footy observations … you wouldn't like me when I'm angry

July 24th, 2008

We should have known that the dramaz from Monday night’s Storm vs Dragons game weren’t going anywhere. But usually we’re the ones responsible for the rage and the profanity in our office. We were not expecting Intern Brownie to get on the Dragons video site and lose his shit. We never let him out! he must have snuck out his window while we were having our afternoon naps. And by ‘having our afternoon naps’ I mean ‘lying passed out on the lounge from our lunchtime woines’. He’s tricksy that Brownie.

But lose his shit he did. Bitch was PISSED.

Usually he’s so benevolent and snuggly. The kind of man who’s problem as a coach is that the players aren’t scared of him.  I can’t help but think that being around us every day has made him a cranky bitch. And I for one like it. Go Brownie go! An intern in my own image! We could not be prouder if he was our own kid.

And do you know what? Brownie was right on the money. Maybe our smarts are catching too?

It’s not Melbourne’s fault … the storm have got all the tricks, they grab pressure points. They tell you they don’t practice, they do. They’ve even got a new one where they rub their shin on your achilles, which is very painful.

We went down there to give a little bit back and basically Jamie Soward got grappled, and he got put in the sin bin. I don’t have a problem with the storm play, what I have a problem with is the officials saying they’re gonna cut it out of the game and they don’t.

THANK YOU. It’s not Melbourne’s fault they play the wrestling game. They win games with it. This is professional sport for god’s sake. What are all these players there for if not to win? They’re not being paid for their witty repartee. And Mick Crocker isn’t risking damaging his already probably smooshed brain just to lose out there. Right, Mick? he gets hit in the head all the time but doesn’t let it stop him.

Tell you what I do not approve of though: I hate when anyone tries to play the sympathy game with me. Oh, but wait. Brownie, do you want to clarify what I mean?

They accused Jason Nightingale of headbutting … he headbutted Billy Slater’s fists. The only thing Jason Nightingale did wrong is he didn’t headbutt him hard enough as far as I’m concerned.

If you’re gonna beat them that’s what you’ve got to do, because they play within the rules that the officials allow them to play in.
 

Brownie’s being serious. Billy Slater pleaded innocence because Nightingale head-butted him. But I saw no heabutts, and Foxtel IQ does not lie. Oh, Billy. Maybe it was someone else? But I definitely say it wasn’t little Flossy. I don’t like this at all! And we were getting along so well.

The truth is when you ran in and defended Cooper Cronk on the field with your arms a-swinging I was all over it. I love league violence! And when the ref sin-binned you and you smiled as you ran-off field, I almost giggled a little. Truly, I did.But then you go and ruin it by being sooky in front of the judiciary. Unacceptable!

I also have decided I do not approve of the heinous Melbourne Storm fans (except Hazy of course, love). I am all for new rugby league fans, but sometimes when you go and watch rugby league, it helps if … you know, you know the rules? Not all of them, mind you (I certainly don’t), but just the easy ones.

Like that tackling is allowed, and you don’t boo Every Single Time someone tackles a Storm player. Or that cowbells are never, ever acceptable. Or even that it is not ordained by God that your team should always win. Eventually, like every other team has at some point, your team will suck. So be nice to other fans. Hopefully then they will be nice to you if Israel Folau gets sent on his Mormon mission, or Greg Inglis is poached to union, or Storm Man falls off his quad bike.

I am, however, all for Brownie’s plan to solve this problem with more violence.  Violence solves everything!  My mama taught me that.

 

 

Sadly my dreams of extreme rugby league bloodsports were crushed when my other most-loved league coach Brad Fittler announced he is not down with the wrestlemania play At All.

“I think this style of game is pretty crap”.

But … but, Brownie said I could! He did! I swear! Braaaaaaaad, can’t I watch people have their arms ripped off?

Freddy never lets me do ANYTHING.

    I know it’s sad that i’m not one of your group, yet, i comment as quickly and as often. However, i am totally befuddled by that picture of Billy Slater and i felt the need to share. I’m baffled. I don’t understand what is happening in it, where they are, why he is wearing ripped clothes and she is wearing a nightie, why there is a dog, and why they are surrounded by red and artwork. I can’t sleep until this is solved.

  3. KikiJuly 24, 2008

    bec its even sadder that we comment on our own posts.

    we are writing a testimonials post in which we detail all the stuff people have said about us, and you will feature heavily. as Bec the Lesbian.

  4. KikiJuly 24, 2008

    (i hope thats not offensive. i have no idea what is and what isnt)

  5. Bec.July 24, 2008

    Finally, people have stopped treating me as one of them, and are labelling me as a lesbian!

    I’ve waited a long time for this day, kiki.

    In all seriousness, i love this mo-fo’ing blog. Put THAT in your testimonial and smoke it. Unless you are the one who broke bones by falling, like an old lady. In which case, leave the smoking to the less brittle.

  6. bartJuly 24, 2008

    Billy Slater really went to pony club?

    That just seems so right…

  7. Bec.July 24, 2008

    (btw, you only know i’m a lesbian because i have mentioned it several times, so if i got offended at that, i would be a douche. And i’m not).

  8. JustinJuly 24, 2008

    I hate Slater with a passion and was up when Nightingale was punching into him esp. since i remember Slater blindsiding Hornby one day evil jockey bastard he is *shake fist at sky in Melbourne’s direction*

    Thanks for the shout out! Made my night :)

    Woooo okay, I will say there are some messed up people, well a lot at storm games. Makes me feel really normal and great about self actually but being there, St George were playing dirty as. I think raking peoples faces ( people who can’t stand or bare to have any more facial deformities) is pretty bad as is pressing your legs into peoples faces while you get up. There was heaps of dirty play from st george but hey, we do bad stuff too. I just want everyone to have a love in and get along.

    You’re gonna love the freaky freaks at olympic park. They mainly come from Brisbane. I don’t know what that says about Brisbane and QLD in general.

    P.S. OMG did you see Cooper on the footy show! Could he have any better fashion sense or be hotter! I’m also a huge Will chambers fan, the only one I think…

  10. HazyJuly 24, 2008

    I don’t even know if my last post made sense, for some reason i decided to write it on my stupid, horrible hiptop and it was hard and would only let me post as Anon. anyway, i apologise if it didn’t make sense.

    P.S. I’m no Art Critic or anything but i knows bad ‘art’ when i see it, you should check out more of her artwork on her site (Nicole Rose that is)… I think the pressure of being an expectant father has got to Billy… pretty sure his kids will be scared of him and his mean right hook.

  11. KikiJuly 24, 2008

    bahaha jockey bastard. nice one justin.

    omg u have a hiptop toooo hazy! im always on mine. tres addictive.

    bec you are so good for our self esteem. heart x 1000.

    “You’re gonna love the freaky freaks at olympic park. They mainly come from Brisbane. I don’t know what that says about Brisbane and QLD in general.”

    you know I totally believe that. way to ruin everything queensland!

    meanwhile yes totally agree with you hazy darlin … storm were playing dirty and st george were playing dirty to match. but intern brownie and I are full of rage that melbourne won’t admit it. hmph.

    bart – YES. HE DID. doesn’t it just … work as a mental image??

  13. sassyJuly 24, 2008

    ps hazy – I had TEARS of laughter at cooper on the footy show. he looked absolutely terrified of mr t. I swear he even had one hand closed into a fist like he was contemplating his ‘fight or flight’ options. bless.

  14. KikiJuly 25, 2008

    Hello flossy enthusiast!! We love u!

  15. HazyJuly 25, 2008

    Awww Cooper and his confused roomie Will awwww. You could really see Coops ugly ear. I bet he cruises Chaddy and Chapel St for all the latest fashion. He really did look scared of MR T. Scared or amused.

    hehehehe Storm (well the CEO who is a bit of an idiot) might be taking legal action against Brown.

    I think St George came out to prove something in that game and it failed. I think they needed to fight and be dirty because of the pink V. They came out with a mission (hurt us) and so did we (hurt Douche bag Soward) and it all came to a head.

    Gaz was trying to prove how committed and tough he was, but it just wasn’t working. I also had to put up with everyone in the stadium saying any French word they knew when he was nearby- yeah I get it, he’s going to France….

    I think I think ST George and the Storm need a bed in to solve all their issues.
    I’m just glad Anthony Quinn wasn’t in the game, cause god knows he can’t afford another hit or nose job.

    P.S. No one was holding Jason Nightingale back and he totally kicked Billy when the bitch was down.

    Maybe the roosters will bring the biff too… i wanna see Willie mason punch Michael Crocker… basically I get many lols from seeing him being knocked out and trying to get back up. I want it to happen every match!

  16. sassyJuly 25, 2008

    aaah see the important difference is that I like flossy nightingale. so he can do whatever he likes, bahah. I am nothing if not tragically biased.

    as for the bed in … you know I think it could work. what do footy boys love more than an opportunity to do something homoerotic? NOTHING.

    we should suggest it to bellamy and brownie.

    BED PEACE! LEAGUE PEACE!

    WHY DIDN’T MY C-BOMB DROP

    I was trying to divert attention to this:

    Billy Slater has an inappropriate dog.

  18. sassyJuly 25, 2008

    yes yes he does. allegedly his name is puggles.

  19. KikiJuly 25, 2008

    if the storm sues Brownie, they sue all of us. NO ONE MESSES WITH OUR INTERN.

  20. AnonymousJuly 25, 2008

    Bahahaha.

    Sassy, being a self confessed Nightingale enthusiast I totally agree with you.

    That man can do whatever he likes- I dont see a problem with that at all. Nothing like good old fashioned bias!

    Besides,I think anyone who was given the opportunity to headbutt Slater would totally jump at the chance…I mean wouldn’t you?
