All Things Sport...

All Things Sport...

There are many threads dedicated to sharing experiences - good times and not so good - so I thought I would start a thread for those on here who love their sport. For me - and I suspect for some others - sport is a good distraction as it often blocks out the more negative emotions and helps to avoid triggers that many other things in 'life' so often seem to do.

This thread can also be a place where like-minded (and not so like-minded people @utopia @Former-Member @Zoe7 lol) can 'discuss/debate' their respective competitions in their preferred sport(s).

For those that are definitely NOT into sport @Phoenix_Rising for example - avoid this thread at all costs - whoops just tagged you in..........hahaha!!!!!

Re: All Things Sport...

Re: All Things Sport...

hahaha - would love to be a fly on the wall watching you wave at the tv @Scarecrowe LOL

I suppose that is no different to me shouting at the tv when the footy is on and thinking they can hear me LOL

Re: All Things Sport...

Hahaha I know right @Zoe7

How often do you yell at the tv when watching sport, like it is going to make a difference to the outcome...........so funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: All Things Sport...

I used to jump up and down and yell out when Browny scored a goal ...and Toby used to follow and stand on his back legs - of course I taught him that lol. So yeah - we are tragic yelling at the tv @Scarecrowe ...especially with the close games - I often don't sit down when it is close ...wander around the loungeroom as if I am marking or icking the ball myself LOL I am much more sedate with soccer but being a Liverpool fan has meant some amazing comebacks and wins over the years so get edgy then too. And who am I kidding - I am the same when the cricket or tennis is close!!!

Haha good onya @Scarecrowe :tumbler_glass:

We are out for dinner at the same hotel we went to on Christmas eve.

We are headed back to Sydney tomorrow 😔

I always feel sad leaving this area. It's just really good. Peace and quiet. Away from the garbage.

But I do think living here would eventually lose its shine.

We can never have too much of a nice thing maybe

Re: All Things Sport...

oh yes I am the same @Zoe7 when games get close I get up and start pacing the room, and then I start feeling sick lol.

And sometimes I can't watch what is going on and I turn my back towards the tv lol, like that helps as I can still hear what is going on......................hopeless lol

Re: All Things Sport...

Well I hope you enjoy your dinner @MDT

yes living in a place and visiting a place are two completely different scenarios. I often think the same thing when visiting places, but then I think well if I lived here I would be going to work etc. Not the same as when you are holidays, and sadly we can't be on holidays permanently

Re: All Things Sport...

oh yes I do exactly the same @Scarecrowe The first year we played Collingwood in the grand final I had to go outside in the last feww minutes because I was so nervous lol - did come back in to see the win though ...and then partied all night afterwards

Hey @MDT Enjoy your last night there buddy.

In response to: Re: All Things Sport...

Re: All Things Sport...

hahahaha nice to know there is someone just like me when watching close games @Zoe7

nothing like the party afterwards when your team wins the big one...............when it comes to footy it has been a LONG time since I have had that chance sadly.....maybe 2020 is Carlton's year............................

Re: All Things Sport...

They certainly showed soooo much improvement towards the end of last year @Scarecrowe and I think they will be a force to be reckoned with this year - I am even going to call it early and say they will make the 8
