No idea what happened here.



Yo! My man.

End of subject now for me.

Man hug, by the way.


This is what I put.

Man hugs all round everyone



Think the forum went gaga for a bit because I posted my response ages before it appeared.

at the cup semi last year, i was sat infront of a scouse women who obviously was very passionate about wigan. But her hatered to amos last year was so over the top that all of us around her we're pleading for him to have a blinder! unfortunately it didn't happen. She shouted every expletive i could think of at him, some completely uncalled for, eventually us around here had enough and told her to shut up.

But i am begging to find her at an away match soon just so i can hear her opinion of him now! I'm even more over joyed with his turn around just because of her.

If half of you were as good at playing the stock market as you claim to be judging RL talent, then you would all be driving Porsches....

Look, last year Roberts was gash.

In his THREE performances this season, I am delighted to say that he has impressed.

However, using that same logic Pat Roberts is a cr&p goalkicker.


Very happy to stand by my posts then as I do now.

So you still think he brings nothing to the team and is gash? Very bold statement BK (and completely wrong I might add!)

Sometimes I wonder if you actually read posts or just spout nonsense........


I have said that he has impressed this season (which he has)

I said that last year he was gash (which he was)


Not that difficult to grasp is it?

Brett, repeating the same opinion over and over again doesn't make you correct, he wasn't gash last season and he's not gash this season. Take it like a man like Deano G has done. Or at least edit the bloody thing and start saying he was gash (in your opinion) then we can just ignore it.

As it is not difficult to spot talent even if they aren't neccessarily playing to potential. Strangely, you are singularly incapable of doing so. Still, at least you make up for it with the intransigence of your opinions. To paraphrase: Those who shout loudest know the least....

What a strange post.

...and admit he was wrong??? Were you always an optimist SEB or is it just the feelgood factor kicking in?

Really? Which words are you struggling with?

Last year he was bloody awful.

It's very easy to sit here now after THREE games and claim that he was good all along.

The reality is that he wasn't. He was rubbish.

I am delighted to be able to say that he is having a great season so far.

No, last year the reality was you thought he was rubbish. Lets just leave it at.

Well I can only post my opinions m8. I can't post those of other people.

So you actually missed that people were saying it [uat the time[/u? You really do like to write your own history, don't you?

No, he wasnt.

Was he worth the hype or the 4 year deal?

Did he perform like his reputation suggested he would?

The answer to both those questions is no, but he wasn't "rubbish".

I do try to live in hope

I wouldn't...it'll never happen!

Then post them as an opinion not as a fact

He was rubbish = you're making a statement of fact
I think he was rubbish = you're stating your opinion

Even: He looked rubbish = you're making a statement of observation (which is implicitly personal)

That's why people get annoyed at the things you say, the way you're wording them as a fact rather than an opinion.

It's a forum. 95% of things posted on here are opinions. We can't expect every poster to precede every statement by "in my opinion". That much has to be presumed.


"Rubbish" by it's very definition is a subjective word. There is no absolute definition of rubbish, and therefore each and every use of the word necessitates opinon.

I'm just trying to give you a little insight into why people's backs get put up so much by some of what you post.

And I didn't think the word Rubbish was open to a great deal of debate:

–noun
1.
worthless, unwanted material that is rejected or thrown out; debris; litter; trash.
2.
nonsense, as in writing or art: sentimental rubbish.

Seems fairly limited in scope.

Anyways, not going to carry it on.

Who's he???
