....you complete bastards

It really hadn't been my idea to break into an ongoing football commentary.

This is right now. And predicting what I'm going to care about next is,as yet, an undefined science.

So as long as we are going to talk about shit. Lets discuss the body of command of the biggest impediment to football being fun. The NRL.

I think there is every chance I am about to summon levels of judgement and exspress same in colloquialisms that may make the hard core Catholics blush.

Tune out now if you haven't had your fish fingers yet.

The distance to here, not only chronologicaly, but in how different the game is just makes me want to puke.

The players on the field that's fine. Footy is nearly Footy except......

The grand final is at night....well sort of night.....the NRL are even confused as to when night and day occur...

It will probably soon be announced soon that in an effort to gain greater coverage in the mardi gras we will have the Twilight Grand Final. Cheap word play.......shit sorry bout that......as you know not really my style.

Anyhow, video refs, pointless scrums cause you feed to the hooker now. Video Refs, Paul Vautin, Matty Johns loosing it all for having the balls to admit what he did.......

Many things......&*&£@#$NRL

Allow me the indulgence of focusing on just two.

Don't ask me to explain from which pit of personal depravity I summoned empathy for the following groups of fans. I generally find both crowds repugnant to the core....................on principle, socially and hygienically.........

However....without doubt on both recent occasions when the nazis down at Phillip St decided to adjust history and the current competition with its punishments for corporate activity........

You attacked the very core of the only thing that matters for a leauge club......the Fans.

The Bulldogs and Storm fans were so wronged.

And for just doing the only thing you want them to do........

Show allegiance to the club.

The rest of the relationship, past step one, is basic make their money your money stuff.

The sections of football history that have been erased because the NRL is only good for exerting authourity in hindsight and secret investigations. Its just wrong.

You would have thought that the corporate giant. One who owes its exsistence to one demographic. Rugby League fans.

One which survives on the spirit of the Greatest Game of All.

You would have thought such a body would have had some loyalty..............look-uuhl-tee. To be loyal.

Anyhow...had some loyalty to the club and alerted them when their breach was first noticed.

Whichever way.....as the corporate body of the game you are just that.

You are not the game.

The game is played by clubs.

The clubs are made by fans.

Impose all the CORPORATE sanctions you like.

However. Never touch that which is not yours...........

The GAME belongs to the Fans.

Mr Gallop would you kindly fuck off from todays press conference and find something useful to do.....

If its just the TV you love.....I'm pretty certain you and Phil Gould in a box together would rate well....

The GAME belongs to the Fans.

.......coming up. Why I still find 12 inches of black grooves vinyl so darn groovy.
