The Dolphins discussion

[Mr Fourex]

 

[Mr Fourex]

I'll tell you what, since it offends you so much, how about I compromise and start calling them "the DolPhins"

Are three extra letters too difficult.....?

The Dolphins........I can, like most other NRL fans .......understand what/who you're referring to

if you could continue to kindly stretch yourself
so far as to throw in those extra three letters........

Well.....

Well.....

sorry ... then it wouldn't be a compromise.

so, how do you think the Phins will do in their first year?

 

[Mr Fourex]

Who?

Even more glitcches?

rely???

 

[Mr Fourex]

sorry ... then it wouldn't be a compromise.

...and yes it would be.

A large percentage of The Dolphins fans identify with Redcliffe.

I'm not asking you to do that.

 

[Nashy]

So it is a BHQ glitch......?

and you are typing in "The" Dolphins

??

I notice you weren't using " " around The....before

Is this yet another BHQ glitch?

While BroncosHQ does have an automated word changy thingy, there is nothing set in there to change 'The Dolphins'. I had to check, because it seems like something I would do. I should have.

 

[Cult]

Jesus, of all the things for @Mr Fourex to finally be offended by on BHQ, nobody would have expected this to be it.

 

[Nashy]

We could do a vote for how we refer to them next year.

The
The Dolphins
Redcliffe Dolphins

 

[tommy]

that was to help emphasise it for you ... if you'd take a look, you'd realise i put the " " around Brisbane too.

I could have bolded The or increased the text size or maybe both to emphasise it if you would have preferred.

you're getting offended at the wrong people. I'm not the one who removed Redcliffe from their names.

Can we just refer to them as the dolphins or Redcliffe anyway? It‘s a pretty lame joke that has run it’s course and stopped being somewhat funny after a day or so. remember not everyone who reads the site is a member or as frequent user as some of us and they probably have no idea what the hell is actually being discussed. unless you are in on this totally hilarious joke then the conversation is just confusing. just seems like a low blow because a few people are seemingly offended by the fact they have been granted a licence at all, in our town. How dare they, They are just getting off the ground, thereks no need to ridicule every move they make, especially when we have obvious issues in our own club.

Pride comes before a fall.

this time next year they might just be ”the” best team in seq.

if you want to refer to them by the wrong name (Redcliffe) or their moniker (Dolphins) go right ahead

I don't know why people are so offended by joking about the Phins ...

no one complains about the boat/Storm jokes

or the sombrero/uncle Nick/Rooster jokes

hell, i haven't even seen anyone upset about people referring to their own team as "donkeys"

I wouldn’t describe myself as offended, it’s just that it could maybe be considered somewhat of a dad joke if dad had a stroke then had his head set on fire and became braindead. The comedic value disappears when it is repeated 5-10 times a day by the same 3 or 4 posters too.

on a lighter note I do have to say it fascinates me how you can find the tiniest thing to nitpick other clubs on yet anyone who dares criticises or “jokes” about the broncos methods will feel the full force of your wrath and denials and to hell with anyone who doesn’t automatically assume it’s another media beatup. I might crack a few jokes about you foordy but that’s only because I like and admire your resolve.

Anyway, wanna get a room? We can talk bronco stuff……

You’ve got it totally wrong @tommy mate, no one is having a go at The club, in fact I’d argue most would like to see it be successful as long as it isn’t at the expense of the Broncs, it is taking a stab at the NRL in a way we can to try and bring about the name change that should have happened at the start by calling them Redcliffe.

The NRL is at fault here, not the posters. Plus, if new fans on coming on here as you suggest and the first thread they are going to is about The, well are they on the right team forum?

Who cares what they fucking call themselves? They could call themselves the flamboyant man loving ball licking bisexuals and I wouldn’t give a ****. I would still watch them if they could play footy. but hey, let’s blame the nrl and contradict ourselves by saying that maybe people who want to support the dolphins in some way shouldn’t be on the forum but we will campaign for them to have their team’s name changed anyway.

Maybe people who constantly promote and encourage discussion about fucking afl and how much better it is than stupid old corrupt match-fixed nrl shouldn’t be on the forum either.

hypocrite much?

Good discussion.

 

[tommy]

Good discussion.

I’m glad it happened too. It really does highlight what small poppies some fans of our team have become when it comes to not only direct competition but our own team’s inability to remain relevant. Keep making “the” joke. Trust Me, it’s really, really funny and does not project any insecurities whatsoever.

Oh my word some lads have got their knickers in a knot.
