Remembering that time yesterday when the A league deployed a ref to help Sydney FC get to the top of the ladder so to help ensure a full house for the grand final that will be played in Sydney no matter who wins the league, but Sydney FC can’t shoot for poo poo.

One of the red cards for the nix was a bit of biffo but Sydney got a yellow and the nix got a straight red

The other was a bit of a soft second yellow

From 3:26 (although the goal has all the classic A league defending lols)

Almost makes me want to start an a league thread. Almost.

I don't get the problem with the Rooney pic other than the inescapable fact that Rooney is ugly as hell, and appears to be holding a giant lollipop. The shorts are fine.

It’s funny for some of the reasons you described and his shorts are very short

I don’t know why but the version of him licking it is funnier somehow

This was actually the funny football poo poo I suddenly remembered, but I couldn’t find this exact picture in a decent size.

Everything about their outfits is bizarre imo. This picture was taken in 2008 when precisely nothing they were wearing were in style. Short shorts on guys weren’t fashionable yet. Camo cargo shorts were out of style. Slides wouldn’t come back for another like 10 years, and I don’t even remember colored Birkenstocks existing back then. I don’t even know what is going on with his shirt and I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a sleeveless jersey(?) with a crew neck in another context.

Also Rooney is wearing glasses that may actually be goggles and his slides appear to be too small for his feet.

It’s bizarre that you think they’re trying to be fashionable in that shot. They’re clearly trying to be comfortable. And hell, good for them. The lollipop is a funny look but it’s all kinds of insecure to be mocking his shorts or sandals. Be comfortable in your body, OP.

I seem to recall he can only go to sleep with white noise, but instead of getting a white noise machine he just plugs in a hoover and lets it run all night, and was going through like a hoover a week. Interesting guy

quote:

The 20-year-old United star confessed to his bedtime quirk in an extract from his autobiography, My Story So Far, published yesterday.

He revealed that if there isn't a Hoover or a Dyson to hand, he turns on fiancée Coleen McLoughlin's hairdryer instead.

He said: "I've ruined so many hairdryers by letting them burn out.

"Coleen hates it - she won't let me turn on a vacuum cleaner or a fan, not when we're together."

lol

and also lmao that the site i got that from lists some "quirks" other players have

quote:

Although he might risk opening himself to ridicule with his bedtime secrets, Rooney is not the first England international to admit to a quirky personality trait.

Former captain David Beckham told this year how he suffers from an obsessive compulsive disorder, which means he has to line up cans of drink in his fridge and organise all his belongings into pairs.

England team-mate Steven Gerrard also revealed in a TV documentary that he washes his hands at least 16 times a day due to an obsession with cleanliness.

And one of their predecessors, Paul Gascoigne, has told how he can't leave home without checking that all the lights are off.

Probably the same brain quirks that compel you to practice penalties for 12 hours a day as a kid also make you an OCD hairdryer maniac as an adult. Plus the fact that you have an extremely abnormal childhood and spend every day reenforcing those obsessive behaviours.

Everyone was worried about headers but the real brain damage was happening off the pitch.

Lol?

most of those are pretty mild and the kind of stuff I had issues with before getting on an SSRI. Washing your hands a lot is just good sense though imo whether its the stuff you're touching in training or just out shopping etc
