We've had enough McGuire!

Gross generalisations. I obviously mix in different circles from you.

You must just mix in 'blokey' circles, not 'blokey bogan' circles. Not all 'blokes' are stupid, I'm a bloke but not a bogan, ie; dumb, stupid, simple and blindly patriotic. I'm just a bloke (with a brain!), as you obviously are, but you seem to be taking Kilroys assertions personally. That's silly.......unless......... Surely not????

[kilroy]

No need to beat up on Annie (especially in a thread chastising a Collingwood man who's insensitive towards women ... the irony!

Why use such language and then try and put it on me?

FFS I am not Matt.

There are good blokes but then there are triple the number of @@@@ blokes.

I believe if Eddie were given a lifetime ban, which is what I think is appropriate, everyone, yes everyone, would be thrilled.

1. Those that hate or dislike Eddie would obviously be pleased.
2. All his sycophants would be overjoyed having finally being freed from sucking up to this boorish bully.
3. The apologists really don't think for themselves anyway, and will be convinced that it's all for the best because everyone else says so, and will just move on.

[stevoswan]

The irony of people comparing Kilroy,(who has a right to express his fairly accurate opinions without people slagging him), with Matt80 is not lost on me either........you do understand 'bullying' don't you? Yet you don't seem to understand where Kilroys coming from. Back off, this is a public forum where the rights of people to be respected mirror the rights of all.

Problem with his sycophants is then they would be lost and have no real skill to fall back on. They are all there because of Eddie, so i doubt they would be happy if Eddie was banned for life.

You read about someone like Sam Newman who was basically a dead-end loser with no skills except kicking a footy and was basically broke sleeping on mates couches with no hope in sight. Then McGuire offered him a chance on a vaudaville style show and he took it and all thes eyears later is Mr Millionare. Thanks to McGuire.

The same goes with his foxfooty team, 3/4 of those boozos would be struggling atm if it wernt for McGuire.

Let's not worry about the sycophants. There's always someone around to suck up to.

And as for Sam Newman is concerned, we'd be better off if Eddie left him sleeping on his mate's couch. I can't see making millionaires of these characters, who have lambasted just about every minority group, is something that should be considered praiseworthy.

McGuire and Newman have a lot in common. They've vilified Indigenous Australians, women and homosexuals. They are millionaires. Two honourable men indeed.

Poor Eddie is "emotionally flattened" and won't be calling footy this week.

Many many many years ago I found Newman funny. But then I guess i grew up, matured and his humour to me became juvenile, very outdated and out right offensive.

That bitch and moan he had about Adam last year made me want to go sock Newman. I am glad his ilk are old and near the end, his way of thinking is so tiring and all levels of what a @@@@ bloke would think like.

awww

How about he go on leave..indefinitely!

...That bitch and moan he had about...

Probably should be careful with word use given recent events

I think it's only 'praiseworthy' to the sycophants who benefit from it, no-one else......which is the point I think Kilroy is making. FFS, he hates and disapproves of Eddie as much as the rest of us, I can't understand why everyone thinks he's defending or making excuses for McGuire, he's not, and musing he's Matt80.....what the? He's just pointing out how Eddie survives all the time despite being a public douchebag again and again. They're valid points.

[stevoswan]

Eddie McGuire and Caroline Wilson: Can Eddie still think he's funny?

I always enjoy JB's perspective

Just read that....it's great. The photo of McGuire says it all about his personality, and his new name is........"deep crevice arse-face"! Classical!

Seriously pathetic, a real man would face the music and cops his whack.

What a weasel

[goods78]

I've just spoken to Matt80 and can confirm that Kilroy is not Matt80.

Matt80 has enjoyed Kilroy's punching style and hopes that the diversity of opinion that Kilroy brings is respected by all RWO members.

Matt80 still follows Red and White and particularly enjoys the posts of Ludwig, Mug Punter, Liz and Ugg.

He and his young boy have signed on as Swans Platinum members this year and he wants to be included back in the Swans community.

Is it time to have him back? He is not a malicious person, but does get carried away. I think he has learnt a lot from his early experiences on Red and White and would be a better poster for it.

Red and White seem to be an inclusive community. Is it time to let back in a guy who loves the Swans?

I don't think you were referring to my post, but just to be clear, I haven't made any personal comments about kilroy or any reference to Matt80. My comment was that many people make a point of balancing the bad that Eddie has done by pointing out that he's helped this person or that person, or has given time and money to this charity or that charity. It's a very convenient little ploy of influence buying by those who can afford to do it. And if you criticise it, you look petty.

The recent book about the Koch brothers, Dark Money by Jane Mayer, highlights this particular activity. The Kochs are the biggest contributors to the Arts and numerous charities and have made important connections with other wealthy like-minded individuals. Then they group together to form a power block to buy influence and get laws and regulations put in place that help their business interests.

There are so many people, even including Caroline Wilson, who praise Eddie for the good things he's done or can't say enough about what a wonderful person he is. I am challenging that point of view. I think he a self-serving egomaniac who understands very well how to play the game. Every so often the mask falls off and you get to see the real Eddie inside.
