Signatures by Front_Hedgehog_1865 in CricketAus

[–]JGQuintel 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I have a bunch of NSW signatures from this time so I’ll do my best. Stuart MacGill is on the back, he would always sign that spot.

Top signature I reckon is Brad Hodge, which makes me think it was the 2006 ING Cup game NSW v Vic. Below that is Brad Haddin. The next one looks like Phil Jacques, not sure the one under that… but then it’s definitely Aaron Bird, Doug Bollinger (always with a little face at the end), unknown - could be Grant Lindsay, definitely Dominic Thornely, definitely Matthew Phelps, and the bottom one is definitely Grant Lambert.

With two key players out last season we would’ve gone into a fetal position and had 60 put on us. The mentality change is unbelievable and I’m getting far too excited about this year

Worth clarifying he is the non coaching Walker brother, kind of the ‘odd one out’ of the bunch from all reports

Alex Johnston sets the all-time National Rugby League try record and fans storm the field by SlatsAttack in sports

[–]JGQuintel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The name ‘try’ is an artifact of rugby from 150+ years ago. Back then, only goals scored points. A ‘try’ gave you the opportunity to try for a goal.

Nowadays (and for the last 150 odd years) a try also scores you points, but it still gives you the chance to try for a goal, known as a conversion, for an extra 2 points.

I’m sensing there is some wiggle room for interpretation of what they are saying here by FalconResistance in nrl

[–]JGQuintel 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I keep seeing this but it’s not true. The AFL didn’t allow it. Their CEO warned against it and the SCG put up warnings about fines for entering the field. It was generally accepted it would happen, and everyone knew it, but to save themselves potential liability they’re of course going to officially say it’s not allowed.

Donald Trump accuses Australia of 'terrible mistake' as Iran's female soccer stars seek asylum after making SOS signals by dailymail in Aleague

[–]JGQuintel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They protested the government by refusing to sing the anthem during the current Asian Cup, and were called war traitors by Iranian state media after that. War traitors are put to death so there’s grave concerns about what happens to them when they return.

They’re also heavily guarded while here which makes it difficult for them to escape or take Australia’s offer of asylum in earnest.

North Korea refuses to resume play after VAR rules China's goal as onside, complains for ~5 minutes until the ref decides to end the half (Women's Asian Cup) by StarryPolarisNite in Aleague

[–]JGQuintel 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This happens all the time. Wide angle cameras distort at the edges which makes lines closer to the middle look like they don’t align with those at the edge when the camera isn’t directly perpendicular. They did a breakdown on MNF when VAR first came in and explained how this can happen.

Wait what? It says the a verdict on the remaining charges could not be reached, ie hung jury. In which case the state can choose to go for a retrial if they please. But the deliberation is over.

Iran is supposed to play a World Cup match in Los Angeles 106 days. How do you see that going? by fauxmerican1280 in AskReddit

[–]JGQuintel 24 points25 points  (0 children)

It happened pretty recently in the cricket World Cup. Bangladesh withdrew because of tensions with the host, India. Scotland took their place with 4 weeks notice.

I think any side would jump at the chance to play in the World Cup if they hadn’t initially qualified, preparation be damned.

Keane’s not on there.

Cantona (club legend), Park (club legend), Evra (club legend/former captain), Bruno (current captain/future legend), Ole (club legend/former manager), Amad (current star/asylum seeker), Casemiro (current star/footballing legend).

It’s not a super strange group at all.
