R20 v CCM Fri 21st Feb 9:30pm SS2 - Outhouse->Penthouse

Had this really scary nightmare - like I guess most nightmare's are - but like, this one was extra scary. We had to play at this AFL football stadium somewhere in the Wellington central railway yards - weather was appalling - was so hot you could hardly breath. Temperatures racing into the early 20's - and even more alarming, there was no wind at all. Don't know why we were playing there - think the Petone Football Stadium was closed for terrace extensions due to the membership demands after last seasons championship win, or something like that. 

Anyway - this Wellington Central railway yards stadium nightmare gets worse. Desperate for beer in the searing 21 degree heat  - all I could buy inside the stadium was Tui - like a little plastic bottle of Tui for almost 10 bucks. Chips were a dollar each -  and the other multiple food choice option was a pie wrapped in plastic, a sure sign of meat absence, and expiry date questionability.  It gets worse - when I found my seat, it turns out we were playing Manchester City. WTF. I tried to wake myself up - you know what it's like when you realise its probably just a nightmare, but you can't snap yourself out of it. We were wearing the Waikato Chiefs strip and City had some white with red stripe kit going on, which apparently one of their historical feeder clubs used to wear. Everytime I took a Tui bathroom break - City scored - like they scored from everywhere - ended up about 5-nil or something. Bit vague about that. Woke up sweating so much. Phew - it's good to be awake again.

Ifill tweet: "For those clamouring to get back on the bandwagon there is no room!"

Uppercut yourself while you are at it and I think the ledger is squared. I think you'll also find Paul Ifill at home on the couch surfing these forums awaiting his apology too

 

My guess is that they pretty much make that shit up using some random algorithms that bear f*ck all resemblance to reality and you should use your own eyes and brain to make your own decisions about who the important players are. 

In fact I'm tempted to banstick anyone posting those stupid wordclouds unless it's for some lolz.

So do we feel slightly better about this game after Heart bested Brisbane?

This game being the 4-1 win over CCM? Because I'm pretty sure we all feel fine about that game.

Whoops wrong thread. No the other game we don't talk about. Although this game ought to make us feel better about that game also.

So just to clarify, you're posting in this thread about that game, wanting to talk about the game we don't talk about, but also wanting us to know that this game should make us feel better about that game? That's what's happening here?

Is this like "the Scottish play"?

For us isn't it "the Ring of Dirt"? ... which of course never happened.
