Been trying to catch more Rugby at the pub, but it was only recently I learned that Friday Night Football is actually a Rugby League. I'm rooting (for) the Kronulla Shahhhks mate. Yeah, I got a skinhead, have a go or shut your trap yah Geeeelon' c&%t. Anyhow, still a total novice but a good game at least provides some nice compact action that isn't spread out in 20-second dribbles over three hours. I already drink beer mate, don't need help picking my piss...Be fucked if I let a beet get near my burger tho.

Havent seen any Rugby League since the 1980's. The sport doesn't even exist in Japan. Zero coverage, zero imprint. Although probably a better watch these days than the current mess of unfollowable rules and stoppages that is rugby.
Geeeelon': AFL, moran.

Not that I really even grasp the rules, and it's been bloody Aus league cricket during the week at the bar lately. Bad timing on my part, I guess, I really only go once a week. I do know Aus Rules Football is some other beast again. That Rugby WC did shit-all for the sport in Japan? I was in some little old-timer tachinomiya in Nishinari during the end of Japan's third game and the clientele, me being the youngest, watched like it was a little novelty: giant tattooed furriners running and bashing about with a ball. I go occasionally to a bar called Mulligans that actually shows US sports primarily, so have enjoyed some college and pro ball lately although all the bottom and side ticklers, scores/stats...that screen design is made for giant tvs and is distracting as hell when you are just trying to figure what quarter it is... |

I think Everton will stay up. Finally watched some stuff about the rules of Rugby League. Ran across this insanity, so thinking I need to check it out. My friend's bar is doing a sausage sizzle. I hope he uses white bread! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sausage_sizzleThank god Fuckface doesn't open this thread or I'd face some serious public shaming P.S. It gets worse, I also watched some some YT stuff on AFL aka Footie aka Ozzie Roolz Football...It's pretty appealing actually, it really is some super-athletic performance with that massive field and no offsides. Lots of goals keeps the fans going but not too many like the NBA. It's usually on the other screen so gonna give it a go... |

Never understood the"tackle" rule in AFL. They just sort of flap at each other without really laying the cunt out. My kicking skills would have been well suited to the sport but, fitness wise, on a fuckign field that size, I would have been a wheezing wreck after 5 mins.
ps I thought Rugby League had about 3 rules hence the attraction for mungos. Rugby's gone the other way with wayyyy the fuck too many rules.
psLOL Everton stay up

Rugby Dude 1: Yahbutt even here rugby still has the stink of pom onnit. RD 2: Fark Angland yah RD 3: Australia needs it's own true sport. RD 1: Yiz gottit mate. We'll make the field huge because we're a huge country. RD 2: Fawk yer small countries there. RD 3: Big teams, like 18 to a side soes we can have a kicker of a barbie after. RD 1: Riit awn, and like our roos, there will be a lot of kicking it about... RD 2: And you can only punch the ball like our dear roos! RD 3: We got more than being big and roos, don't we lads? RD 1: No offsides and you can only tackle below the shoulders and above the knees... RD 2: That's it then. We'll put up some posts and call it "Football". RD 3: But what about football like the Americans, or our own dear socceroos or even in Pommy Land?? RD 2: Fuck the poms, the Americans, and the rest of the world. This is fawkin orstraria mate. |

If there's ONE thing I've missed in my life from my homeland it's cricket. 30 years without seeing cricket. No, I havent seen even 1 hour of cricket in 30 years. Entire legendary careers have come and gone and I aint seen shit. Never seen Kane Williamson bat. Or Steve Smith. Or any of them. I remember blowing off Friday afternoon school with some pals to sneak down to a test at the deserted Eden Park one afternoon, Richard Hadlee was about to break some record or something. Maybe my last game of cricket I saw. 1987? Backyard cricket was a staple ffs the HOURS we spent dicking around with that. I was a #11 batting wicket keeper for my 1st XI. Yes, you read that right. No.11. |

Heard a lot of unintelligible cricket chatter before and during the SOO II last night. Good match - Bit tight for 30 minutes and then the Maroons started the pummeling. I was sitting with three NSW fans and had sausage sizzle this time - on wheat bread and with BBQ sauce. Nice headbutt and punchup at the end just right... ETA:  |

this '23 ashes series is completely insane so far. two 5 day test matches that have both gone deep into the 5th day with the outcome still unsure. all sorts of swings a roundabouts with one team seemingly in control and then the other team. aust >> are up two nil. three tests to go. poms are whinging and crying. i love it.

Whinge EpicentreAt first I thought that's fine, fair stumping, but now i'm thinking it's a bit off. The over was done. Fat pom batsman headed off down wicket for a chat with the non-striker thinking over was over and keeper would biff it to mid-off. ps

...carey the aus wicket keeper caught and threw the ball in one motion as soon as it hit his gloves. if you see the side on it was before the fat pommy had even left his crease, before the umpire had called the over and before he ball was deemed dead. its totally within the rules. the batters don't get to say when the ball is dead. you see wickies regularly try to do this exact same thing but usually they miss...either that or its not against a team of pathetic crybaby sooks that can't accept the umpires decision and move on. aussies play to win everyone knows this. fucking whinging pommy cunts. zero compassion.
i mean, the greg chappell under arm incident against our little kiwi digger mates was embarrassing and errr ummm, underhanded.
this incident is completely different. the fat pommy batsman arrogantly kept walking out of his crease without the ball being dead, eventually the australians got sick of it and took advantage of him having no game awareness. no one to blame but himself. shut the fuck up england you whiney bitches.

A friend of mine was here in '95 and it was already open... I just realized, this cat face is the same one I make when my friends at the bar start talking cricket... |

not sure about an apocalypse now bar...thats not to say it wasn't there.
went to one nightclub in basement near a train crossing called (i think) #1. that featured dwarves prancing around carrying cardboard cutout guitars on a cat walk stage to super loud techno music. just one of many strange places and weird nights i had there.
spent many nights at a small restaurant/bar somewhere in the backblocks of district 2 owned by one of the local guys that was worked with us at the Giai Phong studios. he would take us there after work. then send us back to the continental hotel in a taxi after we were well pissed. couldn't have found the place on my own in a million years.
