Idiot Of The Month Award - Nominations for May

Usual rules apply:

Each member only has one nomination.

The nominations thread will be open until midnight on May 31.

Everybody who is nominated at this point will go into a poll to determine the overall idiot of the month with the person accumulating the most votes in the poll claiming the title.

So, go ahead with nominations on this thread and please give a reason for your nomination.

i nominate appendage for his stupid comment on the ireland serbia thread where he talks about munster buying foriegn players and this had led to munster losing there appealā€¦he makes a comment that there is only a handful left over from 2000 still thereā€¦

very miss guided when you consider horan hayes sheahan wallace quinlan foley o gara stringer kelly horgan mick o driscoll and a callaghan are all there since before thatā€¦thats 1ā€¦more than a handful if you ask meā€¦could you name me any other team in any other code that still has 12 of the same players since 2000ā€¦id say you would be hard pushedā€¦

no point giving opinions on things you know fuck all aboutā€¦but what would you expect from ladyboysā€¦

Rocko gets my nomination:

ā€œSold my gaff there last week and havenā€™t bought a new one yet. So will be homeless in a couple of weeks which is shocking timing as thatā€™s when Iā€™m getting married so Iā€™ll have nowhere to live.ā€

Explains it all.

I nominate Puke for counting Quinlan twice in the above post

in fairness he was as good as two fellas last weekendā€¦

There are two people in particular on this forum that get up my wick, Appendage and Juhniallio (think I just dislike both of them), but I think Rockā€™s comment mentioned above by Pikeman is enough.

I nominate therock67.

What a waste of a nomination.

Going for someone whoā€™s already been nominated is plain daft and sums up the stupidity of Farmer.

Coincidentally enough, Iā€™m nominating him for this thread where he complains about the good weather we had earlier this month:

http://thefreekick.com/vbforum/showthread.php?t=10411&highlight=weather

I used to go mad when people would say that it was ā€˜too hotā€™ when we would have a spell of good weather. I mean we donā€™t get it very often so why on earth would you complain about it? Also these are the same people who would give out when it was raining saying that we never get any good weather and then give out when it comes.

In recent times however I find myself in quite a grumpy mood (even more grumpy than usual) when there is good weather. I donā€™t know why but I find myself sometimes longing for a drop in temperature. I think I like ā€˜the normā€™ and any movement away from it throws me out of sync and hence makes me grumpyā€¦

Any views?

Iā€™d like to propose a rule change where the winners of the previous monthā€™s IOTM award are automatically included in the IOTM poll the following month. Iā€™d hate to see someone lose their crown because they failed to make it through the qualification stages.

So you canā€™t nominate someone that has already been nominated? Have a look at last months nominations - people were nominating people who had already been nominated all the time. It is a case of people giving there view of who they thought the biggest idiot was irrespective of whether he was nominated beforeā€¦

What a loada bolloxā€¦

I agree with Rockā€™s proposal by the wayā€¦

Defending champions must be given the right to defend their crown!

I nominate Flano for getting barred from every strip club in Dublin

How does being barred from a strip club constitute being an idiot? Probably the best thing Iā€™ve ever done if truth be told.

I think people wasted their votes last month too Farmer but itā€™s the individualā€™s choice I accept. Personally, I donā€™t see the point in merely replicating a nomination but if you feel so strongly about it that you feel thatā€™s what you want to do then I think you should at least give examples of other people who were in the running and why. You mention Juhniallio and Appendage but donā€™t back it up with examples and thatā€™s something that should have been ingrained into you in Junior Cert English - you need quotes and examples to back up your point.

I remember something from Rock that made me say he should be nominated. It was at the start of the month though and Iā€™ve forgotten. Iā€™ll nominate him again.

Youā€™re not really supposed to grope them so I guess now youā€™ve learned the hard way

Super pun there - intended or not?

I didnā€™t grope her. I just licked her gee http://www.thefreekick.com/vbforum/images/icons/icon10.gif

Unintended unfortunately.

Although for admitting as much I suppose I deserve a nomination.

Thatā€™s my opinion - pity you donā€™t like it but thanks for the nomination.

Bit harsh by farmer though. Groundless.

By my reckoning Munster had 3 starters from the Northampton game in 2000 starting Cardiff on Saturday. Oā€™Gara, Hayes and Wallace - a big handful granted but considerably less than 12 as you have above.

By the way that final was attended by only 68,000 people, so Iā€™m guessing the band wagon musnā€™t have arrived in time for kick off.

But then again Iā€™d know fuck all about it.

I think Rock may have to do some technical work if the nominations keep pouring in.

At the moment the maximum amount of poll options is 10 but weā€™re well on the way to beating that I reckon.
