This rant bought to you by a rabid Manly Warringah Sea Eagles fan
Parental discretion is advised as the following rant is on an R 18+ Rating

Now for those of you who stayed to read arguably the most pissed off and foul
languaged peice of rant of 2010

Enjoy


Yes,i have been mindraped as i seen us as the only team capable of october glory
Since making these predictions,2 suspensions,a few season ending injuries on top of
the ones we started with and more rough calls than a homosexual client in a brothel

King got a week? Serious he barely touched him
G Stewart looked all self preservy to me,stupid but shit happens
Matai.......had a brain explosion,i dont think he'd deliberately do that
Dogkinson can lima lima lima duck off to the dishlickers now and never come back
Foran is injured
Watmoughs in doubt
Bailey DIDNT lima lima lima duck GET SUSPENDED,That shit deserved 28 weeks at least!!!
Wolfman has had front row seats all year,shit injury
B Stewart.....god 78 minutes in an entire season.....unlucky but shit happens
And Don Seige has seemed to be payed for nothing,our team looks more tired
than a prostitute at 1pm after pulling an all nighter

And Harrigan is most likely for top ref job,lima lima lima duck marvelous,the *lima lima lima duck* Bozo should have
ran down with a cement truck years ago

On signing news we have nothing,no retention news or new signings besides someone
from the dogs park footy team....we've lost Farrar,Dogko,Tasi (from the 20s),Perry and someone
else im sure of it

We need *lima lima lima duck* jesus now

I hate to draw a comparrison but you think you guys had a *lima lima lima duck* of a year,ours was barely any better

Oh and lets not forget the jealous fags who hate us just because theyre jealous,you know the type
"Who do yew go fer sunny?" "Why manly my good chap" "Ewww manly,i think me dog has pewked up
better things then a manly sup'orter and me wife/sister is hangin owt for a rewt,lemme go fix er up"

Im sure you guys with the same kind of aura have the same kind of inbred *lima lima lima duck* saying the same sort
of shit

On the upside

Broncos,Souths and Parra all missed the finals
And Saints are the perrenial chokers

Bring on 2011 and a new lima lima lima duck CEO,Anyone but Lowe or Waldron would be perfect,Grant Mayer would be
personal preference!


Now on to you guys,honestly year from hell but with less than nothing to lose....well i sometimes envy that
your guys had no reason to play,could have damn near forfeited the entire year and away games they may
as well have forfeited,Gallop and Waldron/Co should be hanging by a fishing hook that goes in the empty space
between the ballsack and the asshole from the top of sydney tower if it had a revolving floor

On the other hand us with a comp to win made infinatly easier......well lets just say we've underperformed and leave
it alone

END RANT!!!

Oh lima lima lima duck lol.....

IT'S almost enough to set aside fans' traditional animosity toward the NRL's most hated club.

The Des Hasler-coached Manly Sea Eagles will face a red-hot St George Illawarra as the most weakened side ever to enter a league finals series.

The Daily Telegraph can today reveal the Sea Eagles have a staggering 14 players either already out or in doubt for Sunday's qualifying final against the minor premiers at Kogarah.

Effectively, Manly could take the field minus an entire football team.

The situation is so dire the Sea Eagles cannot train today and will only have a brief swimming session.

Bookmakers have posted them as $34 outsiders to win the premiership, with the Dragons tightening into $2.50.Such is the Sea Eagles' plight, Manly captain Jamie Lyon has declared a win on Sunday will rank among the greatest in his club's 63-year history.

End of sidebar. Return to start of sidebar.


On a day the one-time Silvertails' title hopes slumped:

THREE Manly players were charged by the NRL match review committee - Steve Matai, Jason King and Chris Bailey. Matai is looking at a suspension of either seven or nine matches.

FIVE-EIGHTH Kieran Foran (shoulder) was ruled out for the season, joining Glenn Stewart (suspended) and
injured trio Brett Stewart, David Williams and Shane Rodney; and

REPRESENTATIVE back-rower Anthony Watmough confirmed he is in grave doubt for the final with an ankle injury, while inspirational captain Jamie Lyon is also battling a painful ankle injury.

Matai, who knocked out Bulldogs hooker Michael Ennis with a late tackle, is expected to plead guilty today and be banished for seven games, while King may fight a one-match suspension for a high tackle.

Bailey will be free to play after an early plea.

ARL CEO Geoff Carr said Matai could serve some matches in the Four Nations series if selected in the New Zealand squad.

King is also carrying an ankle injury while Matt Ballin (concussion), Brent Kite (collarbone), Joe Galuvao (groin) and Ben Farrar (shoulder) are fighting to play.

The logical replacement for Matai, Toyota Cup star Dean Whare, is also unavailable due to injury.

Manly's despair comes as the Dragons easily claimed the minor premiership and had the luxury of resting four players for Sunday night's match against Souths.

Asked would an against-the-odds win be one of Manly's finest, Lyon said: "I think so. It will be a great win if we can do it. It is a great opportunity. It's a final so there aren't many bigger challenges.

"It will be a massive task but we are capable of beating anyone on our day. Everyone expects the Dragons to win so there won't be much pressure on us.

"It's going to be a bit of a nervous wait [for the injured players].

"We have got a few out but we're confident in the players we have available.

"We don't know exactly who's in or who's out at the moment.

"We probably won't know for a few days yet. We could well have quite a few out."

Now in poetry from a marvellous dead man
It summarises Manlys exit from the finals
starting in week 25


The Hollow Men

I


We are the hollow men
We are the stuffed men
Leaning together
Headpiece filled with straw. Alas!
Our dried voices, when
We whisper together
Are quiet and meaningless
As wind in dry grass
Or rats' feet over broken glass
In our dry cellar

Shape without form, shade without colour,
Paralysed force, gesture without motion;

Those who have crossed
With direct eyes, to death's other Kingdom
Remember us -- if at all -- not as lost
Violent souls, but only
As the hollow men
The stuffed men.


II


Eyes I dare not meet in dreams
In death's dream kingdom
These do not appear:
There, the eyes are
Sunlight on a broken column
There, is a tree swinging
And voices are
In the wind's singing
More distant and more solemn
Than a fading star.

Let me be no nearer
In death's dream kingdom
Let me also wear
Such deliberate disguises
Rat's coat, crowskin, crossed staves
In a field
Behaving as the wind behaves
No nearer --

Not that final meeting
In the twilight kingdom


III


This is the dead land
This is cactus land
Here the stone images
Are raised, here they receive
The supplication of a dead man's hand
Under the twinkle of a fading star.

Is it like this
In death's other kingdom
Waking alone
At the hour when we are
Trembling with tenderness
Lips that would kiss
Form prayers to broken stone.


IV


The eyes are not here
There are no eyes here
In this valley of dying stars
In this hollow valley
This broken jaw of our lost kingdoms

In this last of meeting places
We grope together
And avoid speech
Gathered on this beach of the tumid river

Sightless, unless
The eyes reappear
As the perpetual star
Multifoliate rose
Of death's twilight kingdom
The hope only
Of empty men.


V


Here we go round the prickly pear
Prickly pear prickly pear
Here we go round the prickly pear
At five o'clock in the morning.

Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow

For Thine is the Kingdom

Between the conception
And the creation
Between the emotion
And the response
Falls the Shadow


Life is very long

Between the desire
And the spasm
Between the potency
And the existence
Between the essence
And the descent
Falls the Shadow

For Thine is the Kingdom


For Thine is
Life is
For Thine is the

This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
This is the way the world ends
Not with a bang but a whimper.

From what i can gather the poem is about our mortality as humans

Its a nice peice,very surreal,i only stumbled across it from its last few lines

You'd probably like This be the Verse then.
