The July London Irish thread

[Icy Gull]

Personally bored with all the sniping at LI that litters threads that he contributes to. I find his threads interesting and well thought out, even when I don't agree with them or some of his political opinions.

Does he piss you off or is it just a vendetta from a minority that sees so much sniping

 

[tedebear]

Couldn't care less frankly...he'll be soooooooooooo delighted theres a thread to plump up his ego!!

 

[Woodchip]

Doesn't piss me off, but does spout some utter bollocks

 

[Da Man Clay]

Yep, i agree with that.

I guess you could put me in the vendetta minority, but having been on the end of his belittling on many occasion when I first started posting on here I have reason to dislike him.

However I totally agree about his posts (something I even said before it became fashionable), they are usually well constructed arguments.

I will say since people began really laying into him his attitude to other posters has improved dramatically, he even listens to other people's opinions now and again. Still quite enjoy baiting him, but only in the way I do Spielberg.

Only occasionally pisses me off. Tedebear is right, he'll be well excited there is another thread about him. It's a shame, because although I don't agree with 99% of things he says, his arguments are usually well thought out and interesting to read. He just lets himself down when he starts name calling etc. And I have never ever seen him admit that he was wrong on something.

 

[Silent Bob]

Sometimes.

He makes some good points but his inability to admit any kind of mistake on McGhee's part is odd.

Perhaps he is MM

 

[Silent Bob]

I doubt it, as I said, he makes some good points.

Interesting idea. Had never thought for that. Maybe 'Irish' is actually code for 'Scottish' and 'London' is code for 'Brighton'.

Hmmm

Hmmm

Irish = Celtic = Scottish
London = Brighton in land = Brighton

Brighton Scottish! The code has been cracked!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Not really - Has some good points

 

[Big G]

He has this ability to annoy the hell out of me with his lefty rantings..........

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Doesn't annoy me about the Albion - he speaks sense. As for his political rantings?

You'll have TLO after you

 

[Dave the OAP]

IMHO, he has as much right to post whatever he likes on here.

His lack of ability to see the other point of view is certainly not his most endeering facet, however that can be said for a lot of us.

Personally I have taken to skipping his posts when they appear as without fail you can predict what they are going to say.

He does follow a cracking Rugby side though.

Dave is it true if you like Rugby you have to suck another mans willy even if your not a gay?

 

[Dave the OAP]

Of course...that goes without saying.


.....and its best to be on first name terms with the prop in front of you as A) you are going to have to stick your face between his and the hookers thighs and b) you have to grab his shorts just above the bollocks.

Whe its all wet, smelly and slimy Rugby is a very macho game.

Brighton Scottish! The code has been cracked!

Therefore.... London Irish... Welcome to the BHAlbas

If one thing you have to admire him for his unfailing loyalty to McGhee, I have pretty much always felt that sense of loyalty to most Albion managers down the years (with a few exceptions) and so know exactly that it isnt as misguided as a lot of us think.

Everywhere McGhee has gone he has faced fans who either loved him or hated him, there seems to be no happy medium with McGhee, in my little set-to's with LI, I have always tried to provide REASONS or FACTS as to why McGhee is the most tactically inept non personality of a manager we have ever had at the club and he at last has admitted in a round about fashion that there are two opinions in the happy camp of Albion fans that one man cannot change.

LI came into NSC at a time when the 'old guard' of posters and cynics probably outweighed the positive party line majority that the board now posseses and was therefore loved by many of the bobblers who previously had very little collective voice other than when the Lemon Sherbets were being passed round the Costa Express.

At least he is more entertainment value than the ten a penny 'new generation NSC' of internet hyperyouth who think that 3000 posts on an message board combined with some vague knowledge of PC football games makes them some kind of authority on all matters Albion.
