I have proof - as do you. It's written on this thread.Les Biehn said:Excellent addition to the debate TLO, you must be chuffed
I would love to know what you are refering to, or is it just an accusation you want to drop in without any proof just to sully my argument.

I'll leave you to go and find it.
Super-fan agenda? And you have the neck to call me judgemental? Do explain what it means, then explain how I fit into it. No really, please do.Les Biehn said:No, looked through and can't find me suggesting anyone else is biased apart from saying you have a super fan agenda as a counter point to you assuming some sort of anti Mayo/anti club agenda that you still can't come up with a decent motive for.
It is terribly tiresome debating with you TLO, it's like LI without the histrionics.
I never at any point said, suggested or implied 'everyone'.Kinky Gerbils said:You had been suggesting that everyone but you and a select few saw the good that Kerry did

The Large One said:I just suppose NSC always needs a target.

I, on the other hand, will consider his (and everyone else's of course) positive contributions to the game, for they are many - if that's alright.
The Large One said:I have also stated with what I see, hear and experience regards the anti-Mayo diatribes - again you have overlooked those comments. As for the motives - at the risk of making you feel even more 'tired' (diddums), and repeating myself ad nauseum - you'd have to ask the people in question, something I've also already stated.
Why you keep saying I haven't could easily be seen as an indication of either something quite sinister, or a spectacular lack of thought and reasoning. I'll work out which it is later. Or perhaps not. Maybe you might be able to enligten me yourself. But tehen, those are your issues, I suppose. The fact you find me tiresome is, I'd suggest, also your problem.
No, I didn't say that. Don't bring yourself down to Les' level by putting words into my mouth.Kinky Gerbils said:You seem to think everyone that doesnt rate Mayo has a bias against him, so thats pretty much everyone apart from you, Yorkie and a few others.
The Large One said:No, I didn't say that. Don't bring yourself down to Les' level by putting words into my mouth.
To keep asking for an explanation for it is really just going round in circles - I don't know the answer.
OK, let's thake this bit by bit.Les Biehn said:The first comment there condems everyone else who posts on here and the second one, which followed closely behind, is you highlighting what a great fan you are.
Does being realistic make you negative?
This also follows on to the second part of your post. You have named a few examples of stuipid fans (who I have acknowledged exist) but then suggest some wide spread anti-Mayo agenda that you have no proof for.
'Sinister', 'spectacular lack', 'issues'. It appears you find it easier to load your post with insinuations rather than actually provide me with the proof of this widespread anti-Mayo agenda. This is why it is tiresome debating with you TLO.
Yorkie said:The bottom line about the contract is that he had to be selected by the manager for a certain amount of games (ie half of them)
Kerry has been consistently selected by every manager over the last 10 years. When Adams had his big clear out, he kept Kerry.

Les Biehn said:I don't even necessarily want a factual answer, a plausible hypothesis as to why you think there is a widespread anti-Mayo agenda would be nice. One I could engage with and that would allow me to see your reasoning behind it.
One, I don't think it is widespread - I never said nor implied that I believed it was. So that's putting words into my mouth for one.Les Biehn said:Nice one for that first sentence TLO, if you don't have an answer just try and smear the other person.

The Large One said:The first point about the NSC target is a jocular aside. It's not a backtrack, it's a lapse into the vernacular for when NSC - at times - can appear be on a witch hunt. Does being realistic make me negative? Not necessarily, not any more than being negative makes be realistic. But this hardly enters into the realms of superfandom. At least, not my interpretation of superfan - you haven't explained your interpretation, even though I did ask.
The Large One said:Your paragraph starting 'This also...' slightly contradicts itself. You acknowledge 'stupid fans' behaviour (your words, not mine), implying that you believe there are some people who are out of order in their criticism and grief towards Kerry, correct? Then state that there is no evidence of an anti-Mayo agenda. From what I and others around me hear at Withdean, I can ascertain that one leads on from the other. So, for you, which one is it?
The Large One said:Also, I never said that it was widespread - yet in the same post, you have said twice that I did (try and find out where I said that - I have not even implied it, I said it exists).
The Large One said:What comes across as evident is that the management at the club rates Kerry Mayo far higher than many fans do. And there is more to Kerry's contribution than hoofing the ball into touch.
The Large One said:So if you really don't want to debate with me, why are you bothering?
