I would have hoped (expected) that someone in his position would be more reserved. Instead, as the months have rolled on, he's more likely to sling shite at those who disagreed with him as opposed to reasoned responses or not responding at all. Right now, IMO, he's no different that a whole bunch of twitter twats. His ideal would have been to rise above the fray...he hasn't I agree he needs to take a step back a little and not be so confrontational. It doesn't really help. but on the other side of it, the poor bloke was getting massive abuse from so many twitter wankers from day one (even before he started ranting back) that he probably snapped and started digging back. He shouldn't but was probably fed up of the grief. Think the best thing is, if you can't put up with all the twitter dickheads wanting to bitch on, then don't go on it.

Robster Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 The strain of waiting and hoping is getting to us all I think. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Consortium of one Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 My fervent hope is that Rafa does no interviews for current openings. It would indicate that he has an unspoken agreement with PIF/PCP and he's just waiting to gloriously return. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mighty__mag Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Said a few weeks ago, as soon as the season is over the takeover threads will ironically takeover, they have been regardless, but I did also think they'll get messy.

Hhtoon Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 We need to stop using Ben and Keith as the barometer for the takeover. It isn't going to fail because Ben is a bit more polished and slick, or because Keiths spelling is iffy. Not will it pass just because Keith is passionate and Ben made some bad life choices a decade ago. They're both feeding off 2nd hand info or their own research and adding their opinions.

Guest reefatoon Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Should maybe open a third takeover thread solely for folks to wave their dicks at each other for team Ben or team Keith. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
