My apologies, Midfielder,
Yes somehow I did miss it as I now have to share my computer with my dear wife .. I can’t sit at the computer as much as I like to anymore.. maybe that’s a good thing for those unfortunate followers of the team with those red shirts with the side line markings running up the back of their guernsey. Due to the on going dispute between the groundsman and the laundry manager for rostered days (on & off); as they laying out the strip to dry at Old Trafford; opposed to groundsman remarking the side lines on the same day as it seems ..

However, back to your post … THAT MY LAD IS VERY INTERESTING.! ! So what can we make of it ? Marn Grook is not the oldest code in the World and not the first code introduced to Australia and proof that the first game in 1858 was in fact a Rugby match or the game of Harrow Football .. Yes, I think Roy Masters has been vindicated…

Have to hand over the computer to the cheese&kisses back later…. ;(

Errr Guys just checked last years records in the EPL…it was after a slow start on the weekend that ManU defeated Bolton (ahh Dejavu) that the Reds discovered true form. Nice of Chelski to keep that top spot warm for us
Now just checked again and yep MV still top of the pops on the only OFFICIAL HAL website heres a link : http://www.a-league.com.au/

Have you missed my post above as I have seen no comment …….. just repeating in case you missed it ………

“From the web site of Newcastle Hunter Rugby Union, on their History is the following opening statement ………”

Rugby was first played in Sydney in 1829, 45 years before Australia’s first administrative body (Southern Union) was formed. Unions were formed in Scotland (1873); Ireland (1875); Wales (1888); New Zealand (1892) & South Africa (1889) ”

Rugby first played in Sydney Hmmmmmmmmmmmm 1829 thats let me see 2008 - 1829 is 186 years of rugby ….WOW

KB, not to mention Tottenham in last place and almost certain to be relegated unless something dramatic changes - and this despite spending more than nearly all other clubs including Chelsea on transfers - I haven’t enjoyed the start of the season this much in ages

Urgent Attention: Dave

I slept like a baby last night, and upon awakening knowing that SFC are on the top of the HAL; thanks to the vigilance of that remarkable young man Slippery Jim, burning the midnight candle, with his relentless emails to the people who ever they are with the responsibility of recording table standings. To show them of their grave errors of the true understanding of the rules.. But then to find that, Chelsea FC are on top of the EPL totally dominating Stoke.. Hmm and looking further down the table I saw a lesser impressive team in 11th spot .. At this rate, it’s hard to imagine that Man U will make any real contribution to Footballing excellence this year..

Dave, let me check the rules again…

Highest goal difference; EVEN
Highest number of goals scored; EVEN
Highest number of points accumulated in matches between the teams concerned; EVEN
Highest goal difference in matches between the teams concerned; EVEN
Highest number of goals scored in matches between the teams concerned; EVEN
Lowest number of red cards accumulated; SFC 2 MV 3
Lowest number of yellow cards accumulated; N/A
Toss of a coin. N/A

Nope nothing about alphabetical order.

Wait dont go to bed with such crazy thoughts in your head it wont be good for you!!
Look MV aren’t dirty just ask the Scottish One although his response to that very question was translated from Scottish to Costa Rican and then English What was that movie…Lost in Translation.
Anyway its an obvious conspiracy by the FFA to allow Sydenee to make the GF…it wont work. Just checked again and yep MV still tops the table as a result of M being closer to A than S is closer to A…got that…good settled

KB, and here the Vics were, thinking they could get away with being the dirtiest club in the league, with Dave and otheres crowing about playing best with ten men etc, well they were wrong, dead wrong.
I am awaiting a response to my letter of complaint to the A-League, it is only a matter of time before they correct their table blunder, and possibly revoke the Vics license for playing like thugs in the Gentlemans Game

urgent attention Dave,

Precisely Slippery Jim you have nailed it… SJ I salute you … no possible argument against your reasoning and if I may add one should also take note of the longitude and Latitude of both cities and it does not take a Magellan to work out which city is closest to the equator… being that we are higher up on the globe as well ..

Slippery Jim — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 08:46:44 +0000

Dave, sorry but I must side with KB. Official or not, the table is wrong. Based on the current A-League rules, if even on points the following decides the highest league ranking (in order from first to last):

If this was the last day of the regular season Sydney would win the Premier’s Plate.

Therefore KB is quite right - we (SFC) have been robbed of our official position in the ladder! I am composing a suitably ascerbic letter to the FFA forthwith

Koala Bear — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 03:53:52 +0000

Norm,
yes indeed, but unfortunately he (Kennett) is the president of the Hawthorn Grookies and not the Bengal Lancers.. If only he were he would have been only too familiar with the “Khyber-Pass” and quick passage ensuite with the Uzbek’s b-b- goat’s penis in hand .. And if it is Kennett volunteering to drive the bus as we are all too busy now with the 2018 raffle ticket sales, I am sure it will work itself out in the long run….

Errr my alphabet always puts M before S…therefore in view of having a much better team MV being well ahead of SFC and this is reflect in the OFFICIAL table on the HAL website.

BTW We are giving every else a chance by only playing with 10 men.

Koala Bear — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 01:36:23 +0000

Dave,
Sorry lad, you’re looking at the wrong table; as we the SFC supporters being the first club in the inaugural HAL season first to sign on and the first champions the table should reflect that .. (sorry for the typos)

But the table is correct…

“Just for now, I reckon a lot of Australians would be completely bemused if any Australian club team were to be beaten by a team from…………where is it again? (ignorance is bliss).”

YOu know. I’ve been defending Australia about being an insular society. You’re not helping with statements like that. Uzbekistan are a rising Asian football nation and Bunyodkor have a lot more financial resources then Adelaide United ever will. They also have a former world player of a year in Rivaldo. This ain’t going to be easy.

Koala Bear — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 23:48:34 +0000

Norm and Jimbo,
Hmm quite a conundrum .. Yes I can see if we send the bus to Uzbekistan, than we may not get back in time for Brissie (Socceroos) .. As someone from the deep south feels that a FIFA world cup fixture is less important akin to a Samoa vs India Grooky fixture .. We may have to reconsider our position ie the worth of the two events and their importance..

Lads do we, and of course with Adams permission, chase after the b-b-qued Uzbecks penis and the $6 million prise for the FIFA WC Club tournament; opposed to the counterpart in Grooky terms, of an all drinks on the house, pie and peas, at the Hawthorn Pub; the tab picked up by Jeff Kennett, with the voucher prise worth some $10 at any Melbourne Myer’s store?

Or do we chase the leopard’s testicle soup, with the $10 million for the FIFA WC fixture qualification 2010, akin to its counterpart of the Clayton’s Grooky international prize of a seafood platter and the tandoori served with yogurt and all the lamingtons you can eat along the way, with a free season ticket inclusive of the 2009 Marn Grook fixtures.. plus the grand final toss in the centre square… ?

Well I am no longer sure lads.. But as sure as the sun will set over Uzbekistan, Doris will want the B-B-Qued Uzbekistan penis on her plate.. I await for your decision lads… Millster would know, he wrote the bloody article .. Here’s another fine mess he has gotten us into…

Just checked the paper this morning and yes the 2009 HAL Champions are still on top even though they reverted to their 2007-2008 form yesterday. Did you notice that we are giving every one else a chance by just playing with 10 men each game! We seem to play better with 10 so l’m hoping the Scottish One will just send out 10 vs Perth

MC
2008 Lowest National TV audience for a GF for many years (Is it the lowest since the code went national in early 1990s? and almost 1 million down from 2005 telecast). It seems all codes have some challenges ahead.

I predicted that the RL Finals would get between 25 - 30k due to the drawing power of the teams involved so it was no surprise to me that Cronull v Storm only got 27k, but I was surprised at the 30k + for the Manly game. As every RL fan knows, Manly fans are notoriuosly bad travellers so to see that many there was good in my opinion.

Norm,
I know things have been slow and Big Bad Bazza and the boys didn’t sell too many Socceroos lamingtons at the O’Marngrook’s big day out yesterday either.

But hey, somebody’s got to drive the Socceroos team bus and that’s why I’m trying to get back as fast as possible to organise another prawn night at the CRSL.

Doris says keep your hands off her personal things or else . . .

Norm — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 12:23:34 +0000

sorry jimbo…its just that the raffle ticket sales are a bit slow…and KB says its either another trip to Tashkent or a garage sale of Doris’s personal items the morning of the Quatar match…

By: jimbo

jimbo — Sun, 28 Sep 2008 12:17:13 +0000

KB and Norm,
make up your bloody minds!

We’ve loaded up the bus and the band wagons and headed across Asia for the Gold Coast and then Brissy for the next big one against the Guitaries at Suncorp and now you tell me we’ve got to turn around and head back to Tashkent for United’s big game.

Mate, I’ve had a gutful of goat’s penis and Pimbo turning the team bus into a Dutch oven thank you very much . . .

thanks for the kind word… You are a gentleman and a scholar.. But of course we are NSW lads .. Norm Viddi is looking for a reliable bus driver, no licence required, just local knowledge of Uzbeckastan restrauants and 500 (cards) .. Are you interested lad..??

Dave,
We have just had a media blackout from Melbourne .. Some sort of a technical hitch announcement coming across on the TV screen with a static noise; are you OK ?? All that we are getting now is a strange sound that sounds like a cat meowing .. Check it out.. Maybe it’s Towser playing funny buggers again .. What do you make of it..? Ah wait Ernie has come back on .. Oh no we lost him again.. There seems to be some shouting going on in the background in Portuguese; I can’t quite make it out… Oh dammit ! TV screen has gone blank again ..
