@Kirwan just trying to provide a small amount of balance, which seems however to be an unwinnable battle.
Some of you must live miserable lives.
Besides, my favourite slur is actually "Kirwanker".
No, you are just a hypocrite. But every village needs an idiot.

@Kirwan shit, the role is already filled!!? I was told there's a long, long list of applicants but I was still in the hunt!!

There is a shortlist of suitable applicants, but that is actually quite long.

TBH @Duluth and @Mokey are probably the only people not on that list. The rest of us appear to be complete morans .
-
@Paekakboyz are they applicants or nominees?
-
@No-Quarter Yes. The shortlist is everybody else.
-
@No-Quarter In truth they begged me to apply, but I had to turn them down. Medieval Highland Menages won't write themselves.
I'm sure Mark will be an adequate plan B.

Yeah nah, sorry: One or so posts a year - always in reply to some stupid jealous idiot's shitposting - is not at all comparable to the constant bile like in this thread.
I mean, look at the state of it, Reddit would be ashamed.

Really in all seriousness though? This thread? You can't see that it is in jest?

I dunno, the giveaway would have been if any of it was at all remotely amusing.
Humour free zone

How could you not find Ben Blair’s 2004 highlight clip funny?

To be fair to those on here though, it only has to be amusing to some for it to be in jest.
And the biggest tip from this is that the 'amusement' wasn't really geared towards Canterbury fans as a whole

Because he knew Ben Blair and saw him carve up at schoolboy level. I remember the conversation over a beer and @Canerbry does have a sense of humour.
He also doesn't need me to stand up for him, so, whatever.

Personally, things I say in jest still have a grain of truth.
Fact1: the Saders are and were such a great organisation that they can make very good players look like great players when plugged into their system
Fact2: the Cantablack era was not a great era in terms of the quality of the ABs in a wider conversation about the best of the best. Having said that few could argue that most of those players were without dispute the best players available for selection at that time
Fact3: as good as Ben Blair was at lower levels, he will never be considered an excellent All Black. Absolutely no shame in that, just like Shane Philpott should never feel bad that he wasn't a good All Black
Doesn't stop us taking the piss. I mean, Canty players get plenty of love on the board (GOAT, DC, Bridge, Goodhue......), just got to have a wee laugh at ourselves and each other from time to time

Have you seen my posts? I did a serious one a year or two back I think...
Wasn't lecturing at you directly mate. Just saying that sometimes posters can hang on a little too tight
