Re: There is no doubt Cuz is gone and its the right decision

There's a feeling of deja vu regarding Cuz, this was happening last year when his form was very good and the speculation about another contract was all the headlines. I'd be happy for him to run around again next year.

But if it is the end for Cuz this year I hope that the club makes some position available for him in either a coaching or mentoring role for the young blokes next year to keep him in football.
 
Have been a big supporter of Cousins and am very glad he came to the club. However I'm indifferent as to whether he goes around again next year. There are positives and negatives to both scenarios, so will be happy with whatever decision the club comes to.

Interestingly Ben's kick to handball ratio moved into the positive this week but his disposal efficiency dropped and his clanger count rose. (16-10, 65%, 4)

LOL. A noted Jackson fan pointing out Benny's DE and clangers. Good grief.

Keep on Runnin' Benny.

"LOL" at you never missing a chance to have a dig at me. Funny seeing you so often reading through my recent posts in my profile so often to find things to take pot shots about. :rubhead

Ben and Dan had fairly similar DE and clangers. I don't think anyone has been praising Jacko for his elite skills. I raised Ben's stats in regard to the context of the actual discussion about Ben's kick to handball ratio because the increase in DE and clangers made me wonder if he's lost something with his kicking and is actually more accurate by hand.

Creative by hand that should be. A genius in that regard compared to the rest of our side.

How do I turn on this feature? I want to see who my disciples are.

What feature are we talking about rosy?

I'm not sure I know actually. Leysy made the Big Brother quip so might be better for him to explain to all of us what he's on about.

How you know when someone has been through your posts via your profile.

I think Tooheys was asking how do you go through only one posters posting history. Your question is the next step after that, ie how would Rosy know that Scoop is going through all of Rosy's posts.

**Cue Rosy post about the cavalry chiming in to support Scoop.

Wow, the victim card, again. No need for it. I haven't been on PRE for abot five days and checked about 8-10 profiles, don't flatter yourslef. And you watching every move I make after five days away is somewhat disturbing.

And taking potshots at you? Geez, responding is pot shots? I haven't quoted you for 85 posts and over that time have quoted 18 posters.

I just found it strange that being the Jackson fan that you are (nothing wrong with that) that you would over look his skill mistakes week after week but find then need to point out Benny's mistakes. That was it. The rest I really don't want to get into.
 
Retire Benny Retire? ;D

Cousins is outside our best 5 players and will be further down the list again next season as younger players fill the breach.

He should take a leaf out of Simon Goodwin's book and hang up the boots whilst still performing but clearly in decline.

There has been much focus on the back end of his season as evidence of his ability but as an overall year his output has been slightly above passible.
Next season would be one year too long for Ben. In my opinion of course.

How do I watch every move you make? Seems you're the one flattering yourself actually. I just know there are plenty of occasions that you've been reading my profile then quoted one of my posts in a negative manner. I didn't even notice you'd been away, in fact I've been away for a couple of weeks myself. All we can see is you are reading someone's profile. You've posted the info yourself that you check the profiles to read certain people's posts, so as usual Leysy's cameo sniping was way off the mark when he referred to Big brother watching.

How do I overlook Dan's skill mistakes week after week? Show me a similar thread about Dan discussing him the way Ben was on this thread and I'll check it out. I wasn't pointing out Ben's mistakes for the sake of it so how about sticking to the actual discussion and keeping it in context. Do you think there's any correlation between Ben's kick ratio increasing and his efficiency and clanger rating increasing too. I doubt it myself but haven't seen the game to know the circumstances. Do you think 65% DE and 4 clangers is good stat for someone being lauded for their elite skills? Maybe it was windy, maybe he had an off day, maybe it was everybody elses' fault. I wouldn't have a clue. My comment was only as a direct response to Harry and ToO's comments about Ben's handball and kicking ratio, nothing to do with Jacko. :blah

You can find every posters posting history in their profile.

You can also see what posters are looking at through the Who's Online page, on the main forum page. It gives a description of what every poster active in the last 15 minutes is doing on the site (except for the sneaky stuff the mods do).

So Big Brother is indeed watching you...thousands of them, but only if they want to!

Thanks Skybeau. Rosy and Scoop aside, who could be bothered checking what other posters are doing. And what happens if you open up multiple screens all looking at something different, which one is recorded as the thread you are on at any given moment in the Who's Online section.
