Well its official. The umpire got it wrong with those two "not 15 metres calls in the saints/Hawks game which resulted in a hawks goal in the last 1/4. Anyway done and dusted now. Upside the saints play the bottom 7 teams twice and those games are still to come. 15 games still to play at Etihad And if they can keep up their intensity and run they should pass the 6 wins achieved last year.

Couldn't defend herself and only tried to push Mr Ben away. So she was being raped? I didn't see much pushing, she seemed to be willing and going with the flow. Instead of laughing and smiling why not scream out if you are being attacked.

Just been reading the Thai news and it appears an American man has been arrested for muff diving in public. Nice picture of them both at the police station with the girl looking contrite and the said American giving his best Wai. Yes .....that Wai just shows he is fully familiar with Thai culture and is a man full of respect for it.

Will no doubt get it's own thread sometime tomorrow followed by a few hundred posts.

Apparently the Thai woman went to the police and made a complaint after it was posted online. She has been exonerated, the American has apologised to her and is still facing charges. He has been held 100% responsible.

St Kilda was Robbed!!!

the double play on for the 15 metre kicks coming out of defense. .. turnover led directly to Hawks goal... game right there.

terrible umpiring

I think the saints have proven thus far this year that they shouldn't be taken lightly. Played some top teams and taken it right to them.

u tipped them?

no

If I go and wear my sarong on Soi 7 in Pattaya today, won't I be fined 100baht?

Yes you will as a farang tourist found out when he was arrested for not wearing a shirt.

I'd rather watch 10 years of Collingwood replays than watch 10 years of the Saints replays, I think they win more often and I don't pollute my Whisky with ice water or coke.....some of us have style you know.

love your style, throwing flares and ripping up the seats of Etihad Stadium. Raise the bar for Collingwood supporters.

The Aleague elimination final being played tonight is more entertaining fellas....0-0 at half time, better than the walloping over in the west....

What's the Aleague? Never heard of it.

Need the Tigers to stage a mini comeback. Picked the eagles by 27.

Ross Lyon Begins Fielding Offers For Next Club

Following an underwhelming start to the season from his under-fire outfit, Fremantle coach Ross Lyon has begun quietly sounding out rival clubs in hope of finding himself a new home.

The Dockers are 0-3 to start the season and it remains to be seen whether they can salvage something from the year, but if all goes to plan for the master coach he wont be around to find out.

Im thinking a little stint up on the sunny Gold Coast could be nice for me right now, he told his closest confidant. Theyre a team on the rise, but they score way too much. I reckon I can go up there, rein in the attacking mentality a little and turn them into a perfectly dull, successful side.

Lyon has also confirmed that he wont be going anywhere unless trusty defender Zac Dawson is part of a package deal.

Ross and Zac have always been sleeping together

Rumour is that Zac Dawson is going to re-sign with St Kilda.

They have signed Josh Bruce for 4 years and Zac is key for their defence

pigs arse,Zac the hack won't get to within 500 km of St Kilda, I will personally make sure of that.

Truffles waxing lyrical to the Chinese about AFL

There are calls from people like Kevin Sheepy to have all 1st round matches played overseas, then a bye in what be round 2. Round 2 start in the 3rd week. That would mean aussies would have to wait 2 weeks after the season starts to go and see their team play, if they had a home game or maybe wait longer.

Well gang, another tough round for us to tip.

WC v Richmond - hard for me to get a line on WC at the minute.

Only beaten Freo and Brisbane who are both winless.

Richmond have won their last 3 in Perth. They've been murdered

in the press this week. Time for them to make a statement?

Hawks v St's - The Hawks have set themselves for the last 2 games.

They might be 5% off and the St's are full of confidence. Could we see

an upset here?

Ade v Syd is the game of the round. Ade's forward line looks too strong

for Syd but the Swans, led by Parker are in supreme nick. Toss of the coin

for me.

GWS should beat Port in Canberra but Port could provide some nuisance value.

Coll V Melbourne - a real tough one. Like Richmond, the Pies have been pilloried in the press.

Win this and they can get the season back on track as their next 3 games are against Essendon,

Lions and Carlton. Melbourne looked good last week and were a bit unlucky to lose.

One last chance for the Pies?

North v- Freo - The unbeaten North versus the winless Dockers. On paper it looks like mission impossible.

Sandilands a huge out for Freo along with their skipper Barramundi.

North have a history of dropping games they shouldn't. Will it continue or will they go 4 nil up?

All the breast fellas.

My hard choices are Swans - Crows (swans) Pies - Demons (pies)

Topless dancer causes stir at RCA night club.

This is the farangs fault. Prayuth said the west has introduced these ways to Thailand. Look at the presenters dressed in western clothing and even Prayuth has fallen victim to western ways, he occasionally dresses in a suit and tie.

Made the Australian news and a mixture of laughter towards the self appointed thai P.M and disgust at his comments. He has be referred to as an uneducated misogynist.

Interesting how Prayuth's comment revisits the statement of some Australian imam ( forget the idiot's name ) who compared women who did not dress to Muslim standards to "uncovered meat". Then proceeded to excuse rape on the same grounds.

I do have to wonder how Thailand's PM can persist with the nightly TV monologues. It's obvious in Northern Thailand his Thai audience gets most of their entertainment from mocking him. His falang audience is amazed by the stamina of his vocal cords.

that was my first thought. Sheik Hilali, Australia's most senior cleric said uncovered women, women who dont cover themselves completely are like exposed meat and if animals come to feed off them then it is their fault. I think the tool prayuth and the cleric would get along well together as they seem to be on the same wave length.

Topless Farrang Fined 100 Baht in Chiang Mai

Yes I think it is a crack down only on farangs destroying Thailand's image. A young farang male arrested for not wearing a shirt meanwhile hundreds of Thai males shirtless and lots of unwrapped candy running around.

Are orange cars ilegal in Thailand?

Josh Bruce has turned down huge offers from the Dockers and Essendon and is resigning with the saints.

Let me guess, the fasten seat belt signs came on and this person was probably one of those who thought it didn't apply to them. I have been on flights during rough turbulence, cabin crew have strapped themselves in and some numbskull gets up and starts going threw the overhead locker. This not only endangers thier safety but other passengers and cabin crew who have to get up to get the idiot back into thier seat.

Brave thai, taking on on a defenseless elderly man on his own, didn't need a pack of dogs to help.

Idi Amin was a lovely guy.

While I agree with the removal of the Jet-Ski's operations from this beach there remains a lot missing.

The Jet-Ski operations else where (Pattaya, Samui, Phuket) that have been so problematic for tourists could do with very similar treatment. I wonder why the Military have not been tasked with targeting these...

Additionally, it seems rather convenient to blame the decline of the local 'shrimp & Prawn' on the Jet-ski operations. I can't see 6 jet-ski's have such a dramatic effect, I would suspect over farming / fishing to be a far more likely culprit.

yep over fishing and raw drains and sewage flowing out to sea doesn't help either

Well, the article suggests that it IS an anti-gay slur in France, but I'm suggesting that possibly it's less a severe one there. Yes, in the U.S. it's very severe.

There are LEVELS of slurs and it's natural that the levels would sometimes be different in different countries for the same word, especially foreign words.

For example, in the U.S. saying "f you" isn't usually that big a deal but say it to a Thai and you're often risking your life.

Just recently I learned the ORIGIN of the British slur p--f. I had considered it rather whimsical (it's not common in the U.S.) but knowing the origin, not so much.

As far as French law, I don't think this ruling suggests that it is officially recommended to use the slur faggots, but rather that it is not CRIMINALIZING it. That sounds entirely reasonable.

and in Australia if you called someone a Bastard it is a term of endearment. Hey you old bastard, how they hanging cobber
