Hornby retirement will fuel Pearce rumours again

[Guest]

You keep cheering every drop ball, miss tackle, pass over the sideline if it keeps you happy. If you are happy that players only turn up for the coin then you absolutely deserve every loss the club dishes out to its supporters.

So then,we sack him.Whom do we replace him with?
RTS may not be up to speed or gets injured,who is his back up?
The club has signed him for another year and are counting on him,so have spent their money elsewhere.
For Mini to leave now would be letting his team down.
If he is not good enough for regular first grade,then dont select him,simple.
He is still a valuable back up regardless.

I stand by my statements as even by your admission they are factually correct. Mini is ignorant of his shortcomings. He is also selfish and deluded to retain his crucial position believing he can compete with other fullbacks playing the game. And if his elileptic mantis impersonation at Dugan does not convince you of his twatness than nothing will. WTF was he thinking?? I'll tell you what he was thinking, he was thinking he'd just been beaten cold by a superior player, cracked the shits and tried desparately to get even. For a supposed senior player and team leader that equals twat in my book.

Chook.

Your analysis of his footballing ability is correct.

Your take on him as a person is ludicrous.

In fact, it just plain doesn't make sense. If, as you say, Mini is deluded, you mean that he genuinely believes he can compete with other fullbacks, and that in this sense, he is delusional, because he cannot.

But a delusional person is not conscious that they are wrong; Mini genuinely believes he is doing good for the club.

He cannot be delusional and selfish - if he were selfish, he would know full well he is crap on the field. I don't think he does. It is sad, and I agree with you that he needs a tap on the shoulder, badly. But that is the duty of Smith, or Politis, or whoever the fuuck makes footballing decisions at our club. Not Mini.

He does not deserve personal attacks, no matter how poorly he performs.

So he's deluded if he asks to be taken off the playing roster, which would preclude him anyway because I don't think a coach would want to play a mentally deficient player. But if he does ask to be taken off the roster then he is automatically sane because only a deluded man would ask to be taken off the roster. But then he would automatically be considered deluded because no player who hasn't retired would willing take himself off the player roster unless he was unable to play but then he would be taken off the register anyway. So he can't be delusional because he hasn't taken himself off the player roster but he is delusional because he doesn't realise that he shouldn't be there anymore.

I think I understand.

Sounds like a gen-u-ine Catch-22!

You really should have credited Heller with at least the inspiration for that post PIM.

I thought it was taken as read, I apologise if it wasn't.

Joseph Heller, hit it out of the park first at bat.

I'm calling the problem being Anthony Minichello's very old lady Ms. Biviano. As long as he's a prominent Eastern Suburbs league player, she's got a marketing ploy.

Who wants a 32 year old retiree who can't walk properly and who is pretty much unqualified for any other type of work?

Tell me one shop that stocks her shoes or introduce me to one woman who owns s pair. The Biv is a bloodsucking famewhore of The highest order.

He is paying all the bills.

How do you replace your whole life if you suddenly stop earning 400 a year?

She has her own shops, boutique's is the correct term I believe, selling her shoes for about a thousand bucks a pop.

Probably around the same as your weekly wage.

She does alright.

I'm sorry I missed this post.

As someone said, she gets by. Having a well known husband helps.

As the Redgum song "Just Another Moment On Your Own" goes, "Crowd declares a hero but heroes seldom last. Your private life is front page news until your time has passed."

(Again Youtube screws the pooch on a song I want)

certainly nothing to get excited about coming out of the NYC backline, as much as many people here can't stand Pearce we would be a lot worse off if he left.

[Spanner in the works]

Mortimer is shit. Always has-been, always will be.
