Footy Fever - It's here alright
September 29th 2006 07:20
There is nothing you can't do with your peeps by your side. That's what the footy season and playing the game is all about isn't it? Well Is it?
I'm a supporter - not a very good one - but I support the lovers of the game, so much so that I just went on tour to the middle east to support the game.
I guess I do sound like a good supporter then - let's just say I am very understanding.
Being so very understanding has opened my mind to the game, its bloke-isms and the care-factor of those who play and who love to watch.
I wont do It on my own - watch and care, but, after being thrown into the lion's den so to speak, I can forgive them all their idyosynchrasies and support every idiot thing they choose to do. AND I mean everything!
OK So now I'll stop being vague. Being on a football tour AND being one of 2 girls out of 25 men is a big deal...you are not part of the group - but at the same time you are - you have to be - otherwise get off the tour bus!
The bus was headed in one direction and it wasn't sight seeing or shopping it was straight to the rugby club. I was there to support, everything. Not just the game but the drinking the songs the comments on girls how to get girls what they do when they get girls and everything after that. So that is what I did. And you know what, I enjoyed every minute of it.
Is that such a bad thing?
I didn't think so. I felt like part of the family and sure that's a very girly thing to say but well it was true.
I was a stranger in the pack - never met most of these people before, but I was offered the respect of being there as a supporter and ultimately the acceptance of being one of the team. Yes me - a non believer, it was a great feeling and made me see that it's just like any other social group or team but there's a lot of love in the room because they are all working towards the same thing.
Oh how touchy feely!
That will be enough of that...at the end of the tournament it was also about winning and that they did.
I will give you the full report in the stories to come but if you like rugby and you're an Aussie, you'll be happy to know that the australian team THE COFF CAVALIERS won the the Bahrain Duty Free 10's comp. With only 1 try conceded against them.
Pretty bloody good for a team of boys who just met and some being from different codes!
SO my final words are my first words - there's nothing you can't do with you peeps by your side.
Oh and I promise next time I talk anything football I wont be so soft on the topic!
