robbo
i have been reading the forums for a couple of months now and i have to say that i think robbo is targetted on and off the field. in various threads he is insaulted and what is being said is not being done in jest, most of the jestful insaults have smilies to suggest that a joke is being done.
robbo, a man that has been voted the "worlds greatest player" must know a little about paintball, therefore his comments must be helpful, enaling teams to improve. if robbo watched pompy uni play and said we were crap if he justifies himself then we would be happy and would probably improve some. in various threads he has said a comment and justified it yet there is always someone who wants to argue.
maybe things happen on the field or at tourneys that pisses him off or he says stuff that pisses others off, but remember that at tourneys the adrenaline is pumping and the 'fight or flight mechanism' come in a little higher brain function dissapears, everybody does it - just look at the powerplay dvd and see how many players sware, kick netting, argue, etc. its all psychological.
on the field everybody wants to get an advantage and having an opposition pissed off may help as they may do rash things which could effect the game. everybody does it even if they don't realise it. everybody want to win. if you don't believe me ask elrikos as he is studying psychology.
so that i am saying is that if arguements occur, settle them, don't start a war. we want to be taken as a 'proper' sport, and infighting will not help. JUST LEAVE IT ON THE FIELD
