Preview 2024 Round 10 Sydney v Carlton (SCG) Friday 17th May 7.40pm (AEST)

[Ticky009]

Oof. Is it Friday yet?

 

[rustycrate]

I think our bottom 6 is much better than theirs, so another all round team effort needed for the win

All of a sudden you don't like fast players. Fickle.

 

[Punts]

With saad out also

There a few big outs

Still think it will come down to there talls

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Oof. Is it Friday yet?

[Ticky009]

Are you hyperventilating Ticky

Am very quietly freaking out.

 

[Ed_Gein]

But Ed, do you live in Noo South Wales ?

Haha, I do say "noo" a lot thanks to my Glaswegian accent, but in place of now, not new.

 

[sataris]

Am very quietly freaking out.

Would you like me to bring you a comfort toastie*?

* this is not a euphemism.

 

[Ticky009]

Getting my hair done on friday morning. This is my own version of a comfort toastie. I will be zen in the hairdresser chair.

 

[Bloods86]

Everton I think.

Harrison out. Should help us. DCL will probably breathe wrong before the weekend and miss.

 

[Bloods86]

No requirement to be Shakespeare on BigFooty. However, we are lucky to have a few English teachers lurking.

If I had to cop Shakespeare on BigFooty I'd beg for a permaban.

I try to spell and grammar (a brand new verb!) correctly but life is far too short to correct others.

 

[Swannie0307]

One spelling (or grammatical) error that drives me particularly nuts (and there are many that drive me nuts) is the inclusion of an apostrophe before the 's' in a plural. I still reckon many people put it there because they don't understand apostrophes. But I've also noticed my phone "autocorrecting" by inserting apostrophes where they don't belong and I typically don't notice until I've posted a reply (and sometimes don't notice even then). If I do, I go back and edit, lest anyone think I don't know how to use apostrophes. But it's taught be to be more tolerant of those who put them where they don't belong. It may be their phone, not them.

There are probably other autocorrects (or autoincorrects) that devices make that we don't notice in an informal setting where we don't always proof what we read.

Also people incorrectly using it’s instead of its (e.g. the cat ate it’s food, instead of the cat ate its food), i.e., the only time it’s is correct is for the abbreviation of it is.

 

[Swannie0307]

Am very quietly freaking out.

Geez what are you like when we play in the finals??

 

[Big Blood]

There are times when grammar matters especially, when it's supposed to be part of your professional freaking skillset.
Fox Sports suggesting that Swans were very under-sized last week:

[Swannie0307]

As long as Spurs win

Spurs have an interesting dilemma, if they beat ManCity, they will hand their arch London rivals, Arsenal, the premiership.

 

[The King!]

This is bullshit my wife looks like she randomly gets to go to Sydney and this game now .

I’m Fine with being a dumb Concreter business owner

Don't call yourself dumb!

We don't agree sometimes on here but you aren't dumb, you are switched on and as you say you own a business etc.

I'm sure you didn't mean it seriously. But still!
