DON’T. BLOW. KISSES. And other karma tales

Does karma exist?
While many pfft its existence, surely karma put on her best biatch-slapping :high_heel: and wiped out a whole lot of smug last night.
Being a smug, arrogant prick can have some pretty sobering consequences. Good morning Ivan.
The West Tigers are not only relevant in the NRL, they are obviously now the centre of the great cosmic plan.
Ivan, next time you and your family are the subject of vile abuse at a game, you need to go one further. Drop the dacks and give them a pressed ham against the glass, then we win the GF in 2021.

Ivan was obviously taking lessons from Darren Albert in 2000 from the GF Qualifier between the Roosters and the Knights. Just on halftime Albert scores for the Knights to extend the score 16-2, so he blows kisses to the camera. The Knights then doubled down as, when leaving the field at halftime, Andrew Johns says to Luke Ricketson (who came off early in the first half with a hamstring injury) "get ready to enjoy mad Monday."

All this went around the Roosters dressing room at halftime firing them up and they come out and beat the Knights 26-20 to make the club's first first grade GF in 20 years.

. . so Captain, imagine how more riled up they would've been if Albert blew the kiss directly at your fans, instead of just at the camera ?

While choking sucks...

If blowing kisses at salty fans gets a Grand Final every year I am all for it

As a dragons fan, take it from me... losing one grand final is tough... but losing in 5 consecutive grand final appearances was a mental Armageddon.

And our coaches didn’t have to blow kisses to do it.

Be careful what you wish for, or you too could end up like us.

A dragons fan.

Surely you don’t wanna do that to yourself..

Albert was not provoked by a belligerent dick yelling filth at him. That "fan" also had his 9 or something year old kid with him, what a f**ken role model.

If any positive came from the event it'd be that kid realising his dads a f**kwit and if you act like a f**kwit you'll get treated like a f**kwit. Better to be the winner blowing kisses than the irate loser blowing a gasket.

Ivan could've spat on WT fans and players as they entered the ground and I doubt WT have the self respect to garner up a "f**k you" win.

1. How the fkk do you know what provoked Albert ?
2. How the fkk do you know what the WT fan said to Ivan ?
3. How the fkk do you know the 9yr old is his kid ?

. . . so at a sporting event, a fan is talking shit to the opposition team, fans or coach, and you see that as wildly out of the norm ?
You would think that the coach, as a role model and all that, wouldn't get engaged . . . even if he was "provoked" by an over-excited fan. You know, like 95% of the other coaches in the same situation.
2.49am Saturday night . . . that makes sense.

1. I know these things.
2. It was reported in a couple articles and the fan made some concession/apology.
3. See 2.

Whats out of the norm is an entire fanbase crying about some goose having a kiss blown at him.

No, that doesn't make sense.

Losing isn't so much the issue as choking part. 99 would of been a killer out of those

I’m outspoken on this but 1993 was far worse than 99. Many forget we finished 6th and the Storm finished 3rd that year. Yeah we should have won from where we were but the Storm were a quality team.

1993 we were never in the contest, at all. Completely went missing. Worst game by far all year and probably the most forgettable grand final in the modern era - only remembered for being the 2nd in a row for the broncos...
