Guest Brethers Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Jonathan is playing a very odd game, but I think we have to ignore any speculation right now from Julian and try and accept that Jonathan won't play for us. Maybe when his club situation is sorted and if we're looking like making the hex he'll lean back to Canada, who knows. On his club situation, he said a club in England were interested in him, potentially Swansea? His old manager at Mallorca is there now and with Sigurdsson probably joining Liverpool they might need a new attacking CM... I think Hoilett is going to make a decision after the Panama double header. With 2 games to go in the WCQ round, a good idea can be gained about us and Jamaica making the hex and he'll have settled in a club by then.

lattes Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Can someone please kill all JDG2 threads and ban them from this site forever!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmonte Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Can someone please kill all JDG2 threads and ban them from this site forever!!!! This one is 16 pages long. Why would someone ban a page that people are interested in? To chase them away to sites where they can discuss things freely in a free speech environment? This IS a free speech country after all? But yeah, don't worry...it's still been only a week, it will peter out soon. I'm done with talking about it personally, as I think, too, that I won't trust to what Julian is saying. Jonanthan is done here. And lattes, I've said this many times, we should stop calling him JDG2. He doesn't deserve that moniker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple points: 1) this is not a country, this is the internet, this is an internet board the mods are in charge of making decisions as they see fit 2) I'm sure if I post a thread of Will Johnson having sex with a supermodel people will be interested, would we want to leave that thread open? 3) Yes you've suggested not to use JDG2, and it seems no one agrees, we use it because its easy to type 4 characters and everyone knows him here as that. 4) You've said your done with the topic about 4 times and you still keep bumping and rehashing it. Finally the reason this thread should be closed is because we have other players that we should focus on, even negative attention to JDG2 is still time and attention taken away from our players, not only that but his brother plays for us and their is still a cloud of uncertainty over the whole issue.

This thread will die on its own if fellas like you and me and Madamonte stop posting, especially when we have nothing of value to add on the subject.

Ok, I'm offended. Holy ****, Socrates, that's an interesting twist the topic to your liking isn't it? What a load you just heaved there in an attempt to make a point that isn't close to addressing what I had actually said. Answering each ridiculous point individually. 1) The internet mods are canadian and I have faith that they will allow free speech within the guidelines of this site. Go look up the forum rules. Talking about Jono isn't against the rules. Although Owen ********** last name is a swear (as you can see), but that's just funny. I trust them to be open minded individuals in terms of posting content. 2) That is against forum rules. See point 1. Also distasteful. Talking about a soccer player isn't. 3) I keep saying it because I don't like Jonathan, but I like Julian. It's a joke, not an actual suggestion. 4) I'm not talking so much about Jonathan now, but other people's right to talk about it. You don't like it, don't open the thread. Just because you are sick of talking about something doesn't mean that you can force other people to be sick of talking about it too. If that wasn't the case, then this thread wouldn't be 16 pages long, in less than a week, which it is. Although unfortunately, the last page of that has degenerated into "should we be allowed to talk about it". Sorry Beaver, you are right, but I was offended and couldn't resist. I will agree that it is well to focus on other players as well...but we can do both. It's not like I have to devote my time, or energy to thinking about what you want me to think about. And I think that the spirit of forum boards is free discussion as long as it is relevant to the topic. If you want a REAL reason this thread should be closed you could have argued that this Forum is titled "National Men's Team and Players". Of which De Guzman is not, and that argument would actually hold water. But I think honestly, since it was about him and the national team, it is relevant to the forum. And the people that wanted to discuss it did. Noone has in a couple days. If others decide to talk about it again, that's their right, though, and I'd support it. Realize...to some newer visitors to these forums this MAY actually be new news, that they may want to comment on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You fell faster than most. It didn't take you anytime to show your true side I see.

No problem you have your right to speak as you will too. I believe in what I said about free speech, but can see your points about forum mods controlling speech. Realistically, though, there is never a need in our society to shut down a lively debate. I apologize for the nature of my debate, in the end I wrote in haste, which I normally try not to do. As for jahmanagain he's probably a poser white kid with rascally dreadlocks who smokes a lot of weed and idolizes jamaican culture, but has never been outside of Thunder Bay, Ontario.

I am so confused now that I am a racist.) I'd love to ban the dude, if only because he's a troll (and a mighty lame one at that) but it is up to us to just ignore the douche.
