Hah yeah back on nice familiar ground ... can put away the farken Theosaurus req'd at the Victory games ....

[Daydream]

Their is a loss :rolleyes:

Im booked and there

I think it is a loss when such things are arranged for Socceroos matches that are inappropriate to take kids to, ESPECIALLY seeing very very few Socceroos matches will be shown free to air once the Foxtell deal kicks in.

Nice to see GGArmy encouraging the younger supporters of the Socceroos.

:violin:

Then find somewhere else to watch it.

GGArmy is a group... we have the right to do and sing what we want :nod:

[mlmorris]

Still hoping that someone will grab me some tickets and I can give them tickets back, or I can just pay on the day. Sounds like a great event

[Age]

your all booked son ;)

Hi Daydream!!!,

Just responding to your above post, kids are welcome at the breakfast function. Yes, it is a licenced venue but the breakfast is in the resturant part of the venue.

Kids are allowed into licenced venues(resturents) if they are SUPERVISED by an adult, so it shouldn't be a problem.

If my memory serves me i'm pretty sure you watched one of the Asian Cup games from the Turf bar and had your kid with you.

So i'm not sure what your going on about above!!!!!

We try to cater for all our members!

Hope this clears some things up

Cheers

Thank you Kramer, I appreciate your response.

Yes me and the kid were at the Socceroos vs Kuwait at the turf bar, left with a football and a massive Bresciano cut out thingy, had a great night.
Also sat away from the GGarmy group as we were not allowed to be in the area that everyone gathered in.

What I have issues with is the environment that is created that I can't allow my kid to be exposed to, specifically sexist, demeaning chants, that looks like will be promoted on Wednesday morning. I know that those who sing them do so in a mindset that interprets them as hilarious, but a kid doesn't have the maturity to understand what it's all about, so I don't want to envelop him in it, as a normal way to celebrate football.

I was also responding directly to Daims, who is a member of the GGArmy, and seemed to indicate, as I interpreted it, that it was no great loss that me and my kid deemed it inappropriate to attend.

Tis a shame cos he and I would LOVE to come down and have breakfast and catch up with everyone. Especially the kid, cos he'd get to have bacon (poor kid, meater being raise in a vego house, whenever he gets meet he thinks he's in heaven).

I might reassess my thoughts on it Tuesday night.

I hope to see you there and hope we behave ourselves... you won't hear a sexist comment from me if thats any consolation :)

[Daydream]

That's kind of you to say, the more I think about it, the more I think we might be able to come down so long as we sit well away from the big groups....

We both LOVE to watch the game with others, plus school and work are both very close to the city. win win win situation.

I dont think you'll have too many problems with language or bad behaviour at 7am on a Wednesay morning.. rightly or wrongly tends to be proportional to amount of alcholol consumed ..

And I agree we should lose the sexist chants altogether .. if your referring to the Posh Spice one - yes its crude and has bad language and definately not for kids ears .. but sexist ? I dont think so, it's done in gest and involves poking fun at individuals not a group or sex .. and often gets a lot of laughs .. we can switch it to a female-friendly version if you like !?

The ones I've never felt comfortable singing are 'Melbourne is so wonderful .. ' , 'xxxx out for the lads' etc... I dont like them because they definately *are* sexist and give our supporters a poor image .. and doesnt encourage more female attendance which football games sadly lack..

But you rarely hear those sung at GGArmy gatherings anyway its definately more of the club game crowd chant ..

So if it means anything I dont think you'll have a problem .. hope you and your kid can come and have a great time !

:)

I agree with absolutely everything you've said.

And no I don't want a female friendly version of the Posh Spice chant, thansk for offering but, very sweet of ya!

Here's a dirty little secret I have, I've read both Posh Spice's AND David Beckhams autobiographies, and her views on that chant. Has changed my view on it somewhat, even though she is a mega famous mega rich mega fortunate woman, I still have empathy for others who are hurt by stuff, but I'm making a mountain out of a mole hill, agree, it's basically crude, dumb and juvenile.

When I say sexist I was referring to the other chant that I'm renowned for hating.....and i've seen the "tits out" chant used in a not very nice way....

Thanks Vicnut, appreciate it.

due to lack of funds and wanting to go to asia cup 2007 i will be back in january...then heading back to uk (hopefully dublin) after asia cup..

unfortunately living out of home and pissing it up every night in London is no way to save money:)

Thats exactly what im doing.

Off to the UK after Asia!

We will need to chat :)

[nath]

certainly will mate...yer i forgot to tell you I was heading back...made up my mind the other week...

my brothers got me a job at home waiting for me..work for 6 months...save my ass off.... so basically im gonna have to almost give up drinking for 6 months..hehe

Been looking at a visa for ireland, had so much fun in dublin last week with the international rules id really like to live there. Would do London again in a heartbeat though...just need to sort me out a job thats not in the hospitality industry....so it pays a little better...that industry is disgraceful over here monetary wise...

[Kat]

nath, i envy u right now

would love to do what youre doing right now

[nath]

nath, i envy u right now

would love to do what youre doing right now

DO IT!!!!

or maybe your at uni??

its the best thing youll ever do...must do it while your young...

its weird for me cos i usually get really homesick....but in London you just feeel like your at home anyway with all the aussies... so ive loved it...and its so close to anywhere...you can fly to ireland and back for 50 bucks....then spend like 20 a night on a hostel...the pounds pretty cool to travel on.

my one regret is not sorting out a well paying job...i have a very good job..ive been promoted twice now in three months...im now a duty manager at the hotel...would be sitting on close to 40k back home with the type of hotel im in..but its the industry i will eventually spend my whole lief in so the experience is priceless

just hospitality in Uk is seriously minimum wage...no jokes....and the cost of living in london is insane...but you work around it....

and the London GGARMY crew are unbelievable.....cant wait to get on the piss with em tonight (and maybe watch the match:)

so talk your boy into it and get him over as well....me you him and daims on the piss here next year...London wouldnt know what hit em!!
