Because that's what is !

Putting forward an argument like you are pushing when it's obvious to a one eyed chimp that the argument is a beaten docket,can be called nothing else.

"The sacking of the MU manager after a short period equates to the 40 other sackings around the league"

It has no greater significance,isn't that what you said?

And you are still trying to dig yourself out of the hole.

That argument is a beaten docket,buddy.

No point digging deeper.

Abusive, insulting and now getting dangerously worked up about it then.

Moyes sacking is of no more significance than any other Premiership or even Football League manager, seeing as in any given year well over a third of them do leave their clubs either by sacking or resigning. You have not made one single argument to the contrary on this, other than getting further and further enraged by the suggestion that its no different; and then you resorted to childish insults.

If you actually have a coherent argument that you can make without screaming, come back to me.

Nope,just putting forward a common sense rebuttal to your post.

Laddie, get real, you got it wrong, we all do .

The mistake is we try to justify the unjustifiable .

:Dthats about it!

So I can take that as "no, I can't make a coherent counter argument and instead resort to childish insults when people disagree with me" then? Good.

You can take it a anyway you like, but my point still stands.

And no amount of chaff and bluster can avoid that.

Your argument is not sustained,my friend, facts are against you.

Something you keep stating as fact yet won't even try to justify. Please do.

Heh heh I just love these circular arguments,round and round.:D

Listen go back over my posts,buddy, and take your time.

I was reclining in the cot this morning listening to BBC4 Justin Webb and Sarah Montague,playing with my PJ string when an item regarding Led Zeppelin cropped up.

Apparently a lot of old tapes,unpublished stuff, live stuff and different 'takes' on songs were about to be released.

Now I wouldn't know a LZ song if I pissed on one,but I was intrigued as to why this merited a slot on the Today Show.

I understood that although it had no interest to me whatsoever, that, hey, a lot of other people might be interested.

There is an eclectic audience out there.

Great interview with Jimmy Paige and Plant and I was informed and enlightened by the slot.

Plant said of the chances of a live reunion "zero"

So point being what is no news for some is big news for others.

Get out of you straight jacket,my friend and embrace the big picture.

That's what I do:D

I've read the lot of them, unfortunately.

Your argument has been that it was earth-shattering news that required a national broadcaster to put a push alert on their general news service "because". You haven't actually explained why. Are you going to?

A lengthy ramble on Led Zeppelin doesn't explain why either; particularly as it shows you missing the point entirely. Do you know what a push alert on a news app actually is?

Incorrect,my friend,shows you haven't read my posts and are bunged up in a vain attempt to dig yourself out of a hole which you dug for yourself.

Erm. No.

Blackhole time I think; if you aren't going to even try to provide a coherent argument you're really not worth the effort; and I'm not sure its worth the childish insults you're throwing either.

Laddie, you would gain a lot more credibility if you just admitted that your argument sucks.

Fooling nobody here,my friend, fooling nobody,running out of road buddy.

Referring to everybody as pal, buddy, friend, my friend and laddie is agitating me slightly.

That is all.

Yes, I think we got that. I asked you about "ending" them, which had a rather chilling tone to it, as I said.

Seems this amounts to just "well, I don't much like them, but I'm not quite prepared to admit to having hinted at banning trade union activity when challenged to clarify".

What I meant was that the Taoiseach should instruct the minister not to attend.

This would take the oxygen from the "fire".

Ah!

Right, that's an entirely feasible proposition. Normally I'd say that's going a bit far, but it does seem to have got rather out of hand this year. There was some shooting self in foot involved in the INTO event, but the ASTI event seems to have entirely jumped the shark.

There might be something to be said for Quinn "pulling a Shatter" and just sending a junior minister (sorry, too lazy to google who that is) next year, or to only make himself available for a "side meeting" at the same event where there's not the same scope for bullring and pantomime antics.

RTE shouldnt be giving this gobsh1te airtime, it just encourages similar bad behaviour from other teachers..

Has this lad been at the Sherry? :eek:

SEPT 23 1989 · 24-04-2014 09:29AM

whey cant this go out live rather than pre recorded?:D

JM Skipton · 24-04-2014 09:30AM

Pre record with John Waters....what's the point?

SEPT 23 1989 · 24-04-2014 09:34AM

it must be hard for him to get around with that cross nailed to his back

JM Skipton · 24-04-2014 09:41AM

RTE really have been frightened beyond belief following "Pantigate", I cannot see them carrying out a tough live interview for the foreseeable future

SEPT 23 1989 · 24-04-2014 09:44AM

this is schoolyard stuff:rolleyes:

Crikeys but he likes the sound of his own voice.
Maybe they just didn't like him? He seems to be throwing his toys out of the pram.
