Gerard Healy, whats his problem ?

[jayfox]

I was replying more to mb's statement that journalists will only write positives about a team when it's winning.

I know. I thought you were implying that they should be writing those positive articles about us as we are about to start winning. Sorry if I was mistaken.

Do you realise how childish calling me Rosy08 makes you look?

Sheesh, it was a joke. What is it with everyone being the fun police around here today. If it upsets you and you would like me to stop altering your name Disco, then I will stop doing it immediately.

Not you as well disco....

"Cairo Tiger" is the username that Gerard referred to.

I think most would agree when it comes to that sort of stuff I'm pretty easy going RU.

cairo tiger seems to post mostly short sentences, which probably explains why Healy likes reading his posts.

Maybe Cairo Tiger is MB's username over on Big Footy?!

Not me,maybe likes my posting methods of short,precise & accurate.

Actually, it seems about right that Gerard gets his opinions on Richmond from on bloke listening to SEN thousands of miles away.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Whats up with Gerard Healy, he really doesnt like us IMO.
...

Apologies to Mr.Healy if any of this is incorrect as I'm going off fading memories.

Early in his media career he "broke an exclusive" on Sunday TV, declaring that a deal had been done between Richmond and Melbourne for the clubs to merge. Underpinning his story was the fact that "Melbourne Tigers" had been registered as a business name (can't remember whether this turned out to be something to do with the basketball club or not).

Needless to say he came out looking like an idiot, and RFC took a dim view of the episode. Whether he carries any baggage from those days, only he'd know.

Discoballs takes it all pretty well.
Still it's pretty damn funny some posters getting their nose out of joint re their user names being altered in jest.
I love the argy bargy. Some are just wayyyy to sensitive it seems. :-\

Perhaps they belong in the soft thread?

It seems as someone in the media criticises Richmond they are no good,got problems or dills.When your on the bottom & been as unsuccessful as us the compliments will not roll out.The positive reports will come when we start winning.

The same happens to members of this site, who love the club, but are sick to death of constant mediocrity.

We cop it from the media because we are a tragic club!

c'mon....hawks have started ok this year

 

[CarnTheTiges]

It really doesn't matter what sort of success the RFC have in the future. Some journos will never rate us, just like some of the posters on this site.

 

[Philster]

He's doing his arse on property at Moonah Links....a mate bought a block for $285K 3 mths ago and the guy across the street cant unload his for $180K....

I guess he's just an angry ol seadog whos looking for a team to rip into.....I dont rate him so it doesnt bother me.

 

[JR8]

Dont mind Gerard, certainly can put up with him more than I used to.

But, he's never ever had ANY time for the tiges.

Leysy reckons Jimmy Jess must have ironed him out back in his melbourne days.

Why does Leysy always talk in the third person?

Yeah its a bit like that guy "Jimmy" on Seinfeld!!! :hihi

BTW. Heally definitely has a bias against the Tiges. Have no doubt about that.

 

[Chiang Mai Tiger]

Last night he (Healy) actually referred to a Richmond web site that he likes to go into to read posts from a bloke called Chinese Tiger. Do we have a Chinese Tiger on here ?

Chiang Mai Tiger.....?

 

[nwonash]

to be honest, sitting 0-5 on the ladder and a culture of losing in the last 26 years. Why should you media respect Richmond ?

Wake up people, see the light, Richmond are a rubble. Do you really expect the media to write things like, what a team of champions ? our list is the worst of all teams.

Wallace has basically admitted we are not going to win a premiership until of windows period of around 2011. When the coach comes out and says that, what do you what the media to write ?

Heally is correct, Richmond is worst team in the competition.
