Besmirch my arse,sandbag is generally used as a term for a very capable footballer playing below his standard for whatever reason.
Stop your carry on. Before you accuse me or besmirching peoples characters, take a look in your own backyard.
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones.
No one wants to besmirch your arse as you so eloquently put it. You used a derogatory term on an individual whose circumstances you know nothing about. I won't embarrass you by pointing out how inappropriate your statement is but I know for a fact that members of his family read these forums so I will leave it at that.
I'm not perfect but I can admit when I'm wrong and when I have made a major faux pas
If you really think sandbagger is a derogatory term, you are far too precious.
You've just been waiting for waiting for any opportunity to take a crack and now you've had it, I hope you feel better.
Now lets play on and discuss D2 please.
Oh dear. You simply don't get it. I'll dumb it down for you.
Sandbagger - not really offensive to throw at a team
Sandbagger - not offensive to throw at an individual who goes from 200 A grade games to Div 8Res
Naming an individual who you have little to no knowledge of who has played dozens of games in all grades over a 14 year career at one club. A bloke who faced issues that prevented him from playing, was long term injured, had family tragedy and was no longer playing footy. When you don't know someone's situation and label them a sandbagger yes it offensive.
Call the world sandbaggers, call the club sandbaggers but don't have a crack at an individual who doesn't need to hear that crap.
Ok I have made my point, I'm happy to move on.
