Tim Paine ***ting scandal, will resign

[Spikey]

Let me propose a theory.

Tim Paine had ceased to be useful to the higher ups and they wanted him out ASAP for whomever is being brought in to do their bidding. The ***ting is just a thing that they could use to push him out. We're it not for that they would have dug around for some other thing to shame him out of office with.

Just one tiny tiny tiny problem with this theory: Cricket Australia is probably not thrilled that, amongst other things, they now need to completely re-do their corporate branding 3 weeks out from prime time, and that all the key sponsors need to air-brush Tim Paine out of every single ad and promotion.

If they were gonna do Tim Paine, he would have been done in the dead of the winter.

I actually feel incredibly sorry for Tim Paine and his family.

Most of the moralising pricks condemning him would have plenty of skeletons in their closets just waiting to see the light of day.

Apparently his wife went through a lot even before this whole thing came out

The filter means I keep reading the title as 'Tim Paine Shitting Scandal' rather than '***ting' (commonality is the 's' at the start).

They've known about it for 4 years...if they wanted to pick their own time to expose Paine, they had plenty of chances. Although, to be fair, it's highly likely they're full of fat, useless ***** who are suckling on the corporate teat, so you can hardly blame them for leaving this sitting there until it exploded in their faces.

Fitting choice of words . . .

Tim Paine’s wife is hot AF

just goes to show the grass is always greener...

 

[Shri]

She must be the town bicycle...everyone's had a ride.

Oh and I wanted to call this **** out yesterday but forgot. What a disgusting asshole.

and that all the key sponsors need to air-brush Tim Paine out of every single ad and promotion.

Cricket 22 has been delayed by a week already to remove him from the cover and promos

 

[Spikey]

look, if cricket 22 was running with TPaine on the cover, they might need more than a week to fix the game

Why would you feel sorry for Tim Paine?

 

[stephen]

I still can't believe he busted out the tears and apologised for it. What a nonce. You shrug it off and say it was a mistake you made a few years ago and everyone involved has moved on.

Like literally nobody who actually watches cricket would give a **** and it might actually get some footy fans on board.

 

[Pup Clarke]

Yeah that was very striking. I'm not trying to downplay what he did (it's sleazy af and not how sportsman should conduct themselves imo) but no crime was committed. I don't think it's something which seriously brings the game into disrepute and his reaction seems ott

She is gorgeous

 

[Gnske]

The eye of the penis is always looking

 

[NZTailender]

Just read the chat leading up to and immediately after the DP. She sure wasn't acting as if the whole thing was unsolicited. Pretty dick move to do something like this when you are married but when she says 'I'm going to have naughty thoughts while watching you on tv" or something down the line, DP is definitely in the offing

Nope, text and images are two completely different things.

Yeah; the latter's like a thousand words. Saves a lot of texting.

The entire world now knows he's very moderately endowed

I think they're just adding a feature to career mode where you can send a dick pic to a staff member of a state cricket organisation.

 

[Burgey]

Jeez CTas has given CA a fair old spray this arvo. Made some fair points tbh.

Of course, I can't see any news of it on the CA website lol
