Heartbroken

[robaba]

One of Confucius's greatest sayings

"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in getting up every time we do"

 

[Jimmy's Hot Dogs]

And Jack Dempsey said

“A champion is someone who gets up when he can't.”

I'm giving it away, it's too frustrating for me to follow the Roos. I can't forget 2005 Elimination Final and I can feel it happening again on Sat nite. I can't see any decent fullback going to stop Buddy Franklin. I don't care about winning or losing anymore. Everytime we make finals, we choke and history is repeating itself. I can't go on.

Geez nev, you weren't the one giving the qtr time rev up to the players last Sunday were you? C'mon boy LIFT.............LIFT I SAY!!!!!!

Chin up........we live to fight another day FFS!

Yeah, I went to school today and guess what? I got the most crap I have ever copped going back to school after a loss.

Same here. Should've wagged.

I came into work yesterday and followed my usual routine in Collins St.........buy the papers, get a coffee etc. Everyone around this area knows I'm a staunch Roos' man and I was anticipating some crap. I decided to follow the lead of the King Cobra and puff the chest out, keep the chin up, have a "don't even think about it f'wit" look on my face , and it worked.

A couple of the usual shop assistants appeared ready to say something but the stare down I gave them from 20 paces away did the trick and doused that idea.

F%@# 'em all !!!! It's bloody hurting alright but we're still alive, unlike some of their teams.

[shinboner magic]

It hurts but it doesnt hurt as much as finishing 14th and copping 4 months of crap.

The roos will bounce back its in our make up to ,so lets stick up dawks

I hears you TT. I know all about dishing out a similar look to anyone who even thinks of giving crap.

The bonus of living in Nth Qld is nobody here gave a monkeys except for one smart alec Bombers supporter - gave him back the old standard "yeah, well at least we made the 8" - I must admit i felt worse on the first day back at work after the '98 GF - was totally shattered for about a month.

I bounced into work with "how good are those Storm boys?".

Got in to work on Monday, pulled out my membership card and said to all the Geelong supporters (barrackers)"Get you membership cards out, come over here and we will talk about the game". What a suprise - no takers. Obviously they only have barrackers for Geelong down in Tassie. I will not take any sh!t from anybody who does not "support" their team with a membership. This manages to shut up quite a few people, and those that are members of other clubs seem to feel the same way that I do.

On the way home from the game on Sunday we called into Maccas drive-through. When we pulled up to the window this smart **** 15-year-old said, "Did the Kangas win today?" whilst trying to keep a straight face. I asked him if he was trying to be funny and told him that if he was, then he was living on borrowed time! He really needs to time his attempts at humour better as we were in no mood for his pathetic joke!

Should be sacked immediately.
SOP is to ask if you would like fries with that?

 

[Gasometer]

How many people still get the original;

"So what happened to North?............."

Probably the lamest question to ask.

I usually answer with "we lost"

I even copped it at work from a dude from Peru who has been in the country about 3 months and speaks hardly any english.
I've never been more hungry for next week

Peru - WTF - bet he barracks for the pies.

Why didn't you say to him "so how does peru go in the World Cup?"

Whilst walking though the lawn away from the G after the game, Thommo walked past looking very sullen.
A north supporter in front said to him "better luck next week" (or something similar, and Thomo stopped dead with "What did you say" Looking like he was ready to eat the guy.


That's when it hit home how bad the day was.

Picture a mid 30s male in full face paint and paraphenalia going through the checkout at the supermarket the night of the abysmal 1998 Grand Final.

Checkout dude in a breezy confident I love customers tone - "So how was your day?
I have officially proven than looks cannot kill, maim or injure.

Quick call to immigration control should wipe the smirk off his face.*




*is forcing someone on a visa to buy a membership considered ransom?

 

[Z_K]

No-one said anything to me at work, which is a bonus in any context.

But I got home on Sunday and the missus laughed as she opened the door. Outrageous performance. I must have looked a little annoyed, because she got all flustered, packed the car up and only came back this morning.

Justification for grabbing the checkout dude by the throat and punching the smile off his face. Trouble is those check out kids are programmed to ask that question to every customer - most are on auto pilot.

I ended up at Crown after '98 GF and i don't think i was smiling too much. Heaven help anybody in crows gear that nite.

I travelled over from WA for the game and was devastated. Thankfully I didn't cop any shit as West Coke lost their QF too.

Well, the man WAS poetic.
