I prefer to think of it ad embellishing the truth.

Like now. I do have a cousin, the rest may be artistic licence

Please accept my humble apologies! I won't doubt you again.

Fuxed.

I thought that was one of TMAB's finest moments. I've yet to see a better parody of coog.

I bit too.

I actually thought what TMAB wrote about his 'cousin' was quite funny. Not sure why some posters took it seriously.

Got to love Cooge threads - they are always entertaining

Agree. he tries to come across as serious but you now the little shit is chuckling away like DAC on a haka thread when he posts

Children do the same when they steal a cookie. I even bet he has a wetspot too.

Has any other Aussie on here ever been to the Holy Grail in Christchurch (not sure if it even still exists). Do not take this in any way as support for anything that Coog has posted but here's a true story from around 2003.


Fark me, not a place to be an Aussie, is/was this pub if you got your timing wrong.


I once endured this routine, pre-Bled, where the DJ or voiceover dude would lead a crowd chant of "Who do we hate, who do we hate, who do we HATE HATE HATE?" "Aussies!" and, y personal favourite, "Aussie Aussie Aussie, hate, hate HATE". And that is verbatim.


All in good fun of course.


Or so I assumed, anyway.


But I couldn't help but wonder what the Kiwi reaction might have been if the situation were reversed?

I could give you a list of incidents the length of my arm where Australians have been insulting and unwelcoming to Kiwis regarding sport, then pull the tired old 'thinskinned' card at the slightest hint of a reaction.

The league crowds with Warriors or Kiwis are no doubt the most vicious and racist, but I've seen pretty nasty behaviour with Union too. Aussies seem to find it a lot funnier when theyre not on the receiving end.

I could say the same for Kiwis. Its not about the people of a country per se, its about the minority of cunts who spoil it for the majority.

As I have repeatedly said, idiots have no borders mate.

If there was a chance of the crowd not booing Quade then there's none after Cooper's latest press conference.

It lasted all of 13 seconds, saying "I'm back, I'm fit and I'll see you all at Eden Park", before putting the microphone on the ground and walking off.

The words don't look evocative in black and white but the tone suggests he's carrying a rather large monkey on his back.

Link?

What's Quade thinking?!!! What disrespect!!

He's surely going to cop it now! And deservedly so!!

http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-sport/wallabies-recall-cooper-for-second-nz-test-20120823-24nmq.html

He is in for so much shit after this.

Why doesn't he just stab the ab's kids and get it over and done with

Quade will be in tears by the end of this one.

No way, he's got way too much class. Too much class. Too much class. Etc etc.

It's in this news bulletin. He seems very sure of himself...

This is the final straw.

It should be a law in rugby for every opposing player to publicly suck the ABs cocks to show the right amount of respect.

Anything short of that is a disgrace!!

I'm sure, that's kinda the point. Obviously, there are fuckwits both sides of the Ditch - its the "but but but your fuckwits are worse than our fuckwits" argument, a kind of nationalist chest-beating or point scoring by proxy, that I find completely asinine. You know, the kidn whereevery response to an example of arguably bad behaviour is met with increasingly worse examples, some true, some exaggerated for effect or to support some sort of generalisation (a bit like yours), and some complete fabrications. Just sayin...

I think the law in rugby, and any sport for that matter, is that levels of swag displayed should be equal to level of performances within said sporting arena.

Good posting F2V.

I agree!!!

Cooper should actually hold down a current AB, and forcefully suck him off!! Anything less is a disgusting show of disrespect.

In fact, as I am only as a good as a person as my national rugby team, I only think it's fair that we should do the same.

How dare ANY PERSON do anything less than suck off a kiwi when ever we play you at any sport or discuss anything at all!!

Otherwise, some of you cunts will cry so fucking hard, that's just too fucking painful to put up with.


You utter precious cunt!

Wouldn't it be his own media that are likely to be unhappy with him after this? I didn't see the make up of the media scrum.

Well, there's a media 'black-out' on the team this week apparently, so they should have been happy with any comment.

But.... a kiwi posted, apparently seriously, that Cooper showed disrespect....

Oh sweet Jebus!

kinda makes you wish we still had sigs, eh?

Almost...

I'm enjoying the speed of a sig free bored, but now and again I do miss The Native's offerings...

So you thought you'd help the situation by throwing in some random anecdote of "terrible" Kiwi behaviour 6 pages deep into the thread then. I see.

No, I said I had assumed it was all in good fun. Despite the use of the word "hate". In fact, I didn't react, and no-one accused me of being "thin skinned" (to use your words) or the like.

I did just wonder how Kiwis might react if they had been in my position at that time. I suspect it would have been much the same. Anotehr explanation is that the Holy Grail crowd is habitually pretty feral. Like it could be anywhere. You could have commented on it any which way - without resorting to ratcheting up the rhetoric.

You also might have seen that, much earlier in this fred, I posted that it was silly to allow a silly fred by Coog, no less, to draw Aussies and Kiwis into an ever-increasing "but your cunts are worse than our cunts" sort of argument. But, yet, here we are. It serves no constructive end. But when it gets to blinkered generalisations, say for example, your comment that "Aussies seem to find it a lot funnier when theyre not on the receiving end" that it hits new heights of asininity. But that's just my view.

By the way, thanks for playing the race card - and so quickly. Its played by habit by some on here these days, it seems, without a hella lot of thought. A nice way to rachet up the, er, banter.

Fruitand2Veg. Poet, sage, imbecile.

Well, this could go round and round in circles then I guess.

You said you couldn't help wondering how Kiwis would handle it, so I suggested that we already know as we cop a lot of it all the time.

And for the record, I didn't play the 'race' card as you call it. I made a completely factual statement that I have witnessed some pretty awful racial comments at League games involving the Warriors. I will also stress this is among an absolute minority. It doesn't prove anything but it's as relevant as your anecdote.

So you didn't raise any race issue and didn't stoop to any generalisations?


Sorted, then.
