Thank you for being gracious.
Can't wait for Skeepe to come on here if he hasn't necked himself.
You have called me out several times in this thread. Let me make it clear to you: you are nothing to me. I'm glad I get under your skin. I think it's hilarious that you're obsessed with me. But I don't give a flying f**k what you think or have to say about anything. So f**k off.
That oxygen thief dealt with, congrats to the Tigers, never gave up and were just too good at the end of the day. The one team that stick to a defined game plan for 80 minutes won, absolutely no mystery there, it'll happen 90% of the time (if not more).
I could go off about the ridiculous penalty after the ball being played and Tongue diving on it, but we all know that Robert Finch has eroded the standard of refereeing so badly that what would have been a perfectly legitimate play in the past will be a penalty every time today. I'm disappointed Tongue went for such a low percentage play in that situation. Unless you get the timing absolutely right (and sometimes even if you do) you conceed a penalty. A much better play would have been to take an extra second or two before taking off, and pressuring the dummy half, closing down the play. You could hardly say it changed the momentum since we scored shortly after as well, so no excuses.
If we could bottle the form from the first half, we'd be pushing top 4. Hell if we could stick to a game plan that's working for 80 minutes we'd come close. I think we're getting there, but we need to learn how to play for 80 minutes at home and any minutes at all away. We have the talent, but my fear is once we click into gear we'll be too far behind the pack to make the finals.
Oh and Josh Dugan for Dally M. Seriously. Great to see Shillington in the form that win him all those rep jumpers last year. Still doesn't get the credit he deserves from most.
Once again well done Tigers, I really hope you guys make the finals this year because you're great to watch.
