			<description><![CDATA[hey lads,

would like to know if any of you have needed to purchase football equipment, namely goalposts, corner-flags, nets and so on? i'm currently looking for smaller goalposts, 5.0m x 2.0m, preferably in aluminium or high-strength pvc [able to withstand senior competition].

is there a supplier in newcastle, perhaps sydney or regional nsw, where this sort of equipment is available? i'm currently struggling to find suitable, cost-effective football supplies.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cooranbong sex with cow investigation
10 Jun, 2010 04:00 AM
POLICE are investigating allegations that a man was caught having sex with a cow at Cooranbong.

A woman was reported to have seen an ‘‘elderly man with very white hair’’ approach the brown cow and grab its tail in a paddock off Crawford Road on Sunday afternoon.

She yelled out to the man, who zipped up his dark coloured pants and left in a red Holden Vectra.

As well as being described as elderly, the man was wearing a cream-coloured rain jacket and the pants. Lake Macquarie police are investigating.

			<description><![CDATA[(sorry if in the wrong section)

The always unbiased and intellectual Jeff Corbett has written us another brilliant article.

To not give him the privilage of more views to such dribble here it is:

The foolishness of Newcastle City Council's discussions about spending millions of dollars enticing World Cup games to Newcastle in 2018 or 2022 will be evident in the city's Wheeler Place from 4.30am on Monday. At that time about 1500 lairs and dandies are expected to gather to watch the diving that will be Australia's first 2010 World Cup match. It's to be on a big screen provided at ratepayers' expense, and it is beyond me why ratepayers should subsidise such a gathering of exhibitionists and nancy boys. Still, it may serve as a warning against spending any money to entice more of them to Newcastle at subsequent World Cups.
In my column in The Herald today I suggest that it may be worth calling into Wheeler Place after 4.30am simply to see the latest fashion accessories for simpering men and the histrionics that go hand in hand with soccer. It's man scarves, apparently, in plain, checks or knitted and in lambswool, baby alpacha and cashmere. Every man who fancies himself as only soccer fans can has the urge for a man scarf, and David McElwaine of Newcastle's Gentlemen's Outfitters tells me that bracelets and bangles are another hot item for men. Listen for the rattle as the prancing peacocks in Wheeler Place on Monday morning throw their scarf about like a stripper's feather boa. How long before they're carrying lapdogs and wearing heels?

I wonder if the big screen on Monday morning will show the SBS ad urging Australians to get over Fabio Grosso's dive in the final minutes of the match against Italy in 2006. Get over it, the voice says, it's just a part of soccer. Diving, cheating, screaming for your mother, thrashing about in unbearable agony is not part of soccer - it is soccer! Diving has a greater impact on the result of a game than any kicked ball.

Why should ratepayers' money go to a game for ponces, pansies and prancers when there's none for real men playing real football?


The comments are as rediculous as the article although he is quoted as saying:
Aah, Abundance, you don't go to a Jets game to watch the game. You go to listen to The Squadron.
