When I was in Holland in 1974 I remember there was a soccer match there between a Dutch team and the Tottenham Hotspurs, anyway, the organisers didn't seperate the supporters, and from the moment the crowd arrived it was on.

From memory, at least one supporter was killed, and the pictures on the news and in the papers were graphic, bodies everywhere, people covered in blood, incredible!

Now back to polishing my Triumph............. (singing to myself, "Rule, Brittania, marmalade and Jam........")

Yup, it looks as if aussie sports is on the decline. Nice to see their rugger team catch a hammering.

I'm loving a fun row, and for once I have no dog in the fight!

Gday mate, we are going through a rebuilding phase with a few of our sports at the moment, underestimate us at your peril.....

I know it's only early in the first innings, but I'm reminded of a famous English poem that goes, "Come into my parlour, said the spider to the fly.................."

I think the first test is looking pretty good so far. (for Oz..........)

Hmmmm...seems the Poms in this thread have gone a little quiet Terry.....?

It's all right for you lot - 23:30 start last night and woke up again at 06:00 for the last 45 minutes.

Steve
It looks like your boys are staging a good fight back.
Might not have time to go to bed now.

I've decided that both teams are very similar, they're both shiit.

rhos1355 · « **Reply #364 on:** November 29, 2010, 03:48:46 AM »

Tel, just noticed your little quotation from His Roight Dishonourable Moik o'Leary. Don't like the fella myself but he's spot on with that one.

mick7504 · « **Reply #365 on:** November 29, 2010, 04:41:22 PM »

It looks like the Aussies have done a terrific job of letting that innings go from Ashes to Dust.

Did you hear about that Canadian woman who has a twitter account @theashes?

Apparently her boyfriend gave her that nickname "The Ashes" - but neither of them can remember why (?)

Now she's selling t-shirts saying "I'm not a freaking cricket match"

How quaint...

I think that I've found a solution for Ms Kerekes' Ashes dilemma Steve.

If she took up the offer of the free airline ticket to Aust,
I'm sure that there would be a willing helper to show her the meaning of "Bowling a Maiden Over"

That would be ok as long as you weren't banging in a "short" one.....

Don't know if you've heard this before mate.

"Long 'n Thin goes too far in but Short 'n Thick will do the trick"

OOoops

Nice and long and full and thick has got to be better than a little dick.....

Your bringing out my poetic side mate.....

I caught the first three overs last night and the last three overs this morning.

We needed that after the FIFA debacle - you guys got stiffed by those crooks too...

mick7504 · « **Reply #372 on:** December 04, 2010, 04:11:43 AM »

We copped the rough end of the pineapple with the FIFA decision and the Aussies are getting the same treatment in the second test match in Adelaide.

I'm not a natural tabloid supporter, but I think that Blatter is in for a difficult next few years...

I heard President Obama saying that the decision to give the 2022 world cup to Quattar over America was "wrong", which to me sounded like he was saying it was rigged.

Obviously money talks and the committee were presumably all given some pretty big bribes, but considering Qatar is a pisssant little dump in the desert with a population of around 1 million, (and it's not a "Soccer" country) with 120+ degree temps outside of the airconditioned stadiums that they have to build just for the event, I can't imagine that many people will actually attend?

Oh well, I couldn't care less, Australia's not a real big soccer country either, #$%*t, we can't even play cricket!
