melbourne cup

November 6th 2006 22:51
well it's that time of the year when every tom, dick and harriet (see that one was for the ladies, I know which side my bread is buttered) to become an expert tipster that being melbourne cup day.
Now I'm not a great tipster but I will have a go.
I like to bet each way because thats the way my horses generally run, the other way.
Well here are my tips for the cup, there will be many pissed people there, male and female, a shitload of would be if they could be's, a few peolple who know what their talking about and me, the mug tipster, oh and have a bet on number 6, it will win for sure.

Put your house on it, especially if it is a rental.
Happy racing...

THE HAKA

October 16th 2006 00:48


So the rugby tri nations began on the weekend, much to the delight of myself.
Apparently the kiwis got a bit a bit upset because big Willie mason swore at them during the haka, now everyone is denying this except big willies beauty of a blackeye courtesy of Dave kidwell.
Now I don't know if big Willie dissed the kiwis or not but I know if I was confronted by a dozen or so humongous, cranky, sweaty kiwi athletes screaming the haka at me then I reckon no I can positively say I would swear as well.

Something along the lines of "get #ucked, these kiwi #unts are going to #ucking kill us, let's #uck off out of here"
Maybe that's what big Willie said under his breath because the haka is a fearsome war cry that really pumps up a sporting contest.
This incident has certainly pumped up the series and I say bring it on, Willie and Dave kidwell will lock horns again on aussie home turf soon and I hope it fills the stadium.
I'll be in the crowd yelling out my sheepshagging jokes, let the games begin.
I love it when we play the kiwis; we put #hit on them on the field and then get on the lagers with them after the game.
Maybe the poms need a haka to fire up their team, it would have something about cups of tea and warm beer in their.
It's going to be a big summer of sport, rock on...

grand finals

September 25th 2006 03:22
Well It is my favourite week of the whole year. That's right the last week of peace before the kids tear apart my house for the school holidays, only joking, it is both footy codes grand finals.
If you have been living under a rock which would be mighty uncomfortable when you think about it all out of town teams will contest the afl and rugby league grand finals.
It is that time of the year when we choose a new team to go for because our team was so disapointing and some of us even pretend we have barracked for this new team all our lives.
It is that time of year when we decorate our houses in streamers, posters and some of us even do the extreme makeover of painting the old fibro shack in the team colours.
Yes that time of the year when if you lose the remote control it is the end of the world and when you do find it you put in a small leash and have a bullet belt of batteries around your waste just in case.
That time of the year when it is appropriate to go to the bottle shop with a shopping trolley.
That special time of the year when the local clown is flat out doing team footy colours face paint.
And at the end of it all, we see grown men cry.
Jeez I love my footy.Cheers

sports mad

September 19th 2006 02:52
It is finals time in both AFL and rugby league and the paper journos are beating up a big interstate war, that is there are no victorian teams in the AFL and headlines in the rugby league world of border patrol and send the storm and broncos back to where they came from.
Sure this just for people to get interested and just a bit of publicity but what if it was for real, as a new south welshman we could give these teams a test like the new proposed immigration test, make them drink our beer, actually quite a lot just before the game.
It says in the daily telegraph that the dragons hate the storm because storm winger Matt King gave the dragons fans the bird at their home ground

weekend no sport

September 18th 2006 00:38
what a thumping, thrashing, shellacking call it what you will the newcastle knights copped on the weekend. After losing two important players in danny buderus and steve simpson no one expected the 50 to 6 massacre.
I love the great sense of humour of andrew johns though, when asked by a reporter when did you think the game got away from you, he replied at about 50, try 10 or 20 before that joey.
On another story I struggled yesterday afternoon with no rugby league match on the telly, There I was with my comfortable pants on, my belt undone, some greasy chicken and a 6 pack of beer without my fave game to watch, come on nrl thousands of chubby blokes drank beer for no apparant reason yesterday, bring on the cricket

mud sport

September 11th 2006 09:32
It was great to see some sport in the wet on the weekend, especially in sydney.
Although with the brilliant and state of art drainage on grounds these days it hardly seems as if it had been raining except for some slipping and sliding.
I rememeber many years ago when we had a big downfall sometimes the footy would be postponed or cancelled but with the corporate dollar these days the ground would have to be struck by lightning to be called off

tennis love match

September 6th 2006 04:06
well apparantly tennis stars Maria Sharapova and Andy Roddick are an item but as usual they are denying it, they are just tour buddies.
They might be but they mightn't be, fair enough I suppose.
If it isn't true then how do these rumours begin, they are seen a lot near tennis courts together, duh, they are tennis players

sports fans

September 4th 2006 03:08

So for the first time in afl history the top four finalists and probably favourites for the flag are not from Victoria, this will probably upset the mexicans south of the border who still believe it is a victorian game.
Now I am not a huge fan of the game but I am an aussie bloke who loves sport and I think this is awesome for the game and also great to see featured in my number one game, rugby league have finalists from three states

andre agassi

September 2nd 2006 04:45

What a delight it is to see the mighty andre agassi going so well in his final tournament in the good old usa.
He has been a great ambassador for the game, not only for his brilliant tennis and superb sportmanship but I have loved his flamboyance on the court particularly his ever changing hairstyle
