I'm probably one of the very few on here that loves origin for the spectacle that it is. The quality of the footy. I can't wait for the next game, regardless of the result...it should be a corker! What makes me weak is when I read on here about these supposedly foaming at the mouth, origin crazed Qld maniacs that are looking for blood after the series loss. It's just not true from my view point. They don't exist. We're footy mad here in CQ, but we all knew this year was going to be a bad year in origin. Or a good one if you're like me and enjoy footy in general!!
Mostly everyone I know here had resigned themselves to a series loss before kickoff in game 1. Of course they still turn up and support and hope for the best, but really...I don't think there was Qlder I know that thought it was a sure thing. I guess that's how Blues supporters have felt for years. I haven't met one person yet that didn't at least half expect a bad result this year, and they just take it as it is. QRL and the origin coaches will be the same after game 3. There won't be any blame laid at DCE's feet if they lose the next game, and he will be applauded with the rest of the team if they win! The journo's will rile the feeble minded however with their lies and half truths...
You know...sometimes, when all you see is negatives, and everything you hear is antagonistic...when you are convinced you are surrounded on all sides by pricks, dickheads, tossers and losers....that's the precise moment you should have a really long hard and excrutiatingly honest look at yourself. There's a really good chance that you are the problem.
Or...you could be in Parramatta LOL!!!
The only thing worse than a poor loser is a poor winner. If you try to rub it in out of spite, people will react, not so much due to the loss, but because you're being a dick. It seems to me, probably because of my Manly ties....that the classy thing to do is to congratulate a losing team on their efforts...then giggle yourself to sleep at night.
Not taking a direct swipe at anyone in particular...just saying that if you don't like the way some people seem to act...mimicking them is not just putting yourself in the same boat...it means you'll be doing all the rowing while they kick back and enjoy the trip (your anger).
What do eagles do?? We rise above it all and see things as they truly are. That's why we're better!!
That's enough of that...I'm going back to dick jokes and general silliness
QUICK.....to the music thread!!!
