Bomber Thompson admits Cats, Saints don't get along

SainterK · Post: # 766274Post **SainterK** » Wed 01 Jul 2009 3:34pm

MARK Thompson admits there is an edge to the Cats' intense rivalry with St Kilda ahead of their blockbuster on Sunday.

Cats captain Tom Harley tried to play it down yesterday, but Thompson says there is extra feeling when the two sides play.

Geelong and St Kilda are unbeaten after 13 rounds and this will be one of the biggest home-and-away games in the league's history.

"I don't think we like each other too much," Thompson said.

He adds Geelong will have no trouble with their players being aggressive, provided they stay within the rules.

Cats fullback Matthew Scarlett is likely to receive extra attention from the Saints following his verbal confrontation with St Kilda legend Robert Harvey at the end of last year's qualifying final.

"Matty will be ready for it - he's a really blunt, direct person," Thompson said.

Can't imagine Ross Lyon being so childish and unprofessional as to make these sorts of comments.

They are either silly or mildly inflamatory, depending on your point of view, but they certainly serve no useful purpose.

I know fancy saying something that is obviously true to everyone which is involved inside the clubs. He is a fool. He is acting like a child with that one line comment.

He loves pointing out that we might be 'aggressive' prior to a big game.

BRING IT ON FISH LIPS

...Can't see our players shaking in the their boots at his suggestion it will be physical...

We have the capacity to more than match them in that area this year...

Heard the interview. Total misrepresentation. Roo was on later and said similar stuff ie "we hate all teams" we don't like being beaten. Gees some people want to turn it into a religious war. the players and coaches have far more perspective than the fans. Both sides aspire to being the best. Sunday night we will know which is the best on that day at least.

Fishlips is an out and out tool.

A BORING tool at that.

No bugger it I wasn't finished...

Imagine a GROWN MAN jumping on NATIONAL MEDIA and going all sooky la la because 'sob sob ... my list doesn't get rated as highly as THEIR list and it really really makes me mad sob sob...'

And now he says 'nyer nyer nyer nyer-nyer we don't like each other...'

It's pre school stuff.

The guy is a twit.

He is a terrible coach with a terrible record.

I was waiting for one of the usuals to pipe up and offer the bleeding obvious.

No one is debating that, you nong.

This is about his public persona.

Can't stand the muppet.

Why is he an arsehole. Do you know him. You have your opinion I will have mine. He has done nothing wrong by me so why would I dislike him. Because he coaches another club. Big deal.

His record as a coach is great that is all I know.

What then is your opinion of his public/media persona which, as far as I can tell, is what is being discussed?

He has said nothing in public for me to dislike him. Comes across as a decent person who happens to coach a side we do not follow.

Well, in my opinion, you are either taking the wee or not watching or listening closely enough.

So it's fair to say you don't really have an opinion of him....

Pretty sure I said he was a decent person. Is that not an opinion of him or should I be like some on here and hate this and hate that.

saint patrick · Wed 01 Jul 2009 4:43pm

I hate my hatred of Fish Lips being questioned

I just don't like or respect him ...ok???

Meh... you said he comes across as a decent person, which is fairly non-committal... but so what if others think he comes across as an ar$ehole?

He comes across as arrogant to me.... hope that's ok.

Thats fine if you want to feel that way. I just one guy why he was an arsehole. I even said he has his opinion I have mine. Arent we allowed to ask questions on here. Have I said to anyone you are not allowed to dislike him?
