Stop waffling, man. Whether you were mistaken, making it up, misinformed or whatever is neither the point, nor of even remote interest to me. Your post was untrue, as it clearly meant that Noble had lied, but he did not. If you can accept that, then we can both shut the fsck up. PS you also need to work on the distinction between "article" and "quote".
you still dont have a 'quote' from BN saying that he was approached on Monday so I'm struggling to see what you dont understand?? I dont believe I am wrong. I believe that BN was asked whether he would take over for free on Thursday. I believe this because it is something he said, not an article I read. I am not saying he is lying as I havent, as of yet, seen where he states that he was only contacted on Monday.
Dont get me wrong, there may be one, he may say it, but I havent seen it yet. If he does say this, then I will then most likely call him a liar.
I know. I sometimes wish that I could even once, rise to the dizzy heights of your bewitching prose, but how can mere mortals compete with your stunning insights? It is enough that you let us share the crumbs from the bounty of your literary feast. Thank you.

FFS why don't the pair of you use the PM option, totally derailed thread......

OMG another one. What - specifically discussing an approach to Brian Noble to coach the Bulls, on a Bulls forum, in a thread called "Brian Noble" is derailing it? On which planet?
But congratulations on your appointment as a moderator.

The facts are plainly stated in the quotes. It is your fault you can't follow them, though I very much doubt you can't. Nevertheless I'll take a final stab:
1. The administrator phoned Noble
2. Noble confirmed he immediately approached Cummins. (you need to concentrate on the word "immediately. The reasons will become clear)
3. We have confirmation from Potter and from Cummins that that phone message (Noble to Cummins) was on the Monday. Therefore, the administrator phoned Noble on the Monday. (Otherwise Noble would be lying when he claimed he "immediately" phoned Cummins;. "Immediately" is not a word that can be misconstrued. Are you with me so far?)
4. Noble said he "left him {Cummins} a message and then he left me a message back saying that, with everything that had happened, he didn't think he could do it. We did speak later in the night and that's the way it was left, but by that stage they'd had the supporters' meeting." "We did speak later in the night" can ONLY mean the night of the same day the message was left. It certainly can't mean "we did speak one night the following week". And it was the same day as the night of the supporters' meeting. That is, MONDAY. Not any day last week.
QED
Now, that is all crystal clear, to anyone who wants to understand it. Do you?
sorry, you are right. the QUOTE that you just provided with Noble stating he was FIRST approached about this on MONDAY makes it crystal clear. Im just glad you provided that rather than a mixture of quotes from people.
FYI, I am not doubting that BN immediatley contacted FC on Monday following confirmation that he could take over. I am suggesting he had already been approached on THURSDAY about whether he would work for free.
I hope Noble comes on board for Sunday, even if it is just naming the team and making interchanges. I think what is annoying people is not Noble coming in it's they way the administrator is handling things.
I suspect he still might. Maybe I'm a bit pedantic but Noble uses the present tense in his comment to the T&A; I only want to do what's best for the Bulls - my feeling is that the door is still open or he might have said he wanted to do what's best for the Bulls. I certainly hope so, and I also hope that he realises that the fans obvious, and deserved, liking and respect for Mick Potter doesn't in any way mean we don't want him; we do. Please come Brian!

What do you mean, sorry I'm right? I insist you withdraw that, so we can keep on arguing!

As I've said, I have no doubt that many people will have been sounded out about many things, Noble and Tasker certainly among them. But too much of this agreeing already.
FWIW I am fairly confident Nobby will be in the dugout this weekend. I certainly hope so.
