FOOTBALL FANATICS

If asked to describe myself with one adjective I guess it would be Passionate
I'm sure that 4 of the 5 meanings listed in the dictionary apply to me - I'm definitely passionate about my family, my friends, scrapbooking, my political beliefs, social justice, the envioronment, the colour pink and my football team the Western Bulldogs. My passion for the Doggies is well known among my family....I'll miss family dinner on Sunday nights to watch 'my boys' play in twilight games, I know I become very vocal - in fact some may say bordering on 'ferral'....not real proud of that, but sometimes I hear words I really don't think came out of my mouth but there's no one else around! (lol)

Last night we went to the Gabba to watch the Doggies and the Lions, had great seats behind the goals (Lions Cheer squad end) surrounded by many families sporting Red, White & Blue but outnumbered naturally by Lions fans.....the Doggies showed us the tenacity that they have been showing earlier this year, yes I yelled and cheered and jumped up etc like a true footy fan, enjoyed the delight of the two young boys (who probably were amused by an old lady getting so fanatical) behind me and didn't mind how many times I got knocked on the head by their flag....

No matter how passionate and fanatical I am about my Doggies I could never resort to the low antics of the Brisbane Lions female supporter who threw beer over Brad Johnson.....I hope that today after seeing herself shown on TV that she is ashamed of her behaviour.....sure it didn't hurt him, but next time her anger overpowers her at a sports match it may not be just liquid she throws.....compared to other codes of football AFL supporters and players bring less ill-repute to their code, lets keep it that way.
