Anthony Watmough-Credit where credit is due.

[rossop]

Just one highlight from an illustrious off field career:-

Miss Rixon told the court she feared for her safety and that she had been subjected to several violent episodes during her seven-year relationship with Watmough.
On one occasion, after a New Year's Eve party in 2004, the footballer arrived home and began pelting her with coins.
"There were indents in the unit walls from the coins and one of them hit my head," she said. "I had a bruise on my forehead."
Miss Rixon said she was also hit on the shoulder with a chair thrown by Watmough and had a sliding glass door slammed into her.
She told the court she was scared of Watmough and feared further violence despite the fact their relationship had ended.
"I've seen what he has done before to me. I don't want to be hurt the way I was hurt," she said.

But it's all sweet now because he's working at the soup kitchen? Really, I despair

When I first read this article in The Terror I thought, "This is a setup". If AW didnt want it in print what were the reporters doing there? Then there is the story of how his new dog (a Husky) has helped to turn his life around. A month or so ago he stated he wanted a Pekinese just for the impact of a big footballer with such a little yap-yap. Very strange, I thought at the time.
All these photo ops indicating AW has turned the corner are all a bit much for me. If its true: good luck to him but I think the whole thing reeks of a fabrication.

What would you have had him do? Thump the reporter to prevent them doing a story? The article is pretty clear that Watmough refused to participate in the story and declined to be interviewed or provide a comment. If this was a setup on Watmough's part it seems a very strange way to go about it - get the press to show up and then refuse to co-operate. Now you can assume this is all part of the plot to make him look good but personally I doubt it. As I said before, the guy seems like a massive tool the vast majority of the time but I find it hard to begrudge him some kudos for this.

I would say it was fabricated by the Many media people. AW was probably doing what he was told. Like I said if its fair dinkum, good luck to him. Good chance he'll muck up within a year, I reckon. Cant teach an old dog/leopard doesn't change etc. etc. :wink:

Ink, if you're going to ridicule others, at least have the dignity to do it "face-to-face", instead of using the forum to express your disdain towards others.

Clearly (for some unknown reason) you hate Citizen Tiger (and myself) with a passion, and you seem to go out of your way to find a comment of either of ours you disagree with, and you will come up with insulting lines in order to make yourself feel better.

It was clearly evident the other day with the thread about 'home ground advantage' and is once again on display in this thread. Give it up, your bitter vendetta against the both of us has been carrying on for sometime now and frankly, is getting extremely boring.

I come here to talk football with fellow forum members who also want to talk football, not to get into boring, meaningless fights.

Get over yourself….you are attributing too much credit to your family, how can I hate you? you both are merely names on the net...I dont even know you.
I treat everyone here the same, you & daddy are no different.
===============================================

Dunno whats going on here, is someone on mod preview, there's posts in this thread that werent here last night, confusing, almost as confusing as members with very similar names and identical avatars...then they have the hide to have a crack at those getting them confused...simple things amuse simple minds so they say

Treat everyone the same? :roll This is the same guy who last year (went out of his way) to start up a topic about how Citizen Tiger was 'whinging' about sitting in the South's member's area and how he was a 'sore loser' in an attempt to gain support from other forum members. You failed miserably, must I add. Have a read of it if you want, it's vintage innsaneink at his charming best in this thread. :slight_smile:

If it were another forum member making the same call, I would be willing to put my life on you not making the same thread.

Enough of the pot-shots. Thread closes if it continues.

The heights that this has reached over one comment is ridiculous.

 

[citizen_cub]

I'm glad you stepped in CB, otherwise it would've got worse :neutral_face:

 

[innsaneink]

Someones paranoid

Mod is right Cub, just leave it, save the syllables for something that's worthwhile

Sound advice.

 

[citizen_cub]

Lol, I'd hardly call my comments 'pot shots'. Just getting the facts straight with a guy who continues to attack us for no apparent reason.

No name calling or insults, not my style.

 

[citizen_cub]

I'll leave the name calling for Innsaneink.

That's his way of debating with somebody.

 

[Cultured_Bogan]

In the first instance Cub, Ink's initial response was nondescript, there were numerous posts supporting your opinion. Who is to say it countered that of yours, or your CT's opinion? Furthermore, I'm all for challenging an opinion, but attack the post, not the poster. You didn't challenge the topic, you challenged the posters grammar and literacy. Hardly a sound argument and that of someone who is figuratively "clutching at straws."

One more pot shot in this thread and the offending user goes on mod preview. 3 people are skating very close to it right now so I strongly suggest everyone grow up and stick to the forum rules.
