Exactly. Those who questioned his appointment have been proved right IMO. Reasons for not being in favour were all about his character not his technical ability. That press statement tells you those doubts were well founded.

I will say again, we simply do not know what has gone on. Pointless to speculate.

Well there won't be any further statement from the club as that is the way they do things.

And isn't that what forums are for ? To speculate in the absence of facts ?

That's human nature isn't it afterall ?

Never stopped any of us on here before!

True and True Fleabag, however, this one seems a bit of a dead rubber.

We are unlikely to find out the truth.

Longy has already written his biography

I agree with you 100%, I know sometimes what people say or speculate on, without knowing the full facts can be a bit of a turn off to others, and a little infuriating, but that’s what these boards are all about IMO. To me it’s like sitting around a table in the boozer with your mates and gobbing off about SL, RL and almost anything else we like. Sometimes getting and giving a bit of slag adds to the spice. All I can say to those who don’t like certain posts, or comments, then don’t go there, find something else!

One thing you need to realise, is this is a public forum. Anything you say, which may be considered libellous, the board can get into serious trouble for. It isn't just like gobbing off with your mates, as that is a private conversation. That's not to say we cannot speculate or offer our opinions, there is a fine line though.

What? My post or his book?

Unless Longy decides to add a few more pages to his book!

will it get dark tonight?

I take your point and agree, but my expression of gobbing off was not meant to indicate very foul language, libellous statements, or over-done aggression. No I meant a vigorous and honest exchange of views on SL, RL and other subject of interest to the writers. Having said that I see nothing wrong with the use of colourful language to make a point when necessary, especially if it’s used against me first, after all let’s not forget we are all adults. Let’s keep within the rules, but just stretch em a bit at times. lol
