Puts paid to the lie that Aussies are good-humoured all-round good sports.

Miserable fuckers with their win at any costs attitude.

To be honest I'd find it bloody annoying if I had that dudes trumpet in my ear all day - he was warned and he did know that it was banned!!

That bloody drum and trumpet at the England games does my head in!!

...as opposed to a bunch of pissheads repeating

"Aussie Aussie Aussie....oi oi oi!" all day?

 

[Buzzer]

...and I find it annoying that we're crap at cricket.

Are the aussies going to do anything about that then?

No, they bloody well aren't. One rule for them and another for us.

Hmmmm, that term's been around for years at football games...some teams fans sing "XXXX's blue & white army" say, while others have always done "xxxx's barmy army".

Shame though that the Gabba isn't owned by The ACB, and has its own set of rules, sadly the ACB should have told the Barmy Army that, unless thats a very one sided article?

Exactly what I thought.

[Uncle Buck]

Am sure there is another version of this little number;

When I was six, I had no sense
I bought a flute for fifty pence
The only tune that I could play
Was 'Michael Vaughan's Barmy Army'

 

[Tubby Mondays]

If they are 'Barmy' and arent 'school children', why do they need an organiser?

The JBRA hasnt got an organiser and look what weve acheived...
