Thats what blogs are for to get a reaction, as I was in Taupo on Friday I was just stating a fact of cost Vs reward, how far do you go to watch them?


I travel for 2 and a half hours to get to the Nix games, watch then game, and then right after the match jump back in my car and drive 2 and a half hours to get back home.

Admittedly i don't get to every game, but i go there to support the team, win, lose, or draw. Thin squad, rough refs and bad discipline have all added to an average start.

But it wasn't that long ago, the Nix could hardly grasp a win, and had made finishing with a draw an artform, but im pretty sure that was the year we were 1 win away from the grand final. Faith.

And who cares about the weather, really. By the time I get down there, i'm not about to let the weather stop me from getting to watch the Nix.

Haven't read through the whole thread but have charliec and/or auskiwi popped in to stick the boot in yet?

Also can someone please sum up the game for me. I am away on work and could not catch the game unfortunately. Cheers.


The Team put the boot into themselves on Friday night very poor effort.  You didnt see the game? Yet you are prepared to put the boot into members of this forum who have a different point of view than you.  Team played well (for the most part against Perth and Melb V) and I can accept a loss when they play well,  on Friday they didnt look like the same team.

Of course,  everyone is allowed an opinion - except of course if it is different to Buffon

No I think I hurt his.  I appear to be his Nemesis.  Makes me feel bad as I hate upsetting the very young or immature

Would rather be young/immature and happy than a miserable bastard like yourself.

haha,  touched a nerve with that one did I.  Im neither miserable nor a bastard,  just have an opinion and I dont accept mediocraty.  I have no problem if for you "trying hard" is good enough, but like the majority of people I expect more from overpaid sportman.  When they play well they will certainly get a well done from me,  however when they play poorly they deserve to be told that its unacceptable.
 
Now if you cant accept that,  dont read the forums,  dont comment on other peoples opinions that you either dont agree with,  or cant cope with.

I think the problem is this doesn't happen. You come on here to slag them off when things aren't going too well, other than that we don't see you.

Im here everyday,  and I certainly say well done when they play well, even when we lose eg Perth/MV. 

Anyway enough of this,  if the team play like crap ill say so,  if you little bleeding hearts dont like that, get some tissues.  Team plays well they get a pat on the back,  play poorly they should get a kick up the ass   once again - Simply really

Does anyone else remember there being Italians throwing flags around on the pitch to promote the Italian festival at halftime of this match?

There was a group of about 4-6 of them weren't there?  Standing quite close to the crowd but a bit further up from Aisle 23.
They twirled the flags around for a few minutes, tossed some up in the air like pizza bases.
I can't remember what happened next because then I looked down and realised I was only in my underwear.
