Relatives who support teams you hate

[Fade.To.Black]

No etiquette...just give them heaps


I couldn’t resist but have a little crack. I told them to beware the mental health card.

Had a similar situation back in October at another get together. It was the day of the World 9’s and they were fawning over Moses. Again, couldn’t help but have a crack, which caused my cousin to needle me the rest of the game, proclaiming Moses the best half in the game.

I guess when you are as passionate about footy as we are, it almost becomes like politics and religion. A debate that never ends well.

Would've got stuck right into them, particularly Moses and his tanking and Matterson with his cowardly exit from WT. Probably wouldn't go down too well and most likely not be invited to the next family gathering. **Moses and Matterson are amongst the lowest forms of life when it comes to a team sport scenario.**

Yes, but sadly they will both most likely have a boomer of a season and the last laugh on us. I’m sure there is no such thing as karma.

I dunno. 2 massive frontrunners right there. Parra lose a few on the trot and it'll be a race between those 2 spineless vermin to see who can pull out the mental health card first and try to jump ship to greener pastures.
Having 2 jellyfish like that in the 1 team is just asking for problems.

My wife is a south's supporter
And she still has all her teeth
We go to as many Tigers v Souths games we can
I have even sat in the Burrow with her wearing my Wests Tigers Jersey
I was out numbered about 20,000 to 1 that night
The bastards were singing all night behind me and then complaining when they didn't get their way
Funnily enough the Tigers had a good win
So I turned around and I gave it to the whole crowd behind me
It truly was one of the best days of my life
The train ride back to the city was somber for most supporters
They weren't so loud now
But not me the poor suckers
Lucky my wife was with me in her Jersey
It's probably what saved me
Ahh yeah
Can't wait to do it again

Ahh the memories

Im a great disappointment to the majority of my dragons family.

They are wrong.

My mates are mostly mutts and despite our below expectation results i do my uttmost to talk to them a like degenerates and inbreeds for not being Tigers supporters.

I genuinely look down on them...

Now im breeding and brainwashing the next generation of kids and forcing them to be tigers like me.

Do what I did any marry someone who isn’t Australian, then you don’t have a problem.

I worked in England for three years and met my Irish wife there. We married, and returned to Australia.

The weekend after we returned to Australia the Magpies were playing Manly at Lidcombe Oval. I hadn't seen a game for years so I talked my new wife into going to the match with me. After about 20 minutes the heavens opened and it bucketed down. We were behind the goal posts on the hill without an umbrella or raincoats. My wife constantly tugged at my are saying "lets go, lets go". It wasn't long before we were saturated, but I refused to leave. The magpies were giving Manly a hiding you see, so it was obvious that I had to stay.

Sadly for my wife she had only been in Australia for a few days and didn't know the way home. So she stood beside me and fumed.

Anyway, the Magpies won the game comfortably, and my wife has refused to go to another match with me.

I blew any chance of making my wife a magpie/WT supporter. The upside is that there are no football related tensions in our household.

We live in the country so it is over 2 hours to Campbelltown from home, back in 1996 or 97 I took my wife to the footy.
Absolutely bucketed down and we got drenched, I wouldn’t leave, so the wife had to stay.
I drove home in my undies as all my clothes were soaked, my wife only stripped to her jeans and bra.
I thought I hope we don’t get pulled up by the cops, or have a crash, but we got home ok

Ive driven home shirtless from 2 games, my daughters 1st game which was a trial match in 2014 at Camden when her nappy leaked all over me and a second time at Cambo when she vomited all down my back! So @Tiger_Steve sometimes its better to go alone lol

My brother is a Raiders fan, my cousin is a typical dopey Roosters fan and my best mate a Doggies supporter. I always find something to give them a hard time over!
