ok im not going to get into a insult bash here.
i havent been on these forums for quite a while so i have been reading through various threads.
looks like a few people have been jumping on that ole bandwagon of bashing on paul. hey its your choice but heres a little tip my friends...
Im writing this fresh off a shalacking in the final of the vip classic. I thought i was half a chance until i played paul. the guy is unstoppable in hobart. You all dont like him running his mouth about how good he is. Well im sorry but until one of you lazy a**es steps up and actually beats him and beats him consistently then you have to listen to him talking himself up. its called bragging rights buddies. And yes he hasnt really performed in other centres in tasmania yet but theres only one guy that has been consistenly doing that over the years and thats pretty much ashley riley.

The way you have been bowling at Moonah in leagues apart from your once off high games you cant back your mouth up. From a bad back when bowling bad to a chipped bone in the foot apparently, really you aint that good mate
umm dude, i think pauls has just made you look like a pin head. For what i can recall hes just been congratulated on back to back 700 series with the higher of the two being a 798 for three. correct me if im wrong but you need pretty much 3 high games in the series to shoot that. And he just destroyed the field in the VIP classic so i think that pretty much looks like backing his mouth up. But hey, you obviously know what you're talking about.
ok thats enough about that.
one last thing before i go.
one thing i really noticed was the lack of cheering for paul in the tournament and for me too i guess. i mean i can kinda understand not wanting to cheer for paul since he has been caning the opposition lately and running his mouth a bit about how good he is. but i hardly had support against my opponents. only from alan coleman (who had me in the calcutta so that doesnt count lol) and a few of the juniors around the place. (thanks to the ppl who supported me!)
it actually was quite funny when both paul and i made the final of the vip classic. i think the crowd didnt want to cheer for anyone! haha so they gave us each a gentlemens clap after each strike. it was quite proper! lol
i havent been bowling for two or so years now so i couldnt have done anything to upset anyone i dont think.....
the only thing i can think of is the fact i had the name 'Lucock' on my back. For some reason if someone doesnt like paul, they tend to not like me either which is dissapointing. try to remember i am a different person and not controlled by whatever paul does.
i mean i dont really care about it that much but what im trying to say is, we need to support our bowlers more if we are to bring home the trophy in rachuig next year at moonah. I am passionate about doing it for tassie but if some of the people arent going to show at least a little respect then why is it worth it?
ok, i know ive probably sounded like a crybaby there its its just been playing on my mind a little bit over the years.... if anyone has opinions on this then id like to hear them. If you want to talk trash to me, just remember i AM capable of returning it. Maybe to some of the more repsected bowlers, not to the germs such as boris and weed.. i mean... everyone know who paul is but... who are you? what have you done?
