Well hello. It's almost been a year since I posted my last little piece of right-wingism to do with sport. A lot has happened in a year including taking up painting (www.tartycreative.com), ended relationships, world cup wins, moving house, watching Jordan Speith at the Australian Open and so on.... I figured since it's the beginning … Continue reading Almost a bloody year!
hey y'all, I'm having the time of my life at the moment. Cricket, rugby, basketball, golf, cricket, rugby, league and cricket and rugby. I've been to two of the Black Caps' games - the England massacre and the nail-biter v Australia. Fantastic. Rugby has started, referees are worse than last year if possible, but it's … Continue reading Loving the Sport
Photo Courtesy of nfl.com and espn.com Some years I just don't care. Other years I'm truly excited. The NFL Playoffs are awesome. Some close games, some terrible refereeing decisions, some political inferences, great hits and great plays. It seems refereeing can be bad in all games. Anyway, I will be watching the NFC and AFC … Continue reading NFL Climax!!!
The last week in the news has bought back some interesting memories and feelings of satisfaction to some extent. My time in Canterbury started well and full of promise. However, through some of my own doing and some sociopathic behaviour on behalf of some in positions of power it ended very badly. As a result … Continue reading Interesting Week for Canterbury Golf
I see the ten finalists have been named for New Zealand's Favourite Sporting Moment at The Halberg Awards. They are (with sarcastic or sappy gushing commentary) Brendon McCullum – scores a record 302 against India (BLACKCAPS v India, 2nd Test, Basin Reserve, Wellington) Marvelous effort that. He scores 302 in front of his dad and … Continue reading New Zealand’s favourite sporting moment
So thieves broke into 56 test All Black, Leon MacDonald's home and stole some of his test jerseys. I heard people say, "who cares" and the like. I care. Leon's life's work is Rugby. The pinnacle of which is no doubt his All Black stint. The mementos of which are his test jumpers. Imagine if … Continue reading Filthy thief bastards
So, two stories of underdogged determination and another straight from the Fred Allen school of needling. I'm not a football fan by any means but have been thoroughly impressed with the run of the Auckland FC to third at the Club World Cup. What gives this rabble of part time soccer types who had to … Continue reading Recap/Thoughts/General…..
Sorry you haven't heard from me in a while - my laptop broke down and I finally have a new one. Perhaps you're not sorry. Anyway, I'm back to annoy and charm. Just to let you know I'm back as a member of a golf club and I even practiced today!! But, I forgot my … Continue reading Jesus – bloody laptops
Well not really. On a course that hosted the Australian Open last week and had an average score of about 72 (1 over), American Jordan Speith shoots 63 to win by plenty. With just 8 players under par at the end of the week, this was more akin to a major championship than years past. … Continue reading Speith goes mental
