2020 SEASON SUSPENDED

[LP]

Korean Soccer league is using blow up dolls to simulate crowds and the Germans have a novel idea to make a buck as well as entertain the fans by offering the supporters a chance to get cardboard cutouts of themselves and positioning them in the seats holding signs etc. Koreans got a bit ahead of themselves and used the wrong type of blow up dolls initially......the adult only variety...?

You can't make those sort of stuff up, it's that funny, and no matter how good they think they are eventually the fakes get exposed.

I remember some controversy a few years back, in a big NRL game there was a massive hit and a major player broke a leg, the fans all saw that and went deadly quiet but the audio effects person missed it and queued up a cheers and jeers! The TV studio commentary crew lambasted the crowd for cheering and jeering a severe injury, before it was exposed on radio commentary as a faux pas by the broadcast crew. Nothing was ever officially mentioned, the issue just went quiet!

Must I correct you all the time about your spelling EB?  It's "stimulate" with a "T"

The AFL Integrity Unit and VicPol aren’t taking such a soft line. 

At the very least, he has failed to comply with COVID-19 requirements.

I'm not sure why the HS kept putting it as a main story - the way I read the situation, it may have been self inflicted?

Re footy - It was atmosphere-less that first game, it sounded like a training drill - I would prefer some noise, fake or otherwise.  I've been watching our winning replays from last year (yes, i am that desperate), and the Benny Hill music would definitely have been right at home in some of our games!

Cap, I did see a photo from Sth Korea and it was a bit like that scene from " Flying High" in the cockpit, the dolls all had that smile on their face.....?

I want to know, with no crowd, hence no facilities needed, why can't we play home games at Princes Park. Geelong can play at home, why not the rest of us.

I was going to add that to my post EB.  I took a girl on a second date to that movie (me not knowing the scene beforehand of course) but she was offended and walked out.  I stayed.

Holy mackerel, what a prude... dodged a bullet there Old Son  ?

You watch what happens to this Mickey Mouse season when the stars wake up to the idea of playing for 1/2 or 1/3rd pay!

Any odds on a trivial but nagging injury "ending the season" for Dangerfield?
