Graham Watson: Keeper of Omerta

[redtreviso]

Ligget could have had an impact if in 96 he had said "wtf? is this?"

 

[Moose McKnuckles]

How does one end up like Flicker and Polish tossing Graham Watson's salad?

Watson's a sad turd.

Flicker thinks he's Lance.

Polish thinks he's channeling Lance.

Both are _______________ (fill in the blank).

 

[JMBeaushrimp]

I think Polish lost the plot...

I am sorry if you do not understand cycling, life, and the real world Moose.

But then a bird is a lot quicker than a rumnivore. Also I realize that many on this site came from running and have the idea that cycling is a track event which obviously it is not. To share I was at the 68 Olympics watching track and rode at races with LeMond. Obviously I was not in their catagory although I appreciate their potential.

Here it is.

It's a sad lesson, but one Graham has seemed to have learned well - "Don't s*** where you eat, my friends."

The problem is that the sport is now so filled with feces you have to pick through it to find the actual food.

Sorry for such a wretched analogy, but considering the shame and mockery the sport has endured, and continues to endure, for people like Graham and those who continually enforce the omerta to live such a lie and hide the ugly truth does nothing but continue to degrade the sport into further ridicule. And rightfully so.

 

[lancaster]

To be fair Lance has been much better at keeping his mouth shut lately. Maybe Graham should reconsider.

the only non omerta based reason for the comment

does any one remember how watson tried to start a rumour that astana riders were still going unpaid in 2010 ? we have a thread on that some place...

turns out, i read later bruyneel himself confirmed in de telegraaf, that he heard the salaries and all went smoothly after he left.

watson is an active screw in the armstrong machinery, a tool that has lost all integrity, imho. he's part of a small circle of his media confidants who have their orders dispatched at times when texas needs help, including spreading vicious roumour and slander.

 

[python]

Oh dear, not a good look for an administrator to be so openly biased. I am sure your comments will win you a few fans on here but you really should censure yourself. At least Susan is a little more circumspect in her public comments even though i am sure she is tempted to say how she feels. maybe if you want to post stuff like this you should consider stepping aside as a 'moderator' and then just go for it.

again, do you have a comment on topic, not your moralistic attacks on people who hold an opinion at odds with yours, in stead of their messages. if you don't like martin you need to use the appropriate route for complaining, tool.

Vicious rumour and slander?? Oh you mean sort of like you are doing right now towards Mr Watson.

"That he heard the salaries and all went smoothly after he left" What the hell is that supposed to mean?

Have any examples of the dispatched orders or is that comment a Python assumption???

Your mirror comment works both ways 'bro'. If this is an example of one of your more in depth posts, you have some way to go.

your baseless speculation never supported by anything and attacks on people have rendered your opinion a joke of this forum, brother. if this is your latest argument in support of fraud, you have just confirmed the void we've seen for along time between your ears.
'what the hell that's supposed to mean'

that means that you're illiterate, or blind, or too stupid to acknowledge either.

it's a direct quote from bruyneel, tool

I have no issue with comments at odds with mine. In fact I agree that Watson does himself no favours in allowing or putting stupid comments on his site.

I do have a slight issue with moderators expressing their biases in such a public fashion. Is that the role of a 'moderator'? I wouldn't have thought so.

Don't like martin? I never said that at all, thats just your imagination running loose again.

Keeping on topic? The topic was about Watson putting a dumb comment on his site relating to GL. Okay, we can all agree that was stupid. You however manage to take that way offline and tie it in to a whole range of unrelated crap that you don't even have any real proof of so don't start ranting about staying on topic.

again, if you have an issue with moderators you need to take it in the right place. go whine there.

as to my reaction to you, i said clearly in a post above that you lack elementary ability to read, that watson's lie was refuted by bryuneel and it's in the media.

How can you possibly link what I said to an argument about fraud??

Your irrationality is really becoming quite bizarre. Plus you really shouldn't continually resort to the personal attacks that you exhibit in your latest post, you just look silly...and a little bit psychotic.

 

[python]

your bizarre none sense attacking anything and everything that remotely offends your loverboy or his supporters is plain for all to see, tool

Yeah whatever mate, get back to smoking whatever you are on.

I have never once mentioned LA in this thread, but you always seem to bring him up, probably because you have secret fantasies about him. Given that i have already said that I agree that Watsons comment was stupid renders your childish responses redundant. I will resist responding to your infantile jibes that you seem to get excited about ending your posts with.

 

[python]

i can clearly see again how your assurances clash with the reality of your words. you should get back to attacking peoples avatars and handles. in in your usual blindness, you accuse me of something you are guilty off, fraud is not only your loverboy.

Your English is getting worse by the post and you are back to your usual talking but saying nothing. Fact: You are the only person in this thread who has mentioned fraud. Why? I have no idea given the topic is a guy posting unwise comments on his site.

You use the term 'loverboy' a little to regularly. Maybe you 'protesteth too much.'

In any event you are getting a little tiring so I will end this here.

this is your second promise to end but as usual the actions part with the words. now your fascinated with my english, in addition to my avatar and my handle ! congratulations, you have just broadened my opinion of you

you are the only person in this thread to make a connection of fraud to your loverboy. why ? i'll leave it up to others to decide, tool.

 

[ExRower]

Watson has resorted to kissing Pharmstrong *** because he has seen the beginning of the end of his career in Tim de Waele. Now that is talent.

 

[miloman]

Congratulations, we are all speechless.

All of these guys who have a profit motive in cycling (Watson, Liggett, Sherwen, Roll) have to some extent sold their souls to the money-machine that is Lance, Inc.
Sounds to me like Watson wades in the shallow end.
Whereas Bob Roll floats face-down in the deep end

It's not just them, have you read the latest in Cycling News? http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/contador-to-ride-criterium-despite-ban

Everyone in the industry seems willing to turn a blind eye so long as the money keeps rolling in. Pro Cycling is a sick patient. These guys are going to kill the "cash cow" and Contador wil have it served up for lunch.
