Can I punch them all in the face

At tbe pub and saw on the tv (no sound) Fox sports doing a piece on the Eels v Dogs 1998 finals game they interviewed N.Hindmarsh, Fletcher, Kent, M.Johns and Ennis and all I wanted to do was punch each and everyone of them in the face.

  • I was at that game. Worst game of my life.
  • Just ask Paul carrige lol!
    • He had to leave the country for awhile after receiving death threats.
  • Was also at the game, dogs fans are the worst winners
  • Was also at the game, dogs fans are the worst winners
    • Was at the 2009 final, the are the worst losers aswell
  • Dont worry the whole preview related around paul carige.
    If ever their was a game with match fixing then this match would be the prime suspect with daylight a clear second.
    Altough betting during a match mightn't have been around back then but with parra up 18-2 with 11 mins remaining and a grand final appearance for the victor and the fact parra dominated with canterbury unable to threaten and not from a lack of trying in the first 70 mins.
    What happened after that would have been buckleys just at the thought of what transpired. The best description of parra's destruction on this fateful day would be like superman taking a dosage of cryptonite.
  • I can still feel the sting of that game. Like others above I was there. You could feel the tide had turned a few moments after we started singing "Bring on the Brocos" in a parra strong section of the crowd. Not long after the Dogs scored and a bulldogs supporter in front of me turned around and grinned a shit-eating grin, I knew we were gone.

    Still hurts

    • Yep, I remember being there and singing that.

      It was fucking surreal, like some evil fug had descended upon the stadium and turned all of our dreams to ashes. Indescribable really, you had to be there.

      Motherfuck.

  • I was in Tasmania desperately trying to get some live scores (pre-internet!). RL does not exist in Tassie but the local radio station took the game live in the last 10 min. I was livid to say the least. Took many years to get over that.
