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...

When players retire, most of them go into coaching, commentating or ads on TV, so they will never be short of cash. Plus the also get paid more for one test series than I'd earn in a year.

Cheating is really an insult to the fans. If you can't win, you can't win. Simple as that. Fans stick with their team even if they are on the bottom of the ladder. It's disappointing.

Re: All Things Sport...

Liverpool won again @MDT That is 20 wins out of 21 games (with one draw). We are now 16 points ahead with a game in hand also. A great year for us and finally after soooo long it looks like we have the Premier League in our keeping

@Former-Member I am backing your Sixers to beat the Stars tonight

Re: All Things Sport...

nice @Zoe7

Swansea play in the Welsh derby tonight against Cardiff. If they win they will hit 6th.

I think we have a good chance as Cardiff haven't been too good. Although Swansea got knocked out of the FA cup...

But anyway. I may watch the first half at 11pm. Will see how I go.

Don't want to miss out of sleep as it will effect me tomorrow

Re: All Things Sport...

Yes @Zoe7 its certainly been Liverpool's year.

I am watching the BBL between Sixers and Stars. Seems odd that its #1 vs #2 on the ladder, and yet I give my Sixers almost no chance of winning. But there is just a small thread of hope that they could pull a win out of the bag.

Disappointing not to be watching Aussies in the ATP Cup final tonight. But Spain were just too good last night. Proud of young De Minour taking a set off Nadal though. I think the expectation was that Kyrgios would win his match, but was outclassed on the night.

Hi @MDT @Scarecrowe @KB23

Re: All Things Sport...

Yes sleep is important @MDT particularly before a work day. My plan to head to bed early myself tonight but that depends on how close the Sixers-Stars match is tonight.

@Former-Member Kyrgios lost the plot early and quite frankly let us down again. He acts like a spoilt child when he is not winning and has no fight in him at all - his true character comes out and unfortunately for Australia he seems to not care on the court.

De Minaur played so well for 2 sets and even showed that fight that Kyrgio doesn't have in the third when he was 4 games down. Such a great representative for the country

The SIxers need to get Stoinis out early as well as Maxwell when he comes in then bat really well from the beginning themselves. If Phillipe can play a blinder again tonight then you are in with a real chance.
