beneath my dignity



Armchair critics,

People have been asking me why one of my footy blogs hasn't appeared on the subject of Balmain coach Jason "Squeak" Taylor's gob-smackingly appalling treatment of one of the true legends and ornaments of the game and the second-last survivor of the "Magnificent Thirteen" who won the Premiership in '05 - Robbie Farah, aka The Best Leb in The Game - who, it goes without saying, is a scholar and a gentleman beyond reproach.
While folk are well aware that my position on the imbroglio is abundantly clear, they are saying they would like me to explore the issue further employing some of my trademark colourful language.
Decided that to write such a blog post regarding JT would be beneath my dignity, and there is also the fear that if my opinion was put into the public domain, there is the possibilty of being hauled before the Defamation Division of the Supreme Court of New South Wales where my senior counsel would be asked to explain to the court the precise legal definition of my reference to Mr Taylor using the phrase "a two-faced, lilly-livered, 24-carat, card-carrying-cunt", under the Common Law.
Trust you will accept my explanation.
