My kids went and without realising ended up in the Man U supporters group...fair to say they acted like absolute c..ts apparently

We used to go to the Rugby 7's in Adelaide every year. One year we ended up in with the Kenyan supporters. A nicer fun bunch of supporters you'll be hard pressed to find. Singing hakuna matata & other songs all day except when the team was playing.

Agreed with that, I even bought a Kenya top and was singing and dancing with them! :lol:
Miss the 7s, was an awesome event.


I have a heap of Kenya 7's merchandise.

My partners family is heavily involved in the local union comp here and when the rugby 7's were on she a trainer for the club. All the local trainers were allocated a 7's team so she was the trainer for Kenya, the FIL was the chaperone for the players during their week stay taking them to resteraunts etc.

At the end of the comp they were told to take what they like....you don't ask an Irish family that twice so they shit loads :)

A former gun footballer who chalked up league games with Norwood and played with Gepps Cross this year is facing several serious family violence charges.

Marc Oliver Cox, of North Haven, on Wednesday appeared in the Adelaide Magistrates Court where he asked to be released on bail to see his dying father.

The court heard Mr Cox’s dad had been diagnosed with severe and aggressive cancer and given between one and two weeks to live, leading to an urgent application for bail.

Mr Cox was facing charges of indecent filming of a person older than 17, distributing invasive images, choking a person in a domestic setting, aggravated trespass and aggravated assault.

He had been in prison since July when he handed himself in.

Mr Cox, aged 39, was alleged to have committed the offences which led to the charges between December 1 last year and July 3 this year at Paracombe.

His last game for Gepps Cross was on July 2.

Before this year Mr Cox played for Fitzroy, Salisbury North, Payneham Norwood Union, Echunga, Freeling, Virginia, North Clare and Jervois football clubs.

In the mid-2000s he played league and reserve-level SANFL football with West Adelaide and Port Adelaide in addition to Norwood.

Given the seriousness of the charges, Mr Cox was a prescribed applicant for bail, meaning his lawyer, Stacey Carter, had to argue there were “special circumstances” that could see him released from prison.

Ms Carter said his father’s ill health was compounded with him mother’s Multiple Sclerosis diagnosis.

Magistrate Karim Soetratma said the imminent death of Mr Cox’s father was a “classic case of special circumstances”.

“I’m going to take an unusual position, that I appreciate and acknowledgingly freely is unusual and organise a bail agreement at this stage on which the defendant will be bailed,” he said.

Mr Cox was released on a $1000 bond and strict curfew and reporting conditions.

He will again appear in court next week where a home detention report will be delivered.

Researchers at Boston University say they have developed a new COVID strain that has an 80% kill rate following a series of similar experiments first thought to have started the global pandemic that began in China.

The variant, a combination of omicron and the original virus in Wuhan, killed 80% of the mice infected with it, the university said. When mice were only exposed to omicron, they experienced mild symptoms.

The research was conducted by a team of scientists from Florida and Boston at the school's National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratories.

Speaking of which: I listened to this on my walk of shame to pick up my car on Sunday

Nikolai Petrovsky talking about the origins of C-19
Not unlike what the Boston dudes did

I wish I could find the Far Side cartoon of someone dropping a test tube out of a laboratory window with "Oops" Very appropriate

I dont suppose you've got the photo of Koutsantonis with a "No More Privatisation" board from the 2014 state election?

Gun footballer definition is to say the least used far too freely.

The fact that he played football would be relevant in as much if he had a high profile, such as an AFL player.

Could just as easy write that he was a steak eater or man who has drunk in numerous hotels.
