How the fans can still be behind Jones (and I know not all are) is beyond belief. Pretty humbling to admit you have made a $2,250,000 mistake. And when you're Canada's team more so.

He won't be welcome at Mosiac either, not that we have to worry about him showing up there anyway. That is one of the most pathetic posts I have ever read.

But in the end it was a horrible call and the league issued an apology. Even under the use against the world dave ritchie era it was considered that we just didnt get respect and the benefit of the doubt. No one was calling it a conspiracy. You don't even have to go that far back. The league had to apologize last September when the refs screwed us against Calgary. It happens to every team at one point or another. The difference is that the rest of the league just moves on to the next game rather than act like little *******. The Classic, LimJahey, wbbfan and 1 other 4
rebusrankin Posted September 7, 2016 Report Posted September 7, 2016 My favourite is the lie that they drive the League. Biggest $$ is from the TV deal. TSN doesn't pay millions for a product that draws well in a province of 1.2 million and that doesn't draw in Ontario, BC and Alberta. The Classic 1

Ripper Posted September 7, 2016 Report Posted September 7, 2016 Do the Bombers have a dinner for their Ring of honor nominations? What's it called? Have any of you gone to it?

rebusrankin Posted September 7, 2016 Report Posted September 7, 2016 Seems to me that not acting like jerks can only help a team when it comes to dealing with the league or potential free agents. The Classic 1

Actually the worst i can recall is calgary with matt dunnigan as every thing when they did that on side punt, recovered it and the refs messed it up. then calgary released team video that clearly showed the guy on side by a mile. The PI none call wasnt any where near as bad as that stuff. It was par for the season tbh.
wbbfan Posted September 7, 2016 Report Posted September 7, 2016 I bet if it rains during the riders dinner it will be orridges fault too.

do or die Posted September 7, 2016 Author Report Posted September 7, 2016 Bottom line is that any fan, of any team in this league ....can go back into the memory bank....and recall a fair sampling of absolute egregious travesties of officiating. The deal is understanding it for what it is ...with perhaps a little whining, crying, or moaning into the mix ....as opposed to becoming totally paranoiac and deflective about it. A certain segment of Rider fans have chosen the latter path of denial..... frantically looking at the league hierarchy, or in their closets or under their beds. After all, it cannot be the Republic of Jones or any one else in the Rider brain trust, who is responsible. It simply has to be some mythical bogey men, planning some form of conspiracy or skullduggery....to drag down the proclaimed greatest franchise and fan base in the league. So goes that narrative. The Riders have a devoted and passionate fan base, who deserves all kinds of credit, for the way they support their team. But one wonders how embarrassed some of the more sane Riders fans are becoming.... listening to their brethren spewing out terms like rigged, dishonest, sham, crooked, etc....to explain their team's record. Anyone with half a brain, and who has watched officiating in the CFL, for any length of time, knows better than to mistake obvious incompetence for some sort of hidden agenda or conspiracy. Ripper and The Classic 2
Arnold_Palmer Posted September 7, 2016 Report Posted September 7, 2016 sigh* the riders forum. One poster seems to think they'll run the table and finish 9-9. Another poster thinks they'll beat us by two touchdowns in Winnipeg. 6 wins since September 2014 and still no humility. LimJahey, AtlanticRiderFan and The Classic 3
