Andrew Barr gets tough on football - bargains hard for a jersey

damn you axe man, i was about to jump (‘scuse the pu) back in and point out ‘guernsey’ – perhaps these non-grammarians should be popped off to gaol…

and no, holden – much could be read in this and i agree, they in no way exclude an opportunity for a ‘canberra’ guernsey.

I await the AFL’s reply. Bye, bye Canberra

Jabba the Hutt: “We’d like to keep playing football in Canberra and now with the western Sydney team going in 2012 it would give us an opportunity to perhaps cement a much longer relationship with the ACT government … I think it would be good for Canberra and it would (be) good for us”.

His first sentence started with ‘we’d like’, throw in a ‘perhaps’ and an ‘I think it would be good’.

Doesn’t sound definite to me, and easily cocked up by a Minister who wouldn’t know sport from a hole in the ground

I didn’t say it was definite, but it is clearly not the “bye, bye” you seemed to be expecting.

It’s a guernsey. We don’t wear jerseys in football

I only hope he’s as supportive of an A-League team. Aussie Rules is the only form of football I’ve never as I just can”t see the attraction.

I’m quite the opposite, can’t quite understand why anyone would want to spend hours waiting for a single goal in soccer…

Meanwhile, I enjoy that the uniform is nearly as important as getting the actual team here! I guess it’s one way to get the headline anyway.

Now whose silly idea was it to add the extra seating at Bruce making it too small/square for AFL?

You know what I’m going to say…

You know you’re victimizing someone because of their sexual preference.

And now you’ll tell me to lighten up.

Maybe Martin Luther King should have lightened up…

Jabba (nice) did mention on the offsiders this morning that the govt were going to upgrade Manuka to 25,000.

I wonder if he meant Canberra Stadium??

Football Park: Andrew when will it be back?

“I am keen on a [insert whatever]. But my message for the xxx will be simple. I want a proper traditional xxxxx, with xxx, a xxx, a xxx or xxx, not one of the xxx xxx that so many xxx in all xxx of xxx have adopted. A strong xxxxx needs a strong identity
here. Only a proper xxx can deliver that.”

Here’s Barr at the end of his media release in full Rudd-esque cry.
