Homesick Canberra Raiders youngster Anthony Milford eyes Brisbane Broncos move

Re: Milford returns to Canberra for 2014 preseason training
"Although I've acted like a complete knob end for the last 12 months, all of those who have nevertheless failed to completely support me are haters...sorry, haterz.....and deserve to be punched"
Son, we live in a world that has forums, and those forums have to be guarded by Mods. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Nickman? I have a greater responsibility than you can possibly fathom. You weep for Lucy, and you curse GE. You have that luxury. You have the luxury of not knowing what I know -- that GE’s moderation, while tragic, probably saved lives; and my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, keeps threads on track and under the appropriately sized, highlighted green headings.
You want moderation because deep down in places you don't talk about at parties, you want me on that forum -- you need me on that forum. We use words like "stay on topic," "use the appropriate forum," "please delete." We use these words as the backbone of a life spent defending something. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very moderation that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather that you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise, I suggest you get a green handle and edit a post. Either way, I don't give a DAMN what you think about moderation.

Agree 100%. Cant wait to get into it this year!!Brew wrote:That's a positive post, can't wait for the footy to start so we can stop talking about all this off field crap.
At least the guy looks keen for the season and to play, I'll just enjoy his talents for this year and worry about 2015 later. It seems like his heart is in so good luck to him.
Re: Milford returns to Canberra for 2014 preseason training
Inala is not a place I would choose to live, but it's nastiness is generally far over-stated (I honestly can't remember the last shooting or 'drive-by' there). It's a poor suburb with an incredible ethnic diversity, which obviously lends itself to delinquency and crime more than other, more harmonious neighbourhoods, but it's hardly a gangland.dubby wrote:No, I'm talking stabbings, shootings and drive-bys.Nick wrote:Gang related violence?

Oh yeah, Milford is from the mean projects of Inala. I send my apologies to the Anthony Milford. Dude is a straight up KING PIN!
Christ almighty.
Inala is a very bad area.
Nick has it right -- you'd think Milford had stepped straight off of The Wire by the way he talks.

This. It's like when Dugan talks about his upbringing in a "rough" neighbourhood - out on the mean streets of Tuggernong
These brats grew up in one of the luckiest countries in the world, blessed with luxuries kids in other countries wouldnt even dream of. They need to grow the **** up.
It seemed to coincide with the release of GTA San Andreas..
Maybe it's a massive coincidence, but it might have something to do with it

Mate the drive bys aren't a daily event, but the suburb is rife with drug problems, offences against the person. Not every crime makes the media but if suburbs like Mackenzie started having stabbings and race related street fights you'd hear more about it. Sadly that Inala area and Logan are generally regarded as the ugly, violent burbs and people expect that type of behavior. Josh Papalii could tell us a thing or 2 about Woodridge for example.Smurfette wrote:Inala is not a place I would choose to live, but it's nastiness is generally far over-stated (I honestly can't remember the last shooting or 'drive-by' there).

In Milford's case, he's following a stereotype. This kid reminds me so much of Dugan and Ferguson
I never said it was a gangland either, in the dramatic USA sense you imply. Omcg are a bigger gang problem in QLD
The spiral of silence refers to the idea that when people fail to speak, the price of speaking rises. As the price to speak rises, still fewer speak out, which further causes the price to rise, so that fewer people yet will speak out, until a whole culture or nation is silenced. This is what happened in Germany.
If you do not speak, you are not being neutral, but are contributing to the success of the thing you refuse to name and condemn.

Re: Milford returns to Canberra for 2014 preseason training
Sorry, but I kinda feel like the haterZgonnahate comments are directed at us, the ACTUAL fans of the Canberra Raiders, who constantly have to put up with "real eyes realise real lies", "gidday up sooooon" and "haterzcanuppercutheemsleves"
You know what what?? **** off and **** off now. You're not bigger than my club and you never will be you little ****.

Why not try;
"Tony, stay off twitter, it's pissing off the canberrra fans and you have to play their next year. I'll release a short statement that goes someting like. "I'm looking forward to resuming pre season training with my team mates and ripping in and providing the Canberra raiders and their fans with a successful 2014 #We are Raiders".
I know the players like to keep twitter because they can further their "individual brand" but for most of them it just shows them up as massive douchebags, at least get your manager to proof read them.

Re: Milford returns to Canberra for 2014 preseason training
good kid, we would be in real bad shape if he was still not around this year at least.
All the haters out there get over it he wants to play for his childhood club the broncos and be with his family.
Deal with it just take the pop corn out and watch this amazing talent in our jersey while you still can this year.

Re: Milford returns to Canberra for 2014 preseason training
I don't think that anyone really begrudges him wanting to play for his childhood club and be with his family billyt. They begrudge the fact that he, his family and his manager have carried on like a bunch of douchebags for the past 6 months.

I hope for his sake he figures some of that stuff out, because a) this is a team game and it's not all about him (no matter how good he is) and b) you're a long time retired if it all turns to custard, so carrying on like a gangster and burning bridges with the 'haterz' (aka the fans of the club you currently play for) is hardly the way an intelligent human would conduct themselves.robtheraider wrote:Ahh, sincerity.
