Being a long weekend with no club games and a week that has disappointed the highly credentialed independent assessor he decided to publish his much sought after ratings early.
To the astonishment of the insightful one, Scribe, - our man for detail - detected an uncanny link in the Brian Speaking and Sausage Roll modus operandi, alleging a certain commonality in posting styles. The assessor was quite taken aback by the venom in the response launched at Scribe by BS over the dual alias allegation. He reflected on whether Bob Down would have reacted in that manner. That shock discovery notwithstanding, what really floored the assessor during the verbal fisticuffs that ensued between BS and Scribe was that he – Scribe – had also dipped into the multiple alias pond at one point. The forum conscience double dipping!!!!!!! The insightful one had to have a snifter from the top shelf to compose himself.
All that said, the major matter of continuing discomfort and concern to the assessor is that Cardio Carl/Get Over It clearly hasn't sought counselling and treatment for Forum Flog Syndrome(FFS). His posts during the week clearly point to the condition getting worse. The assessor is seeking a Swahili interpreter in an attempt to make some sense of those CC/GOI ramblings. Sadly, whenever CC/GOI emerges the forum plummets in quality. Even the extremely tolerant, scholarly and well mannered Scribe was showing signs of exasperation at the CC/GOI green and gold phobia and tortuous conspiracy fantasies. FFS is not an easy condition to cure particularly when the condition is chronic.
Some of Scribe's constructive work early in the week pleased the insightful one. Because he offers balance and thoughtfulness when the forum is in danger of going into the abyss a more even performance throughout the week would enhance the already high esteem in which he is held and add much needed worthwhile content. The quality input of Plumber49 continues to impress and newbie amofootyfan deserves a special mention for his 5 part questions designed to raise the standard of chatter during a slow footy week. As does another newbie in vaffaman who also produced a considered post. The assessor was chuffed to see a shift to a more constructive posting demeanour by privateye and how Jascave continues to bring quality posts to the forum table thereby moving further up the rating scale to be a contender for poster of the week in the not too distant future. On the debit side, just why cubzy goes walkabout so often and bouncing back rarely does any bouncing these days mystifies the highly credentialed independent assessor.
The insightful one is penitent over his harsh assessment of Over The Post in relation to perceived tardiness in posting the ratings. OTPs explanation for being a little late with the much sought after tipping ratings was more than reasonable. As it turns out it was in no way due to a hangover related to some prolonged post match imbibing where he made a proper 'Charlie' of himself as the assessor had prematurely, unjustly and unreasonably thought. More frequent posting appearances from OTP early in the week pleased the remorseful assessor and has resulted in an appreciable lift in his rating elevating him to equal week four leader with Plumber49
Let’s hope the forthcoming week is more edifying.
Play on
