Who the hell thought that the colours yellow and red go together?
It's yellow red and sky blue

The yellow represents the sun which is golden, and the sand

The blue represents the water and the sky

The red represents the colour on the face of whoever loses to them



Also:
They should rename themselves the SUMS because grade 3 arithmetic is harder to beat

Looked up more photos of the Malayan Sun Bear after seeing that picture in this thread.

Just saw a few photos of my new favourite animal that only a scumbag would like.

The Suns can * off for that.
 
Seb Tape. Zero awareness.

That still makes me rage. The league basically said,

1) A player can chase another player who he is intending to tackle, in any manner he chooses. Head down, no profiterole [sic] vision, no awareness beyond his own lane a la a sprinter at an athletics track? Doesn't matter. You don't have to have a care in the world. You're completely free of any responsibility for your own safety. Just worry about sticking that horse collar.

2) Hartlett, in choosing to protect Wingard [the most valuable playing commodity the club had at that time by an absolute street] with a shepherd, had to do so in a manner that resulted in zero contact to the head. Incidental or otherwise. Even if the chaser was contributing to his own demise by blindly sprinting with his head forward and low.

Ultimately, in getting as low as possible, with feet planted, elbow tucked in and shoulder down, Hartlett impacted Tape predominantly in the chest, with the shearing forces of the impact and a partial head clash causing the SUNS player's brain to blue screen.

Remember though, this wasn't one of those clear "alternative was to tackle" scenarios.

The only alternative for Hartlett was to either watch Tape go past and potentially run down and tackle Wingard, leaving his teammate exposed to potential injury, the team missing out on a goalscoring opportunity and being labelled an unreliable selfish squib himself - or go into the block half-hearted and limp out of overconcern for tunnel-vision Tape, vastly increasing the chances of himself coming off second best and getting hurt given the SUNS player would have all the momentum at impact.

Insane.

The funny thing is, given the re-jig for incidental head contact a couple of years ago - exemplified by the ludicrous exoneration of Ryan Burton for sending Shaun Higgins into la-la land despite picking him off high when the North player had the ball and the clear alternative to tackle was spurned - Hartlett would actually get off that now.
