Yeah i decided to edit this post.

Um, I said some stuff I shouldn't have and realise i've made a dick out of myself in the process.

I'm sorry to anyone I've offended. I wasn't thinking clearly at the time and i realise what i wrote was plain stupid. I'm sure Madcatz have got their reasons for choosing Mathieu.

Again sorry all.

yeah ... no comment about the signing.

suppose everyone deserves a chance ... but yeah alot of guys missing out who will tear shit up oversea's.

That is a little rough don’t you think?

Coming from someone who themselves was given a chance on an international team without ever having seen international competition. Attacking a team manager that gave both Bryn and Jared a chance when they had never competed OS…

Not that Jared isn’t worthy, my point is that publicly attacking team managers isn’t going to benefit anyone’s career.

I think he was talking to Lindsay, and IMO he has a good point.

[lindsay]

Yeah i'm pretty sure Grant was referring to me. What i said was wrong and didn't prove anything. Plus the only person i hurt was myself. I don't think my reputation would be too good at the moment. I'm a smart one arn't I.

Good on ya for being able to apologise :)

yeah i see now that he meant lindsay noy me, sorry mate, just saw how u wrote what i quoted above and seeing as i got a go on the team without international competition, i straight away thought u meant me.
even though i misread it, it would have made it 100% clear straight away if u quoted what u were reponding to. but as i said...my bad.
