Been reading this again- and all about your wombat.Not so sure you know,maybe anther Aussie could corroborate?


Sure throws a different light on 'rooting for the other side'

One of the emails doing the rounds is 'How do you tell if you are a true Aussie' and No. 7 of the ditties is:

When you hear that an American 'roots for his team' you wonder how often and with whom?

'Tis true, no need for corroboration !

Another one I like is :

No, 12. You think 'Woolloomooloo' is a perfectly reasonable name for a place !

ok getting back on topic

the last day looms........

Can anyone else see a slight flashpoint on the A9 returning from North, regardless of who wins/loses..

Semtex returning from Dundee
Queens 11 returning from the sheepdrome..

One set of supporters will be jubilant, one will be raging..

If the Bogtrots win, then their fans will be delayed leaving Dundeh after the presentation of the trophy etc,

just in time for the travelling gers supporters, of which their will be thousands to be driving down the Kingsway onwards to perth..

there may be trouble ahead..

I think the Celtic Dundee Utd game will be a cracker...Financially a win is worth a lot of money for the Arabs, so they will not roll over for Irelands finest.

Whereas the sheep are just total pish but always try to beat the Gers..

Regardless of who you support, it will be a great, nailbiting end to the season, of which there has been a few of lately..

Kind of makes up for the mediocracy of a season in Scottish football in general...

Yeah, the whole A9 thing reminds of a particular Saturday, back in the 80's, as the Arabs were visiting Celtic Park and the mighty Dons were taking another three points away from Castle Greyskull..... The Clockwork Orange promptly starts dumping Dons fans and Utd fans back at the train station, with the water- & job-dodgers from both sides of Weegieland in close pursuit...

Have never seen anything like that day since... It was pandemonium at the train station....

loving the descriptions, any non-jock, non football fan will not have a clue to what we are referring...

I get that much abuse for when I attempt to speak English, thought Id show them what I could sound like if I REALLY put my mind to it.....
