Keogh busted for alleged cocaine possession

Keogh was credited with cleaning Cronulla up after their last drug scandal, which culminated in a premiership. Now mot long after he himself gets pinged for drugs. Full circle.

I started it and it's about time we all got back on track.

Ill take KR being "pedantic" over the anonymous bullies who decide everyone that isn't like them is a troll who should be banned.

Jesus...someone put this thread out of its misery

Can we have the topic title changed to "The definition of 'Most'"?

You were the one who invented something and stated it as fact. That is entirely on you. If you want to talk shit and have no one correct it then a message board isn't the place for you.

Its probably more that you dictate with your responses to many peoples posts. Its at a stage where even when/if you are correct in your respaonse, you come across like such a dictator of terms that it supercedes the initial rebutal you have. Just some constructive feedback for you.

Does my opinion on the usage of cocaine in this country really matter? Ofcourse not!

Yeah true that. How about the interview he did with the sunnies on. Poor bloke not having a good run and that wasnt a veey good look keeping your ray bans on! Been copping it a bit on twitter too.

Let's get back to the topic of Keogh and cocaine instead of about trolls. That's their aim - to veer us off of the topic and make it about them.

Cram my sincere apologies for my misuse of the terms most and many. My annoyance was more to do with the same old troll calling people out on minute issues rather than being wrong about peoples coke use. Does it really matter if i throw my opinion in amongst many others? Kr singles out the little things that can be jumped on such as this rather than letting them slide. Does my opinion on the usage of cocaine in this country really matter? Ofcourse not! But to dissect it as though ive claimed my opinion to be gospel is rather annoying. This isnt a once off, i read many threads and see his bullish behaviour over and over. So stuff it, of he is going to make a big deal out of one posters use of the english language and tell me my opinion is made up, well ill retaliate. If this was a once off id laugh it off, but he does it to everyone so often. Its a shame this forum has some interesting and entertaining tid bits, but as some have agreed sadly it also has the wrath of KR.

Could have all been avoided if 'most anon' had have condeded they messed up rather than doubling down and claiming his own personal experience justified the term. You weren't trolled, you were asked to provide any kind of proof for your claim and you couldn't. Well done you

That's all you have? A spelling error because of predictive text stuffing up? Jump all over that baby!

"me is smarter than us"

Exactly!

Hang on smarter than 'most' or 'many' of us? Need that clarified before my day can continue.

A lot of questions from someone who claims me is smarter than us... just Ignore his trolling.

LOL @ smarter... umm yer nah. He is just an anal retentive nitpicker with no life.

What should be done about it? Ban him because he doesn't agree with other people? Because he speaks differently? Because he's smarter then most/many of you?

Yeah agreed.

He is a troll but nothing has ever been done about it so this is what occurs. Same old, same old.

Oh boy... this thread though! Most or many... this is classic shit. KR is sitting back enjoying this right about now. Another round for the mystro of stirring the most shit with minimal effort. Well played odd sir.

Its a discussion site and the "most" anon came in saying "whats the big deal? Most people have tried coke." If he wants to add that sort of comment to a discussion, he should be expected to be called out on it. What is the point of having a conversation when people just make stuff up?

What? I, like many others, agree with "most" anon (not the definition of most) about kr's general behaviour on this forum -- it is a general bball site, not an academic journal. He tries to make everything about semantics that no one is interested in.

Yet you're still attacking KR when he wasn't in the wrong. Maybe you should stop living vicariously though other moronic anonymous bullies.

So?

The "most" anon isn't me (I'm the one who used vicarously)

most

1.
greatest in amount or degree.
"they've had the most success"
synonyms: nearly all, almost all, the greatest quantity/part/number, the majority, the bulk, the lion's share, the mass, the preponderance
"she spends most of her time in London"

Is this the captain who is low on demerit points?*

Makes perfect sense. Go check a dictionary then:

vicarious
[vahy-kair-ee-uh s, vi-]

2.
taking the place of another person or thing; acting or serving as a substitute.


The internet serves as a substitute for kr having a real life.

Including footage of the arrest!

"living vicariously through the interent and this forum"

That doesn't make any sense.

koberulz can you please go and get a life instead of living vicariously through the interent and this forum. As pointed out above no one cares for your semantics.

Well you did make something up...

I don't know why you feel his responses were so terrible, but when you had your input in to a discussion you just plucked bullshit out of thin air and think everyone else should be cool with that.

Nah I agreed the terminology could've been better and the first person to point that out instead of call me out for 'making shit up' got my thumbs up. And he can fuck off he is a pest doesn't matter the topic he has to have his wrath felt. It's odd, and it makes these long whinded back forths degenerate any thread. But he doesn't care about the threads etc it's about his control, not a one off time. Later.

If only you'd said "I happily retract my initial 'most' people comment and exchange it for 'many'.... back on topic" instead of telling koberulz to..

"fuck off im entitled to my option"

...then the discussion wouldn't have developed in to you doubling down on a completely incorrect statement which formed the entire premise of your argument.

Pop the point for me now it's it's just enjoyable when your words are going to be dissected to that extreme on a basketball forum. I write mostly from my phone for example hence spelling mistakes time to time, so to have to be so concerned with many or most to appease an passive aggressive antagonistic jerk who knows what's he's doing by making a point over nothing, it's a shame. Something very odd that one out west.

KR the Mattic of Hoops.

Yeah you're probably right not that it should've been such a long whinded issue but I happily retract my initial 'most' people comment and exchange it for 'many'.... back on topic.

And the side issue could have been avoided if the original comment had been 'many people' rather than 'most'.

'Most people' clearly says more than half the population has done it, which in the case of this specific issue [coke use], the stats and my life experience would suggest is a nonsense.

'Many' would have [accurately] implied 'quite a few' and we wouldn't have had this side discussion, interesting though it has been.

I knew there was a reason we have a language with lots of different words!

And to the anon in bold, yeah that's the opinion I have aswell, it's everywhere, stats aside for better or worse it is very easy to get your hands on. That was my initially what my comments where leading towards until koberulz ruined the mild comments I was adding to the topic. Careful he's coming after your reply next.

Cavalo, THANKYOU! Someone else sees it like I do, koberulz you take this forum life too seriously and your turning ALOT of decent forum posters away because you dissect every comment like it's a university essay we are writing for you! Go crawl under a rock, dissect that.

give it up koberulz, you're making yourself look like a self-righteous douche....

I don't come on an internet basketball forum for empirical studies that have been peer reviewed for information. I come on here for opinions and news that can come from any source for some light reading, banter and fun.

If you're that keen to peer review everyone's comments and opinions, maybe you could ask Isaac for double blind, random controlled trials as the minimum standard before any data or information is presented for this hard-core academic community that basketball lovers come to known as Hoops?

Damian Keogh should be praised for his deep investigative work into the drug culture and issues within Cronulla. Some senior leaders just put out a press release and wash their hands of the issue.

Damian drew a line in the sand and found out what all the fuss was about.

Getting drugs off the street may have also been his motivation making it harder for the players to obtain the drug.

Went to a footballers house party once during the off season.
He told everybody Charlie would be coming around at 230am. I thought why would a guy rock up to a party so late. wasn't a guy named Charlie.

I was merely adding to the discussion from an individuals point of view based on life experience.

I was merely adding to the discussion from an individuals point of view based on life experience. I'm almost surprised at how important my opinions are on here haha the amount of stuff that get written on here and I'm lucky enough to have my stuff dissected. It could be said that it's common sense not take every individuals comments on a forum as overall gospel. Common sense people

Seriously, how silly do you have to be to think that your own personal "findings" on this subject, with a sample size likely measuring in the dozens, must extrapolate out to 24 million people.
I totally get that in certain circles it may well be "most" people. But those circles don't represent the majority of Australians. There are plenty of other circles where the percentages would be pretty much zero.
If you're going to try to dispute the results of an actual study, you've gotta do better than "yeah well I know some exceptions".
Come on. Common sense, people.

Annnnnd I'm done... you just keep going to it's not even interesting anymore. Be proud of yourself pumpkin

the majority of people I have interacted with

I'm in the 25-35 age bracket, the majority of people I have interacted with around 70% have at some stage in a recreational setting tried been around coke. For me as an individual with an individual opinion this coke theme is most people and although it's not for me, it's not as bigger deal as some harder drugs, again in my personal opinion. That's not made up, your not calling me out on shit your just a Internet pest, and sometimes I have time to bite back. You don't get the right to tell me what I think or have an opinion on. Ok pumpkin.

Most people have
