Hey Bertus… I never mentioned a premiership (that would be a big mozz!). It was a great game, and even more amazing on the replay. I don’t know how either team kept up such intensity for four quarters. But I fear that I may die of a massive heart attack one day while I’m watching the footy.

it was a good game. And in the same vein as Cousins, good to see Gardiner doing well after his fallout with the WCE.

Well, how about ‘em Chuggle? Nobody ever won a premiership in July mate. It was a great game though – one of the best ever. Quite a last 15 minutes too.

“A couple of years ago it was, got the FA Cu………. Oh, You’re not talking Chelsea”

Lol — real footy Rob, not that boring pretend game – actually, aren’t Chelsea known as the Blues over there ? and if so, why aren’t you a Carlton supporter I sort of follow Liverpool, I think because they had the first Australian player to go over there, Craig Johnson — well, first that I know of anyway.

“I can’t watch it because Australia didn’t have TV before 1987.”

Touche !!

I’m going to be in heaven for the next month or so — footy and cricket on tv at the same time, it’s a good thing my wife’s in Thailand for a few weeks – last time this happened she was threatening to ring a divorce lawyer….

“Mind you Rob, at least I can watch our last premiership — are you able to say the same ? ;P”

A couple of years ago it was, got the FA Cu………. Oh, You’re not talking Chelsea , thing is, with the Bulldogs last premiership I can’t watch it because Australia didn’t have TV before 1987 :p

Thanks DBoP and Bertus — looks like some late nights coming up for yours truly.

I’m living in the past too Rob and confessions — every now and then I put on the 1995 Grand Final video to remind myself of when we had a good side

Mind you Rob, at least I can watch our last premiership — are you able to say the same ? ;P

“He had to get a Tatt to prove his English-ness.”

You play for who ever will have you. Isn’t Andrew Symonds English? Fortunately for him he was good enough for the Aussies.

Robert Croft is Welsh too, Gerraint Jones however, you’d think he was Welsh?? From Wiki:

“is an England cricketer of Welsh extraction but raised in Australia. ”

“(won an MBE for his effort apparently)”

Yeah, that was pretty sad, How come Warney hasn’t got a gong?

I knew you’d say that, living in the past, that’s what you’re doing

LOL, the present and recent past hasn’t been too kind to us – who can blame me?

England and Wales cricket team? I didn’t know that, i just thought it was the ECB ie england only.

Simon Jones was great last time (won an MBE for his effort apparently), but he got injured before the India test tour a few years ago and i don’t think he’s played since then.
