I think we just got done repressing that memory. Thanks

Heh.. Tall Blacks.. thats somewhat amusing team name.

Not as good as the NZ Badminton team - The Black c**ks.

Caused a bit of a stir last year. Funny stuff. They had some very catchy phrases.

Here's a link

Love their slogan - "The Black c**ks - Expect Big Things"

Classic

I felt sorry for Ashton Sims and Inu both of them deadset came out like they had the IQ's of a 5 year old.

MVP being on there was a bit of shock, he was a good sport though.

Footy show wasnt as bad as the last couple of years offerings but the standard has dropped dramatically in the last 4 weeks compared to what it was this year.

Its like they no longer wish to touch on anything serious or to much footy related stuff anymore.

Who was the comedian?

 

[redvscotty]

Anthony Collela

Didn't he win Australian Idol?

 

[redvscotty]

You're not f**king serious are you? Surely :roll:

I'd ask the same thing to Steve Burraston.

 

[Mr Saab]

Didn't he win Australian Idol?

He came 2nd...and thats Anthony Callea

Inu wasn't that bad, he's just very softly spoken. He was better than Hayne the week before who struggled to put a sentence together.

I was impressed with Patton, seemed confident & cheeky - even if he does have punters eyes....

Thats not the case at all, however i will stop short of saying it is a good idea. If people (football players or mere mortals) cannot work out how to act accordingly by the age of say... 22, then they should taken out the back of the house and shot like a rabid dog.

Maybe the card could read, 'You are not Holier than Thou. Before committing an act of absolute moronic proportions, please use that vital piece of equipment they call your brain.'

a lot of regular people wonder how the idiots can be so stupid as to keep stuffing up.

but maybe if they're forced to carry around something as simple as a card, they will look at it/be reminded of what can happen and possibly (hopefully) prevent them from doing their stupid sh*t. i'm sure a lot of the time, despite it being blatantly obvious what they will be, a lot of the players forget about the consequences. whether it sounds stupid or not, it could help a lot.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Can someone please fill me in on what this "card" is all about in reference to the Knights? I didnt watch the show last night

 

[NorthShoreEel]

Looks like this....

 

[Apey]

haha

it's just a double-sided cards the players have been given. one side has all the bad headlines, the others has the clubs expectations.

Scenario:

Knights players celebrating a win out on the town at Newcastle, for arguements sake, lets say Corey Patterson is tuning some chick at the bar, she suggests they go to the toilets for abit of fun, young Corey's had a schooner or 20 and is keen on the idea, but before he goes in, he pulls out his wallet, takes a look at the card and then comes to his sense and realises its not such a good idea... the card works!! :lol:

Sorry but you actual think that this will stop people from doing dumb sh*t, the fact is alcohol is involved 99% of the time they are doing dumb sh*t, they are intoxicated, they dont think about their actions before doing them, what makes you think they'll think about a bloody card in their wallet, thrown behind the credit card/drivers license?

lol i'm not saying it's going work every time.

i'm saying I don't understand the criticism - it COULD work, depending on the circumstances. anything to help is worth a try.

I know what your saying, at this point anything is worth trying but i just cant see why on earth anyone thinks this would work and subsiquently why its been implimented, seems very stupid to me.

Alcohol is the problem, a card in their wallet wont stop them getting OzBlotto, and once they're in that state, its shut the gates.
