Is this the story Garry Lyon didn’t want to go with and passed on to Edmund? The way they talked that up it was huge

I support you, I'm in no RUSH Ian, pardon the pun.
Fact is you will eventually be proven correct, even if it takes years.

This is fake news and MSN leftist bias, believe me! Multiple posts in this thread, can you believe it, this very thread! Many many examples of baiting, and even of outright abuse, yes, outright abuse. Yet, the biased leftist Mexican-loving media picks out a harmless reference to my great friend Mr Huggins!?!The Real Numpty wrote:Straight swap for Peta Seale, believe me!

And baiting??? Ian Rush is a fine patriot, a swamp drainer, and a well-credentialled multi-media entrepreneur. Yet he cops abuse! So much abuse, believe me! All from those socialist Mexican muslim North Korean sympathisers. Yet, when this great patriot finally draws a line in the coal dust, pulls out his NRA-approved semi automatic, and fires off a warning shot in defence of his family and his football club!!! He gets an abuse warning! Can you believe it!?! Believe me! #makingfakenews&msnleftistbiasgrateagain

I must apologise folks.
I've just been speaking to your President Tremble. He explained to me that it's all about your local sense of humour, and something called irony. I don't do ironing. I do do iron. Nobody does iron like I do, believe me. But this irony............?

I actually got a chuckle out of that one. Baiting? Maybe, but if we can't have a crack at one another then the fun will be drained out of the site pretty quickly. Easy on the influential weight.

Re: Gillon McL to Resign Immediate (Friday)
It looks like Rushie got it wrong again.
I’m going out on a limb and predicting he’ll resign sometime in the next 10 years. Feel free to bookmark this post and give me heaps if he’s still around at the start of the 2028 season.

Dear Numpty, thanks for the being the only US President that has had the skills, determination and balls to stop the NK's from continuing their nuclear weapons program. All in your 1st term and year as POTUS! You have made the Korean Peninsula great again and brought peace to those lands!
Even Paul Keating agrees that you are great at foreign diplomacy!

Gill has resigned... to the fact that InaRush was wrong.
As ex-president Peter Summers said:
“If we are going to be a contender, we may as well plan to win the bloody thing.”

Re: Gillon McL to Resign Immediate (Friday)
Don't worry, Rushy. People on here bemoan the lack of news and when someone pops their head over the turret, they quickly shoot it off. Most rumours don't come off, but it's what keeps sites like this alive. It's all gossip and opinions. If you are proven right, no one will acknowledge you. If you are wrong there will be a posse of ignoramuses with torches and pitchforks ready to drag you to the gallows.
The story is the most massive in the AFL's history. Obviously the media and major newspapers agree. The usual numpties respond accordingly as they lack the intelligence to see it's significance. Some even take a cheap shot with an attempt to skewer you with what is humour to them, only because they lack the intelligence to appreciate the gravity of the situation. Keep us updated, Rushy!

Re: Gillon McL to Resign Immediate (Friday)
Caroline Wilson was on 3AW YESTERDAY saying that the AFL were furious with Robinson and Fox Footy over the airing of these questions (about Gil resigning from CEO job) and that apparently there have been high-level board discussions about it all today. Apparently the AFL said they were prepared to go as high as Rupert Murdoch to get this resolved!

Re: Gillon McL to Resign Immediate (Friday)
Listened to a bit of 3AW's Sportsday Monday night and when discussion came up about the AFL Twilight GF possiblity, Dwayne Russell seemed to be cryptically suggesting that Gillon won't be around for that much longer (at least not beyond this year).
