Dave The Man Bashing-Stop It

[Magpie Since 1986]

At the moment you are a wrap for Wood but no doubt if he doesn't play well next week you will come up with a thread saying how he is no better than Richards or something ridiculous.

Nothing Worse than Richards but If he does have a Bad Game I will say he had a Bad Game

Look it is fine to say he had a bad game. I agree Clarke had a bad game. We all comment on how we think the players went and that is what this forum is for.

But you go further than that. You go over the top and make ridiculous exaggerations. For example, you said Clarke seems to have gone backwards. Backwards on the basis of one game? Dropped for one game? Is that really a reasonable assessment of a player you were saying was a gun before he played the Freo game?

I dunno that comment just got to me, given that in our last game, in the prelim final v Geelong it was Clarke who was basically our best player and played a phenomenal game. It would be nice if your memory extended a bit further than a goldfish.

DTM works on a quantity not quality basis and the law of averages means that eventually he finds a piece of pure gold for us all to share. This is often ebough to make Dave a valued member of the Magpie online community.

DTM is as free to post on Nick's as much as his fellow posters are free not to read his posts. We all have choices. I choose to read Dave's posts and frankly I enjoy his candid, off the cuff view of Black & White life.

Post on Dave.

great post shane, and I am with you 100% on it. Those who don't want to read it can choose not to. Hell I have half the board on ignore, but still enjoy reading Daves posts, he's a gem.

Keep trying Dave, we can all only do our best!

Remember when DTM was banned for a few weeks late last year?

The forum was dead quiet.

bit like a relationship really. can't live with it but absence makes the heart grow fonder. go figure.

There is absolutely no excuse for getting the spelling of a players name wrong. NO EXCUSE AT ALL!

What makes it even worse is when the player plays for the team you support.

Clearly not the end of the world if there is a typo, but how many people, can legitimately spell 'Prestigiacomo' 100 times out of 100?

When people called Fraser 'Frasier' for the first six years of his career though, it got annoying. (Some would say Frasier Crane might have done better against Peter Bell yesterday)

DTM = Overkill, but hey that is DTM. Nothing wrong with that we all have the choice to read or not read. Typos and spelling mistakes happen to the best of us. DTM post away it's good for when I am bored at work.

Josh is certainly going the same way as Kelsey Grammer follically speaking. Maybe that was a little prophetic.

I don't see why Dave should have to put up with the amount he cops - and what I hate the most is those that have a go at him for his spelling/grammar.

However, it does provide a great opportunity for irony:

DTM, you able to edit your initial post after other posters have indicated there appears to be something wrong with it.

There is absolutely no excuse for getting the spelling of a players name wrong. NO EXCUSE AT ALL!

See how unpleasant it is? And yet, because he struggles a little more than most with spelling and grammar, Dave cops it for almost every single mistake he makes. It's not fair, and I don't see why he should have to put up with it.

As, I think Dave86 pointed out, it really isn't that hard to understand him. Others criticize him for changing his mind... come on, which one of us has never changed their opinions with the benefit of hindsight?

Nothing too wrong with The Man. Regardless of his spelling, you can pretty much make out the point he is trying to get through to all of us. Puts a lot of useful threads and links for all to read.

Probably just needs to take a couple deep breaths before each thread and as a result, may not completely flood the board, after a loss.

Also needs to desperately find a girlfriend so he doesn't spend all his time on the internet and we dont have to hear about every personal detail of his. But that's for another thread.

In short though, he is fine by me.

Kudos David... beautifully said...

More importantly, see how I went back and edited out the mistake.

So easy, isn't it?

^ Is it? I cant see where you've altered anything.... It reads like it always did....

Ah, now I see why you don't have any problems reading DTM's posts.

[cobood]

^see... easy isnt it?

Everyone knows Davage is Da Man.

DTM is just a poor copy of what is a fine Taswegian....
