Does anyone care?  ? It's a Football not a rugby forum. |

This happens every time someone want to bring it up, and doesn't help people who aren't massive fans on the sport we know we love football but there's room for other sports, it seems this hostility only comes in with the Central Coast Rays, I don't see people running onto the cricket threads (welll there was a bit on the world cup) and bagging out cricket saying this is a football forum same goes for rugby league, or music or weather. Get over it people, it's on the right section of the forum, if you don't like Rugby you don't have to look at it, I don't look at Rugby League threads because I don't like the sport but if people want a space to talk about it they can have it.

well said omni.
IMO, it doesn't matter WHAT sport it is - it's great to see the coast getting national recognition.
And arguably the more teams we have to support, the more spectators will get into 'support mode', get used to having national teams, and will cross over to the other codes.

(sorry to Dibo for the lack of full-stops) it's because this f***ing muppet 'theman' is the only person who ever posts on it, and he only posts about rugby. quite frankly, if it were you posting on it i would have less issue, and you would probably stop posting on it if nobody paid any attention. this tool keeps on with it, and only it, and quite frankly i'm gonna tonk him if he keeps it up. |

Yer i mean i did watch the wallabies match at 12:30 on sunday morning but yer basically wat dibo said was what i was refering too. If he posted on football aswell i wouldn't have a problem but he's only posting rugby all the time.

I think it may be a forum regular going under an alias as a wind-up? Either way I don't mind... I just like making fun of rugby  When I first moved here I didn't even know there were two types of rugby; league and union. How strange is it that they have TWO sports where they run with the ball to the end of the field... and back... and bash into each other?! |

I like rugby -used to play it actually. However last weekend I was watching USyd v Easts on ABC and it struck me that it's a lot like watching U/16s play soccer - full backs just boot it to each other for a while until somebody runs it out of sheer boredom  |

(sorry to Dibo for the lack of full-stops) Omni, I get your point, but as Dibo said later, 'theman' only posts about Rugby. It is like he sees the Coast community on this forum and wants to spam the rugby onto us. While it is noble of the Mods and the regulars on this Forum to accept posts about other sports, I wonder how long a post about *cough* 'sokkah' would last on an NRL forum, or an AFL forum? (even a post from one of their regulars) If the poster didn't set the post into an asbestos suit, I'm thinking all you'd see is charred remains from all the flaming.  Note to self: Must try registering on the Canterbury Bulldogs forum and having a go mentioneing Football! |

Pete, your assumption below I can say with 100% certainty is wrong. " I wonder how long a post about *cough* 'sokkah' would last on an NRL forum, or an AFL forum? (even a post from one of their regulars) If the poster didn't set the post into an asbestos suit, I'm thinking all you'd see is charred remains from all the flaming." www.leagueunlimited.com has a "sokkah" forum that attracts plenty of attention with no issues from the majority of the members.

Regards, Fair enough then..... Given the rabid response one sees about Football from AFL and NRL media commentators I was expecting the same animosity and the same old catchcries (game for pooftahs and wogs) that I've copped a million times before. |

Adz , great photo shop !! Its looks like Peter Steele or Adam Winter!
I thought this was a " Other stuff" thread?
The Rays will be great for the Mariners and vice versa
John McKay has done a great job considering how tough the coast is.
Anything to keep that awful NRL off the coast the better!
