What's irony?

[Premiers04]

Irony gets the creases and wrinkles out your clothes

It's also pretty ironic that for once in a blue moon the Cats kicked more goals than points and managed to beat us in spite of having less shots at goal/i50's, and now all their fans want to run around calling that performance proof that last years GF win was a "Bradbury".

Homer: So, Mr. Malloy, it seems that the cat has been caught by the
very person who was trying to catch him.

Skinner: How ironic.

 

[Go Cats!!]

It's a type of triangle I think.

Since this is bay 13.

Its the longest side of a right angle triangle you dumbass! Typical hawthorn flog and so on.

The type of thing one usually learns in year 7

Good to see you remembered it from last year then.

Whats even more ironic about this thread is that the HAwks lost 2 of their best before half time in the GF & a number of players carrying injuries and still smashed the perennial pretenders.

good on ya RD17 premiers.

LMAO.

It's not very ironic at all, we had the same thing.

You know, people ask the question alot - "What is irony?" I'm starting to think people on this board don't even know the difference between irony and ironing - people seem to use the latter term more often the former.

Irony to me is Hawks fans complaining all year about a string of injuries cruelling their team and its run, in particular, a lack of their two first choice key backs. This becomes ironic when the Hawks are playing their best footy for the year, with close to their strongest outfit for the year, facing off against Geelong who have close to their weakest team for the year (Brisbane game being the exception). The cats then proceed to lose their number 1 key defender before half time for the match, and their number 2 goes down in the third quarter - leaving us with a skinny rebounding defender as our new number 1.

Well, the irony really kicks in when Hawthorn, leading all day, get overrun in the last quarter by a severely depleted Geelong. In fact, most ironic of all is the man who kicked the last two points to claim the lead, Jimmy Bartel, who was himself battling an injury he picked up earlier in the match.

Yeah, isn't irony funny?

The irony is that the last time you all threw that line around, it effectively ended in tears, which will happen again.
Irony, funny eh?

 

[Franko Armani]

even more ironing will be the fact that yesterdays win will be this Geelong sides last great victory.

Good way to end a dominating period I guess.

Ending in tears like the Hawthorn fans knowledge that their season 2009 was effectively over? It was sweet

Sweet like a diabetics piss?
I think it's pretty sweet (in the most patronizing sense of the word...) how you repeatedly proclaim with incessant glee that we Hawks have all given up on 2009 now, just because some commentator excitedly labelled it a "do or die" game for us for the 7th or 8th time this year in the build-up.

You should probably learn to read a ladder properly... I'd teach you but it'd make me feel like a bully.
