They’re Just Umpires

Posted in AFL, Sport on August 28, 2011 | Leave a Comment »

Hey Tim Lane, Stephen Quartermaine and Robert Walls (you especially Robert). And all of your colleagues who are radio and television commentators. The bloke on the left here is Ray Chamberlain. Or Umpire Chamberlain would probably be better. His name is not Razor Ray. Nor is his name Ray. Well, it is, I suppose, but [...]

Andy Murray & Poor Sportsmanship

Posted in Tennis on May 31, 2011 | 1 Comment »

I’m currently watching the French Open on Foxtel. Andy Murray is playing Viktor Troicki, the underdog, and it is two sets all with games on serve in the final set. Troicki has played a great point and clearly beaten Murray, but one of the ball kids has prematurely run onto the court, thus the point [...]

Mick Malthouse – Where’s The Credibility?

Posted in AFL, Opinion on May 29, 2011 | 1 Comment »

I dislike Mick Malthouse, the current coach of the Collingwood football side. I dislike Collingwood too, but I’m not in the minority there. People have claimed I don’t like Malthouse because he’s associated with Collingwood. NOT TRUE! Did you hear that AN (you know who you are)? It’s not true. I dislike Malthouse because I [...]

St Kilda–That Was Crap

Posted in AFL, Saints, Sport on May 15, 2011 | 1 Comment »

Angry? You bet I’m angry? I, and about 38,500 others who part with a chunk of money each year for our St Kilda memberships, deserve better than the crap that was dished up against Hawthorn at the MCG this afternoon. I always like to approach things positively though, so with the intent of helping the [...]

The Saints and the Hawks will once again battle for the annual Blue Ribbon Cup when the two teams meet in Round 8 at the MCG on Sunday.

St Kilda Elevates Plugger To Legend Status

Posted in AFL, Sport, tagged on July 25, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Some of my happiest days watching VFL / AFL football have been when Tony Lockett was kicking bags of goals at Moorabbin. Those great memories make it easy to ignore all the bad things he did there as well. So it was fantastic to find out that he was elevated to Legend status at the [...]

Womens Tennis – A Pleasant Change

Posted in Tennis, tagged on June 6, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I sat down and watched Sam Stosur play Francesca Schiavone in the final of the French Open last night, flicking between that and the Socceroos playing the USA. It was a fantastic effort by both ladies to reach the final, neither of them being “stars” in the women’s game. Schiavone’s tactic of rushing the net [...]

Soccer – Is Golden Goal A Better Option?

Posted in Football, tagged , , , , on March 21, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

Melbourne Victory was beaten in the A-League grand final last night by Sydney. Scores were locked at 1-1 after regular time and after 30 minutes of extra time. Sydney ended up winning the penalty shoot out. As a spectacle, it was a pretty ordinary game. Both teams generally sniped away at each other all night, [...]
