The Farcical final...
October 1st 2006 00:34
Yes, I watched the football final like many of you. I watched and couldn't help thinking what a farce. The laws of probability if given their chance to speak would have to agree.
I'm not complaining about the result so much as complaining at the control factors behind the result. It's just too coincidental to hold any truth. Anyone who follows codes of honesty and integrity and believes that they were present on that football field - seriously wake up.
I mean I fell in love with a racehorse named Makybe Diva (i would never deny you are gifted) before she even won her first Melbourne Cup, but nothing but the Horse Gods could have given her three in a row. Lee Freedman you're good but underhandedness is better.
Perhaps I am just a cynic, without a romantic cell in my body.
I watch the footy for the sublime skills of the few. Andrew Mcleod stand up.
I'm out of time so it ends here - apologies.

re: makybe diva - who could possibly deny a better suited horseracing fairytale? especially when the next one might not be in my lifetime or yours.
re: footy - tip the margins quarter by quarter and I'll retract my thoughts. Also, write me a better script than a reversal of fortunes. Or Write me a better script for a 2007 final.
In fact, I hope we see them in 2007. We might just get a game really woth watching.
Maybe I'm just too cynical.

i just don't like the idea of anything being set up, it takes the worth away.
For some reason i just couldn't shake the thought i had. a woman's intuition is not to be taken lightly.

It happens in racing, it happens in cricket, and it damn sure happens in football.

I don't deny people make mistakes in sport, bad decisions being part of that. Or that it detracts from a true event or game. However, the 'of no worth' i was referring to was in relation to games/events that are set up. There is no merit in an athlete winning if he/she is found to be a cheat. Same rule applies in anything.
