After all, he is not part of the RCCC and is an employee of The Scottish Institute of Sport (SIS) and has the official title of National Coach for the Olympics.

He appears to have caused considerable torment to several of our honourable members is pursuit of his own aims. As, just in the same way as he made conflicting statements to the Canadian Press at the time of the Vernon Denouement, he has once again rephrased his earlier statement to the effect that that was not what he said.

There may be younger members of the Forum that are unaware of what the Term "being sent to Coventry" means:

Wikipedia says, and this fits with what I understood, that it is an old Army way of showing disapproval. This is taken from Grose's The Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue published in 1811, as the then understood meaning of the term.

"To send one to Coventry; a punishment inflicted by officers of the army on such of their brethren as are testy, or have been guilty of improper behaviour, not worthy the cognisance of a court martial. The person sent to Coventry is considered as absent; no one must speak to or answer any question he asks, except relative to duty, under penalty of being also sent to the same place. On a proper submission, the penitent is recalled, and welcomed by the mess, as just returned from a journey to Coventry."

As you can see, it not only defines what happens but how reparation may be made.

All we need to do is to ignore him ~ Totally ~ As though he wasn't there. Except, of course, to allow him to carry out of his role as National Coach for the Olympics.

Perhaps this is a little extreme, but how else can we show our disapproval of his behaviour.
