see I don't really get this attitude. I have no problem with you not rating him as a keeper, but everything I've heard about him off the field has been good. why have a go at him personally?

I didnt see it as a personal attack... i seen it as he's a shit **** keeper... which is a pretty fair statement

Comment was based on him being the Mark Jones of Goalkeepers. And signing for the Gypos.

Waste of time even having a salary cap with this sort of shit going on.

But you do realise the salary cap is probably needed more by the better sides??

By having a salary cap it forces clubs like us and the Gypos to spend money on useless players.

Heaven forbid they drop the Salary cap the Jets and Gypos might put money into Yoof programmes and actually get better players.

The salary cap is a good thing for the elite as it stops the smaller clubs actually trying something outside the box to get competitive

Smurfs City Victree WSW already have their advantage with the 3 marquees that are out of the grasp of the rest of the club's.

They ain't going to want to change a system that hands them ascendancy

Nah, he just wanted to tell everyone that he's a proper journo because he's been to Highbury and Old Trafford.

oh and that he knows Brad Bannister.

Good for him.

Don't click on the link and give him the hit.

What's Bob Dillon playing at with this line: "...worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as Pele, Maradona, Thierry Henry and Dennis Bergkamp"?

DFS havent been interested in us since we turned down the offer to join their podcast network

Why did you turn them down, Furns?

Was it because of George Donikian, and how's he's a complete flog who interrupts every "interviewee" just to "ask" them a monologue that has no question?

Was it because of Adrian Houghton's struggles with grammar and overuse of cliches?

Or was it because of Mark van Aken's inability to complete a sentence without inserting an anecdote?

They're all forgivable sins (except for Donikian); maybe you should give them a go.

i actually thought that dillon article was pretty fair tbh

Imagine if they were supporting a team of no-hopers, such as, for example, the Newcastle Jets.

The Novocastrian faithful have endured seven consecutive seasons as finals spectators, and another wooden spoon campaign that cost coach Mark Jones his job.

All of which gives them licence to whinge and vent to their heart’s content.

no issue with any single part of it

No I think Dillon just having fun trolling the same 6-8 he been trolling with his and Lowe's get off Mark Jones back stance as it ain't his fault the Jets are shite

Same people carrying on in every ****ing article the Herald has written the last two months

What was even funnier was them following him to Twitter and he called them dickheads and they had a cry about it

[Couscous]

In other news, the Melbourne Victory fans' website (not that I'm a Victory fan) has been struck by dwindling readership and a malware infection. The owner suggests he'll shut the site down shortly and not bother reopening it.

Well done, Furns, on outlasting an A-League giant.

Wrong.

He's losing the battle to look like a legit journo.

Mr Dill may have found himself a new fav song (complete with Newcastle Newts lovefest):

George Stigler won a Nobel Prize in economics for his research on capture theory which pretty much embraces everything MFKS has said in his post.
The big players establish themselves in a market and then capture the regulator to enforce restrictive policies rather than free market ones to stop smaller / more efficient firms from gaining market power.

nothing to do with the member for retard's comment.

A salary cap and its corrupt exemptions are a farce anyway but scrapping it ensures that well have a Scottish premiership.
