..... for all of his ability in goal and his history with the Avs winning I have a real hard time not being disgusted by him and his sons. He does not seem like a very nice person, in fact the complete opposite. 6-1 win first up is nice way to start the year since they finished last... will it last with such a young team and an average defence. How long until Roy angry nature start to wear off and grate on the players? From wiki... Roy was arrested for domestic violence on Sunday, October 22, 2000... On January 19, 2007, Saguenay Police investigated an incident involving Roy and co-owner of the Chicoutimi Saguenéens, Pierre Cardinal. There were reports that Roy threw punches at the co-owner after he intervened in order to disperse a crowd of hockey fans that were blocking the Remparts bus after a game between the two clubs. A complaint for assault had been filed against Roy who faced possible assault charges in the matter. Montreal newspaper Le Journal de Montréal reported that Roy later apologized to the victim by telephone.[18][19] In a press conference following a Remparts game on January 21, 2007, Roy said that he was "suffering prejudice on the part of the media" and believed that he was not guilty of the incident. He then questioned his future as head coach and co-owner of the team, even considering resigning from his duties.[20] On January 25, 2007, Cardinal announced that he removed his complaint against Roy, before Roy made a press conference about his future in the Remparts, where he announced he will stay coach and co-owner of the team.[21][22] On March 22, 2008, in Chicoutimi, Quebec, Roy was involved in another on-ice incident during Game 2 of a first-round playoff series against the rival Saguenéens. Late in the second period, in which the Saguenéens were leading 7-1, a brawl started and Remparts goaltender Jonathan Roy, who is also Patrick Roy's son, charged towards opposing goaltender Bobby Nadeau. Roy hit Nadeau numerous times despite the other goalie indicating he didn't want to fight. After knocking Nadeau down, Roy continued to hit him. Roy fought a second Saguenéens player, then skated off the ice while holding both middle fingers up to the crowd. Coach Roy denied inciting his son to fight even though cameras showed Roy making a gesture towards his son while he was advancing towards Nadeau. After investigation by the league office, Jonathan was suspended for seven games and fined $500 while Patrick was suspended for five games and fined $4,000. The Quebec Ministry of Public Safety has launched a police investigation into the matter.[23][24][25] In late July 2008, Jonathan was charged with assault in Saguenay courts.[26] On November 21, 2008, Roy's other son found trouble playing for the Remparts, when centre Frederick Roy cross-checked an opponent in the head after a stoppage in play, Frederick was ultimately suspended 15 games by the QMJHL for that incident, which occurred the night before Patrick Roy's jersey retirement ceremony in Montreal.

If you like "dark" movies check out Bronson. Bit of an intense little flick about an English prisoner who has been in solitary for if I recall close to 20 years.

Haven't they already started training there?

Fifth Element.

Midfielders, midfielders, my soul for a midfield.

BBP if course, in rnd 23 with nothin got player for against another tin box side. What about against the Cats, Swans and Hawks in a final, he wouldn't get near it.

Watch "Idiot Box" it you can find it, Ben Mendleson, great stuff. "Gettin Square" is another enjoyable Aussie film. W t f the censored word was i d i o t

Ps fark off that pelican has the 2'nd most test tons for the Poms?! The SAFO?! Fark me

Starc sort it! Poor, commentators called the ball, bang over she goes, the pelicans ton.

Jazza wear down Anderson and Swann as much as possible!!! Drag them down!! Then flay Bresnan and push around broad.

Great to see us in front for once in the series. Going to be a huge ask to get a winning result from here. Lyon will be bowling some long spells and needing some spot on line and length from the quicks at the other end.

.... Just like the Dees only go one speed ffs.

Fair points Macca. There is no standard across all sports to testing so it is apples, oranges, carrots and watermellons we are comparing.

Livestrong not doing so well.... http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/lance-armstrong-livestrong-struggling-athletes-590883 Flogs like Stiller and Robin Williams annoy the hell out of me too, when it was cool to be sniffing LA fa rts they followed him and Livestrong religiously, now not a peep. In saying that, the charity is/was not following it's own mission.

It is galling he denied/lied again about it to the OGE review but now comes out and "admits" his guilt after he retires and only AS he was about to be outed by the French... FFS. Also here are the 18 that tested positive out of the '89 tour for EPO. There has alos been mention that they may test/release more names from other tours. Where the fark is the pathetic UCI in all of this still, how those clowns can still be running the UCI and sport is beoynd me. How the rest of people involved in the sport can allow it to happen is insane. The 18 cyclists who tested positive are: Marco Pantani, Jan Ullrich, Mario Cipollini, Laurent Jalabert, Erik Zabel, Bo Hamburger, Manuel Beltran, Andrea Tafi, Marcos Serrano, Jackie Durand, Jens Heppner, Jeroen Blijlevens, Nicola Minali, Fabio Sacchi, Eddy Mazzoleni, Abraham Olano, Laurent Desbiens and Kevin Livingston.

And so do the riders for allowing it to happen. Really good article by Sam Lane http://m.theage.com.au/sport/cycling/ogradys-secret-fails-his-team-and-all-it-claims-to-stand-for-20130725-2qngc.html

Yea I know Mac and I agree, there were not enough Bassons, who has been found guilty of doping too, in cycling at the time. The sycophant's who run the sport have so much blame and disgust to wear. Fark me I could not believe one of Armstrong lawyers arguments was "you heard all the rumors you should have known."

Robbie Mc and Jonks were on the 98 Tour and not named apparently, Stuaie was the only Aussie from 98 named. In saying that there is talk they may look to other tours and samples from those so who the hell knows what else. It is a bit of "well deeerrrr we know they ALL doped" in that period but for blokes like Stu and to think Robbie Mc or an Evans did would just about push me out of the sport all together.

Ah Stuaie.... Doped on the 98 tour of shame. Massive career shame it ends with this. http://www.theage.com.au/sport/cycling/stuart-ogrady-admits-to-tour-de-france-doping-20130725-2qk04.html

Brutal, brutal start to the 10 test back to back series. Patto gone for this tour, get fit and prepare the fastest, greenest, bounciest pitches we can over here. Gee wizz you have to wonder how Watto will handle all the pressure, Border has come out now to say a few things too.

Massive withdrawals!!!

Was over before it started, Sky and Froome worked hard to develop a great squad and a great way to win, the constant cadence just turning over especially up the climbs. The Sky squad with Thomas riding with a cracked hip, Ritchie Porte besides one bad day was epic. Froome was clearly the best rider over the 3 weeks, head and shoulders above the rest, congratulations to a deserved winner. The little Q wow!! He is going to be a super star maybe as early as next year but definitely 2-3 years from now. Would not be surprised if he wins a number of Tour titles on this years performance. Cadel, well what can you say but he looks done. I hope he has one more Tour in him and can show people the great rider he is as this year was not him. BMC clearly a fractured, disjointed team where you can imagine massive changes for next years Tour. Will be interesting to see if Wiggo gets his hunger back after seeing Froome win, and if he stays with Sky as others are sniffing around like OGE. Overall hoping next year is a little tighter, but what a gruelling Tour this year and it was great to watch almost all of it.

Yea was really disappointing, as you said obviously they were knackered but was hoping they'd push Sky/Froome over the last 5ks of the last climb but not to be. Froome has it done and dusted.
