I heard the rossies didn't turn up. What's the real truth?

Not my opinion Heshs, just observing that it's a trend that appears to be creeping into the games. Needs to be made a yellow card offence or something. It does happen off the ball after all.

Subiaco junior is in great form. Sleeps all day, cries all night. Still living on Australian time, so he does.

At least they cared enough to try to put him off. If the other 13 had have impeded him aswell we couldn't really complain about the commitment displayed. Basically it doesn't seem to matter if you're a boll*x or a gentleman; if you run the length of the pitch to take a penalty you're considered fair...

Great idea for getting all the fans together in one spot. Should make more noise that way.
