Jay Posted April 1, 2007 Share Posted April 1, 2007 (edited) I tip who I don't want to win. So even when I get sh*t points, It means the teams I wanted to lose did. Works both ways. So in saying that, I am 1/6. Only because Collingwood won. Edit: Very good article by Ian Chappell here. Talking about how his top 6 teams to win the cup have either bowed out or shown detrimental weakness besides Australia and New Zealand. If they are in the final, NZ may go onto win. They don't lose to the Aussies lightly.

Jay Posted April 2, 2007 Share Posted April 2, 2007 I joined.

kingzing Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Bangladesh aren't exactly the "minnows" everyone thinks they are. They're too good to be minnows, but they haven't quite reached the status of a "full-fledged" international side yet. I like Bangladesh for their under-doggedness, and it's always good the see them win against powerhouses like Australia and South Africa. And speaking of Australia and South Africa, Australia will once again be No. 1 if they beat England tonight, and the Proteas will fall down to second place again. Cool.

Blind Joe Death Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Yew Bangladesh for life! I just love it when the under-dogs win. Stick that in your face South Africa ! Nah I actually like South Africa but you got to love Bangladesh. Anyways did anyone watch the Rugby 7's? Kenya made the Semi-final and I never even knew they could catch a ball. I just love it when African countries do well! Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/267374-aussie-sports-topic/page/7/#findComment-4158642 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool. Apparently we're already number one... Meh, England shouldn't be too tricky to defeat regardless. I'd watch it tonight, except I'm kind of over the Australia-England matches. Roll on Sri Lanka!

Storm. Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Haha well the Aussies took care of England no worries at all. Seems like Sri Lanka and New Zealand will be the only teams capable of stopping us from winning another World Cup. The Poms will have to win all their remaining matches to have any hope of making the semis. I'm having a good round with the NRL tipping, 6/7 with one more match to be played tonight. I'm especially happy because both Melbourne and the Gold Coast had wins this round.

Jay Posted April 9, 2007 Share Posted April 9, 2007 Haha this is brilliant. South Africa were full of themselves heading into this comp and now they are flat on their faces a la Australia in England 2005. McGrath, Tait, Ponting and Clarke all kicked ass, and were all in my fantasy team. And twas a good thing I had Gibbs in there as well. Oh yeah lads, back from holiday.

Justin Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 5/8 for the week (week four) in NRL tipping. Disappointing after my sextacular start of 6/8, 7/8 and 7/8 for weeks one, two and three respectively.

Storm. Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I finished up on 6/8 for the NRL because I didn't tip the Sharks who absolutely demolished the Dragons. I was a little sad today to hear that Joey Johns decided to quit playing league because he's been such a great player for all these years. Obviously he made the right decision though because it's definitely not worth risking being in a wheelchair the rest of his life. I just wish that I'd been to a game he played in.

Justin Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 I just wish that I'd been to a game he played in. I saw three in my life - should have been more considering I live in Newcastle and I've been a fan of the Knights since birth, basically. I too am saddened - not because of the team's loss, but because of the way he retired. Webcke got it right with a fairytale grand final win, whereas Johns has been deteriorating ever since the 2001 premiership win. It's incredibly sad that he hasn't played a full season for years, and to go out in round four is a huge injustice to his awesome ability. Here's to hoping the Knights finally get a more evenly spread budget rather than blowing half a mill on the world's best player.

Jay Posted April 10, 2007 Share Posted April 10, 2007 Man I love the dudes in the Cricinfo commentary team. Pity they never acknowledge my emails. They're mucking around with the sightscreen, making tiny, annoying adjustments. Only cricket can do this to itself. Come on - get on with it 1.6 Powell to de Villiers, 1 wide, and another wide. That was possibly a Test wide, in fact, if not a Harmison-wide 1.4 Powell to Smith, 1 run, again Smith is hurried into a stroke, and it's too full to be pulling - but Smith does pull, without timing or conviction and it bobbles out pathetically to midwicket *sends another email* Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/267374-aussie-sports-topic/page/7/#findComment-4164908 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 Mostly love. I've had no less than ten requests to go to the Showdown with people in the last week or so. I hate Showdowns, they bring out the worst in people in this city. And Port are off to a sh*t start, so maybe it is a good thing.

cice Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 How did we blow a 48 point lead? Christ we were sh*t in the 2nd half. I can remember at least 3 incidents where Essendon should have received a holding the ball free kick, but instead the ball immedietly went down to Carltons forward 50 and they scored a goal. But, you know, I don't want to place the blame on the unpires , just saying that consistency still needs work. BTW; another easy win for Australia at the world cup, why don't they just give us the trophy now, it's about time the tournament ended.

Jay Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 This round so far it for the sh*ts. I started off kinda well with 1/2, but just like last week, it looks like I am going to get an entire day of tips wrong if Freo somehow take down WC. Which they may. 1/3. Not cool. And Saints are strapping down the doggies and sh*tting in their faces as I type this. f*ck tipping.
