We the players and management of the Alberton Qootball Club accept the heritage which players and administrators have passed down to us. In so doing we do not intend to rest in idleness but shall strive with all our power to further the drunken revelries of our forebears.

To do this we believe -
There is great honour and merit in getting booze when it is on special
That to be drunk one must consume at least 5 standard drinks per hour

We believe that inebriation is well within our reach and that each member of both the team and management will suffer hangovers for the common end.

Also we know that should we, after drinking as much as possible, still not reach a state of alcohol poisoning our efforts will become a further part of this clubs noble tradition.

Finally we concede that there can be honour in being half cut, but to each of us honourable semi inebriation can come only after the endeavour to score enough beer and spirits has been completely exhausted.

Swamprats all, let us rejoice
For we are undie free
With golden beer and rivals tears
Our women we don't see

Underground we dwell, we drink and yell,
We're loud and we don't care,
We live in pubs, do lots of drugs
Swamprats don't play fair.

Underground we dwell, we drink and yell,
We're loud and we don't care,
In drunken rants, we lose our pants
Swamprats don't play fair

Beer, beer! The black and the white
Honour the beer by day and by night
Lift that pint of stout up high
Chug down the f***er til it's dry

Whether the pub be great or be small
We'll clean it out and spew over all
While our Swamprats keep on drinking
Onwards to pi**ed glory!

[Jabba73]

If you only exists to win premierships, and you aren’t winning them, is it time to remove the Bye and fold the Swampies?

 

[GremioPower]

If you only exists to win premierships, and you aren’t winning them, is it time to remove the Bye and fold the Swampies?

Wait and see…

 

[spookism]

Oh, so this is a thing already

 

[jackster83]

The Swamprats would like to wish the retiring Dewyyyyy all the best as he pursues bigger dreams than just being the champion of qooty. Thanks for your efforts and your feisty posting during your time at Sin City.

Likewise Grav, you were a valued member of the Rats and the LG. Best of luck at your new club but don't expect us to go easy on you.

 

[jackster83]

Okeywatch: 1.2 on Sunday puts him to 999 goals overall.

 

[philreich]

If you only exists to win premierships, and you aren’t winning them, is it time to remove the Bye and fold the Swampies?

If we were getting rid of clubs that aren't winning flags, there'd only be about 4 clubs left .

 

[Headless]

Ant Bear INT2

 

[jackster83]

Time for the first installment of #ratstats for season 36. I know Headless is keen to see how our boys and girls are doing.



#okeywatch: 1004 goals

 

[jackster83]

Just catching up on updating the honours board.

 

[jackster83]

Time for the next edition of #ratstats.

R4 saw a close loss in a low scoring affair against the Dragons.



#okeywatch: still 1004 goals

Next game vs Coney Island Warriors (A)

OFFICIAL CLUB STATEMENT RE: TEAM SELECTION

Club Chair-rat David Qoch:


"Here at Sin City, we exist to win premierships. Unfortunately in the second half of last season and the first month of this season we have not been getting the results we expect, and our lack of potency in front of the sticks is a big part of that.


philreich has been in outstanding goalkicking form for a while now, including the SoO games in the off-season. Practicing his shots at goal while he is supposed to be working has really paid off. We feel he will really complement Jewelsbon on the goal line.


This was a tough decision made with the consent of (most of) the leadership group. We want to assure our supporters that okeydoke7 is still a valuable part of the side and we'll back him in to rediscover his best form. We also still have limited stocks of #Okey1000 merchandise available for purchase in our gift shop.


We will not be taking further questions at this time."

 

[Grav]

Hey Swampies how’s my 2nd favourite team holding up? Notice the SIM still doesn’t like you even after changing captains, surely the storm has got to break soon. Will keep my fingers crossed that things start improving this week against the Roy, think it’s time you made the Underground a ground to be feared.

Things will turn around at some point. If not, we'll have to start sandbagging our reserves side to win the flag at that level instead.

okeydoke7 full forward is available for the Alberton Swamprats in the SPAM FL

 

[jackster83]

#ratstats for round 5. A tough day against the Wazza's.



#okeywatch: has been named at CHB in this week's team.

Next game vs Roys FFC (H)

 

[jackster83]

Well I've been a bit slack lately, but fortunately, my team mates haven't been. #ratstats is back with two wins on the trot!


#okeywatch - he's still kicking goals from the backline. All-SFA CHB beckons.

Next up is the Bears (H).

 

[jackster83]

Time for the next installment of #ratstats. Pleasingly, we brought up the #rat-trick with a close win over the Bears.



Next up is the Old Boys (H).

 

[philreich]

Another one ticked off the list, and we're absolutely guaranteed to avoid defeat this week. Bring on the Furies next week!!!

 

[jackster83]

Today is six years since we lost Drazah.
