The Rumour Mill #2: Big Night Outs

Re: The Rumour Mill #2: Big Night Outs

Rumours like this abound.

Everyone's cousins aunts uncles brothers son or daughter has been out and supposedly seen a player acting disgracefully.

I just wonder what prurient satisfaction they got out of stalking a "star" and why they were so obsessed with this other person's behaviour, did they think because it was a Sunday morning that they were in a church or do they just hang out in clubs to watch people more importan than themselves?

Maybe they should get a life and then hopefully they'de be too busy to gain any sense of achievement from watching and reporting breathlessly on others.

That's a fairly harsh assessment of a guy whose job it is to work in the bar in question and actually put up with the behaviour all night. Hang out in bars to watch people more important than themselves? Yeah, I am sure he is working for free in the hope that an AFL footballer will come in and buy a beer off him. That is close to the stupidest thing I have read on this forum.

Stalking? Obsessed with their behaviour? (actually from all reports they were doing their best to ignore him as he was pissing him off). Hardly breathlessly reporting on others when you tell a best mate, you wouldn't mention it to your best mate if you were there? People tell others when they see a player down the shops, nevermind when they are shitfaced in a bar and pashing everything in a hundred metre radius. In fact they did him a VERY big service in NOT taking photographs. By all accounts he would have had no idea by the end anyway and they could have made a few dollars I am sure.

So at the end of the day for all your posturing this post brought nothing constructive to the table at all. If you are going to citicise someone elses post, which I encourage, make sure you have read it properly first and have all your facts straight. Otherwise you just look ridiculous.

By the way, everyones cousins, aunts, uncles etc probably do have a tale to tell. Why? Well these guys are human of course and there are hundreds in the system. I have drank with numerous current AFL players and have no issues with them doing so, I was just highlighting my personal suprise that someone would get THAT loose during the season given their history and when they are under the pump.

Re: The Rumour Mill #2: Big Night Outs

a mate of mine who, through his work, knows seemingly everyone who is behind the bar in every Melbourne pub. Makes for a big headache in the morning let me tell you (and thus the reason I didn't get to the social club before the game).

Oh, before you ask, I am not going to name the player for legal reasons etc. But you can probably guess anyways.

Have you actually read your own posts? Have a good hard look at yourself and your breathless little teasing effort which in spite of all you said to the contary just turned out to be a give up.

I have read my posts and I actually wrote them so I am aware of the subject matter. The harsh assessment by you that I referred to was for the bloke who works in the bar, the one I don't know , who you suggest could be:

1, A stalker who is obsessed with anothers behaviour
2, Misguided enough to think that as it was Sunday that they were in a church
3, Hanging out to watch people more important than themselves
4, Should get a life
5, If they got a life that maybe they would "be too busy to gain any sense of achievement from watching and reporting breatlessly to others.

The part that you kinda missed, that I kindly pointed out, was that the guy works in the bar. Thus making it a really ridiculous, misguided piece of prose.

I don't know him very well personally, have only met the bloke twice, but he is the best mate of one of my best mates (who looks after the pubs and lives in Melbourne). Do you follow? You can pull the foot out of your mouth now.

The last post was not an exercise in teasing, just an effort to make someone realise that if they can't be bothered reading a post properly then they shouldn't cast judgement on others in such a pompous, demeaning manner.

Furthermore what you are suggesting is that if you were in that bar and witnessed the events that you wouldn't even bat an eyelid. If that is the case well that is fine, but for everyone else back in the real world that sort of a thing is slightly out of the ordinary and worth at least a casual mention.

And I always take a long, hard look at myself. Why? I don't pretend to know everything, or to be perfect and I think self-assessment is critical to self-improvement. Shouldn't put such a negative spin on it.

This post has obviously grown legs due to the cryptic clues. I preferred Sockeye's way using an anagram, that way it would have been solved earlier.
All you needed to say was " A love f ling that has been known to kick goals on and off the field."

Doesn't mind a serve of veal parmigiana either.

Sheesh, for those of you who saw the footy show tonight apparently a photo has surfaced from another alleged session to 7 in th morning by this player. So much for last years alcohol ban.

And Carlton said he wasn't out past curfew!

How late do you have to be, a month?

Would that mean he's pregnant?

Re: The Rumour Mill #2: Big Night Outs

There is a rumour going around that NRL player Matthew Johns was involved in some unsavoury behaviour in NZ around 7 years ago.
Anyone else heard this?

Re: The Rumour Mill #2: Big Night Outs

1. Who was the player shown in TFS last night?

2. Bob have who been living in another planet. The Johns story has been around for a week, with the latest installment being that the woman bragged about the "sex romp" with friends at work after it happened before crying foul.
