In the 80s when I was just getting a global understanding of the game the Serie A was the bomb. From memory sbs ran a weekly 1hour show of just the Serie A. That used to be taped religiously. Some of the players that used to play in the day. Wow. And thinking back I reackon they had a foreign player rule also 2 or 3 so teams really only brought in the best of best. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Serie A show was definitely going on when I was a kid too, so at least the 90s if not early 2000s? I remember TWG used to be like 10am to 6pm on Sunday or something ridiculous like that, starting with the Serie A. Then it slowly decreased in time span over the years.

The biggest excitement was one Sunday night they showed the final game of the season live and I think it was the decider. Maradonas Napoli was playing. Back then any live games were massive.

It's probably not even their fault, just the millions of fan boys. Definitely any club where your usual fanboy will talk like "we played well last", "we need to sign ** ", "we didn't defend", when they have never seen them play or even live in the same country. There's a difference between following a club, and supporting a club. I "follow" Port Vale in League One, I don't have their kit or talk about them much, I just "follow" their results and progress. Whereas I support Melbourne Heart(RIP)/City, I go to games, I buy the kit, I watch the women's team, and would let Bruno have my babies. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeartFc Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 TTIM: Metro. Fucking. Trains. Every second day my train is late anywhere between 5-10 minutes which fucks my connecting bus route. I got fed up and decided to take a photo with my phone to start documenting it so I could write up letter asking for a refund for my 3 month myki pass. To my surprise I couldn't take a photo of the electronic timetable due to a film on the glass casing which clouds against the whole board being visible in a single photo. (conveniently "scheduled time" and "arrival time" couldn't be taken in 1 photo.) So I decide to record it instead and tilted the camera back and forth so I could capture all angles at once instead of taking 5 photos. I was there for 30 seconds max when some peanut women gets on the pa system telling me to stop. I could only faintly heard but I assumed it was just "stop taking photos" etc. Anyway I jumped on the next (late) train and googled what the fuss was about and apparently no photography on metro station platforms because of "safety reasons"... riiiiight because I was at greater risk than the retarded 17 year old girls I see every fucking friday night take 35 selfies within a meter of the tracks after a fruity lexia goon binge. Get fucked you fucking shitty Mao communist railway system! They don't want one cunt jewing them over for $400 bucks coz they know once one gets their hard earned back and spreads the word they'll be up for more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted April 13, 2017 Report Share Posted April 13, 2017 TTIM: "safety reasons" being trotted out as a reason for doing/not doing something when when there's no such reason whatsoever. Happens all too frequently. In the case above, there is no such regulation preventing you from taking a photograph at a station. From http://www.metrotrains.com.au/filming-and-photography/ FILMING AND PHOTOGRAPHY Metro appreciates that trains, stations and railway assets make popular subjects when it comes to filming and photography. Whilst we understand the widespread desire to capture images of the railway, safety remains our number one priority. That’s why the following procedures are in place to ensure that all activities relating to filming and photography are carried out effectively and safely. Thanks for understanding our commitment to safety. Now, let’s look at the current procedures for filming and photography… Amateur Filming and Photography If you are a tourist or amateur photographer, you are permitted to take footage and photographs at a station using a handheld smart device or basic SLR camera (without a tripod). If you are in the rail reserve, you must capture images from a safe distance behind a railway fence or from a pedestrian rail bridge (with or without a tripod). The following guidelines must be observed to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. When at the station, please stay behind the yellow line Always mind the gap between the train and the platform You cannot use a tripod at a station unless you have a permit from Metro You cannot capture images on board a train unless you have a permit from Metro You cannot capture images of rail staff unless you have their expressed permission Respect the wishes of those passengers who ask not to be photographed Activities should not impede customer traffic or delay train services No artificial lighting can be directed toward oncoming trains At all times, you must abide by these guidelines and take direction from railway staff Be safe, all filming and photography is undertaken at your own risk Professional / Student Filming and Photography If you are seeking to a capture images or footage as part of a professional production or student project, you will need a permit from Metro. Download the Professional and Student Filming and Photography Application and complete the details on the form. Metro will review your application for any station on the metropolitan network, with the exception of Southern Cross (these enquiries should be directed to JCDecaux). After you submit the form, there is generally a two week turnaround, but complex applications may take longer so please plan ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeartFc Posted April 14, 2017 Report Share Posted April 14, 2017 Yeah that makes sense coz I see people taking photos basically everyday, they only seem to get upset once you point that camera at their timetable showing how late they are.

Seriously good place to live imo. Has all the main shops and things, only an hour and a bit to Melbourne for pro sport, gigs etc, nearest beach is about an hour, cost of living is significantly cheaper than Melbourne, housing affordability is much better (and in a very good place for investment imo), and you dont have to worry about traffic whatsoever. Takes me about 3 1/2 minutes to drive to work in the morning and i prob live 3 or so k's away. Plus heritage n'shit, Sovereign Hill is pretty cool. Not saying I think it's better than Melbourne, cos its not, but its got a lot of things that Melb can't offer without being middle of bum-fuck nowhere. Main negative : it's always about 2-3 degrees colder than Melb, which is very noticeable in winter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
