Oh yes I forgot, for most of us here, things don't go beyond mindless posts and fake net parties.

Well joshem, it's good to see you're not letting all of this BigFooty stuff get to you. I'm glad of that too. Otherwise, someone might have to put you back in your box with a big GET OVER IT!!!! Luckily, we don't need to do that.

One thing I've been wondering though. Since Danni has had her crack down, err, I mean has had a crack down on nonsense posts, you seem to have been a little bit subdued. A little bit quiet is what I mean. What I'm saying is, that you haven't had much to say, over the last few days. In other words, since nonsense posts have been on the outer, you contribution ratio has spilled down the spout. (I'm sorry if I haven't made myself clear here - I'm having one of those days).

However joshem, I'm glad to see that you not having a whinge here. No complaints from you joshem. ("What a good boy he is" can now be heard as a reverberating sound through the collective houses of BigFooty contributors - especially those on the "Brisbane Board").

It's good to know that you're 100% behind what people post on here. Because, you know what? I can't stand hypocrits! Just imagine, (it's easy if you try), that in one given week, if a certain person was to have filled up the entire BigFooty "Brisbane Board" with nonsense posts, much to the chagrin of other users. Yet then, in the very next week that same person was to have started complaining about other people's posts. What a hypocrit that person would be! I'm glad, for your sake and ours, joshem, that you DON'T fall into this category.
 
I'd have to agree with Joshem on this one.
You spend so much time and energy concentrating on the things that you DON'T have.... why not put a little thought into what you DO have. If it wasn't for the merger Olmy, where would your beloved Fitzroy be now??

Olmy likes to stir things up a bit, have his say. Why should he make apologies for that? I think it's kinda fun.

FunkyBlue, thanks for your input. Albeit misuided, I am still happy to put at rest any niggling worries that you have about my postings. I know how these niggling worries can be for some people. People like myself, come onto forums and blaggamouth all around the place, and some people just take things soooooo seriously . . . .

Anyway, where was I?

FunkyBlue (are you a Carlton supporter by any chance?), if you read what I say, you will find that I am extremely postive about the Brisbane Lions. In fact, people who know me, know of the things I have been involved in (such as the VLSG, running my own Lions based fanzine, etc. etc.).

True, I do think they could do 'some' things differently - but isn't that the same for everyone? I mean, look at what people said about the AGM (ie: those who had the good fortune of being able to attend).

I don't think my comments about the club are any different to anyone elses.

Apart from that, I have been a full member for the last 3 years. If people perceive me as being negative, then they should also see the dent done in my bank balance after paying for annual membership!

If people don't like what I say, it's not my problem! I'm not out to make comments just to be popular on BigFooty!

Is that fair enough with people on here?

Hey does the statement, "Go and have a cry to mummy" have an association with any of this?

FunkyBlue (are you a Carlton supporter by any chance?),

No Olmy, I am not a Carlton supporter, I was a member of the "Bears for 2 years, waived my membership the year of the merger (yes, I too was disheartened by it) and have since been a full member of the Lions, including this year)

if you read what I say, you will find that I am extremely postive about the Brisbane Lions.
Extremely positive?? Oh boy! I'd hate to see you in a negative frame of mind

In fact, people who know me, know of the things I have been involved in (such as the VLSG, running my own Lions based fanzine, etc. etc.).
I commend your committment to the VLSG, The Lions, Colburg-Fitzroy and all the other things you are associated with, three cheers for you Olmy.....seriously.

True, I do think they could do 'some' things differently - but isn't that the same for everyone? I mean, look at what people said about the AGM (ie: those who had the good fortune of being able to attend).
Some things?? oh puh-lease. Nothing would stop you from bleeting except time itself being reversed and the whole ugly merger being wiped from the history pages.


Apart from that, I have been a full member for the last 3 years. If people perceive me as being negative, then they should also see the dent done in my bank balance after paying for annual membership!
I don't think your bank balance has anything to do with how people should perceive you, after all, there are thousands of folks out there who have dug deep to pay for memberships.

If people don't like what I say, it's not my problem! I'm not out to make comments just to be popular on BigFooty!

Trying to be popular has nothing to do with it. I actually think you're quite an intelligent young man who does have alot to say, a little too much to say at times and a little too opinionated (at times). I sympathize with your loss of your team at AFL level, but as you keep reminding everybody, Fitzroy Football Club still exsists as a seperate entity, so all is not completely lost.

As for the moderator issue, I think Danni is an excellent choice. Her posts are always nonbias. She's someone who has come to terms with the merger and supports our team 110%. She looks towards the FUTURE of the club, not the "what could have been" and the "what ifs". She has her finger on the pulse of what happening at the Lions HQ and has always kept us informed, whether it be here on on the Lions forum. She's an excellent choice. I think the only reason you might object to Danni self appointed moderator roll, is that you didn't think of going to Bluey first and putting your name forward.

Speaking of Bluey and badgering him about changing the name of the "Brisbane Board", give the poor bloke a break! I can't understand the reasoning behind you being so adamant that the name be changed to the "Brisbane Lions Board". Ever heard "Would a rose, by any other name, smell as sweet?" Whether it's "Brisbane" "The Lions" or "The Brisbane Lions" they are still OUR team.

And the reason I added to this post the first time is because it would have taken me a week to reply to each and every topic that you've posted. I thought this pretty much summed it up. I apologize for not being clear and consiece about where I was coming from the first time around.
 
I think that about said it all....lol
Geeze, I did pretty good, that post was almost as long as one of Olmy's...
 
Funky Blue,

I will not be so eloquant as Olmy.

Geez, proud of yourself are ya? Dickhead. You look like a fool with what you've posted. Not only have you no idea about what Olmy's talking about, you can't understand his humour either!

Piss off. And lay off Olmy, his heart is in the right place.

Proud of myself? What on earth gave you that idea? All I was doing was expressing my opinion, which is obviously ok for some people to do, but not ok for others.

I'm not arguing that Olmy's heart isn't in the right place, I commend him for his continual support of the Lions at ALL levels. As for there being "humour" behind his posts, Olmy must have a very dry sense of humor which incorporates a slight bit of sarcasm. I must have missed the "humour" side of such posts as "Brisbane (insert obligatory nickname here) have a good win!!!" in which the Lions were called the Brisbane Monkeys. I'm sorry if I don't find this amusing. To me it appeared to be bitterness over the naming of this particular board, no matter how tongue in cheek it was.

As for my previous post not making any sense to you, I'll be sure to use words like "dickhead" and "piss off" in my future post, just so you can grasp the concept of what I'm saying.

FunkyBlue. I'll give you $100 if you can find any comment that I've made, and been serious about, where I've objected to Danni being the moderator.

You've got your wires crossed on that one. In fact, your imagining things!!!

I don't care who the moderator is, as long as they do a good job. If you're saying that Danni put in a request for the job, then that's fine. Albeit, there was supposed to be some "discussion" on the topic. But . . . it doesn't really bother me. This is only a website after all. You're assuming that I was after the job, aren't you? I never said I was.

As for Danni looking towards the future of our club - well . . . if you read what I say, so do I! Just because I have a different opinion on how things could be done, doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Even Danni herself has commented that my suggestions are those which are foresighted, rather than hindsighted. If you have an issue with that, take it up with Danni yourself.

I'm wondering just where you can point out where I've been on a tangent of "what if's" and "what could have been's".

The reason why you are sticking up for Danni, and having a go at me, is because you know Danni personally, or have at least met her, whereas neither of us have had the pleasure of meeting each other yet.

FunkyBlue, first you say I'm an intelligent person, but then you say that sometimes I have too much to say. Well, I'm afraid that both go hand in hand.

If someone has something worthwile to say, then they should say it! I don't (seriously) proclaim to be correct all of the time, and I'm willing to debate things, issues about our club (which is more than what some people on this board do). I'm grateful that there are people who respond to such topics - whether I agree with them or not.

As for being passionate about the board being renamed as "Brisbane Lions Board", well, why shouldn't I be? And to say, "get off Bluey's back", well, tell me, how hard can it be to change ONE word? ONE word. After all, sure, he's the moderator, but it's the contributors who make this site what it is. Therefore, if the contributors have a reasonable request, then it should be seriously considered - otherwise, contributions might start dropping off. Hardly something Bluey wants, is it? My request is not unreasonable, and others have also requested it (same goes for the Fitzroy Board).

LOL Olmy - I have no idea who FunkyBlue is! So the 2mins I saw you in the Albion Charles in 99 probably means that you and I have a better acquaintance then I do with FunkyBlue!

Unless of course I do know FunkyBlue. FunkyBlue do I know you???
 
That's it Danni. Not personally knowing one of the contributors to the "Brisbane Lions Board" is the type of short-coming that could see you sacked as Moderator. You'd better sort it out quick, or else . . .
 
I know Olmy - I better start maxing out the Visa Card and travelling all over the country meeting and greeting all the bigfooty contributors!

Would implicate pride, would it not? Yes it was as long as one Olmy's... but doesn't have one tenth of the content or wit.

1. You are entitled to post whatever you like, you are entitled to your opinion, as am I. My opinion was that (a) you do not understand what Olmy is on about, and (b) you do not understand the humour in his posts in this thread.

2. I have to say, I think if people like Olmy don't stand up for the Fitzroy side of things, who will? If people don't, who will remember why they are called the Lions and why the song and guernsey are the way they are, in 50 years time? I think that Fitzroy fans fear that our past is being used to ensure a Brisbane future. "Brisbane Lions" board is appropriate, to reflect that the team is the result of a merger. Give us something, please. And I thought the way Olmy argues his points is usually clever and rarely abusive.

3. Your previous post DID make sense to me, but I apologise unreservedly for the poor use of language. I guess when its late after a bad day at work, my grip on the English language loosens a little. Not that that's any excuse. I apologise. I think these topics are very important to Brisbane Lions FC and I do hope I manage to support them, so I would like to discuss these topics as rationally as possible.

Cheers,
Sbagman.

PS. I want a slab now, Olmy.
 
sbagman, that wins post of the year!!!!!! Hell, I'LL buy you a slab!!!!!!!
biggrin.gif
SO well-put.....and I used my 900th post to respond to it.
biggrin.gif
YAY!!!!!!!!

------------------
*the one and only lioness*
 
Cheers Lioness! But post of the year? I think that's a little overboard.

But thanks for the compliment anyway.

I'm sure Lions fans will find a way through this. Five years isn't really that long when you consider Fitzroy's history was over 100 years. It takes time.
 
Never doubt the lioness, if I say it's post of the year, then it is!!!!!!!
biggrin.gif
I agree, it is gonna take some time, I have followed the Brisbane Lions right from the start, but I still miss my Roys, quite a lot sometimes. And I agree 100%, the Fitzroy Football Club HAS to be remembered, we HAVE to show people what we once had. Fitzroy will never die anyway, never. Not as long as my heart beats anyway.

------------------
*the one and only lioness*
 
umm... so about this slab.... I am partial to Coopers (the one with the red lable... I can't remember, I think its original, I haven't been in Australia for that long....). Will you be giving it to me in Melbourne or Brisbane?
 
Melbourne I hope, I probably won't get to Brisbane this year as much as I hope to, I have a visa and plane ticket to help pay for (a VERY worthy cause
biggrin.gif
biggrin.gif
biggrin.gif
) so yeah, get down here and have a beer with us will ya.

You don't have to share the slab

hehehe
