Thread: Tomic.

I DID watch the tennis a bit until the other Aussie dumbass had yet another hissy fit. I even wrote to TA. I believe there is an expectations by the people who pay good money to watch the elite in any sport perform should get what they pay for. If you are tired or bored or having a bad day and are not prepared to commit 100%, then stand aside and let the next player have a go.
They should have taken the lot off him and given it to the ball boys, at least they give their all.

Ah Mr. Pickles, just when we were starting to find some common ground.................

I'm surprised you would defend a lawless hoon.
When he first made the big boys' game BMW sponsored him and gave him a car. At the time, he was on his "P"s, the car was not "P" legal. Queensland Authorities gave him an exemption. He failed to show maturity or respect and got busted doing burn-outs on a public road.
Since then he's behaved like a spoilt brat who thinks he's 'entitled' and better than everyone else.
This culminated in his interview, where he sneered and swivelled in his chair in a most condescending manner.
As for honesty; when he admitted faking the injury, he was rubbing everyones' nose in his 'so what' attitude.
Would you forgive a bank robber or murderer, simply for admitting their crime?
Tomic needs a big dose of reality, Tennis Australia should dump him and give the spot to somebody who will appreciate the opportunity.

No worries it's all good V8!....I agree with what you say.
However, in the interview, Tomic was clearly not in a good place, I know all the stupid stuff He's done, but I can also remember on the very rare occasions He has played well (albeit a long time ago!}, how good He was.
I'm not making any excuses for him, his problems are of his own making, but to open up like He did, just shows where He's now at, so yes, I do feel sad for him, as I would for most (not his father) people who feel like this about themselves.

Well that's a bit of role reversal from both of us, eh Pickles?

Like I said it's all good,....how could I disagree with a username with "V8" in it lol!.
I, like you, will have my say, and it doesn't worry me if people disagree with me. The main thing is, is to have one's say, in a decent manner, and stand up for what you believe in, no matter how many disagree with you.
Been watching the V8s all afternoon, just about to have some pasta, so all is good. (and Collingwood got beaten again,...which makes my afternoon doubly good! )

Tomic is a ****. Spoilt rich kid - no sympathy from me, he should be dumped - full stop. He's a disgrace to the sport.
