In any case, no point arguing over it, I wont change your mind(s) and you wont change mind. If the club were to poach him, which I doubt he'd move personally, only thing that you, EB, Capcom et al can do is stop supporting the Blues in protest I suppose.Diesel and Rhys beat up on each other more often than not and on other similar types...ie Denham, Banks.....like for like types.
Balme was a coward, he attacked the ball playing gentleman that was Geoff Southby who never beat up on anyone but himself mentally...he never recovered from that attack and was never the same player. The low life Balme never even had the decency to apologize unlike Southby who had good things to say about Balmes contribution to the game.
There was a story that Percy Jones invited Balme to a lunch as a guest speaker at his pub I presume.....he invited Geoff Southby who I think politely declined, Percy also invited David McKay another victim of Balmes handy work and one of Southbys best mates....Swan declined as well but was reported as saying along the lines to Perc... I wont be coming but when you see Balme you can go and tell him to get fecked.
