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!!!!!

ROFL!!!!!

Very very true @MDT . It could have also been baseball but the teams screamed soccer instead lol.

I have been to the Manchester United home ground in 1999. Even though I am not a huge soccer fan I did find it interesting. We got the full tour, where the teams get changed and where they have their pre game meetings, and they had a excellent tribute to the members who were killed in that plane crash many years ago. Very interesting and emotional.

Nice @Scarecrowe
I once did a tour of the MCG in Melbourne.
Was pretty impressive place. Always interested in the behind the scenes stuff

Re: All Things Sport...

I also enjoy the behind the scenes of places @MDT I have not done behind the scenes of the MCG but that is on my bucket list. Seen matches there but that is about it.

Fantastic stadium that is for sure. That would have been very interesting....I am jealous lol

I also want to do the roof top climb at the Adelaide Oval. I have been there twice so see test matches but that was before they finished the renos and had the roof climb. Another bucket list item........................

Hello to all the sports lovers out there. @Zoe7 @Gazza75 @MDT @Ant7 @Scarecrowe

Scarecrow .. we havent met before. I see you are a cricket lover. Me too . I particularly love my test cricket, but also like ODIs and beginning to appreciate T20 more now too. I guess you could say that I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to cricket.

Speaking of cricket .. Has anyone been watching the WBBL on tonight between Syd Sixers and Syd Thunder? My team the Sixers, are doing it easily tonight.

I am still smarting from my Canberra Raiders loss to the Roosters in the NRL grand final. Thanks to some highly questionable refereeing and bad luck. Most people would likely agree that the better team lost on the night.

So the AFL trade period has wound up on Wednesday. Did anyone get the players they wanted for their respective team? @Zoe7 I note the Sydney Swans have scored one of your Brisbane players in a trade deal. Swans were also after Danniher, but not worth losing the likes of Heeney, Mills, Parker. Especially when Danniher has hardly played a game in a long time, due to being injury prone.

I note that the Rugby League World Cup 9s has started. Anyone interested?

Re: All Things Sport...

Yes it was a really tough mistake made by the umpires in the grand final @Former-Member The advantage certainly went to the Roosters as your Raiders were not in a position to defend at the time. Even if it had been overturned on review your guys would have been in a better position so it definitely influenced the outcome - absolutely crushed for you

We got Birchall and Ellis-Yeoman in the trade period - both will be really great additions to our side. With Hodge retiring we needed another cool head in the backline and I think Birchall will fit that bill really well. We will still miss Hodge because he was a general on the field but Birchall may give us both that exoerience and more run off the backline. It was a shame to see Louis Taylor leave but he hadn't played many games this year so I hope he gets more chance with your Swannies.
