How long you been here?

Been sifting since 06' . Me and a mate (who got me onto the Shield Snorters part of the forum before it combined) started a Shield Snorters supporters club of dunedin had about 50 of us gardies would put on cheap pints and a bbq for us when ever games were on. Even chucked 2 buses that we filled to the brook in 06. They turned the ground mics off because the only people there were us and our chants weren't family friendly. Along the lines of 50 drunks chanting ' you fucked up you fucked up' ' Anton's got a recedder' at every lineoutand a few personal jabs for any otago players we knew in the team.
In all honesty I had massive exams in 07 and planned on sleeping in then watching the replay over breakfast before hitting the books. Ended up getting woken up by a flat mate kicking a hole in the wall another one crying and another one who had never even said a swear word around his GF before telling her to fuck off as he needed to be alone. I decided nothing good would ever come from watching that game as I was more into rugby then the majority of my flatmates.

May have told this story before but my mate couldn't make the game due to a new girl he was seeing. He stayed the night (happy days) and was about to up and leg it over to our place. When he said he was going to see the boys she told him it was her birthday and being a GC he couldn't ditch her.
She offered to cook kai and said they could watch it together. So he settled in to watch it in bed, while she cooked them up a feed and they had some quality time.
Fast forward to the end of the match. He was nearly in tears sitting at the end of the bed. She didn't get it at all, and obviously missed all the signals of emotional trauma, and asked him 'Well the games over now, what are we doing today?". I don't think he lost his shit but he did say something like "I've got to go sorry'.
Never saw her again.
What a bummer, not often you find a girl that will let you watch a game she isn't interested in, on her birthday, after some boom boom fun time AND cooks you breakfast.
Ha!! Murphy is a fucker!
