Is he the one who won the Tour de France, or something? Must have won it last week or something, cos he's on the wireless a lot these days

I guess even when you're living the dream and competing at the very highest level of the sport it's still nice to look down upon the little people. :pac:

No mention of Lamp.

Being able to post on twitter does not make one any less an idiot

Good to know that even the top level amateurs are just like us. We all think we are pros.

ironic coming from you halpin . Your top result was not getting dropped on lap 1 on bog o thering

Well said that man.

Also, it fascinates me the amount of people who read boards.ie, but never contribute. Quite a few in the club will mention things they read/saw here, but quietly lurk. It's a fantastic resource, and could be even better if more people contributed.

It's only defamation if its not true....

Quigs Snr

Quite a few A1 "Fred's" known and unknown lurking here on boards who can and have metaphorically speaking wiped their bottoms out on the road with some of the folks in that particular Twitter exchange.... tut tut chaps. Expected better.

Point of order......

He slagged off boards.ie rather than people who post on boards - my understanding is that you can't defame an organisation......


......the UCI may disagree on this point!

Best to ignore them and maybe they'll go back down the little non Fred infested hole they came from .

'Cos you're only a Fred if you write on boards.ie, reading it is non-Fred-ish. Them's the rules, it's like smoking without inhaling.

Actually, can we be any Fred of our own choosing? I'm wavering between being an Astaire and a Kruger today, casually psychotic but with style and a playful rhythm in my step.

Speaking of Freds, here's some Fred-quotes for the UCI......

"He who defends everything defends nothing”

“My people and I have come to an agreement which satisfied us both. They are to say what they please, and I am to do what I please.”

Frederick the Great

No, but there's a picture of Anto wearing hi-vis in 2006 on UCD's website

Nope Lenny, you should ask, are they aware who you are.

Nothing to see here. Some bloke using social media to slag off other people on another social media, because they are on another social media.

It's not even laughable.

Twitter is full of these elitist cycling types. I think we should start our own Twitter, for us lesser, commuting cyclists.

So it's true, they let him back into the country? Me thinks that his previous nomination to the club committee needs to be put forward again as penance. Remember when he agreed and promptly left the country?

I think this requires a race - looks like me representing hairy, crashy, saddle-bag toting Freds in A4 and Rob will be defending the honour of A3

As the weaker rider I believe I get to choose location and distance
