yes and if it was the same somebody i am thinking of he would wish physical harm on me.

 

[BDR]

Saw an old fella take a tumble on an escalator today broke my heart poor old bugger, I'm never getting old.

 

[Pugzley]

FMD.. Whenever I do kickboxing, I feel tired and good, but when I do gardening and digging I just feel tired.

My mum took a fall the other day and put her shoulder through the wall, silly old thing was all apologetic about the whole in the wall.

Moral of the story = concrete the yard, no more gardening

One positive about not having a team in the finals?

Being able to watch every finals game impartially while seeing video refs f**k up and cost teams games and/or premierships.

Got a bad feeling that this years GF will have some sort of refereeing controversy. And then, and only then will the ARLC do something about f**king Harrigan.

Was this at your place? Also was thewall gyprock?

Yeah she was at my joint for a visit, walking down the hallway and just fell over and yes gyprock wall

 

[Twizzle]

Shit, I find myself agreeing with Tim...

It's nice letting people think I agree with the obstruction ruling the other night. The interpretation has been that way for a while now, that doesn't mean it's not as dumb as dog shit. It's even nicer to see Tigpie fans in a huff about getting a bum deal from the refs for once. What was that penalty count again?

This whole interpretation crap is just bullshit.

The rule is black and white, yet its interpreted as being grey. Why ?

You either can or can obstruct, why does it need interpretation ?


Its just like the forward pass, which now days is refereed to as a flat pass, which means its forward but its legal.

We have a rule regrading forward passes but the interpretation is such that they are legal now.

Why have these rules in the first place.


Its now wonder the players are confused, so are the fans.

 

[BDR]

Rules need to be black and white, the worst of the trouble started when commentators and pundits started calling for rule tinkering to allow "interpretation". They invented a problem about the refs having no common sense and now we're stuck with all these nonsensical rule variations that change week to week.

Yeah that was about the only type of wall you could put a shoulder through without doing damage to yourself.

 

[Earl]

Phil Gould is to blame. He started this shit in a Roosters v Dragons Anzac Day game way back.

I think that the flat pass is one that is neither forward or backward. It looks forward due to the momentum of the players running causing the ball to look forward compared to the ground.

So, any of you cowgirls supporters feel like a sig/avatar bet?

 

[Hallatia]

You mean can or can not.

you sure he didn't mean can or cannot?

Whilst true, Twizzle made the point, intentionally or unintentionally, that a lot of dubious passes (often the short ones that result in line-breaks, or the ones from dummy-half) are being called "flat" or "line-ball" when they've been thrown out of the hands forward.

Sure,

make up 2 banners though.

One with Tariq Sims in cowboys colours with the words 'Gezza's finest' and the other with Fien in dragons colours with 'Mt Isa's finest'.

Loser wears opposite one.

Done.

 

[Hallatia]

I am pretty sure that anyone playing football from a young age is taught the ball is only to be passed backwards, which is neither forward nor flat. I have never read the NRL rulebook, so I cannot be too sure what it ever said about passing, but it would make the most sense to say it's either back or it's not
