And while I have been full of praise for his performances in the last month, if I was to turn around and say that he is a great buy and I'm thrilled to have him here I would not only be indulging in a kneejerk and reactionary statement, I would be telling a lie. I am happy to come on here (and have done several times) and say that he is playing exceptionally well "at the moment". For me at least, that is very different to being a success.
And FWIW, I don't really care what your opinions were on Ireland or Shinawatra, it was just the way you felt at the time. I also don't feel the need to hunt down every person who has ever posted something I disagree with, whether they have tearfully apologised or not.
