Mega Thread The Fireman Kornes and Ringo Rucci jumbo thread

[PrideOf]

Let's presume for a moment that Rooch isn't a Port fanboi who is trying to help the club of his childhood through selective reporting.

That means he's missed ANOTHER big Port story, and he's a shit journalist.

Pick one Rooch - Port fanboi or shit journalist?

Well this is Rucci's chance to be a credible and unbiased reporter like he purports to be . Will he be it? Somehow I don't think so.

Of course not. The Advertiser (most likely Rucci) has already published and subsequently updated their article on the story. And despite the fact the alleged victim has already spoken about the incident in the media, the Advertiser neglects to make any mention of the specifics of the claim throughout the entire article, simply labelling it a "bar incident".

Contrast the Advertiser headline with other publications:

Advertiser - 'Port player allegedly involved in bar incident'

news.com.au (using the Advertiser's article) - 'Ugly allegations rock AFL club'

The West Australian - 'Port Adelaide star Sam Powell-Pepper in nightclub sex assault probe' (and the article goes on to quote the woman's interview)

Now which publication seems to be attempting to minimise the story?

Rooch can't report on this story untill Norton writes it for him.

J's post is absolutely disgusting. No one knows exactly what happened but that type of speculation is almost as bad as the initial act itself.

"But he confirmed Powell-Pepper had broken team rules and curfew, and said it was disappointing the young player had put himself in that position."

More concerned about the curfew being busted !!!!

Koch:

“I am not sure being a footballer means you have to be a monk. We are not running monasteries here,” WTF
“It is a very delicate situation, they are young men.
“Yes, they are by comparison paid very well, have a role in the community. Yes that’s acknowledged, but they have to be young blokes at times.
“That’s why you put conditions around it and set behavioural standards. For us the disappointing thing is Sam put himself in that position.”

Basically, boys will be boys. The biggest disappointment is that SPP put himself in a position where he could be accused of sexual assault.

Say wut???...That's the disappointing thing about this?

Ok, I've rubbed my eyes a few times and this still reads the same. I cannot believe how insensitive, archaic, out of touch, gauche, and plain stupid this melon head is.

Long may this buffoon reign over the Port Adelaide Power franchise.

Extremely poor by Koch. And all after the club said they wouldn't be commenting!

They were right the first time

Rucci clearly has been spoon fed by Daniel Norton with that article about SPP.

• Blaming his behaviour on "bad influences"
• Trying to divert attention away from what he did by trying to make it about breaking curfew
• Claiming a boys will be boys scenario (he's not the first and won't be the last)
• Trying to use Ryder and Trengrove as an example that Port players are unfairly targeted by the public.

As always there is a stark contrast between how Rucci reports about one team in comparison to the other.

I am sure that if the roles were reserved he'd be talking about "damning information that he has been told about the incident" and demanding that the AFL needs to lodge a formal investigation into it etc

 

[relapse]

For those who think Rucci is still Chief Football Writer. Today's Advertiser. Bunnings copy.

View attachment 481198

He has a different title, but they all do now.

I am yet to see any form of real proof that his role has really changed though.

It's not like someone else has taken over as Chief Football Writer.

 

[Shoota Welsh]

not sure if anyone else said... but is anyone else picking up on cornes passive aggressively trying to get a tag on rory laird. he plays it off as praise, 'he needs to be tagged' 'why is not one tagging him hes that good', but he is the only one consistently talking about the need to tag rory laird. no other star does he go on about needing to be tagged. does anyone else agree with this or maybe its just me, ive noticed it in several articles

They're purely talking about being out drunk at a bar there...not the accusations.

What do you interpret monk to mean?

Monks are most well known for their celibacy.

It's a clear shot.

Nope.
Referring to the fact that they shouldnt stay home and meditate all day and night I would say.
Monks also dont drink...

You're reading far too much into their response.

Not much of a dog whistle if most people understand it

Im reading whats on the page, not beyond.
If you think that a football club would be stupid enough to be associated with comments like that in context of what you're saying, then you're brain dead.

You've already lost when you assume that the one thing monks are known for is celibacy.

What is an Editor at large? Is this used elsewhere?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor-at-large

An editor-at-large is a journalist who contributes content to a publication. Sometimes such an editor is called a roving reporter or roving editor.

Unlike an editor who works on a publication from day to day and is hands-on, an editor-at-large contributes content also on a semi-regular basis and has less of a say in matters such as layout, pictures or the publication's direction.

Editors-at-large are more independent; they are allowed their own preferences in the content they have to generate, and they do not always have to pitch their ideas to the main editor. Though they are still subject to the direction and oversight of chief editors and executive editors, they frequently come up with ideas for other writers to research and write. "At large" means the editor has no specific assignments, but rather works on whatever interests them.

I think Koch is stupid enough to say the first words that come into his head.

You've already lost when you assume that "i'm not a monk" isn't a phrase predominantly used to refer to celibacy

Koch is a lot of things.
Stupid isnt one of them.

Never heard that phrase used like that...and neither has google from the looks either.

Although there is a phrase of russian origin which translates to not a monk and it means non-drinker.

Guess that doesnt suit your narrative though hey?
