I have turned into a cranky bastard since Boz told me my haikus were not wanted around these parts. They used to keep me calm and centredQuote:

it's actually a really decent game in the hockey - well decent in the sense that it could go either way
me, I'm not into sporting drama, as with all sports, I'd rather the team I support go 1,000-0 up after a minute then spend the rest of the game preventing the other team from getting the ball
As usual I see hockey every 4 years like most others but when did the wearing of cricket gloves to defend penalty corners start?
Bit of afters in the Hockey. Pommies would love to see Aussies and Argies belting the tripe out of each other.
Did they punch on, or use their sticks?

nothing has changed for the defender in the same period, really. (skip might be able answer this? has it?)
having been on the end of a certain foz member's mentally deranged brother's strikes and flicks as a goalkeeper (and this was 3 years ago) you have to have some nads to get in front of the ball these days sans cricket glove/face mask
