PLANET 3 Sorry did not know you are a woman.
Explains a lot.
I would be the first to open the door for you.
Step aside to let you pass.
Defend you.
But nothing changes except this being a woman gives you an alibi nothing can change that.
You may gain from watching some of the very best posters here in OLO.
Your chill it to men world wide confirms my view about you.
You are the problem not me.
Yes you have the right to tell us you do not li9kesport and sweaty men.
But If we spoke face to face I could with body language and words let you know I did not want to converse with you.
In the past you found reason to say some unusual things to me and others.
And to give more weight to your words than others.
A rather think you need to consider your own posts.
It is of little help to your case inferring all the worlds men are wrong and you right ROTFL

Belly,

It is my frank and honest opinion that women's cricket and women's soccer are far closer to the sports' amateur origins. Before they were turned into mere commodities to make profits for entrepreneurs and mainly through selling advertising.

But then again, some of the players of those male games, for example cricket, have always indulged in punting on the match outcomes, so the inevitable links between male sports and gambling (and horse and greyhound racing could be considered to be male sports). Kindly, I did not ink booze to those sports but I could easily have linked booze and drunkenness.

What is offensive though is how often the commentators employ the tribal language and images of gambling and booze to describe play, where common everyday language was available and appropriate.

Fourth test day two, Aussies batting badly.
One side benefit is the Barmy Army is in fact alive.
Silent as little lambs for a day and a half they now scream as we look less than impressive.
Not one of those win or you are a mug fans I love the game.
But our two batsmen should have left their bats in the shed after tea and an hour before.
They only seem to use them to lean on that brings about quick wickets.

Australia 4 nil and one to go, you good thing!
We looked far from a win at times even quietening the Barmy Army if only briefly.
They took the loss well and in full voice as it became apparent they had only an hour to a loss.
If I was to be cheeky I have both the up most regard and respect for that Army but like them like a grin so just for the Barmy Army.
Fee Fi Fo Fum I smell the Blood of an English Mun.
That being their Captain, seemingly doing his job by consensus so much so that mid wicket team talks leaves me wondering what one of the 4 is Captain?

While the thread is slumbering I have a few thoughts about the great game.
Australia stands about to win 5 nil an event seen only three times.
England has shown new talent and a rebuild is not goeing to be far of.
Those who swap insults with the Balmy Army, on both sides who get too rude, are not true fans of the sport.
Winners always drag the *we won fans* out of the darkness.
Beating the Poms is fun but remaining best mates with them, even as a firm Republican makes for even more fun.

G'day (AGAIN) BELLY old friend...

Gee I've tapped the old computer keys this afternoon ? You're so correct my friend, the Balmy Army are similar to us, they love and support their cricket team as we do ours. Beating the Poms is almost a 'right of passage' for us, something we do with regular monotony, and as you say we're the best of mates as we beat them too, well, most of the time I suppose ? Though, Clark's not performing too well eh BELLY ?
