This may come as a surprise to you MD, but on the weekends in Australia people generally stay up later than they do on the weekdays. Oh and you should be using AEST, not AEDST champ.
Insults, generalisations, lies, meaningless fluff, etc...
This is the problem with trolls, well, aside from ignoring reason. When they're outed their response is to post an endless flood of replies that always tend to go off on a tangent and end up making little sense. MD your reply is textook material, if there was a textbook on troll behaviour.
How is that in bad taste MD? I'm genuinely worried about you apparently losing your memory. It's either that you're you're consciously lying, which is it?
Genuinely worried, don't make me laugh. It was a bad taste way to try and put me down. Your reply is textbook for somebody with a bad argument, instead of actually going back to the original point you try and attack my character, saying I'm a Union troll, trying to make out that I hate Australians and even suggesting I have alzheimers. Thats in really really poor taste, especially as you know nothing about me.
Dally knows all too well about how I am a RL fan, the idea that I'm a Union troll is so laughable that I'll let you carry on without pointing out my RL credentials. People have actually met me from this forum and know me, a lot less know who you are and I don't need to indicate who I am to you.
So back onto the original point. I've not been lying, I've been wondering how far you'll go before you actually read what your insult was based on. I was suprised how far you were prepared to go.

You can't just pick and choose your attendances to prove your point. A Union fan could have said 'League is dying in Sydney because one team only got 10,000 and the Waratahs got 28,000.' That is effectively what you are doing in reverse.
The fact is that the Waratahs still average more than any one Sydney club. However to say it is bigger is ridiculous there are a lot more Sydney clubs.
The NZ Warriors do not average more than all the RU clubs it NZ and there are a lot more Union clubs so to suggest it is bigger is ridiculous also.
So before you even tried to ridicule me, I had ridiculed my own argument!
I'm not and have never been a Union fan, not that I mind the game, I just don't agree with people lying or exaggerating. People believe this stuff, and if I was reading it I'd want somebody to point out if it wasn't the whole story. Even manly4ever accepted my point, he just didn't agree that I should point out the truth it involves sticking up for Union, which I don't think it actually does.
