R11 vs Sydney FC | Sunday 21st Dec | 7:00pm | SS2

He's behind you!

He's - oh no he's gone now!

this thread is mostly sharke. Especially the last 2-3 pages. If you criticise me that's ageist so fark off

Was he ruled offside by a female assistant referee?

I've been really ageist towards Leggy then. Sorry Leggy.

.....then you are a man, my son........

Long off-season this

so we shlould never start any new chants purely on the basis that we've never done them before? It has to start somewhere. 

Man City only started doing the Poznan after seeing it in Europe (and making fun of it at the time) 

I think hearing west ham fans sing it on a preseason tour here, liking it and adopting it as something we sing is actually one of the better reasons to be chanting something. Better than "I heard this on tv/YouTube lets sing that" (which is also fine). 

Not sure how to reply to this, as I agree with your comment 
In defence of my post 
- I did say "my objection" 
- I then changed my opinion to a group statement about the Nix 
- I've let my dislike of a chant influence my comments

Therefore I'm sure you'll agree that the 'Durante' chant is inferior to 'Twist & Shout'  as it an obvious example of a chant originating from "I heard this on tv/YouTube lets sing that" (which is also fine) 

However, if you're going to object to a statement in my post at least object to what I stated, not part of it, otherwise you're no better than a Dompost sub-editor
  
exposes a huge gap in difference in age and musical tastes

How old do you think I am?

I dont mean to bring football discussion into this thread, but for the 2nd goal. Was roys touch/ leave for burns on purpose?? I've only watched 1 replay and i couldn't tell.

Before the minute of silence did they played the beginning of "Hells Bells"?

Thought Moss had an awesome game. I realise the MoM kind of has to go to the guy who scored both goals, but a lesser keeper would have conceded one at least there.Well done Mossy.

Yeah he really threw himself around out there. He actually came over to us at the St John yesterday evening to meet my dog with his son, had a bit of a chat about the game, a real humble guy. Great game from a great dude.

The way Roy reacted immediately afterwards gave it away. Poor touch.

So much this. 

We've seen repeatedly this season how going 1 up or 1 down has changed the game dramatically (both in our favour, and against us). If we were not 0 - 0 when Siggy's wonderball to Burns' laces was played to put him in with a chance he converted to the opening goal we could have had a very different result.

Mossy in particular kept us at 0 - 0 - Siggy and Durra were immense too.

Of course not, becase Depeche Mode are better than the Isley Brothers.

Length of time in Queensland perhaps? 

After a bit of time in the sun "don't you worry about that, son!"

Must be getting hot as all heck in Brisbane right now. I remember being on a bus there without air conditioning around this time...dunno how you can walk to the dairy there, let alone play football in the heat

He wasn't getting a lot of good options too. I noticed in the second half that Roly started to drop in when he had the ball to give him a square option. 

1. Misogyny (/mɪˈsɒdʒɪni/) is the hatred or dislike of women or girls.Misogyny can be manifested in numerous ways, including sexual discrimination, denigration of women, violence against women, and sexual objectification of women.

So for example if an A-league lino makes a call and you use offensive slurs based on sex, post pictures that suggest females places are in the kitchen a la 1950s domesticity, and then respond to getting called on it, by posting a picture of wife-beating Jake the Mus. To give it some perspective, imagine the trouble you could get in for using a racial slur against say, Paul Ifill. Same dolphin. 

Also, Banzai, though a long-standing forum member and a great drawer of Daddi penos, has got priors IIRC he was the guy behind the parrot sketch.

now that wasn't too difficult was it? The lino was crap all day and we should have been 1-0 after 30 etc etc...

Far out. This makes me a sad panda. Respect to Chris. Met him in Auckland and seems like a really nice guy. It's not a crusade to state your principles. It's fairly damn necessary. 

But on the up side I've had two days of going large on that Sydney win!!!

We own Sydney, we own Sydney, we own Sydney once again!! Been having Felipe and Tim Brown flashbacks

Burns converts a one-on-one and Moss was damn damn damn immense! Doyle was like a guy who hasn't played for a while playing in a crunch match- cautious, and fair enough. He might have passed back, but we held possession and eventually did something with it. I think the goal came from the attrition of wearing them down. Sure it might have given us fewer outlets, but that's on the coaching staff to figure out.

Well done to the Yellow Fever in Sydney as well. Good show

Can we just enjoy the win and forget all this bloody crap.

This may not be what you mean, but it is the message I hear when I read that you want us to "forget" it: 

Let's and sweep it under the carpet and pretend it never happened.

Unfortunately to me that is indistinguishable from condoning it. 

It's not okay. 

Defending it is not okay. 

Asking us to "forget it" is not okay.

Asking us to "move on" - well, that's different. That's not dismissing it, minimising it or forgetting it. It's accepting it happened, acknowledging it was not okay, and implicitly stating that if it happens again, it will get jumped on.

Forgetting it, on the other hand, implies that if/when it happens again the fact that it has happened before will be ignored.

So my vote at least is that we do NOT forget it.

Move on, as Dale suggested, by all means... but don't forget it.

And yes, enjoy the win - absolutely. I've been doing that all along...

Better? 

Just out of curiosity:

Chris Kerr or Allyson Flynn

Would you?

I find it annoying cos its not a football song and has no football content at all.

You might as well sing something like "Im forever blowing bubbles".

Wait a minute...

Fark.

I'm not saying sweep it under the table, but enough has been made of this - everyone knows its wrong, everyone knows that people are upset.  There is no point continuing with it because the point has been made.

And to be honest there have been far worse posts on here in recent times that have warranted less comments.

Already have.

Would you consider that you were careless, reckless or used excessive force?

Ah. That explains why he was out injured for a while then...

I'm a gentle soul J82.
