4 out of 7 FNQ Futsal Teams are National Champions (QLD)
Far North Queensland victorious at the AFA Nationals in Sydney
10 January, 2013
4 FNQ Futsal teams are coming home tomorrow as NATIONAL CHAMPIONS for their age group!
All 7 FNQ Futsal teams arrive tomorrow at Cairns Airport at 4:15pm flight 1421, but 4 of the teams are now the best in Australasia as they competed against teams from all over Australia and even NZ.
Our under 11 Boys took out the Grand Final in a very hard game against QLD City 1 goal to nil, the Under 12 Girls beat QLD Country 2 – 1 in a very close Game and the Under 13 Girls beat QLD City 3 – 2 in extra Time(golden goal), however the best was the very last Grand Final with the FNQ Under 15 boys defeating last years champions NSW South in the last 30 seconds of the game 2 goals to 1.
Both the 13 Girls and 15 boys went through undefeated truly showing how far FNQ Futsal has come over the last few years, now some of these players will get selected to represent Australia in future International Tournament and Tours.

In response to the last part of your post, I refer you to the memo from FFA:
“Dear Member Federation CEOs,
The Australian Futsal Association
On behalf of Football Federation of Australia (FFA), I advise that Australian Futsal Ltd of 1391 Beaudesert Road, Acacia Ridge QLD 4110 (AFA) t/as Australian Futsal Association is unaffiliated to Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA), the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and FFA.
As you may be aware, AFA is a commercial enterprise operating in Australia that runs its own futsal tournaments that are not sanctioned by FFA and organises, promotes and administers its own futsal teams that it designates as ‘National Teams’, which travel internationally to play under the AFA’s designation as an ‘Australian Teams’. These teams designated by AFA as ‘Australian Teams’ are not recognised as official Australian representative national teams by FIFA, AFC or FFA.”

Frank Rossi, I know that trying to undermine and demean the efforts of these children might inflate your own ego and feelings of masculinity but really it doesn’t reflect well upon your character.
I have no doubt some of these kids WILL go on to represent Australia in international in tournaments which, if not recognised by FIFA/FFA, then by the AMF (World FUTSAL Association).
Does it really irk you and your ilk so much that so many futsal players don’t really care whether they have the approval of some self-serving sports administrators and their marketers who don’t even seem capable enough to manage soccer competently, let alone claim sovereignty and control rights over the sport of futsal?
I suspect all of this is more about protecting the income streams the FFA is ripping out of futsal to try and prop up their miserable performances with soccer. Keep tugging your forelock to your FIFA/FFA masters though. I’m sure their lap-dogs will be well rewarded with table scraps.
Jan 11, 2013, 7:45 am
Good points PaulN but yet again some of this ‘Best in Australasia’ stuff is a bit OTT !!
Jan 11, 2013, 8:53 am
Agreed, Simon, but that’s just journalists doing what they do I guess – the good old beat up. What angers me more is when I see people trying to trample on the hopes and aspirations of children and young people in an attempt to score a cheap political point.
There is tremendous talent & potential amongst the kids out there in all comps. They ALL deserve to be applauded and encouraged, not used as host fodder or political footballs for a few self-serving leeches.
Anyone with half of a frontal lobe knows that futsal will not go anywhere until it is disconnected from soccer, recognised as a stand-alone sport and administered PROPERLY by futsal people whose sole and primary focus is the development of futsal. If anybody can put up a rational and objective counter-argument to that I am sure we would all love to hear it.
Jan 11, 2013, 9:14 am
Isn’t that what the AFA does already. Aside from the odd link into Football when it comes to training camps, they are all about Futsal.
They are sneaky in how they do certain things and lots of people seems to have a beef with them, but they are offering futsal as a stand-alone sport.
Jan 11, 2013, 10:06 am
Yes you are right there futsalfan, and if not the AFA itself then another solely futsal focussed association should be the governing body of the sport in Australia. Judging by their PR attacks on the AFA and others this whole idea terrifies the FFA who must only be seen as viewing futsal as a personal cash-cow.
Jan 11, 2013, 10:06 am
I don’t like the idea of undermine and demean the efforts of these children either. But likewise false praise that they are best in Australia does not help them in the long term.
A former Brazilian International told me that these touring teams leave a negative opinion about Australian futsal when they tour Brazil.
Jan 11, 2013, 10:19 am
The Brazilian coaches I know will tell you that they do not have a very high opinion of the Australian teams fielded by either FFA or AFA. The do so while graciously acknowledging that in the futsal world we are but babes in arms with a long way to go in developing the sport in this country. It also must be said they are not exactly shaking their boots when any of the Australian soccer teams visit either.
Jan 11, 2013, 10:45 am
Yes we are the minnows. But this players knew the difference between Vikings and FFA standards.
Jan 11, 2013, 10:54 am
Sounding very much like an FFA apologist there futsaldad. Maybe you can share this Brazilian coach’s name with me. I might know him and could ask him for myself.
Jan 11, 2013, 12:32 pm
Former Brazilian player, not a coach. Prefer not to name people without their permission.
Jan 11, 2013, 1:53 pm
Can’t say this was totally unexpected, futsaldad. Perhaps you could seek his permission to be identified? Otherwise these sorts of dramatic hearsay-based statements cannot be accepted by anyone as factual or true and should not be offered as such.
If this is only your opinion, that is fine, but you would lose all credibility if you were offering supporting evidence which is merely fabricated on the hop.
Jan 11, 2013, 4:47 pm
Why don’t you just call me a liar and be done with it!
Alternatively how about publish your email here and I will email you who said it, when they said it and where. Provided of course you agree to a public apology on this forum.
Jan 11, 2013, 5:29 pm
[email protected]
Jan 11, 2013, 6:31 pm
Email sent. I’ll wait for the apology.
Jan 11, 2013, 8:36 pm
I’m still waiting for the apology PaulN
Jan 11, 2013, 9:19 pm
Still waiting for your email. If you have sent it already can you resend it please. I will respond to it when it arrives.
Jan 11, 2013, 10:12 pm
Resent
Jan 11, 2013, 10:59 pm
Received and replied to. My apology will be forthcoming when the person you nominated has been contacted verifies what you have attributed to him.
Jan 11, 2013, 11:34 pm
Your doing a good job of coming across as a pedantic fool PaulN. Unfortunately it reduces any credibility you’ll have on any future comments you make.
futsaldad seems to have called your bluff successfully. he has a very good reputation on futsal4all as his comment history shows. he knows what hes talking about.
Jan 12, 2013, 10:09 am
Not really interested in your opinion of me, futsalfan. Nor do I care less about those of your ego-inflated mates. You remind me of puffer-fish trying to inflate themselves and gang-up to intimidate the other fish in the pond at Futsa4aFew.com
Anyway I am at Canberra airport about to trot-off and do something useful. Thanks for giving me some amusing diversions and practice on my new iPhone during these Nationals guys. See you again next year! Lol!
Jan 12, 2013, 11:26 am
PaulN, as I stated earlier I don’t like naming others in public forums, so I have sent a private email to you stating which Brasilian player made the comment. where it was made and when.
Now per your email to me you plan to contact a friend in Brazil who may know this player to try and validate the comment? Are you for real?
Right now here are my thoughts:
1. The agreement was for you to apologise to me if I named the source of the comment. You have not done this and it reflects poorly on you.
2. I am not happy that a friend of mine in Brazil who is a busy person will be dragged into a rather pathetic argument on the other side of the world. He will of course validate the statements that he made to both myself and my son.
Jan 13, 2013, 3:29 pm
Just not long off the plane and browsed this site, as I only really look at it once a year to follow the nationals – FFA, shock, horror!
Futsaldad, I have no idea where you dreamt up the idea I had agreed to some public apology to you just because you emailed me a name you allege belongs to a former Brazilian international player along with some vague date (“about 18 months ago”). Maybe you are used to having your great pronouncements accepted without question or qualification, but I like to verify facts before accepting them. Also, if you consider this a ” ..rather pathetic argument” one must wonder why the degree of outrage and demands for a public apology on this forum.
I won’t be replying to the posts of your boyfriends’ who are jumping to defend you, other than to generally state that I am neither in the AFA or FFA ‘camp’, although I have family involved in FFA competitions; I do not reside in Australia but love the game of futsal and do follow the European league; Apart from interest in my family’s involvement here, my interest Australian futsal/soccer is (like the rest of the world) minimal at best; and, any of my remarks about the quality of the administration of futsal/football in Australia is really only my own opinion based on peripheral knowledge gleaned from my involvement in international sports.
Anyway, I have enjoyed the my annual foray into Australian futsal and really had fun watching the fragile egos explode. Haven’t seen this many drop-kicks since playing Aussie Rules in the 1960′s. lol!
Apart from giving futsaldad’s apology when and if I can verify his claims I probably won’t bother to be back on this site until next January, when the kiddy-bashers start posting about the 2014 “Nationals”, so save your hate mail to me for then. Just keep talking amongst yourselves in the meantime :)
Jan 13, 2013, 5:18 pm
“Futsaldad, I have no idea where you dreamt up the idea I had agreed to some public apology ”
Let me connect the dots for you:
1. “Alternatively how about publish your email here and I will email you who said it, when they said it and where. Provided of course you agree to a public apology on this forum”
2. You posted your email.
3. I sent you an email with the details
4. Apology??
Jan 14, 2013, 4:17 pm
Apology? You really are an odd little man. However much you like semantics and enjoy playing join-the-dots, as I told you, I like to verify the facts before I make great announcements to the world, but because you seem so demanding, let me give you a response now:
Firstly, I cannot yet find anybody connected with ‘professional’ futsal in Brazil who actually knows or can recall your “Brazilian International” playing as such; nor any records of his international status.
Secondly, in relation to any ‘negative’ perceptions of ‘ lower standards’ of non-FFA affiliated by Brazilian professionals, the best indication I could get was the statement : “This is Brazil! Australia is too small. We don’t even think much about it so we don’t really know anything about their standards.” Basically, the big-boys couldn’t care less!
From everything I have found out it appears that you have either fabricated this to justify your own opinion or have been gullible and duped as to somebody’s credentials. Neither augers well for your credibility, but feel free to post any REAL ‘evidence’ to support your claims if you have it.
I’m not seeing any reason to apologise to you at all. In fact I am thinking that maybe it is you that might owe other forum users an apology for some of your pompous drivel. On re-reading some of my posts however I do need to apologise to FFA for being unreasonably harsh (through implication) on their other affiliated state bodies. In relation to futsal, I probably should have directed my comments more to FNSW for seemingly permitting so much influence to weilded by so few self-interested individuals.
Futsaldad, apart from you and your friends, most people don’t seem to want Australian Futsal controlled by, or for the benefit of, just a few of the self-appointed elites from suburban Sydney. I am pretty sure that most of Regional NSW and the rest of Australia would agree.
Jan 11, 2013, 2:18 pm
The “Australian Futsal Federation” AFF now that sounds right. there are ways of lobbing & working towards this through the right channels in FIFA.
Brazil, Spain etc. the top nations have done & achieved this. Its the only way!
Jan 11, 2013, 3:11 pm
A good idea, curious. I’m just a little pessimistic about the chances of getting any of the pigs currently there to pull their snouts out of the futsal feeding trough for the sake of the sport.
I suppose if you could get enough clubs and players to put aside false pride, juvenile egos and partisan politics long enough you might have a chance. If the posts to this forum are truly indicative of the futsal community the odds of succeeding are exceptionally long.
Jan 11, 2013, 3:55 pm
PaulN – you had a dig at futsaldad stating
You have made some pretty scathing comments yourself about “getting any of the pigs currently there to pull their snouts out of the futsal feeding trough” and “the FFA who must only be seen as viewing futsal as a personal cash-cow.”
Would you be able to name who these so called ‘pigs” are or what sort of dollars/benefits they are getting ? Do you have any actual $ figures of what FFA is ripping out of the sport ? Can you offer any supporting evidence to any of your claims ? As you pointed out – it would be nice to be able to ask these people myself and verify what you are saying is accurate.
To quote your own words – If this is only your opinion, that is fine, but you would lose all credibility if you were offering supporting evidence which is merely fabricated on the hop………..
Jan 11, 2013, 5:37 pm
It’s called metaphor , Phil, but if I hit a nerve and the cap fits! As for actual exact figures if you are able to get anybody to open their books and accounts to public scrutiny I’d be pleased to know exactly too.
Jan 11, 2013, 4:06 pm
I could not of said this better myself. Egos are inflated by putting talented kids down.
Where they play is no-one else’s business!
Jan 11, 2013, 5:20 pm
I agree with curious, leading futsal countries have designated futsal federations which is what we need. If it starts with 1 full timer and 3 part timers so be it.
At least then futsal can have its own goals, objectives, marketing, plans, fans, database, events, etx
The FFA are tied up getting football on track, the two sports can intertwine and relate but they need separate bodies in AUS the sooner the better.
Jan 11, 2013, 6:04 pm
Gentlemen,
I’m hardly surprised on your comments to me but you need to carefully read what I posted.
Firstly I do not mention the players and specifically address the last portion of the post ie the selection of Australian teams. Even more specifically I make no direct comment but rather reiterate the memo from FFA with regards to its stance to AFA. in fact the subject is : Australian Futsal Association.
Jan 11, 2013, 6:10 pm
So the fact that you just happened to cut and paste this after the story on the kids from FNQ was just an unfortunate coincidence then?
Jan 11, 2013, 7:06 pm
Dear PaulN,
It is what I said……no more and no less.
Jan 11, 2013, 9:27 pm
Not smart by half, Frank. Your intent was obvious to all. Do you really expect anyone to believe that the AFA needed to be told by you that they are not affiliated with the FFA? Feeble attempt…no more and no less.
Jan 12, 2013, 3:55 pm
It’s interesting that PaulN’s original posts were about how the game is more important and that we can all co-exist but each succeeding post has been a bitter swipe at the FFA. Just come out and say it – you’re in the AFA camp and you really don’t like the “opposition”. Somebody is making money out of futsal in Australia and it isn’t the FFA or the states. Could it be the owner/s of the private organisation that charges people to “represent” their country? And if you think there is no difference in the standard of futsal played then you really don’t know the game. What’s worse than putting talented kids down? Telling them they are better than they are so that they pay you money to travel overseas on false pretenses. If it was about the game there would be no AFA.
Jan 12, 2013, 5:14 pm
Well said Bigmaarn. Maybe PaulN missed my comment a few weeks ago. FFA gets $3.00 for junior players and $5.00 for senior players. Vikings charge a lot more than that.
Jan 12, 2013, 5:55 pm
Bigmaarn, the best lawyer in the country would not have been able to put it any better. Like I said before, let the private operators earn a living running the local comps and let the FFA and state associations run the rep stuff. If the rep stuff is run through an independent Futsal subcommittee both at state and national level all the better.
Sometimes people talk through their ar… arm pits. They quote the Brazilian and Spanish models without really knowing the full details.
In Spain, Futsal DOES come under the umbrella of the “Real Federacion Espanola de Futbol”, RFEF, or Royal Football Federation of Spain; the invitations from FIFA to take part in European or World competitions comes to the RFFS who then funnels them onto the “Comite Nacional de Futbol Sala” or futsal department, so to speak. This “Comite Nacional de Futbol Sala” is part of the Fotball Federaction and it coordinates all the state and regional futsal associations from elite to grass roots: players, coaches and referees. And guess what, your domestic coaching and refereeing accreditation comes from the RFEF, the football federation. Have a look at the refs badgesin the Spanish National League; and the crest on the Football and Futsal national teams shirts is the one and the same.
Brazil is slightly different, back in the 1970’s and 80’s the CBFS, Brazilian Confederation of Futbol de Salao (futsal) who ran the sort in Brazil and were associated to the then world body FIFUSA were not happy with the way FIFUSA where running the game so when they were approached by FIFA they decide to sever links with FIFUSA and throw their support behind FIFA. Why? I do not know. Was it a political decision? Of course! In short the sport in Brazil is administered by a Futsal Committee but, guess what, they are still linked to FIFA through the football body.
So to quote Spain and Brazil and say that they have an independent futsal association is not quite right.
I’m not here to defend the quality of the job FFA and the state associations are doing, but let’s put it all into perspective: ask any cricket lover and they will tell you that Cricket Australia are doing a lousy job, ask a swimming fan and they will tell you that the Swimming people don’t know what they are doing, ask any rugby lover and they will tell you the sport is dying, ask a rugby league fan and they will tell you the “good old days” were so much better…
“But Rob, we need futsal people running futsal”. Hang on, what makes someone a futsal person? Aren’t the great majority of futsal coaches, players and administrators also involved in football? Of course there are a lot of people who love and bleed for the sport, people who have spent their own money to keep clubs and comps going. But for the great majority futsal is a hobby, a nice hobby, but when push-comes-to-shove this sort of scenario crops up: “Sorry coach, I have outdoor training”… “my outdoor coach won’t let me play futsal”… “my dad spent $5000.00 in an football academy trip so I can’t afford $450.00 to play Premier or Super League this season”… “ She/he is a really good player, I think I’ll ask her/him to play football for me as well this winter”…
“But Rob, you just got a handful of free trips around the world the last 3 years from FFA”… True, but I also took leave without pay a couple of times, and this last 4-week trip to the World Cup ended up costing me my job, not to mention the fact that two and a half years ago I funded my own 4-week trip to Spain to learn from some of the best coaches in the world. I am not complaining about any of that: they were all decisions that I made because I wanted to. But don’t come to me talking about “futsal people” when players and coaches train one night a week at the most and play 14 games in a season.
Yes, it is an amateur sport, a minnow in the Australian sporting landscape, but it is up to us, the “futsal people”, to make sure that we promote it and give it our full support and grow it into a much larger sport than what it is now, because no one else will do it, otherwise we have no right to call ourselves “futsal people”.
Jan 12, 2013, 9:26 pm
Why cant there be two federations?
Jan 12, 2013, 9:29 pm
Are you serious?
I’m just recovering from Rob V’s Magna Carta and then this….
Jan 13, 2013, 12:54 pm
Have you found anything you disagree with in Rob V’s Magna Carta? I thought it was spot on !!
Jan 13, 2013, 8:21 am
Reading all these comments really tells the story about why Futsal is struggling in this country. Until Futsal, the sport, can unite as one then nobody is ever going to accept Futsal as a stand alone sport. Don’t get me wrong, I do believe that the Spanish or Brazilian model should be the ones we try to emulate as clearly they are the two best Futsal nations in the World! Therefore I feel it must have something to do with it. However as Futsal in Australia is so fragmented & continually competes against itself then I am confident the sport will continue to struggle in this country.
To finish I would just like to say well done to FNQ teams on their success & good luck to all their players who will receive a letter for selection. There is no doubt that if you are good enough to win a National Championship then you deserve the recognition.
I think all the people involved in the sport need to remember the enjoyment this sport brings. After all it’s why we got involved in the first place!
Jan 13, 2013, 10:35 am
Rob hit the nail on the head about everyone complaining about the administration of all sports and Gadget’s comments about uniting the sport are also spot on.
Everybody who has the best interest of the game and players CAN make this happen if they put their minds to it. But it will take time, money and effort on behalf of volunteers to do it.
Every forum you go to has keyboard jockeys moaning about how stupid everyone working for the sport is and how every decision they make is wrong. But do they get of the backsides and get involved? Have they paid for and done the Futsal Licence course so they can help coach the kids and understand why coaches do what they do? No. Do they serve on the committee for their club? No. Will they sacrifice their time and own money to coach at the Nationals? No. But give them anonymity and a keyboard and they know everything, have all the answers and can fix things in a jiffy if only the FFA, FNSW or whoever listened to their wise words of wisdom.
Here’s a way to transition our sport from a much loved amateur hobby to the level we all know it can go to – get off you arses and get stuck in. Volunteer your time and money like Rob, Mark, Gadget, futsaldad and the numerous other people who have done, and continue to do, the hard yards and hold clubs and competitions together. Get serious about making a difference. No excuses. If you can’t, or won’t, sit down, shut up stay away from your keyboards and just enjoy watching the game.
Deeds not words will make the difference.
Jan 13, 2013, 12:14 pm
Most of the so called volunteers only do it to help their children or mate’s children.
I question the motives of alot of volunteers. If they were truly interested in the sport, their maybe more fairness across the board.
Just my opinion but most of the volunteers I know do it with the expectation of a free ride for their daughter or son.
Jan 13, 2013, 12:56 pm
Maybe in your circles Charise. Most of Futsal’s progress in NSW has been more to do with dedicated club ‘volunteers’ as you may call them rather than the National or State Bodies.
Jan 13, 2013, 1:34 pm
I do agree with this to a point. There are some really well run clubs who do care out there. Alot of them though have so called volunteers who bring in the best teams to win. Nothing to do with developing players. Just stacking strong teams to win. This is counter productive to producing and developing the sport.
Biggest kids usually win games. However their talent usually drops off and the more skillful, smaller players come through as they get taller and stronger.
One premier league club is seen to develop players but you have to be in “their click” to join. Otherwise they treat you as nothing even if you are talented. My opinion only.
Jan 13, 2013, 2:29 pm
all well & said your information is valid in brief, however does not offer any solutions.
yes its correct Spain & brasil’s futsal bodies run separate to football however maintain a close working relationship with Royal Spanish Football Federation & cfb under the fifa banner & that’s great.
ok lets take the 7 time futsal world cup champions for instance, as there is no better.
Brasil’s futsal federation have their own identity, logo, offices, budget, marketing & a ceo equivalent, with a team that specialize in futsal. How can anybody argue with that? of course it works cfb don’t have the overhead of running it, nor do they have to bring in ceo’s & specialists & pay them.
compare that to us, no visible specific futsal department in ffa or within ffa’s state federations. No budget, laughable marketing & certainly no futsal ceo with a team, perhaps not even futsal people, whatever that means to you?
Within our current chaotic structure all we have is perceived rival organizations that at snail’s pace push the other along. It is slowly improving the quality of play since the dark ages, but not quick enough to keep up with the power houses of futsal.
Mediocrity is unacceptable you talk about how everyone complains about their sport, yeh we know, however you mentioned sports that are mainstream & are now enjoying their time in the sun. All have had their revolution in the past 150 years it didn’t just happen!
it is important for private organization to work with association futsal, the james hardy futsal league produced some of the best players at the time, epl is the prime example.
No one with the right intentions should feel threatened, its how the modern world works, governments privatize programs that are considered incapable of efficiently managing.
an Australian Futsal Federation & state futsal federations with the possibility of outsourcing local programs & leagues is the only modern solution that can close the gap from us & the powerful futsal nations.
We don’t have to follow, we need to lead! This is Australia – one of the most modern civilizations in the world.
Now ask the best lawyers in Australia to put it better then that!
Jan 13, 2013, 5:56 pm
“One premier league club is seen to develop players but you have to be in “their click” to join. Otherwise they treat you as nothing even if you are talented. My opinion only.”
Care to name the club?
Jan 13, 2013, 8:11 pm
Rob, I won’t. Simply because I do respect that club and they do a hell of a lot for the sport. I am sure you know who I am talking about.
Just wished it was easier to get in. Especially in an open trial. It’s a complement to the club.
Jan 14, 2013, 5:50 pm
@PaulN,
Let me summaries what you have accused me of:
1. Fabricating the Brasilian player Rodrigo De Oliveira Perpétuo aka Digo and that he doesn’t exist and/or never played for Brasil
2. Being duped and gullible
3. Lack of credibility and being pompous
Digo is well known to many in the Australian futsal community including Jamie A (FNSW Head Coach), Scott Gilligan (NZ Coach), Daniel Fulton (Futsalroo and FFA Nationals MVP), Peter Spathis (Futsalroo keeper)…..to name just a few.
In fact I spoke with Scott Gilligan about Digo as recently as November while at the Futsal World Cup in Bangkok. Of course I could have been duped into thinking Scott was someone he wasn’t. …although the FIFA Suit did look pretty good on him…lol
Jan 14, 2013, 7:04 pm
I have known Digo, who lives in Belo Horizonte, for over 10 years. I have had the pleasure of having Digo stay at my place several times and he has reciprocated the favour. He used to play forMinas along superstar like Manoel Tobias and was part of theiir team that won the world club championship in the 90′s. He is also a Brazilian international having played for his country in the South American championship.
So PaulN, cut the crap: you are entitled to express your opinions, we live in a democracy and you are allowed to be wrong but do not go around slandering people because some of us who have been involved in the sport for nearly 30 are not that easy to fool.
Jan 14, 2013, 7:06 pm
Yes, I did, and now you can add name-dropping little twit to that too. You are still unable to produce one iota of tangible evidence to back up what you originally stated. If you can produce something relevant and verifiable just email it to me. You are just becoming boring to forum users and some of us have things to do in the real world with little time to waste online induldging your delusions of granduer!
Jan 14, 2013, 7:21 pm
Woohoo!!! First winner of the Futsal4all Super-tool award!!
Congratulations PaulN. You have represented stubborn idiots with pride. After being politely handed a nice big piece of ‘eat your words’ cake you have devoured it without chewing and happily added a second course of foot in mouth. May your appetite for embarrassing yourself continue to grow. You are very entertaining.
I actual feel embarrassed for you now, but please continue. This car crash makes for fun viewing.
