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...

@Eve7 I would prefer our nurses getting more before teachers - they are so under payed for what they do. There has been talk for a long time that teachers could be 'rewarded' for higher performance - but the question is 'what does that entail'. Not everyone that teaches wants to move up the ladder - in-fact the majority do not want that so where would that leave those at the coal face doing the hard work? We need additional teacher's aides first - and that is where the money should be spent rather than arbitrarily rewarding the minority who satisfy government selected criteria that has nothing to do with the REAL job of teaching. Reducing the increasing amount of paperwork that has to be done and letting teachers teach would be a great first step

Hi @Zoe7 @Eve7 @Former-Member @MDT @Shaz51 @WIP and all sports fans here. How are things going for each of your teams and sports?

Just letting you know that it's State of Origin 3 tonight at the Gold Coast for rugby league fans here. I'm not watching it as I have things to do so I don't know of any scores. I'm going for Queensland only because of Billy Slater, Cam Smith and the legendary Wally Lewis. Go the Maroons!

Good luck to all your teams!

Re: All Things Sport...

My teams have been relatively ok @Judi9877
I was going for Italy in the final of the Euro2020. Something in me prevents me for going for England - my inner drongo/aussie/mongrel doesn't like it haha.
Plus I was going for Wales but they got done like a dinner by Denmark

My teams in the Tour de France are going ok. The aussie team - team bikeexchange - have been okay. Geraint Thomas is nowhere near where he needed to be. But fortunately Ben O'Connor is a new up and coming General Classification rider. Caleb Ewan crashed out early and therefore misses out on Green. But hopefully at La Vuelta we can see more aussies in green and yellow (gold). Next year I heard they are actually doing a full LA Tour which is the ladies version as at the moment there is only a few stages to that.

Swansea are looking good - they have kept their manager and have signed up some promising young players up front. Although I am very worried about goalkeeping. I fear we may have a gap there....

Haven't kept tabs on AFL much though.

Re: All Things Sport...

Thanks for the update @Zoe7! Like I said, I'm supporting QLD but I'm also biased because of the Melbourne Storm links! Besides, there's a big rivalry between Melbourne and Sydney so I'd love Qld to win to stop NSW getting 3/3 on QLD turf!
