Re: All Things Sport...

@Zoe7

I do like to watch a little golf, especially when it’s the last hole and a play off.

I barrack for Essendon in afl, shocking Anzac match by Essendon and Sunderland in soccer, although Sunderland always looses.

I rarely watch nrl and don’t have a team, but I like my wallabies and WallyRoos in the men’s and women’s rugby.

Re: All Things Sport...

@jem80 It was a terrible game for Essendon on ANZAC day - I was really quite disappointed but I go for the Lions so I am used to not winning games lol

I don't mind rugby union but more of a league fan Smiley Happy

I do love tennis - watch most of the Grand Slams, Davis Cup and Fed Cup but don't have any real favourite players - do follow the Australian women more than the men these days though.

Re: All Things Sport...

Hi again @Zoe7; long time no see...

My sporadic visits as they've been hopefully don't detract from you knowing I appreciate you and especially our fun chats when I first arrived. I haven't forgotten and still think of them often.

I love sport; since my breakdown though and the problems preceding it, I'd lost that passion and competitive spirit I've been known for most of my life. It's as if the brain said; "I'll just put that on hiatus. No point having passion when it's not necessary"

So, since my recovery has stepped it up a couple of notches, I thought I'd join in and force it into the foreground. 🙂 Better out than in I always say...

I may not watch as much sport on telly as I used to, and my body's round instead of proportionate, but I figure if I can lose a few (hundred) kg's, I could possibly join a table tennis comp which I used to do with my son.

Looking forward to chatting and playing the fool again.

Hugz;

A can-do attitude...

fat lady water ballet.jpg I love water sports too, not quite what I had in mind, but am loving the black toenail polish 🙂

Booyar!!!

Re: All Things Sport...

Love the images @Hope4me and especially love seeing you here again. Hope we can catch up and have some 'fun' again soon (I too remember our initital chats and how much you actually made me laugh Smiley Very Happy)

Re: All Things Sport...

@Zoe7 you must be over the moon re the Champions League. I'll be watching on the 27th and cheering for Liverpool! Is anyone watching the A-league final tonight? @soul @MDT any takers?

Re: All Things Sport...

The semi final was a lot closer than I would have liked @frog and we will have to step it up in the final to win - but I am looking forward to it. It will be tough but we have the players that could win it.

I am not watching the A-league final tonight - don't have a preference as to who wins - what about you?

Re: All Things Sport...

I'm watching the game tonight @Zoe7 I hope the Jets win. I like both teams and was happy to see them get up over the big $ teams - Melbourne City and Sydney FC. I'm actually a Brisbane fan, A league wise, and they had quite a crumby season.

My kids are going to watch it with me and I made some half time slices to have with cocoa. I have to do some ironing, but at least I'll be tuned in to the football.

Agree re the Champions League. It will be tough but I really hope they get up!

Re: All Things Sport...

Thanks for hoping Liverpool get up @frog - we can watch it together Smiley Very Happy

I kina follow Wellington Phoenix - I love Wellington and seeing as we don;t have  team in Tassie I figure Wellington is the closest to me lol

I will hope the Jets win for you seeing as you are going for them tonight  @frog Smiley Very Happy

Re: All Things Sport...

Nah @frog
I am out atm but I may catch it on a TV screen at the bar
I think Sydney fc are robbed lol. I don't like the grand finals system for a league. Call me a snob haha. I hope jets win though because then they can add a fourth stand to their stadium lol

Liverpool are becoming a really good side. Trial and error but they are getting there. I do like their team. But I am Swansea til death haha.

Hope you enjoy the slice and game with your kids @frog

Re: All Things Sport...

@MDT I love to hear of people that are passionate about their team no matter where they are on the ladder (or which division they are in). I feel the same way with Brisbane Lions but I do wish they could get it together a bit more - they have so many talented younger players and I hope they don't lose heart with their losses - I will be watching when they play tomorrow although I suspect it will be a big loss ...such is the life of a loyal supporter lol
