    Re: Rendell given an AFL gig

    I would have thought Mifsud is the one you would go to to verify and being who Mifsud is they are saying now what he says isnt true?
    Why you would have a private conversation about someone that isnt verified to a journalist is beyond me.
    Shouldnt be saying anything to a journalist that isnt verified.

        He published unfounded claims in an online article. He deserves a public flogging at least

                BAD I still think you cannot take a comment in isolation. You need to appreciate the context of how it was said.

                The problem now is the context has been provided by how Mifsud said it happened and now we know Mifsud is a bit iffy.

                Context is everything.

                            Sorry who said that it mattered? It was a poorly worded comment, I'll even call it racist just to agree with you. Mifsud STILL let down his people and failed to do his job by not reporting the comment instantly.

                            Well both were false in reality but thats a whole other argument.

                                Did you watch the Rendell interview at all? Out of intrest.

                                    Tell you the truth, I am bored with the conversation as every one has a different opinion and we don't know the full story.

                                    All I am defending is racism and if there was any of that well I am appalled.

                                        So that would be a "no" to GD's question then?

The fact thsi it is a contrived and artificial gesture by the AFL is immaterial - percpetion is everything.

                                                    and the comedy show continues. Mifsud has apologised to Davey, saying he misunderstood him.

                                                    Davey says he trusts Mifsud (LOL)

                                                    Mifsud says he is continuing his work with the AFL (surely untenable by now)
