If you don't get it, then how is it obvious that I am trying to be smart. Surely the best you can be doing is making an assumption. Doesn't seem to be the first time you have put two and two together an come up with "fornicate me, i'm a dickhead".

Sorry if i get a little sensitive. Your posts, along with FBB's and Carlos-Wigan just tend to wind me up. They must be in response to all the trolling Australian posters do on the British Forum. If your posts are not trolling then they are disguised barbs, nothing short.

Once again, i seem to come across at very least as cynical. I apologise for that.

I post both positive and negative opinions here but the negative ones always get pounced on. This board just quite simply cannot stand to hear a bad word said about Australian boxing (unless it's about Mundine).

I'm not trolling, I'm not firing barbs, I'm just expressing my opinions. Some of them positive, some of them negative, but everybody's just so sensitive here. Can you point to anything I've said which was unreasonably critical?

Funso's another one. He repeatedly praises Bob Mirovic but is a "troll" because he doesn't rate Meehan? Carlos Wigan's "Meehan is British" was obviously tongue-in-cheek.

Look at it another way. Those two and I are the only foreigners who post on the Aussie board with any regularity. And we are the ones you guys don't like. Hmmm...

Is it because:

a) We have nothing better to do with our time, so decided "hey, let's go and annoy some people on the Aussie board"?That's pretty random, don't you think?

b) Worse than that, we have an agenda against Australian boxing? I can't speak for the other two, but I can't think of any reason why I would have. And before you say I'm jealous of your success in other sports, far from it. I couldn't give a shit about rugby and cricket. Boxing is the only sport I care about.

c) Or perhaps - and this is pretty outrageous, but hear me out - as we are foreigners, we can look at things through neutral eyes and say what we see, unclouded by patriotism?

i think i'll take "D". None of the above.

Stuffed if i'll have my thoughts on the matter placed into one of only three simplistic catergories by you.

I also can't be stuffed to go through posts by the three of you to highlight inaccuracies and poor assumptions. You speak as if your opinion is irrefuteable and call just about anyone who speaks up againt them, or denies your comments to be so, over-senitive and overly-parochial.

I not going to lump all the poms on this forum into one catergory as there are heaps of excellent posters. But i have my opinions of some who haunt these pages.

Good day to you sir.

Of course my opinions are not irrefutable. But I have the right to express them. What comes across as irrefutable is the standard to which Australian boxers are held here. If I say "Australian Boxer A is not that good (in my opinion)", it will not only be refuted (which I suppose is fair enough) but I will be attacked for having that opinion.

Listen, if I was anti-Aussie, or trolling, or whatever, why would I be going to such lengths to tell you that this is wrong? I'd consider it job done.

And going back a few posts, as I'm so stupid, please spell out for me what your point was about me being a non-Thai in Thailand. I missed it and require illumination, if you'd be so kind.

Bloody hell - and I thought us poms where the whinging bastards - the 'Kali Meehan is British' post was a JOKE! Sorry it failed your sense of humour test. You know - I porbably know more about Australian boxing and its history than you and certainly more than 80% of the posters on this forum who can only post about how good/bad Anthony Mundine is - its boring when you read the same crap about the same fighter time and time and time again.

Justin Whitehead - Commonwealth Games bronze medalist who got stopped by Audrey Harrison in Kuala Lumpur beat Kim Heta over 8 rounds in his 2nd pro fight which is an excellent win in my opinion but no-one has posted anything about it! If you look at my posting history about Australian boxing - 99.9% of it is positive and I am interested in boxing down under - pity most of the lame brains on here cannot see past Choc Mundine and the views of - it makes this forum rather pitiful and boring!

I'm sorry. Your huge brain makes you too scary a prospect to criticise.

And, by the way, Mundine sucks.

I live in Thailand.

The only Englishmen in Thailand are child molesters like Gary Glitter.

Glitter was in Vietnam.

I think it's the Australian chile molesters that go to Thailand

Any white man in South East Asia is suspect.

Including Mike Katsidis?

Did you see that doco where those 2 journos were trying to track Glitter down?

They went to an orphanage in Cambodia which just happened to be next door to the old colonial house Glitter had been renting. They showed the head man a picture of Glitter complete with wig and said "Ever seen this guy?".

Head man says "No, no, not seen that man ever."

Then they pulled out a more recent photo of Glitter without the wig. "What about him"?

"Oh, yes! That's Dr Gary. He very nice man. Every week he come to visit and give all the kids a check up. Sometimes twice a week. Lovely man is Dr Gary - he work for free!"
