Miss GG's ITC has to go to FIFA for clearance because the club she joined is classed as professional (senior men's team is semi-pro). 15 year old Kiwi kid playing amateur football in Oz. FFS.
Things that piss you off...
my new phone's autocorrect. I type "ans" and instead of changing it to "and" it changes it to "Ann's"
But the worst one is it changes "misunderestimate" to "underestimate"

Players in any level of the game who make bad tackles deliberately.
Hear people talk about guys they halved on purpose, revenge tackles etc...
I've never been that kind of player - dragged the odd player down by the shirt, mouthed off here and there but never tried to deliberately demolish someone.
After being on the receiving end of a late, from behind tackle AFTER scoring on the first Saturday of the season, I'm now on crutches and out of football for 8 weeks. $$$ spent on doctors visits, sick days I'd rather use for my kids days off used up, a week behind on my work and huge pressure added to my partners life with me out of action.
If you're a self confessed "aggressive" player or think a tackle should "warn someone" then think again. You're impacting on peoples lives, enjoyment of the sport and general health.

Cheers. Severe sprain, ligament damage and at least 8 weeks without playing.
Doc reckons it'd be easier if it was a fracture - most painful injury I've ever had and I've had a lot.

I would like to catch up with that bloke again one day.
Trouble is, half the Fwits that tackle like this are under the delusion that they are playing in the EPL. Just stupid behaviour. Never got a broken leg but did my left knee twice and ended up with a 6 inch scar and a ligament removed. And my own surgeon also said i would have been better off with a leg break on the first time.
I knew a guy who took delight in trying to break peoples legs, he would target the most talented player in the other team and just go for him, shouldn't be allowed to play.

It's just a horrible way to go about playing the game. Some people are wired wrong...

Sick leave over as of tomorrow
Mentioning football around non-football fans and the very first thing they bring up is simulation.
Next time someone talks about rugby around me I'm just going to fly into a rant about the tackle-ball rules

Yea when that comes up I mention two things:
1) its a blight on the sports culture, but doesn't devalue the sport, its just insanely tough to stamp out efficiently.
2) its happening more and more in league and rugby. Over reacting to stuff or faking pain to milk penalties, so not just a football issue.
I hate it when people say its called soccer because that's what it was called first, to that I say so frickin what, names for lots of things in life change, the official name for the sport now is football.

Foot update - not just ligament damage and sprain, also a broken navicular bone. Moon-boot ahoy!

Fixed.
Two week long headaches and now feeling sick.
Oh and when the meds the Dr prescribes make me feel much worse than I did before I took them
I'd be sending you in for an MRI aftrr 2 weeks of a headache.

In summary: today, the world pisses me off.
Having to wait for landlords to get around to dealing with repairs and maintenance issues. Don't know if buying our own place will be a possibility for us in the foreseeable future but would be nice to be able to just sort out these things straight away ourselves one day.

That's exactly why we first bought, at least if you're your own landlord and something doesn't get fixed you only have yourself to blame.
I'm beginning to think that people should have to sit more stringent drivers licensing before driving in Wellington. Drivers are terrible throughout NZ but its made worse by the narrow and winding roads. I live on a fairly narrow and winding street and you get three issues, one is people stop abruptly for oncoming traffic when there is space for them, another is people put their foot down and go through narrow and windy section even though they're blind to oncoming traffic, and the last is if there is only room for one car and you're going through it because you reach it well before the person going in the opposite direction they will come through as well and lay on their horn. Actually that last one there is one person who lives somewhere in my neighbourhood who does it, most people are pretty considerate with each other (i.e. let the person who reaches the narrow part through first and give precedence to people going uphill).
Yesterday I was behind someone turning left on to a two lane road, the person in front of me waited until both lanes were clear before turning into the nearest lane. Sure, wait if you want to turn into the far lane but why wait until both lanes are clear if your turning into the nearest lane? I've seen that a few times as well.
The standard of driving in this country is appalling.
Pissed off that a person who works for another govt agency goes over my head to daddy to try get something after I have already told them no!
(Thankfully daddy backed me up and I was right not to give that information out)

Driving up to the East Coast, one sees all sorts of different cars and drivers, for example, I saw a Mercedes, Holdens, Fords, toyotas, Mitzis and several stupid Bastards whom had no regard for my car, wife and two kids. If ever I needed a James Bond built in car extra, I could have used the small rockets on several idiotic drivers. Honestly, there is nothing wrong with driving 100ks in a 100k area. You don't need to go 70 when the road is clear on your side.

Was a bit frustrated the other day but think it was more the builder they use being unreliable and difficult to get hold of than them not dealing with things. Credit where it's due, they have now agreed to some things we didn't expect to get (and didn't even ask for), sounds like the builder has talked them into some extras to make his job bigger. Fingers crossed it gets done now and doesn't flow through to a rent increase!

But the worst one is it changes "misunderestimate" to "underestimate"
On the plus side, now predictive text knows when I type "fudgeing" the next word is likely to be "autocorrect"
