View Full Version : Time to sack the coach
just maybe
23 May 2006, 20:33
That's it. This is a disgrace. Craig can take us no further. We should have beaten Richmond by 468 points given their form, to lose to them is possibly the greatest shame in the history of the AFL.
It is clear Craig is not good enough.
Leigh Matthews will probably be available at the end of the year, so will Alistair Clarkson, a proven coach with the Bulldogs dealing with crud at Hawthorn.
The time has come to take our cherry ripe squad to the premiership, no more embarrassing defeats like this.
I begin the petition here. Let's show those Carlton fans what a real sack the coach petition is like.

I agree you should sack him. Or at the very least send him to the Power. We will give you a premiership coach in return.

I take that as another name to the petition. Thanking you. We already have 48 to the 6th power more signatures than that rubbish Carlton petition. Sack Denis Pagan? They'll get him resigned for 16 years at that rate. We're even getting petition signatures from Uzbekistan. Turns out ol' Karimov was a bit of a closet Ayresy fan. Something about the whole 'dictatorial style' appealed to him.

yesterday a few of us let our guards down to wish the little fella a speedy recovery....(notice that thread didn't get mentioned...:rolleyes: ).........and today's comment in the Advertiser about this thread was a quick jab to the head just to remind us that he's not done with yet - and we should box on until the bell goes....:p
I must admit I do take some pleasure from the thought that I may in some way (along with the rest of us here) contribute on a daily basis to his eternal torment....;) .
Common Rooch - show us what you're made of...next week mention the fact we at least all blew you a get well kiss...:p
ps - did anyone notice that he used the word "serendipity" as the title for the piece ??....wasn't that the word someone asked him to include so that we know he is watching??

But unfortunately since most of his readers won't see the actual "Sack the Coach" thread, any good humour is lost in the morasse of deliberate misrepresentation in pursuit of cheap controversy.

Yes, a hearty welcome to readers of the Tiser.
Just a few pointers if you're new to the web or worse, are relying on Rooch's say-so when it comes to forums:
;) - means it's light-hearted or perhaps in jest. Like this thread calling for Craigy's head.
:D - means someone's having a bit of a laugh. Like this thread calling for Craigy's head.
:p - means someone's poking a bit of fun. Like this thread calling for Craigy's head.
Happy to clarify it for you.

Yes, that was me in this thread here (http://www.bigfooty.com/forum/showthread.php?t=244510).
I asked for the word 'serendipitous' to appear, but I'll take it.

Old Rooch still has a bit of go in him & i take me hat off to his endeavor & i suppose his sense of mischief.
You're right in his misrepresentation of the subject but he knows how to use words to his advantage & what he said in regards to this thread the little p###k was correct. :D

Let me just say that Rucci went for this one hook line and sinker :D
This was just maybe's intention all along (I won't post the PM) but Rucci flew right into the trap.
Great work just maybe :D :thumbsu:
Isn't that what low life journos have been doing for ages though i.e. taking quotes out of context.
I guess now the posters of BF know how some of the coaches feel sometimes.

Can I ask how this 'trap' benefits the AFC or Crows supporters?Does it matter? Should at least make for some interesting radio on Saturday if some Bigfooty people can get a word in :)
Sure, for people who don't see the actual thread it makes some Crows supporters look bad, shrug, so what. If it's true (not that I don't trust Stiffy, just the pedant in me) it's a beautiful piece of work, worthy of a Media Watch segment.
Although, as Noddy has pointed out, the wording of the Advertiser article is just careful enough to leave Rucci with the "of course I recognised the joke, I never said I took it seriously" excuse.

Exactly.
Rucci is doing us a favour & is currently the #1 publicity person for Crows BF Board (helps him too, as it bring more people to this board & gives him more ideas).
Once they come & read what all the fuss is about, they should realise that Rooch isn't quite telling the full story...

''Hi KG , I am a Perth Crows supporter and I want to ask Rucci a question ,I dont get to read the Advertiser but i get most of my information from the innernet, all I read about on fan sites is how bad the Advertiser is going .

I posted the thread as a joke, but I also was curious to see whether Rucci would sink low enough to take an obviously spoof thread and talk about it in the Advertiser, since he is taking more and more from here. I wanted to see how far he'd gone with his patronage of this board.
So I PMed Stiffy to let him know my thoughts.
And we have our result: he really was low enough to do it.

Because the initial post was so unbelievable (468 points? Clarkson? Beating the Denis Pagan petition?) that any credible journalist should have seen through it - pretty much every poster did. It was quite clearly designed as jest.
By representing it as a thread of Craig abuse in the newspaper, Craig misrepresented what had occurred in the thread, quite grossly in fact.
