Football (soccer)! Today's Manchester City vs Everton match was interesting with the spectator handcuffing himself to the goalpost and all :lol:

Just watched the most amazing game of tennis the other night. The Australian open final. The match between Djokovic and Nadal went for just under six hours. Easily the best game of tennis I have ever watched. What made it even better is I am a big Djokovic fan and my gf is a massive Nadal fan. It went to five sets and by the last set it was about 1.00am. After all the screaming we did I am surprised that the neighbours didn't call the cops. :D :D

How perfectly goddamned delightful it all is, to be sure.

I saw a soccer game in Salt Lake one time where one of the players got po'd at a cameraman and dropped his drawers and mooned him.

Saw that one with the fan handcuffing himself to the goalpost, read the news and found out he was actually protesting against Ryanair :lol: , he thought he would get more publicity at a footie game. Can't believe it, I mean somebody complaining about Ryanair, disgusting. :D

Saw that on the News but I didn't know it was Ryanair he was protesting about ... sure Mick O'Leary would call that good advertising!
Pity he didn't handcuff himself to a goalpost in Cairo .... but I guess that wasn't the kind of attention he was looking for ... idiot. :roll:

Yep, turns out he was complaining about the wages and recruitment policy of Ryanair. :D
A bit harsh on the Cairo thing, but you are right he is a knobhead. :lol:
