Flowers Wilts. Paves Way For tWEEDledumb.

April 13th 2007 03:09
from www.sportal.com.au ...the worst Rugby news I've heard for a while...will never be as bad as 'Larkham Injured' or 'Larkham Not Playing' or Larkham Not Mentioned' but...it's not good.


Australian Rugby Union chief executive Gary Flowers is to step down from the post after a tumultuous three-year reign.

...you mean a three year drought....


Flowers has called a press conference for noon on Friday to announce his decision.

Eh?
...announce of flesh.....


He will remain in the position until December 31.

New Year's Grieve.


Flowers' departure may pave the way for former ARU boss John O'Neill's return following his successful stint as boss at Football Federation Australia.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

No. No. No. Fuck No.

John O'Neill is a weed...tweedledumb and tweedledumber rolled into one.

Flowers took on the ARU's top job in June 2004 and has attracted constant criticism for a perceived lack of leadership.

Yeah well....with a name like Flowers....

Flowers was a pansy (...?...) and he may not be a perennial....he didn't last 3 seasons...but John O'Neill is.....cactus.

A total prick.


Flowers tried, he really did and his list of accomplishments should have made this gig a bed of roses but...what do you expect from a man who hasn't actually played Rugby?

It's as ironic as paying a league player squillions to not play Rugby.


Less ironic than bringing back the fool who f**ked Australian Rugby.

Under the 'weedership' of O'Neill.....Australian Rugby was nipped in the bud.




OH MY Godeity.

Me. Pick Me.

If I was the CEO of the Australian Rugby Union....I'd......fill in the blanks.....

Not a fan of Rugby, but such a fan of you and your quick wit.

You radiate brilliance.

I don't need to know anything at all about Rugby to appreciate this article ...

This is one of the most hilarious sporting articles I have ever read ... (and I've read heaps of them ...

I'd quote you ... but I'm laughing too much ...

Give me a bit of time, and I'll return ...

Why did John O'Neil leave FFA? Didn't just get that appointment?

Did he walk or was he booted?

Why go back to union? Why leave union in the first place?

I'm not well versed in either soccer or union politics.

Love & stuff

Dusk,
I suppose with a name like O'Neill, John will have a lot to be penitent for.
Really enjoyed the article.
What's next?
Campo set to coach Wallabies.

Hello Mrs M

I don't know why O'Neill is leaving (or wants to leave) the FFA but I can only suspect the reasons...very similar to why he left the ARU.

I rememeber reading somewhere that he and Frank Lowy(?) did not get on.

Gee, wonder why?

O'Neill's contract is 'til next year but he has a habit of jumping ships earlier.

O'Neill made Rugby Union more about the money than the love.

He hated George Gregan, didn't want him as Captain, leaked stories to the media to discredit him (was a rumour then a fact), and a lot of the Wallabies hated him.

...and he made Rugby Union out of reach of the 'average' lover of the game...the ones who couldn't afford to pay an arm, leg and kidney to take their families to watch a game of Rugby.
He reveled in the whole Boys Club crap.

AND...he allowed the 'poaching' of league players.

AND...He may be credited as making the '03 Rugby World Cup a success but the RWC was also known as the John O'Neill show.

The man's ego is bigger than his head.

He may be very good at what he does but he does it for the wrong reasons.

And that's my rant over.

Plus I've just finished watching the NSW Waratahs v Qld Reds match and I'm riled!!

...grrrr...

Anyway...hope you're having a good weekend.

much warmth

Dusk

...giNORMous...

Unfortunately with a name like O'Neill...he thinks it means everyone else should.

O Lawd...Campo as Wallabies Coach....they'll have to carry combs...

Draw deep my friend...

Dusk ...

Maybe if Campo does take the job on ...

They'll do their pre-season training at

Camp Easy?

Queer as a bottle of chips or Camp as a row of tents? ...

Credit where it's due to all metrosexuals though, Campo was the Nureyev of Rugby in his day ...

Throw me the Ball-e(t)h? And a backward's pass, sweetie, if you don't mind. Or I'll seriously bitch-slap you?!

Up in the stands, a young boy trying to earn a few extra bucks is heard. "Donuts! Get ya Donuts here!' (that's a Seinfield reference ... 'Somewhere in the distance a dog barks ... '

I love your posts and comments section ...

David ...
