings and the same source has told me this rumour aswell. Fingers crossed for you guys, and hope the drum beats louder for Tom staying."

You're right DC... I made that comment with a vague recollection of the falafel reference but forgot the context. My mistake and apologies.

Yes, Balmain... what a slum!! Well, we live in Dulwich Hill in a humpy situated on a garbage tip where I get my kids to forage for scrap metal and other items that can be sold, so that we can afford bucket loads of KFC and Maccas; what hope do we have of living the "westie" dream if the kids can't attain pre-pubescent obesity?

Yes NB, I actually raised that very point a few pages earlier :-)

Yes, I work in Gordon (the old Sun building) and live in the Inner West... still has the word "west" associated with it, so I suppose according to some here, I'm a slum dweller :-)

Blacktown actually, I think you will find :-)

Looking at the Sheedy quote, I wouldn't think his confidence is particularly high re Scully signing on... "GWS coach Kevin Sheedy was confident his club would boast a strong midfield, even if Scully decides to stay with the Demons. "We've got four or five boys (midfielders) training already that are very capable of playing league footy next year," Sheedy said. "All of a sudden you're looking at about a dozen players in the midfield. If he's one of them, then so be it."

Yep, it never ceases to amaze me the amount of ignorance there is when it comes to perceptions of Sydney's western suburbs; for example, this whole Blacktown/Falafel connection (saw it used in here a few pages back)... apart from the racist overtones, I think when Eddie said it, he was probably confusing Blacktown with Bankstown (where there is a large mid-eastern population), yet people still persist with it here. Go figure.

Ok, then that makes perfect sense; and in addition, it refutes Diablo Demons' claim that the club and supporters are gutless (an assertion for which I have already taken him to tusk) - we're eating every scrap of that elephant.
