So I got up this morning happy till.....

Post: # 975142Post DJKCR »

Since I live in WA I had no choice yesterday but to sit at home and watch the Fremantle Hawthorn massacre. I was pretty pissed off yesterday seeing as I had forked out money for Foxtel in the hope of seeing my beloved Saints play football which is a rare thing on free to air in WA. The only thing that had me holding it together was that the footy was on at 0430 and I have IQ so I didn't have to wait up till all hours. Anyway I get up half an hour ago and run out like a child at Christmas. Turn on my TV play my saved football only to discover that Foxtel has shown a Tennis match between Roddick and some other clown. Now I don't get to watch the match till Tuesday :evil:

Foxtel you have ruined my weekend!!!

Same thing.

I was up very early to watch it.

The good news is that it is on now. I am recording it.

It started at about 6:15 over here and is on instead of the Crows and some other team game.


I am still hurting from 71;
my gut churns thinking of 97;
2009 was agony,
2010a was a pleasure to watch only to be devastated by 2010 b.
It hurts barracking for the Saints

Yeah I am pretty sure it was live as Roddick and Fish kept running off due to rain delays I fast forwarded it about 60 minutes and there was still no footy :(

Don't know if you live in Perth or somewhere else, however ~25 of us watched it live at the Karalee tavern in South Perth yesterday. (For me that means a 70 - 80k round trip but i reckon that is well worth it)

Yeah thanks for the heads up I do know about the Karalee and I did know that the match was on there. But the wife was handing out flyers yesterday for the election and I was stuck at home with the two little ones. If I had of been at home alone I would have made the trip up from Rockingham

Thanx for the heads up. Means I gotta retape it so I've got the whole season to watch before the GF so I can watch the whole PREMIERSHIP season at once :)
