We were on the wrong end of a 5 -1 scoreline today ... we were pretty much terrible .. I got our one goal and in all frankness i might never score a better one , i ran from inside our half and kept going .. I only mention it as it brought us to 2 -1 at half time I thought we would go on to win it .. how wrong could i be .. I guess i will leave it at that .. we aren't that bad .. tactically we are all over the place though which is deeply frustrating at times .

I did a blog a few weeks back about sport here .. knowing a bit more now I was thinking i would write a little more ..

I never mentioned the "Super 14" in the last blog, but it is definitely worth a mention as it is pretty much the champions league of southern hemisphere rugby union. Teams from Oz, NZ and SA all play in league format. The sydney team are called the warratahs, canbnerra have a team called the ACT brumbies. Most of the games seem to be played on friday evening at around 5 in the evening, everyone rocks down from work and watches the game which means the atmosphere is great.

The AFL is well underway now, the swans have had a terrible start to the season but had a great win last night against geelong, Tadgh Kennelly was back from injury and was brillant, the boys in the commentary box reckon he is one of the best players in the game. After last nights game they interviewed him, he was in great form, there has been trouble with the sod in the stadium and the interviewer asked tadgh if he was worried about the state of the pitch tadgh said "I think the pitch is great .. I have played in a hell of alot worse in Ireland" the commentary boys were loving it. Just a quick note on setanta, I think he plays with Carlton which is a melbourne team, there not doing well and I think he was starting but was dropped for this weekend's game.

The NRL is the other big league which I am slowly coming round to, my local team "Easts" aka the Sydney Roosters are doing okay, hopefully i am going to see them in the next few weeks ..
The best thing about the NRL is a a tv programme on thursday nights called the footy show .. basically four of the lads just taking the piss for two hours but at the same time addressing all the weeks footy issues .. I think it is brillo ..
