@mariner4life said in RWC: All Blacks v Canada (Pool :

perhaps, if you are in danger of going fucking blind from playing rugby, you should give it away?

or just wear some goggles.

Oops! It's a loop

@Tim said in Political Memes (memes only):

@booboo Just a funny picture of Chelsea Clinton.

We need an @Tim Meme only thread.

It will have to come with instructions 😁

@canes4life said in Foster signs 2 year extension:

The thing is, if we win the World Cup he will most likely be reinstated again. Ffs.

and so he should be.

Just watching Star Wars again

19 fucking 77

George Lucas. That's just fucked how you nailed that bitch.

There are fuck all movies that don't date but this fucker doesn't.

Boozed by the way

If we win this, all off-season I will be saying "we could have won the damn thing if Jacobsen wasn't injured..."

Remember all those years ago when we joked around about Foster becoming coach.

Oh how we laughed....

Some one must have hacked his account as BSG would always scoff and laugh at those who did grand exits. Must be someone else.

These huas read the fern!

three times in the past week, about a couple of hours after a conversation on these threads, suddenly an article would appear.

@Hooroo said in Drua v Crusaders:

dance plagiarism

Did he steal that dance from another coach?

What?

I generally like Canterbury but this last dance plagiarism bullshit around Robinson leave gives me the shits.

@No-Quarter said in Extreme Weather:

Heavy rain warning for tomorrow as well, I really hope that doesn't eventuate

Same!!! Yearling sales kick off tomorrow

It was weird having a lovely dinner out in Auckland last night with all that happening around.

Lucky we had Elton tickets for tonight not last night. It won’t husky surprise me if it is canned though.

@MajorRage said in Tennis:

That Andy Murray match was something else!

Far out. I was up at 5 am and thought I was watching a replay of his first match but realised scores were slightly different. Couldn’t believe it was live. Good sporting start to the day.

Comments after gold

AM “I have a big heart”

Interviewer “Well done, you have a big everything”

AM “My wife might not agree”

@dogmeat said in Halberg Awards:

subjective

There is a degree of subjectivity. Jockey has to obey the rules and ride fair, transgression of which is a judgement call.

But yeah, first across the line (generally) wins.

Same with all sports that have a referee or umpire

We should only recognise athletes for these awards that partly aim to get people into the sport.

OK

Cool award

@Stargazer said in Halberg Awards:

Oh c'mon, in horse racing it's the horse that should be nominated, not the jockey!

Split second decision making is the difference between an OK jockey and a great jockey, and JMac makes the right call 98% of the time. Plus, put simply, horses run for some jockeys more than others.

Fucking Amen.

You’d be fucking ignorant to suggest otherwise

@mariner4life said in EPL 2021 / 2022:

@KiwiPie brutal league

7 months ago Moyes was lauded for getting West Ham in to Europe by finishing 7th with 56 points

Now he's probably next out the door with almost as many losses as last season already after only 18 games

Surely Fat Frank is next though. And with him the practice of parachuting famous retired players in to managerial roles in top levels. Lampard and Stevie G have been fucking terrible. Just "knowing the game" is not enough

Surely Potter needs to win his next home game.

Arteta the best of the “I’m a recent-ish player and now manager” brigade??

Come
OnAussie!!!!!
