Having a dig at an opposition player is part and parcel of these boards, it will happen in every thread you read mostly and it is highly unlikely said player will ever see it.

You made a direct insult to somebody which may have upset them, it isn't comparable at all.

No I was pointing out to you that Ian Lenagan publicly stated in the Wigan Observer that Hock had to demonstrate that he was employable.

Buy the paper, and read the article.
Or are you questioning what I read?

A bit like you not believing that I heard Leon Pryce say on Wish FM that Saints weren't as good an attacking team under Simmons.

Rogues, nobody is referring to your silly little article or Gareth Hock. You know that just as well as SaintsFan and myself, you made an underhand, low comment to which you know you was out of order. You are now trying to be ignorant to the whole situation to try and get yourself out of it.

This is not about Gareth Hock.

So it's o.k. to insult a player.

I merely defended that player and referenced a published article in a local newspaper.

Buy the newspaper, or pm me and I'll deliver it to you (as I only live in Billinge) then I'll accept you apology.

I should be a mod on here, everyone knows that. So I'll say it.

Shut up you lot or I'll ban you all.

I don't give two hoots about the article and it's you that should be apologising. From the AUP:

2.1. Comments that are wholly designed to upset or cause distress to other members are prohibited on this site.



That was a direct insult at SaintsFan and her employment status. Yes it is okay to light heartedly insult a player, after all this a public forum about the players. They won't read this and will never be offended by it.

But you haven't included the rest of the post after "he's got a job" have you, to which that first part of the post referred.

Are you going to read that article or not?

Because until you do, you have no justification, except in your own devious mind.

Oh, and I didn't know if she has got a job or not, the last I read was that she was going for an interview, at which I wished her good luck.

No I haven't.

You and I both know that the first part of your post wasn't in reference to Gareth Hock. It was a sly, underhand insult.

players might read it, what is Saintsfan employment status?...if you cant answer either withut asking them then you are as guilty as you claim Rogues to be.

I'm not going to state another members employment status on the boards, read back and she makes reference to it herself.

I've edited my post above, please read it.

Do you want to read the article to which I have consistently referred?

I've read it Rogues and I know that you was having a dig at her. I'll read the article if I stumble across the Wigan Observer. However, I'm not going out at 5 to midnight to buy a paper.

There is nothing on this thread that indicates her employment status.

Try looking through page 4.

Anyway, I can't be bothered with you Rogues, I have better things to do. I'm not going to bother checking this thread again.

Apologies, but that was after my original post.

Are you going to read that article?

Yes there is and you know full well that I am unemployed. You have made other personal gibes about it before just as you have about me being a teacher.

What did you teach?

Do. I qualified last year. Primary.

Surely with the increase in population and the need for more schools, work will be just around the corner?
You'll get there

What a petty, sly, uncalled for dig.

Thought you were better than that.

Alas, nationally 50% of newly qualified teachers from 2010 are yet to find their first job. That's added to the 30% from the previous year. And now, this year as well! Not much hope, but I keep trying.

There's always the dreaded 'That London'.

Yes, there is. There are a jobs available in London year round. It's the only place where that appears to be the case.

Ok, this has gone way too far.
Personal insults Brian? I'm a bit surprised to be honest
