[Delboy]

Oops, Tony didn't get permission from Rupert.

Rupert Murdoch ‏@rupertmurdoch 1h1 hour ago
@sprocket___ Abbott knighthood a joke and embarrassment. Time to scrap all honours everywhere, including UK.

Thanks Gronk, perhaps if he had got permission from the unions or the Greens, you would have said OK, this is just as silly as your usual lefties comment

 

[Twizzle]

If you don't watch it, how do you know what it's like?

I was initially very cynical, and it is certainly a completely different game to other forms of cricket (and so doesn't really bear much comparison to them), but I kinda like it. I don't like the way that the BBL has destroyed the 1st class cricket calendar so much.

I have watched a few games, hence my opinion

 

[TheParraboy]

Murray one set up easily

oh well

*flicks to Abc to watch the Socceroos*

People have other shit to do on weekends.

That's great going. Pity they let one in though but a 9 goal lead should be enough

 

[Gronk]

I'm a big fan of Raonic and reckon that he can take out Djokovic, provided that he does not get spooked.

They've played 4 times and it's Djokovic 4-0 so far. These results have been on clay and a slow carpet surface at the Paris Masters, so this is the first time that I can see they have played on a fast court.

 

[TheParraboy]

don't kid yourself Novak is gonna murder him

Rupert Murdoch @rupertmurdoch · 3h3 hours ago

Abbott again. Tough to write, but if he won't replace top aide Peta Credlin she must do her patriotic duty and resign.

A coincidence that Miranda Devine wrote the same thing today or does Rupert have editorial influence over her ? Shock !

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Remember when Gronk thought Rupert Murdoch was full of shit?

Now he's attacking Abbott he's a top bloke. :roll:

 

[Gronk]

Murdoch is a top 10 world scumbag. I would never support anything he represents.

Nice try. :arrow:

 

[Gary Gutful]

Gronk would probably buy a Manly fan a beer if they said they didn't like Abbott.

 

[Gronk]

I don't think I have ever met a Manly fan in real life, so not sure how I would react.

I don't think I would harbour any grudges however and would be happy to have a beer and chew the fat (Abbott issue notwithstanding).

A Storm fan who disputed the whole cheating thing would fire me up more. F**king Mexicans !

 

[Gary Gutful]

..and not only that they'd probably want to drink VB or Carlton Draught which is equally offensive.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

I had a very nice (but pricey) IPA yesterday.

Oh, and I don't like Rupert either. But then again, he once cooked Kamahl a nice steak, so maybe he's ok.

 

[The Phelan Folly]

In that case i'd recommend the sleeping giant ipa fron gage rd brewing in wa. Nice & smooth for an ipa & only about 20 for a 6 pack.

I happened to walk past rupert outside the news building in surry hills not long after the super league debacle and threw a bit of a loose elbow into his shoulder - barely brushed him but did talk it up for a few years after..

 

[strider]

I've never drunk an IPA ever - infact I don't even know wtf an IPA is

And I've never seen rupert murdoch in my life - don't really give a f**k about the merkin


just letting you all know
