Jeterpool, once again, great stats! I love reading them every week!
So many good and bad memories... mainly bad hahahaha
3 games of league on the ground Saturday, expect the pitch to be shyte and covered in pagan markings.
well it can hardly get any worse
Didn't Tarek miss a penalty in Wellington a few years ago ?
Yeah he did because it made me cry
Cool. I must have missed it. I'll look into it. Thanks.
Edit - found it. Missed in match that Hearfield scored against us and Griff and Milligan got sent.
If ever someone remembers something in addition to, or differently to, something I post please let me know because I might have it wrong and I can double check.
They should take the games away from the stadium. They will ruin an already dodgy surface with league. It's not as if these league matches have any importance in regards to the season
Lets just set the record straight.
Whatever price Wellington are paying get on it.
We never beat those ****s and always lose
**** me. League is such a shit eater of a sport too. Pisses the **** outta me that they get to play this ****ing useless sport on our pitch and not do a thing to make it any better than the cow paddock it already is.
While I am ranting about the game they play when they can't understand rules or tactics, what the **** is with them calling this Sydney team vs some minority shits from the midlands a club WORLD cup. There is nothing world about it. Of course when you support dementia ball you can barely understand the meaning of the word world let along the amount of countries that make it up.
For ****s sake these bastards
Yeah that's a great expression which takes me back to 2005.
At the time Australia had an all conquering Cricket Team.
Ponting Gilchrist Hayden Langer Binger McGrath Warne etc We were on top of the world and Test series were a mere formality. Some bloke we won't mention any names but lets just say he thinks quite highly of Kale Bradbery spotted that Australia were paying $1.45 to win the 2005 Ashes series against an English Cricket team who had showed very little in the last 15 years.
This big fan of Kale Bradbery decided it would be worth his effort to head down to the building society and withdraw $1000 and put it on Australia to win the Ashes at the juicy odds of $1.45 figuring $450 profit was much better than leaving it with the Building Society for 2 months.
After the first test Australia won he assumed it would be a mere formality and a few more weeks before he would be reunited with his $1450. For some reason McGrath tripped on a ball in warm up for second test and was ruled out. Australia capitulated chasing 270 odd in that test with the last 2 wickets putting on a motza only to get given all out 2 runs short from a crook decision.(WHERE WAS THE ****ING DRS)
2 test later and it was all over this mad Kale Bradbery fan as he had done his ****ing dough with 1 test to ****ing play.
Really pissed him off when the same ****s 18 months later thumped the **** out of the Poms 5-0 in a canter
