Which Ratts actually stole from Bevo the year they won.

 

[gringo2011]

He's rather ghoulish and haunting

He comes across like a olden days catholic school principal. He's got a strange sexual ambiguity and a kind of misanthropic vibe like someone who's spent his life in temptation and denial. He gives me the creeps. It's like someone thought that if people liked Bruce McEveney they'd like this bland, lukewarm version of him.

So everyone here flipping their shit over this was... actually incredibly ****ing dumb and indicative of the moronic echo chamber of this forum? Colour me shocked!

Think you’re the only one flipping

Echo chamber? Haha people are arguing with one another all the time here

Its been repeated ad nauseum on how it was "poor language and loser talk" so dont give me that shit.

Its been repeated ad nauseum on how it was "poor language and loser talk" so dont give me that s**t.

I’d say it’s a lot more likely that a group of people independently thought that “why not us” was a shitty slogan for a professional sports team than some sort of group think idea.

The fact Bevo started it doesn’t negate that it’s a stupid slogan regardless of his result.

Scroll past

You are the only one getting upset about it

More that it means FA. It's a slogan with nothing behind it. Pretty basic communication style that might have a really brief moment of contemplation but unless it's based on a whole lot of measurables it's just basic under 15s crap.

I have no problem with it apart from the feeling that it was representative of fairly loose guidance of the side under that coaching set up. Hard to know for sure from outside but it looked a bit amateur to me.

"Why not us" ended up being because you weren't really a good enough side and hadn't done the work to improve enough to jump up. You really get one year at using it and it kind of limits your self belief after that because you get it answered for you.

It's made worse when we were actually playing like dog shit too. Why Not Us is a shitty slogan for a bunch of losers. We needed tactics and strategy, not hope.

Anyone know the correct pronunciation of ghoulish?

I just thought it showed how unimaginative Ratts was by “borrowing“ someone else‘s slogan.

As an over thinker, it would be more of an existentialist conundrum that would take me down a rabbit hole more than an inspirational affirmation. Why not us? Why us? Why anything? It's unanswerable. I'd be sitting cross legged rocking back and forth with copies of Camus and Sartre spread out across the floor. Why chase a football around a well lit paddock when nothing has any meaning.

I’m pretty sure Ratts is about as deep as a ****ing puddle so you’d be having an existential crisis while he was trying to look up existential in the dictionary… and failing.

 

[Saintos The ITK]

Can go any slogan.

Love the picture this conjures.

Someone has gum on their nuts

Happened to me at a party once. For real

Wasted. Went to sleep with gum in my mouth and woke up the next morning with it stuck all through my pubes. Terrible state of affairs.

I was like... how?.... could I have?.... naaaa

Announced it to everyone that was still there to their amusement.

One of our mates locked himself in the toilet at a pub, fell asleep and spewed in his underpants and jeans back in the day. And they say men can't multitask.

 

[PoppedCorn]

We had to get him out of the toilet. We weren't cleaning him up so he had to get home in a cab with cold spew in his undies. He was that one guy that would always do dumb shit. Other people you'd be shocked. It was just his normal state.

He was so drunk that we had to pull him out under the cubicle door by his feet through his spew too. He was lucky mobile phones weren't a thing back then.
