A cancerous growth in wsw’s womb is probably a better metaphor. 

nooo, thats still pretty odd.

These past few seasons are nearly as bad as Parra 2010-2016 + 2018. But no wooden spoon yet.

And..I had to walk 50miles to each Boro game AND carry my dad on my back!

Sometimes small things make a difference ....

It was 35 Degrees at kick off and a blazing sun.... we played in white i.e. reflect sun and heat ... you played in a dark black i.e. absorb heat ... Monty is a thinker if nothing else....

Luxury.....I once carried my two brothers on my back for a 100 miles while using crutches with two broken legs and a broken arm

This makes no sense lol. But Middy - small things sometimes make a difference. In this case it's a little Welsh ****.

Na one team used their inexperienced talent to play to their potential (and Bozanic who really should be getting a call up) played to their strengths on the counter, chased everything down, played for their shirt, their fans and their manager and one team full of experience aimlessly played possession along their backline and then went out wide and back again, with no clue what to do next.

Watched most of the game but had to switch off because I had a party to attend

Got chatting to a girl at the party, asked her out at the end of the night but she wasn’t interested  

A couple of really attractive girls on the train on the way home - decided to talk to them when they were doing the train game where you try and make 10 from the number of the carriage. They - specifically the one who was trying to make 10 - also weren’t interested  

Just like the Wanderers, I end tonight 2-0 down

We move on to next week.

Game presser.

All good, I understand the frustration. Putting up with this **** year after year is seriously taxing on my mental health. If only the team could reciprocate the RBBs efforts on the odd occasion we'd have some positives to focus on. 

If it wasn't there (family stuff) I'd have been shouting all match, but it wouldn't have been the same as the RBB, though. The frustration has made me gone a little bad mad to be honest.

Don't they have apps for this sort of thing these days?

If Lederer comes out to address the fans and says "mark my words" at any point, I will seriously call Lyall Gorman myself, and beg him to come in and fix this once great club. 

Announcent on Monday morning!!

Surely the fraud of the decade will be gone.

You know when we said take a chance and talk to them. We didn’t mean speak to every girl you encounter  You need to get the balance right, otherwise you are just going to get turned down every week and your confidence will take a hammering. I mean, you talk to a couple of random girls on the train in the way home and expect something…rarely happens that way. Good for you for having the confidence to chat, but yeah…

I think SNS was calling for one opposed to confirming there is one.

And that's the majority of the crowd doing that as is their right. So the boys would be well aware and get the message that they are playing shite. But with that style of the RBB, it's a pride thing. Pride in the terrace itself, sure - never give in, never back down, if you sing songs about it, then you have to live it - no stupid banners, no sitting down in silence- but also pride in western Sydney- we're not like other places, the red and black are out there so even if it's a dogs breakfast we back them, because everyone else hangs **** on us but we don't hang real **** on ourselves. And also - why not have a good time if no'one else is going to provide it? its "lets pretend we've scored"/"we've got the ball" (which by the way is always cited as Oscar Wilde level  ******* genius) x100.

I get  it looks mental and it's not for everyone and I don't mean to imply anything about anyone else.

Yesterday at the end i saw our captain lead the team over to the away bay to face the RBB who were still singing. I hope that struck a chord with the players so that when Norman Price the useless Welsh ****er is gone they remember why they are here.

Nail. Head.

Still think a Robbo out chant wouldn't go astray

Yes but the problem is when I am compared to the 6 foot tall, muscular guys that could be one profile away on the app, I get matches 0.1% of the time  

In football terms, if my strikers aren’t very tall or strong, I won’t play high crosses into the box. I wish CR would also realise this.

It’s not every girl! Just the really attractive ones  (who seem friendly, which she was)

But nah didn’t really expect anything anyway. She was nice though, after she got off the phone to her boyfriend  we had a bit of a chat 

If a girl takes a phone call to her boyfriend she either 

a) has a boyfriend in which case back off or

b) doesn't in which case BACK THE **** OFF and leave the girl alone because she's feeling uncomfortable enough to perform an elaborate ruse like that while still pretending to be friendly in case you are a psycho.

Guy, or woman with a deep voice, was on speakerphone

But yes in case it was not immediately obvious, in my original post when I said she’s “not interested” it was obvious she wasn’t when she decided to take a 3 minute phone call with her boyfriend in the middle of our convo

Women I know have a guy friend they can call to pretend (I've been one on occasion!)

That's kind of not the point though - the point is, there are places where it's acceptable to approach women to chat - I actually think a train is definitely  not one of them, but whatever - if though, you get any signal, whatever it is, that's enough. They don't know you. You could be a psycho. You know you're not (I hope ) but they don't - so read the room, and leave, because that **** can be traumatic - and like I said, there is a genuine fear that if they show that they are uncomfortable, this unknown bloke (you) could react really badly, because that's what psychos do. Again, you know you won't. but they don't.

Anyway, didn't mean to derail, let's get back to bashing Carl, but you're not going to get anywhere if you're not understanding this stuff, so, keep at it, it'll happen, but probably not if you are missing important cues, is all.

Definitely agree with you in principle. Where I got to was this:

• There is probably a million-in-one chance that I see this girl ever again so it's essentially then or never
• If she likes me, it doesn't really matter where I talk to her because she'll be happy I did
• If she doesn't like me, as long as I'm respectful, it shouldn't be a problem (which is really the crux of your post)

To really go off-topic: it just baffles me how the bad actions of a few psychos taints the whole thing. When the flares were going off at the RBB, we - rightfully - blamed a few bad eggs in the group for doing that and wanted to ensure that the RBB as a wider group was not punished. And yet because some immature toxic masculinity affected young "men" who can't handle rejection will do something stupid when a girl rejects him, we suddenly now have "areas we shouldn't talk to girls". I think everyone has the ability for self-determination. We're all adults here, we can speak for ourselves. I don't accept that my actions need to be changed because of what some other guy did, but I begrudgingly accept that because of what the other guy did, I need to be considerate of my actions.

And back to WSW, as many of you have realised, I'm just using WSW games as a chance to tour Eat Street which I never did in the ten seasons we've had as a club so... I better start looking at some menus.

Regardless of what other dudes do or don't do, continuing to talk to someone when they have sent a signal they are not interested, is being disrespectful. Like I said - yep, those signals are hard to read. Particularly when on the surface it looks like the person is amiable to a chat. The reason I went down the psycho line is to explain why sometimes it can be hard for people to send clearer signals, which, yes it sucks to be tarred with a brush, but dude,  it ******* sucks WAY more to be female and have to think along those lines and worry way, way more than it does to be male and have to maybe just consider it and be respectful.  But I'm telling you - the fella on the phone, nup, that's it. If you have respect for that situation, you are backing off.

Not meaning to be a dick about it or hyper critical, but us guys really need to do a shitload more to understand what it's actually like to be female and have to put up with so much ****. In my job, every year I've looked after a cohort of kids and I've had to assist with young girls being approached by creeps on public transport and not knowing how to handle it, at least a couple of times, every year, and I reckon most wouldn't be reporting it to me, or to school. And I reckon a lot of those creeps would be people who don't think what they are doing has any impact at all and there's nothing wrong. 

I'll drop it, but it's just a massive blind spot for us blokes!

Well, I disagree obviously - I think the people you’ve described as creeps know exactly what they’re doing and/or are unable to handle rejection properly.

Also to clarify when I say “not interested” it meant in the romantic let’s go out and date each other way.

Mack bring back the dating thread me thinks 😂

Don't we have enough toxicity in the forum discussing the club?

At least in the dating thread you knew that the talk of being f*cked was only for Unlimited’s benefit.

Here the talk of being f*cked relates to an entire football community.
