The canberra raiders acted like 2 year olds

[footypugs2011]

I'm sorry if i offend any raiders fans but those guys were rude, nasty and will forget about getting autos off them again. Some egos need a big pop and they would relise that been a high profile player means not treating people, fans, kids like crap.

Everyone is right about blake ferguson. The guy was rude when i asked nicely. Only had two cards for him to sign. He said to me rudely i'm only gotta sign right got it. I said thanks for your time and appreciate it and stil got the card and pen thrown back at me.

Few others just ignore me and kept walking. Shaun berrigan was hiding but i got him to sign just one.

All the others where just as bad. I'm sorry i know they dont have to sign but geez i walked away angry and disappointed. The raiders players should tAke a look at themselves and relise they are'nt going to be around forever. I did manage to get some signed but was treated like crap when i was really the only one around them.

Sorry to hear that.

I've never really had a problem with Raiders besides Ferguson and to a small extent Bronson. Its surprising that they were like that. Josh McCrone and Jarrad Croker are really nice guys. Tommy and Shillo also come to mind that are normally very obliging.

 

[footypugs2011]

Not sure what was going On tonight previous years shillo has been mu favourite player since he was at the roosters but he didnt come out at all. I didnt give them double ups just gave them what i had for my own PC collection. Will post up pic tomorrow morning after card show.

Is this the ozcardtrader forum, or the whinge coz footy players don't live up to your lofty expectations forum?

 

[footypugs2011]

Maybe we should have a winge section for us lol

I must agree with Blade. the 99% of players apart from the mentioned are really good and generally joke around with you. players like tommy, dane tilse and Croker will stand there and generally sign all the cards you have

imm not going to defend them but...... after hearing how fergurson is ( as discussed in previous threads by us all) i probably would have only handed him one card not 2 as u said u did( u know he is a uptight wnker) and as for shillo he has relatives in QLD so quite possibly he left with them and not withthe others on the bus. How was Furner did he sign for you

 

[sharkies4eva]

fairly poor form but these are the spoilt brats you have to deal with. and since when did signing a footy card come into the category of lofty expectations?

 

[jrinbulli]

I don't know what Fergusons problem is hey. Next time just hand him one it's a shame when players have more then one card a season you want signed but just have to get some one at a time. I said to him last week good game Fergo well done & he only made a little grunt sound. I didn't ask him for a sig just was being polite to him & he can't even be polite back & say thanks.

[#1 Eels fan]

The Eels players after the knights game were the same, when you think there is 10248 minutes in a week and we the fans of all ages ask for just 5 -10 of them, we spend 100's if not 1000's of dollars on tickets, gear etc and for us country people you can add the cost of travel and sometimes accommodation
so for the sake of 5 - 10 minutes you would think they would be happy to see the fans, and its not that they don't get anything out of that either there's the Shit loads of goodwill for starters and the strengthening of the fan base - the very people who are the ones who actually pay their salaries,
so as a fan i must have "lofty expectations" because i hope to meet the players for only 5 - 10 minutes of their 10248 minutes

Raiders got pumped last night. I'd prob be a bit moody too. BUT they could politely decline

Exactly. They were smashed by the Broncos, probably blasted by the coach, lost their best player to another injury, even had a player put on report for tackling his own team mate! I don't blame them for being a bit grumpy straight after that game. Just think how you feel after a loss. Times it by 10 and you probably get close to what a player would feel like straight after a loss like that. I'd actually be more upset seeing players in that situation all happy and cheery.

 

[shane_sharks]

far out i am sick of hearing about these sig pigs/IP signature hunters the players don't have to sign anything if they don't wish to deal with it

 

[footypugs2011]

Just to let you know it was before the game so really i could'nt work out why they were grumpy and rude. If i got told no i don't want to sign i would of said no worries and move on. But some of the comments were just plain rude.

If you have a beef with Ferguson drop him a line on twitter (or let's all ask him for a TTM) https://twitter.com/#!/fergyferg2

I think it should be up to the player to decide to sign or not sign - I saw Neville Costigan signing a stack of Dragons stuff on Friday night - people would have a go at him if he said no, but could you really blame him if he refused?

The Dragons have a member day on Sunday - they have said that only 2 items per member can get signed.

 

[jrinbulli]

Is the Dragons members day in Wollongong or syd? My friend is a member & I don't think she knows about it, well if she does she hasent been talking about it

 

[Trephinator]

In Kogarah on Sunday arvo.

 

[jrinbulli]

Cool thanks I'll let her know
