Its a nickname,  and he is from the country, but now a ****ty slicker.

sounds pretty reasonable to me, moonie

Great that footy is back, but personally, with the virus still with us for ages, I am finding it very hard to get excited. 
However, it looks like the TV is going to get a bigger workout.

Sadly I have to agree Mr. Leg. To me going to the footy is 80% of the enjoyment. Not sure how I will adapt with only 20% to work with. The up side is in early June we are still in the running for a finals berth. How often does that happen?

If we blow the next 4 games it is probably curtains for 2020. 

Hopefully Weid finally makes it as a consistent key forward, or Jackson steps up to help, even though he is young and slight.

Our very own Uncle Bitter has been at it again!

Bah  Moonie !! Your suggestion that I would be involved in such a bumbling and amateurish escapade is insulting to say the least.

All ….err ….. "services" associated with The Manor are provided with the utmost discretion. 

Having read that article,   God life must be complicated or should that be interesting for some people.

$5,000 is a large amount of money, just to get your rocks off !

Looking forward to the football, can not help it, guess I am a bit like the bloke wanting to give away $5,000,

A little bit strange,     the wife does not understand my obsession either. Whatever you are talking about !

Go Dees

Here’s one for the literate among us.

While boundary riding The Manor and half listening to the radio I heard a reporter give the latest  on Majak Daw’s “pectorials” !!!

 

Ah Uncle and others.. so good to see you all emerge from the "Scourge of Humanity" Ah, No its not living next door to a Filth or Carltank supporter! I just wonder Uncle, now we are out of lockdown have you let the servants who do as they do at the beautiful down town "Manor" been allowed to surface for some clean country air!?? 

Wishing you all well! 

Fence!

Apparently Finland just closed its borders, so no one will be crossing the finish line....

 

 

 

I'll see myself out.

Debatable.

I am disappointed that discourse on this site has been reduced. While football has been in shutdown there has been ample opportunity for greater analysis of the more arcane aspects of the true followers. Those who usually are able to recognise the significance of personal performance and behaviour are now sadly lacking. Perhaps the linkage between this self flagellation and MFC performance can now be examined. Some mathematical genius who I think can only be resident in this thread could perhaps develop the appropriate formula.

Interest in match results (I'm) X interest in team selection (it) divided by the amount of alcohol consumed (ac) less the number of posts made (np). Does  consideration need to be made for number of staff, manservants, etc engaged. There are many variables.

Perhaps it may fall into the abyss of speculative misadventure when the game is actually again played.

It is very simple dpositive  this the haven to escape of our usual poor performance. No games no need for an escape venue. 

It annoys me that airlines are emailing me claiming "we're all in this together", but when my suitcase was 2kg over last year I was all on my own

If the low scoring of last night becomes the norm, the game will be shooting itself in the foot.

Last night was similar to a soccer match.

However, it was the first game after a long break and it was slippery according to the players. On that basis we need to wait a few rounds to see if it was the new norm.

Ahhh thanks OD I may have become more dependent upon this haven due to poor performance on other threads.

Discussion of potential teams, historical references, and the interminable ratings were just getting too much.

Exactly my point dp. I think there are a number of reasons but I am struggling to get enthusiastic about the return of football. Watched the last quarter On Thursday night and zero last night. Today it will a radio game for me.

Mmmmm interesting analysis.

Not sure about the idea of a formula for insanity though.

Just as in …….. "close personal encounters" ( corolla virus euphemism ) spontaneity achieves the optimum results.

Until the crowds are actually allowed back in (even by the 1/4 rule), I would argue for authenticity's sake the fake crowd noise should be replaced by forum-pose notification beeps.

Bennell kicks a goal 'bloit, bloit, bloit, bloit, bloit, bloit'.

Would provide a very easy-to-follow baseline for your formulas, too.  Just need to do a bit of coding to separate 'self-flagellation' as a data point unrelated to BBO, and you've got yourself a tracking algorithm.

Oh dear. I think MFC performance and self flagellation are too inextricably linked. One bocomes an alternative for the other.

One has been in hiatus while the other can continue unabated.

If we could only harness the energy of one to the other the world might be a better place .
