Why doesn't this thread exist?...oh it does now!

[HawkMan 80]

Surprised no one started this before now. The dastardly deed was committed over twelve hours ago. No one here watched the FA Cup draw last night, fair enough, I did though out of genuine interest, but also because Tony Adams was doing the draw and I wanted to see if RL.got a mention. When Mark Chapman introduced him and mentioned the charity work he does, then BINGO, yes RL.would get mentioned, or so I thought. But no! Adams talked about an FA initiative that he's involved in about mental health, very worthy, but no RL recognition even though he does similar work there too, and Chapman a RL presenter would know of this. I don't usually go for a conspiracy theory to ignore RL.but this seemed a tad suspicious.

He's an ex Football player doing a Football draw, it should be no surprise that they don't mention another sport.

[The Hallucinating Goose 1,794]

He is an ex-football player, on a football program aimed at football fans and so he talked about his work in football.

But they did go off topic to mention his mental health charity,and he's an ex England captain involved in RL , that surely is worth a passing mention at least. I don't necessarily expect him to pipe up about it but Chapman could have said , " great work Tony, and you spread your charity work to RL terrific" , or something similar.

I think that's fair comment, and Chapman, who is a useful presenter, does football regularly as well as RL/NFL.  So no reason why he should intrude.

Is this a wind up?

There was good reason this thread didn't exist.......

I'll keep my eyes/ears peeled for next time Russell Crowe is at the Oscars and if he doesn't mention RL then that just goes to show the oppression has sadly spilt into North American, thus denying any opportunity for the game to flourish from the outset. Sad.

BINGO! YES IT'S A WIND UP!! I carefully worded the title using" Oh , it does now" as in "oh dear" No one bit the hook, I wonder if anyone will now?! Unfortunately no one revealed the BBC/Portillo thread was a wind up. I've made my point, conspiracy theorists should get a life.

I`m not sure what you thought you were doing with this, but its not what you did do....at all. This is pathetic.

It's a tip.

[Johnoco 7,174]

Not exactly a like for like comparison is it?

Had they done a feature on Tony Adams and not mentioned Arsenal, that would be more like it.

It actually WAS mentioned before in another thread ...

If you go to page 3 of the "BBC again" thread you will see that I mentioned about Tony Adams doing the draw a couple of hours before it was made .... but nobody else commented on it.

Defining your sport by being a parody always a good move.

It exposed nothing and revealed less, unless you count trolling as having any significance?

It’s a little known fact that there were traces of honey found at each murder scene ..
