Robbo - care to comment on the podbitch.com question as to who is going to replace Bill C as head of the PRO? They were suggesting you on the site - now is that just idle speculation on their part - or is their more going on then you are 'fessing up to?

:D

Robo as head of refs . . .

oh, yeah, I can see it now. "You can either (expletive deleted) walk off the (expletive deleted) field or I can wrap (expletive deleted) chair around your (expletive deleted) head and cram your (expletive deleted) marker up your (expletive deleted). Problem solved. Have a (expletive deleted) nice day, m8."

Yeah right !!!
I think I got enough aggravation in my life without having to slap a few loud mouth yanks around for gobbing off at me.
I really don't think I got the right temperament to do the job nor would I want to.
I been to the States something like 45 times now, I have done my bit in the US and have enough to be getting on with over here, what with the X-Ball team, my job, Backlash, just got married and so on.
Nah, any energy I got left, sure ain't gonna be diverted Stateside, far too much potential over here :)
But, I will say this much; Bill Cookston is going to be almost impossible to replace.
I have had a few run ins with him when I played for Aftershock and he always displayed great control, was always truly impartial and a man I have always respected.
As for his replacement ?
I would have to recommend somebody like Lane Wright, who would take no **** from anybody and has a vast knowledge of the game and just as importantly the respect of all the top players.
He's the only guy I could think of who could fill them boots !!

Si,
AFAIK Bill isn't being replaced, more that a few (relatively vocal) opponents of PRO are trying to make it happen.

I think they are working on the "where's there smoke......" theory

Hey Baca, that dialogue you suggested is almost verbatim to what generally happens when I get pissed off, so, the conspiracy theory deepens surrounding your identity as, 'How would anybody purporting to live in Florida, know so well, the way I have conducted myself in the past' ?
I'm intrigued !
And I can't wait till the big IAO in Pitts and we finally meet :)
Should be fun !
