  • Funny if Cam had a middle initial "E"...
    • Lol
    • Funny you should point that out.Remember Mr Humphries,the gay dude from Are You Being Served?Funnily enough the actor's name was John Inman,appropriately enough.
      The "cam/e" caused me endless blank faced confusion in Year 7 where a popular joke at the time was "What do you do if come across an elephant? Wipe it off and say you're sorry."
      I just could not get it.
  • We must not let America know about our game or we'll lose another Parra player.

    • Nothing to worry about slip, Hayne will be the 1st and last u lose as no other player from eels territory will garner such interest. Your hapless club lost the only thing it had going for them and are highly unlikely to recover in your time. Its no secret the Eels are a blight on the game, they exist just to allow an even number of teams in the comp, they offer less than little and will be comfortable in winning yet another spoon at seasons end....their 3rd in 4 years mind you, that is unprecedented in the modern game.

      The merge is on slip, the eels are a mere laughing stock and just propping up the numbers, its clear that the clubs existence is pointless when other teams refer to the eels as the bye.

  • TOP_DAWG - I'm calling you out

    not sure about the merge

    otherwise, everything else you say is correct

    parra is the very definition of dysfunction and are are along way off before any sort of winning on a consistent basis can be thought of

    so thanks for the update top_dawg as "we" parra supporters did not have that figured out without your insight.

    The only thing that bothers me "really" about posts like yours and that scum Scott Stevens (Manly) is that you come on hear and dish it out when Parra are down but are too gutless to come back after your Team loses etc

    That's one of the things I love about sport, - you put sh1t  (banter /fun) on opposition teams and supporters and they do the same in reverse, esp in at work, in the pub or at the game

    Call me "old school" but there was a certain amount is honor in being a rascal like that - and it IS good fun

    But scaredy cats like you and Stevens - only come here for one way traffic - when you know that there is nothing we can say to counter your argument and then you go away - never to return after your team loses and esp if - the unthinkable happens - Parra actually beat the Dogs - which we have been known to do.........then we don't see you or Stevens.....why is that do you think ?

    Good thing about Manly's year being so bad, that PREDICTABLY, Scott Stevens has not made an appearance.

    So you two are just  nothing but a pair of gutless bullies that take pleasure putting the boot in when your adversary is down in the gutter

    Why not show some balls mate - some of that "bulldog" and front up after a loss - and take some back !!! it is, after all, the proper way to do things - you know that's the truth

    But YOU won't do that "tough guy" will you - both you and stevens ONLY like to bully and kick you in the guts when you are down

    So you ALWAYS win - well good for you

    I have been a member at 1eyedeel for years - i've seen you posts and watched your behavior and generally just look at posts from you and stevens as pathetic and gutless

    But I'm calling you out this time

    I wish there were more fans from other clubs to come on board & have a go at Parra - and that they would comeback and cop it after a loss - now that WOULD be fun

    So bring it on top_dawg - I'm up for the fight - just come back after a loss...I DARE YOU scaredy cat

    But yours and stevens motivation isn't for the fun of it. for the sport of it, for the comraderie etc

    Your motivation is actually quite sinister and pathetic

    WE had names for kids like you back in school - just because you hide behind a keyboard, don't think the rest of us don't know that you are really nothing but a coward trying to be a bully

    Go the Doggies

    ps - one of my favorite EVER footballers is Steve Mortimer - now that guy actually really did scare and terrorise me as a Parra fan - he is one of my half back hero's and the BEST cover defender i EVER saw. His chip n chase was the scariest thing I ever saw from an opposition player

    an all time Legend - I saw him play in the 70's when he was even more dynamic than he was in the 80's.....there was nothing as frighting to THIS Parra supporter than Steve Mortimer in the 70's

    .....just for the record

    • LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL, i cannot believe i read that entire dribble from u Tele. But good for u, you put yourself up as the #1 candidate to represent the eels fans to call out and take on that tough guy Top_dawg when that nasty rascal that gutless bully boy strikes again, and i will u know, i always do. So please keep up always and dont let this call out be a 1 off, plenty of fun to be had here.

       Speaking of your long time membership on 1eyed Tele, mine is in its 7th season, ive enjoyed it immensely and have no plans of a hiatus anytime soon, so i hope my shameless and gutless posts of ur beloved yet hapless, pathetic, disgraceful and long time under achieving eels dont hurt u too much oh precious one.

       One other thing, please forward me your timetable so i can be on here for you to throw pot shots back my way, gee i cant believe we keep missing each other as i swear im always on here irrespective of a Dogs win loss......

      • TD, things can change overnight. When your mob decided to join Super League, 4 of your guys jumped ship, which favoured us big time. Parra won't stay like this. Even if they don't make it happen, something else will.  

      • Top_Dawg

        as i said - if you come here after a loss RESPECT - then dish it out and bring it on when you win (or we invariably lose) - it's all part of the fun

        I know you have been hear for years, me too (and longer than 7 years), i didn't suggest you leave, just back it up after a loss

        The irony here is that after the GF loss ( don't recall seeing you) - I was one of the very FEW that praised the Dogs for their performance in the GF (and unlikely semi final run) - and for keeping the game close before the floodgates opened in the last 8mins

        But I don't recall seeing you after ANY loss (not just GF), then, in all fairness, I apologise if that is the not the case.

        More opposition fans DOES make it better......so YES, I always back it up - don't worry about that

        So we'll see

        i cant believe we keep missing each other as i swear im always on here irrespective of a Dogs win loss.....

        where were you while I was defending your doggies ? - you HAD to know it was coming after the GF

        not that I expected you to show up on an eels website on the DAY of a GF loss - but I don't recall seeing you after that either

        just sayin'

        • i cant believe we keep missing each other as i swear im always on here irrespective of a Dogs win loss.....

          And in the interest of fair play and sportsmanship - I owe you an apology - It bothered me that you defended yourself about posting after a loss......so I checked.....thoroughly. 

          I also admit, apart from my conscious nagging away at me, I was also hoping to find a pattern of "missing" posts after a Dogs loss, so that I could bury you (lol) metaphorically speaking - like a bone.

          But, I was (for me lol) sadly mistaken

          For The Record - posted below is the proof I found regarding your ability to "back it up after a loss". Regrettably (for me lol) the evidence was so overwhelmingly in your favour, that I had no option other than to post this apology with full disclosure of my mistakes, falsely accusing you of bad sportsmanship, being a bully, gutless, a coward, a scaredy cat and pathetic........whilst your posts are indeed annoying (and mostly true - Parra are sh1thouse) -  they are, what I consider "fair play"......and you indeed front up after losses in a timely manner so that you can "cop it"....and that's fair enough.

          A footnotre aside - after investigating your recent post history - I have concluded that you are indeed a master criminal - somehow, even after a Bulldogs Loss, the vitriol you spew somehow hypnotises hapless and unaware Eels fans to completely forget to remind you that your mediocre team had just LOST as well. eg, For three consecutive weeks Rounds 8-10 the Dogs had 3 consecutive losses (so did Parra), yet hardly a jab at the Doggies was thrown your way, you managed to confuse unsuspecting eels fans to hurl personal abuse, which is meaningless compared to the real matter at hand - 3 consecutive losses Bulldog (almost parra-esque).........that's pretty clever.......it pains me to say........and only the mind of a master manipulator could perpetrate such crimes against humanity.

          It is baffling to me to try to understand your motivation, your need, your yearning to torment eels fans. So I wondered, were you the kid with the magnifying glass that burnt ants - or the kid that removed the wings from flys - perhaps ? perhaps not ? When clearly, as you have pointed out on so many occasions, that there is no possible satisfaction to be gained by supporting such hapless folly, as the rag tag outfit known only to US as our beloved Eels......but I digress

          I could have easily just hit those little blue "x"'s on the top right of each post and made this disaster all just go away......but that would have been hypocritical.......so I'd rather be right no matter how foolish and long winded it may appear......and hopefully you got a laugh or two along the way.

          My apologies Top_Dawg - I had no business accusing you of being a "bad sport".....
