[Loz#1]

TCM channel is addictive.

 

[disco_dave]

ok loz your forgiven, only cause you were oh so close to accidently watchin it...

I new it was on cause the Australian Captian (Brent Livermore) comes from my small little town. So the town was in hyper mode!! proud town on the loose....

Er yeah, but we live in Australia. We're just supporting our team.

 

[Sweetless_Angel]

yeah we do live in Australia but we shouldnt just suport Australians.
When Australia plays England in the rugby who do u support

 

[disco_dave]

Australia of course... i do like to support countries like Iraq and Afganistan when they are playing, but they dont play hockey and it was Aust VS Holland this morning. thats what i am hyped about!!

I live here and i will support our teams all i can.

 

[Loz#1]

yeah we do live in Australia but we shouldnt just suport Australians.

I can't believe I'm even refuting this. Would you like it to be spelt out in plain english?

WE SUPPORT THE AUSTRALIAN TEAM BECAUSE WE ARE AUSTRALIANS. All this thread is doing is celebrating an Aussie victory, don't ruin the moment.

When Australia plays england, I support Australia. I don't see what that has to do with anything.

 

[Sweetless_Angel]

i cant believe it i give up

 

[disco_dave]

top idea

GO the Kooka's

 

[Loz#1]

i cant believe it i give up

oh boohoo, what did you really expect?

 

[Sweetless_Angel]

u guys dont understand just because we are aussies doesnt really mean we have to support them

 

[Loz#1]

u guys dont understand just because we are aussies doesnt really mean we have to support them

I understand that. I don't understand why you had to dampen the spirit and say it in a thread like this.

 

[Sweetless_Angel]

because i am talking about Sports

 

[Loz#1]

Gee, can't argue with that logic

 

[disco_dave]

u guys dont understand just because we are aussies doesnt really mean we have to support them

but i choose to support them. No we dont HAVE to, but i do... like many many other people in this country. its all about chocie. i understand that

anyway i was on a high after watching them... but thanx sweetless (how approiate) for deflating my excitiment and bringing me back down to my small town Grafton...

I still think the ozzie hockey team is the BEST

 

[Sweetless_Angel]

no i am not saying our teams are great but other teams have had it harder to get to where all the aussies teams are today

 

[disco_dave]

alright opion taken. i can see that... and i never thought u sad our teams were great, you were actually downgrading them.

the reason i love the hockey team so much is that they all (the players) have to work full time jobs in order to keep their position in the Aust team. They recieve VERY little finanical support from any organisation...

Brent (the captian) works in Sydeny whilst the team lives in Perth most of the time. Because he has a job there with the Forshore Authority and doesnt want to rish lossing work by moving... compare that to swimming!!

but yes we do have it a little easier than other countries... and harder than some. Euopean countries
