I did something really embarrassing yesterday.
Rioli kicked a long goal at the far end of the ground, but I thought it was Cupido, and as the goal went through I went off and started yelling "Cu-pi-do". A filth supporter turns to me and says "one problem, that was Dean Rioli". I wanted to crawl into a hole. :eek:
Okay, so #43 looks a lot like #13, and they just happen to both be aboriginal, so I guess it is an easy enough mistake to make. But the fact it was a Pie who corrected me just made me wanna go hide.
Cupido had kicked five by that point, so I guess I could be forgiven for force of habit.

Isn't Cupido a South African by birth? Bit embarassing for you Stealth but in the wash up, who cares? Both had blinders.
I did the exact same thing watching from on TV. Wasn't as embarrassing though.
You think thats bad. When hird scored one goal, I went mental thinking it was 'The Bear' (Teddy Richards). Only to be corrected by 50 people that it was infact, Hird.

Don't worry, I thought it was Cupido also and marked the goal down as his, it was only when I looked at the big screen that I found out it was Rioli.

Stealth,
dont worry mate!
It happens!! it happens to everyone!
That Collingwood supporter thought he was good,
but hey,what happend in the end? That was your revenge!!! :)
Don't worry about it, we all make silly mistakes sometimes! I know I was watching one game from where I was staying in Phillip Island with some friends, and cheered on Michael Long... Until I wondered how I'd managed to get into that time warp without noticing, and the tv cut to his face instead of his back. (He doesn't really -look- like Michael Long, even from behind. It was the number 13 that threw me.)
