Default Football starts this weekend

The Doggies are playing St George, and they are televising it delayed in Melbourne - the VCR I bought was a wise investment.

It is also the Wizard Cup final, on this long weekend in Victoria. Halcyon days.

And not a mincing, pony-tailed, beckham et al in sight!!

Doesnt matter what you say .. ITS STILL THE WRONG SHAPED BALL.. !!!

Anyways I get a chance at last to play some real football with a bunch of old guys... At least being one of the younger ones I'll have a chance to shine... before the lack of fitness induced cardiac...

Cheerio

3rd week of the Super 12. A real sport, better than all the other crap they play down there. Enjoy the 'games', as opposed to sports.

Have to say I enjoy all codes of football. Thank god its all statting up again, going insane sometimes, watching the home renovation shows that the missus watches. I know its a little off course, but, I was wondering if anyone living in the UK know what channel have the V8 supercars on?

Damn right!. Someone has to educate (break in) the Aussies/wannabe Aussies about real sports, because the status quo is crap & unacceptable!.

Nice to see a new convert to the game, and glad you enjoyed it.
