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...

@Former-Member Oh I'm jellybabies you got to see Kathy's win.. that is historic!

I used to play competition squash, and competitively swim. I still do laps I try to do at least 2kms a session.

I like the T20, I source the IPL on the internet because it's just huge. I want to go to India, to a Tibetan Buddhist retreat and when I do I'd like to catch some IPL games while I'm there. I used to be into the longer versions but with my PTSD I've no longer really got the attention span for it, or didn't. Perhaps now that I am further along with my recovery I might start watching one dayers again.

Wasn't it great to see the Fed win again? What a fairy tale that Final was, so glad it happened in the Aussie one. Unbelievable he has two sets of twins. That's 4 doubles teams, 2 mixed and 2 normals, if the boys are identical too that could be a commentators nightmare if the mixed teams played each other. Ok getting a bit ahead of it.. they might all hate tennis 😛 But it's fun to think about.

And the swans, yes they used to be one of my favs but don't tell anyone... I just don't like Buddy.. I know I know... sacrilege. But I just don't. I also feel really bad for Goodesy... I really liked him as a player and person and I think it was just awful what he copped at the end and so wrong how he basically was pushed out.

Ok I rambled again.. so I'm shutting up .... byeeee for now 😛 *waves*

Re: All Things Sport...

@Former-Member - this thread is for sport. I don't watch sport. Only local sporting matches when my son is playing in the team. And even then - if it's cricket - I only watch for when he bats and bowls. The most boring sport on the planet - cricket.
