Not digging in. Just saying Port can win next week.
Just saw the result. It has no emotional effect on me, my non-interest in football of late is a good thing, doesn't spoil my weekends when we lose.
Well, it is the Showdown, and I do agree to a degree because it is their "Grand Final" and oh I don't really care anymore.
Love how you're uninterested because your team is losing. Have some loyalty!
Yet your upset that Cobbler made an offhand remark about the (increasingly) good chances of Port winning next week. Sounds like someone who just doesn't want to admit he's pissed off at his team. These are emotions, you care.
Port are even worse than us, you don't need to dig it in, Cobbler. I don't ever remember doing it to you when your team had its losses.
But there is often an underpinning racism in a lot of football writing. Something quite patronising about the tone. Adam Goodes wrote an article just before Dreamtime this year that (rightfully) highlighted and condemned the notion that Aboriginal players are "magical" in some way. Indeed, there is a popular assumption that they are born with "silky" skills, and that they may have exhibited a hard work ethic to become a professional footballer is something that is never addressed, which would rile me if I was Goodes, Natanui or Aaron Davey in particular.
All two of them.

I'm not sure why it's a shock the North/Brisbane game is good. Brisbane has given a quality game almost every week. They just can't fucking DO anything with it.

They are from the same city. Neither have to get on the road.
