the troubadour

Brain cells and Beoz, sorry do realise I'm getting way ahead of myself. Fair cop. One of the rare moments you caught me out. Remove all talk about brain cells. Feel better?

the troubadour

Well wrong again obviously. The Barmy Army are regarded in generally high esteem and can even sing to round it off. (something Aussies cannot manage) England soccer fans? Again really. I've seen England play away from home on many occasions across Europe. Quite an event when England come to town. Many imitate or wear England colours during World Cup matches on foreign soil. Many love England and their clubs, others fear but few are blasé. Australia who are they?

Racism, another Aussie trait. No wonder you fit in

Yes of course they do, have you ever been to any sport not in a members' area or corporate box. Most fans will get together for a pint after the game, even if the banter got a bit spicy. Come down off your cloud and take them Beoz tinted glasses off pal. Most, if not all of the normal, working class fans recognise that they have way more in common with eachother than with the prawn sandwich brigade.

Sadly you are on the mark again. Though too many in denial being selective with regards to their racism. Not sure if particular poster is an Aussie though, inferring being a Pom when feels it warrants. Not that that at all is of the least importance.

Beoz

Stevie .... you are back. How's West Ham getting on? I see your "working class" fans are working hard on friendships.

Beoz

The Barmy Army "were" a good laugh. Looking at this summer, they barely existed.

the troubadour

So you agree spiting, snarling, fighting England was more a made up feature of your imagination. Just like England fans are not hated or detested by all .


Many a time it was the antics of The Barmy Army that brought some cheer to a stinking hot, dry wicket Perth Test Match day.

Are the players and the dildo brothers working class? Thought not, much as I think these guys were out of order, they have a right to be frustrated.

the troubadour

Bend over backwards. Next you'll be blowing bubbles.

Beoz

Oh yes. Frustration equals pitch invasions. Of course. Nice chaps.

Beoz

Yes calling Australian cricket fans "convicts" is just charming. You have a lot to learn about behaviour.

the troubadour

Charming? Bleeding brilliant. My favourite chant probably. You got to admit Australians love of rules and regulations, authority and not speaking out goes some ways to suggesting the past not yet dispensed.


More concerned about you though. Already out of bubbles?

the troubadour

Just wait until your golf club inmates implode. Probably out of boredom attempting to out smart one another with competition around their relevance. Or lack off. Rather dull chaps one can only imagine.

Beoz

Exactly why you are the most hated sporting nation on earth.

Quite sad really, especially when you aren't good at anything.
