hears a couple of lines I made up


"Telling someone their front door needs painting is fine, but telling the whole world that their house is a 'cess pit' is disrespectful - it means you won't be ever invited round for a BBQ"



"The freedom of the internet has also given idiots an audience, before they had to shout on street corners to get anyone to listen"





Those two lines especially the last one, are top class.





thank goodness for the internet, eh Boldie? Cheesy

I thought I'd leave that door wide open for someone Smiley

Lets clear things up to avoid any silly specualtion:

1. I made the decision the go down to 5 nights over the weekend, for the precise reasons I have explained in detail, and only these reasons.

2. I sat down personally with Paul Jackson and we came to an agreement for him to leave DTD. Details will remain private, I have the upmost respect for Paul and that will remain so.

3. DTD is a members only club, not a public place, 99% of our 8,000 members are great but the 1% of bad apples need to go back to Gala.


heres a couple of lines I made up


"Telling someone their front door needs painting is fine, but telling the whole world that their house is a 'cess pit' is disrespectful - it means you won't be ever invited round for a BBQ"

"When someone runs an orgsanisation and doesn't get paid any wages, he is a 'volunteer'. You can't make a volunteer come to work unless he enjoys it"

"The freedom of the internet has also given idiots an audience, before they had to shout on street corners to get anyone to listen"


Cheers Rob



well said.

Might just be the wording but it sounds like he's saying Paul left because DTD is shit...(I paraphrase obviously)...it's not a nice piece of writing.

Er....highly unlikely, but its got nothing to do with lot us anyway.

well said.




I've never played against or even met this Mick McCool fella but he doesn't seem 100% all there. Surely if he's a supporter of the club as he says he is he would speak to the management directly rather than bad mouth the place on his blog. Attention seeking issues imo

I don't think Mick is actually bad mouthing DTD. As far as criticism goes it may be harsh, but it is constructive in the main and most of the things he highlights are issues that Rob openly stated himself as things that need improving.

Rob has always said that he won't have moaners and whingers as members of his club, but there has to be a disctinction between criticism (for constructive reasons) and deliberately stirring things up for no good reason. While the tone may seem argumentative, that is just Mick's manner and I don't think he deserves to be slated for stating his opinions on this matter.

I tend to agree with this.  I went to read it after seeing the post on here and was expecting much worse.

I was expecting some paragraph breaks.
