Worst Sporting moment of 2006

So many to choose from!

England's shitting rugby effort. The very first ball of the test series. How about the very last ball of the test series last night?
Any of these:
Brighton 0-2 Sheff Wed => relegation
Brighton 1-4 Crewe
Brighton 0-3 Blackpool
Oh and how could I forget more failure from our international footballers. Several shit performances, led rudderlessly by a pitiful and grossly overpaid manager bereft of ideas and inspiration in the World Cup. What an utter disaster in a tournament that we genuinely had the capability to win.

A tradition manfully continued by the ruddy faced tosser, Steve McClaret. And Paul Robinson's wonderful airkick in Croatia.

Yes it's truly been a wankingly POO sporting year. I'd say that I can't think of a worse year in my 35 years. Even team of the year in the BBC Sports Personality went to a team in a sport that only a fraction of the country gives a toss about.

But for me, one terrible moment stands out in an ocean of shitness. Worse than relegation. Worse than England WC failure, and obviously worse than the shitness of 8 rugby defeats...

Waking up, turning on teletext to get the score on day 5 from Adelaide in the second test - and finding that England (68 ahead with 9 wickets standing on the final day of a test match) were within 20 minutes of certain defeat. Utterly gutwrenching. Awful awful awful. :nono: If it wasn't for the fact that we've been soooo shit in every other test match of the series, I'd probably still not believe it actually happened.

The Crewe game for me, I was sure we were going to win that. :down:

The Palace game was in 2005.
Thanks for that. But sadly, that's failed to transform 2006 into a Vintage year for sport.

Anyway, what was your worst sporting moment, ALAN?

Stoke game was the pits.
Indeed. However, while it was appalling to lose gutlessly 5-1 at home, we were already down at that point (comfortably).

I would have said the Stoke City game, but that was tragedy and comedy in equal measure - a real gallows humourist's dream.

I like to focus on the positives, you know - keep it upbeat, so I am going to say Lancashire's attitude to Sussex whooping their asses. Twice. Very unsporting. It's either that, or Sussex not winning the Pro40 championship when Essex held the door wide open for us on the last day of the season.

You won a fat pile of cash on an 80/1 long shot, you miserable f***. :p
But you two miserable bastards were quick enough to jump on the bandwagon and back it too, don't say I never do anything for you... A beer each should cover it on the Albion race day...

Which I believe to be Apr 29th.

:lolol: :lolol: :lolol:

Albion related has to be the Blackpool game. A total embarassment live on Sky tv.

Non-Albion, the World Cup. Maybe I was a victim of the pre-tournament hype, but I really did think we had a chance this year, semi-finals at least.

Got to be the World cup for me. All that hype + expectation. The marvellous travelling fans creating an absolute carnival. Then those overpaid c* nts put in several showers of shit performances and let the entire country down

I suppose our rugby league boys did well by only managing to lose three out of four tri-nations matches this autumn. :rolleyes:
