I didn't mean for my post to sound like I knew what was happening, just that I know how people posting the wrong thing on here can affect things.</div></div>
She had a kid playing football last year. Might have been a senior, maybe a junior, I dunno.
She has "photography" listed as a hobby on her profile, she was at this same game I was shooting, she's female, and implies she's from Pound (she's not though - her kid plays for Pound). That does kind of fit the description of me (minus the part where she's a mom to a player).
She had some very clear and not so happy opinions of the reffing at that game and she posted it all on the sports forum. That's ok. She's a mom and part of regular John Q. Public. She can do that.
Apparently though someone told the paper that IBAWILDCAT was me making those comments and it angered a number of people that I, a member of the media, would say such opinionated and negative things. I was given a good talking to over it all - the whole time a huge question mark was hanging over my head - I had no idea why I was getting the talking to.
Even though I finally figured it out and explained it, I think the coaching staff and maybe some of my higher ups are still under the impression it was me anyhow. It sucks to have that hanging over me because I want more sports assignments.
Re: I'm officially irked.
I know what you mean by that.
Re: I'm officially irked.
Everyone write to the paper and tell them to give me more sports assignments lol - football season's coming up soon!

Re: I'm officially irked.
It is sort of crazy how this stuff works. I have a feeling I am blackballed at PV because of this forum. Phil himself told me he didn't want to see me on here anymore or I would be costing myself games. I don't know for a fact that it has had any bearing, but I haven't worked a PV home game since he said that. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]
Re: I'm officially irked.
That has to be nothing but good news.
Re: I'm officially irked.
Generally just means one less close game a year though. I never minded working a PV game with Phil. Its sometimes quite comical to be honest.
He's just running the risk of getting a worse official if he blackballs me. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

Re: I'm officially irked.
This is the old timers forum, and it's information is supposed to be trusted amongst everybody. Are you kiddin me? Honestly, I know a handful of people from the forum. Any person who post anything "confidential" or "important" on here, and doesn't think somebody else will talk about it, or leak it, should take a reality check. Whatever you post on this board is fair game for any person to take and say it to whomever.
But I will back Elpn, and Neutral on their reasoning. If someone says you posted something, or are saying something, and it's not you... that's a little far fetched, and I will be burning a house too.. especially if it were to cost me a job.
But, any and everything on this board is fair game. If a person knows who you are on here, and they see something posted and repeat it, there is nothing anyone can do. Why post it on here then? you know it is a risk to be repeated.
If this board were to cost someone their job, that's silly. This is an online discussion board. Half the people on here, take on a "character" when they log in and post.

Yeah, but I don't care. If he blackballs me, he blackballs me. Its probably just coincidence that I haven't had a game at Bullitt since then. I don't hold a grudge.
