It's time for the long-awaited return of Crashed Ice, the crazy high-adrenaline sport that pits four guys down an icy track with nothing but their skates and their wits to help them out. It's an odd season this year, extended to five events, but with one in December and then a big wait until the next in 2013. Let's make the most of this one then as we welcome back familiar names like the Croxall brothers, Marty Neifnecker, Arttu, and many more. It's cold, it's exciting, it's brilliant, this is Crashed Ice!
Crashed Ice, Niagara Falls
Published by Christine Blachford on
Yay!
Go Niefy (& R2)
Evening. Can't promise that I'll make it to actually watching any though...
Have you seen Crashed Ice before?
not sure when red bull tv coverage starts, currently showing some crazy sports countdown.
I've seen it around for a good years - I used to watch the Xtreme Sports Channel pretty much constantly :)
Crashed Iiiiiiiiiiice!
Fake heikki shall continue to be my icy rubens.
He should be Fake Rubens then, really :)
:)
he should rename himself to arttu philachello!
Tempted to blast out some ben and jerry's ice cream to prepare...
Is this only online or is it Televised?
televised in the US i heard, online everywhere else.
Thanks. Will have to try to search for it if my friend lets me. At his place watching college football ATM.
Starts about in an hour 15? Am I translating time correctly?
heh. now that is a question. do we have the time right? tweeted earlier in the week but got no response from them. hopefully though, 1h 15m.
What flavour do you have?
there appears to be cookie cream in the freezer
I meant to pick up some Cherry Garcia and I forgot
I've volunteered to cook dinner here tonight...
Might have to get an early start so I'm not doing it during the event...
aww thanks. what we havin'?
Chipotle Turkey Meatballs and Spanish Rice.
excellent. with a starter i hope.
We've got sopressata salami with habenero cheddar.
brilliant, you can come again.
*pssst... christine. what are those words?*
We've had Pizza hut and sparkles :)
What is sparkles?
You are very demanding.
Turkey is a bird.
Meatballs is meat rolled into balls
Cheddar is awful cheese
Hope this explanation helps
Tonight, Cava.
Sparkles was his dog. Now he is their dinner :)
hehe
Steven is on a roll tonight! :D
Sausage roll? Or would that be more of a hot dog?
Perhaps you would prefer my starter
"Vertical partions of loaf bread with a sizzled topping"
or.
"Toast."
Or maybe just a butter cracker.
Hot dog just like Sparkles
There was a running back for Bayolr University today that was running for a touchdown, mid run he pulled his hamstring and still hobbled 35 yards faster than the other team to score the td.
on par with jamie oliver's "crispy music bread" :)
He must have had a good lead at the start of that run
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oJRyNgXss70 Here it is.
Hello. I had a boring dinner of Birds Eye chicken things with chips. I needed something boring after a nice but spicy curry last night. :)
If the end zone had been 5 yards further away he wouldn't have made it
Hi all, love the new look dashboard with the top of the comments in line with FBFB :)
Been out with the girls for curry. Now at home with fruit tea & a box of M&S extremely chocolate biscuits.
Shoot! On Red Bull's site; Unfortunately this live event will be geoblocked in the US. For more information around the event, please visit redbull.com
should be on tv though?
It's not on tv here. :(
We are searching channels trying to find it...not seeing it though..
yay. but it's totally not finished. that's just the minimum christine would except without killing me. look for changes before march.
*ctrl + f march*
Oh yeah I see the changes you mean before when you said the word march in that post. clever. ;)
I did a search on DirecTV and there's nothing.
We use Optimum and didn't see it either.
:) :)
FBFB? :p
8:30 p.m. ET on Sportsnet and TVA Sports from the comfort of your own living room
http://www.redbull.ca/cs/userfiles/file/Red%20Bull%20Crashed%20Ice%20Niagara%20Falls_National%20Shootout%20Release_November%2029%202012_FINAL.pdf
although...
The Red Bull Crashed Ice Niagara Falls race will air on NBC on January 26, 2013
WUT!?!
We must not have those channels.
can red bull tv be tricked with a uk proxy?
there's a chrome extension to unlock us videos for us UK people, could work the other way around?
How are you supposed to live comment something when it is shown 2 months after it happens?
Everyone just remember what you would have said tonight and hold on to it!
i'm gonna bet those comments will be closed :)
I don't have those channels, and if it starts at 7:30, that doesn't start an hour late?
It doesn't matter, I'll see if the stream works for me this year. Last year it was too choppy to watch.
I'm not seeing any vip seating for the event..
sportsnet canada also covering it. any streams for that channel should have it.
Thanks Mr. C! I'm gonna start cooking. I'll swing back in and see if Kai has any success.
CRASHED ICE! How do I see this? It's not showing up in Red Bull TV for iPad that I can see.
How long will tonight last? Or do we think the RB website will work on my phone?
they have an app for streaming. does it support your handset?
they promise it will do. that's how we're planning on watching. red bull tv is a law unto itself however.
enquired direct to @crashedice on twitter about US streaming. recommend you read their reply ;)
I don't understand.
They had a man stream from space.
yeah. nbc. old media sux :(
thankfully, we're smart enough and motivated enough to stick it to the man. am i right?
Wait, they sold rights to NBC so they can't show their own event on their own TV channel?
#fail
they've sold a bundle of sports. i guess the promotion for other niche sports is worth the net loss for crashed ice. utterly crazy.
Wait, this doesnt appear to start until 12:30
have read 7pm and 7:30pm in their documentation. something starts at 7pm, but lord knows if it's being streamed. #badplanning
Red Bull's website has
RED BULL CRASHED ICE: NIAGARA FALLS
2 Dec 2012 12:30 am - 2 Dec 2012 3:00 am (GST)
Remember, they do pre-quals, maybe round of 32 is 12:30?
Where did you get that timezone from? I searched and searched and searched and there were times everywhere with no timezones! BAH!
am sure the plan is require everyone to stay up late and consume red bull :)
also, what is GST?
On the countdown page!
http://live.redbull.tv/events/148/red-bull-crashed-ice-niagara-falls/
Those sneaks!
They failed because I'm drinking Peroni.
global stupid time.
It's all a bonus to me, because I misunderstood one of our conversations and didn't think it started till 2am. This, here, at midnight, is fine.
Well, OK.
heheeheh
Ohhhhh, I don't know if that was there before. Time is so annoying.
I assume Greenwich Summer Time which of course doesn't exist
Greetings from Tundraland Everyone!
I would have guessed Greenwich Standard Time
It really is!
Greenwich Standard Time perhaps
Great Britain Super Time!
I've forgone the trying to watch on my phone in bed option, for the staying up waaay too late option :)
♥
That's the SPC way
looking awesome - http://a.yfrog.com/img576/2493/740qt.jpg
meant to say. not christine's fault. i've broken it right now.
problem with 365 live events is i needs an off-season at some point :)
also cool - http://twitter.com/CrashedIce/status/275023705371983872/photo/1
I was just kidding about the FBFB comment.
i have some recollection of christine doing it before. maybe fixed by the time the season finishes.
I need to go to see Crashed Ice live
big crowd again!
Netherlands is the closest.
WHAT!? You mean they're not freezing the falls into a finishing jump?!
:)
They don't have any hills. Did Tilke design the track there?
to be fair the netherlands track looks awesome
heheheeh
Hehehe. Apparently they have the largest indoor ski piste in Europe. Whatever one of them is.
The next closest is Switzerland.
Perhaps their accent was in fact pointing out a very annoying man who really won't leave at closing hours
Better than I expected
Greetings everyone.
If you need to find out fir you have Sportsnet one on your cable system, here where you can go: http://www.sportsnet.ca/one/
hullo!
Dutch ski-ing? Next you will be telling me there is a jamaican bobsleigh team
Somthing i learnt this year - holland and netherlands are not the same thing
My wife met the mayor of Amsterdam back in September. She said he smells really nice.
There are two provinces/counties/states/whatever in the Netherlands that have Holland in their name. The rest of the Netherlands has nothing to do with Holland
:)
It is only a 150 foot drop to the bottom, and suppolsly another 150 feet to hit the bottom of the waterfall so what I am told....
Red Bull Canada
@RedBullCanada
All laced up and ready for #CrashedIce @NiagaraFalls! pic.twitter.com/OnRLnvlk
Okay you guys, I want you all to know that I rather be here with you guys instead of going 72 km to the east of my current location (45 minutes away) to be at Crushed Ice in person....
they're coming back. can you get to that one?
According to the Tundraland weather station, it is a balmy 4 Celcuis (roughly 40 F) at Melted - I mean "Crushed" Ice. at the moment.
That's warmer than it has been here all week. I saw -5ºC on my dash one morning
should probably plug christine's event preview - http://sidepodcast.com/post/red-bull-crashed-ice-2013-preview
Let's not forget about the whole landing on the knives that you've got on your feet!
Quebec City you mean? Quebec City is only 270 km NE of Montreal, which is only 550 km NE of me, so 820 km NE of here..... And they all speak French very poorly.....(according to French French people....)
Better the knives on your feet than the boulders at the waterfall's cliff edge.....
There's a nice light show on the track apparently....
http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_INT/Event/Red-Bull-Crashed-Ice-Niagara-Falls-021243257737674
Ten minutes now.
oooh!
Anyone got a stream for us yet?
countdown is down to #1. so starting soon.
Where the link?
This feels like the countdown to a rocket launch
am watching the app at the moment. will yell when i have one. have you not got it on tv in canada then?
http://live.redbull.tv/events/148/red-bull-crashed-ice-niagara-falls/
Where's the link? My Wideshot link is too far away....
No rocket launch under an event with CRASH in the title will ever go well...
live.redbull.tv
Might go live in 3-4 minutes for me.... fingers crossed....
I think i understand red bull's lack of time clarity from earlier; they can do whatever they want at any time they want, they don't need a excuse. If anyone questions them, they can just go 'Well did you jump out of space?'
:)
Nice light show going on oon my wide shoot....
Sounds like really heavy rain though
http://www.redbull.com/cs/Satellite/en_INT/Event/Red-Bull-Crashed-Ice-Niagara-Falls-021243257737674
1 minute to go
Once again I can't see it for more than a month, so enjoy everyone. :)
redbull tv is still reviewing rayman...
Nice light show going on oon my wide shoot....
Sounds like really heavy rain though
www.redbull.com/c…s-021243257737674
What you are hearing is Niagara Falls (the Waterfall) herself.....
Hang on and we will find you a stream if we can
00s for me.
noooo :(
http://live.redbull.tv/events/148/red-bull-crashed-ice-niagara-falls/
Try this yankees!
Mmm, countdowns to nothing :)
nothing there yet.
"STREAM WILL LOAD MOMENTARILY..."
Hit refresh
Begining momentarily it says
http://live.redbull.tv/
live now - http://live.redbull.tv/events/148/red-bull-crashed-ice-niagara-falls/
yaaaay
frozen already for me..
yay!
Less crashed ice, more crashed stream
Anyone see any action?
Oooh, it came to life.
I missed those commentators!
people are already failing
I have it too
http://live.redbull.tv/events/148/red-bull-crashed-ice-niagara-falls/
Can you see that Kai?
Yeah! It is live for me!
ladies!
Lady skaters.
I see a big black blank box. I keep refreshing in hopes something will show up.
Complicated names.
you have any uk proxy options?
Go Canucks!
...but nice eyes.
wow that woman failed instantly.
no
booo :(
big air!
Seems like the hills are properly steep both up and down.
Almost face-plant up that step-up
Okay Kia, hang with us. I am just downroad from Niagara and it is live for me. By rights, I should be blocked.
Yeah I didn't see anything on vipbox...
Aww pink went from 2nd to last
wow! close finish
First Row Sports didn't have it either.
Stick with this site, Kai - http://live.redbull.tv/events/148/red-bull-crashed-ice-niagara-falls/
Oh well time to eat dinner. I'll make you a plate Mr. C!
nothing
I checked both and nothing. Can't see anything anywhere else yet either
five second warning!
it took me four minutes to go live, Kai. Might be the case for you.
They only have small armbands on, it's hard to tell the colours.
Someone needs to invent something so that you can pick up video live from a friend in another country
Ouch! Superwoman.
Kai, try putting proxy.bham.ac.uk and port 8008 into your browser proxy settings
Much better when they had different coloured shirts
does skype allow screen sharing?
fancy graphics.
Or RB bibs
Cor, they've improved their graphics!
Lots of Canadians
No idea
It is fricken awesome!
This is the hardest course I've ever seen.
Aww she got stuck.
That step-up-corner is just cruel
That uphill bit into a corner is brutal.
Justin and Ustream don't have streams either
The stream quality is fabulous. Maybe the best quality stream I have ever had and no buffering at all
Clever graphics
Mine is stuttery. Audio is perfect.
mens stuff starting now!
really rather impressive.
I am definiately going to have to go to the next one in Niagara next year....
what's yer proc usage like? we're streaming it twice here.
I just get that every now and again it jumps back a second but that's all. Great quality of picture.
i recognise doumolin :)
Sorry Kai but I can't find a stream yet
That's the proxy for my old uni - for accessing online resources that they hold the licences for ;) and so based certainly in the UK...
Thanks anyway, I'm not up to messing with it. I appreciate the help though, everyone. I guess the closer events get to me the smaller amount of access I have.
Have fun.
100% but I am on the netbook, commenting on PC.
PC gfx slot failed a few weeks ago and I've not done anything about it.
Might try the iPad but I didn't do that first because I hate the speaker.
Helmet cam on one there.
3rd place is not happy!
Adam Horst was the surprise guy of last year, I think?
He won in Sweden last year as the commentator just said
But from nowhere, if I recall. We hadn't heard of him until then :)
the app isn't showing it yet. but are headphones an option when it does?
Horst and Mater take this one.
Horst is already winning
crashed ice athletes plays the kinect game??
I hope those LG logos aren't superimposed by FOM
I only had a vague recognition of his name when it was announced here so he couldn't have achieved much before
R2
Hehe cool!
It only became available on friday to download but I don't have Kinect to try it
Fake heikki!!!
Is one of those Sherlock's nemesis?
Philainen out!
R2 is out
BOOOOOOO
Nooooo
If all the players fall down is that called a "strike"....
Moriarty to win, hopefully there's a Watson or a Holmes in another heat
Aww, that's no good. More rounds this year to make it up though
he knows his place as fake rubens far too well with these starts
What why? Did I miss that?
Injured
Don't know any of these ones.
Presumably they join later for the round of 32 or 16. I just installed the app just in case. Annoying that Safari won't play the website feed. 'format not supported by HTML tag'
I'll just go with this for now.
Urban sounds familiar
I want Scuba to win.
Injured in training
Owww
Ahhh - I didn't think I missed anyone falling in that one
What a wipeout in third....
Seems like more than ever, this is a track you need to keep going on, even if you wipeout at the start.
he owns smibs.tv (different urban).
Even the commentators cant tell the armbands.
Alanis!
Alanis
alanis :)
Points to Christine
points to christine
Points to me
Hehe.
now what do we do?
...points to steven
You could just keep going in circles :)
"isn;t it ironic?!"
You wrote the rules
Owwww on that corner jump!
SCOTT!
yoots!
Go Scott!
lari!
What IS he wearing?
HELMET CAM!
he is the referee
Wow fun camera
muppet
Argh!
Cam best when running 2nd.
Wow, shocker.
Crikey
There's a helmet cam! awesome!
I blame his fashion sense for his failure
I blame the top.
Must say, bad hair, bad outfit, bad run... I need a new one.
was it a live gopro?
Croxall should have cut his hair!
more points
IT IS!
#need
Long hair is there to hide behind when this happens
#fickle
Good dive though.
faceplant replay
The course is stunning from the headcam
When you skate, you can have.
Hard trip over for Scotty, shocker but must be tricky leading
So far tipping is going badly although Christine's tip did actually turn up unlike mine
:)
A month ago he had to jump from space now all he has to do is skate
At least with the armbands when they come back later in a different colour I won't be completely confused
I'll take anything!!
You do realise you're going to come home from work one day this winter to a scared Mr C motionless, spinning about on an icy shouting "I'M SKATING!!"?
:)
oooh controversy
No further action from the stewards.
Kolc we know.
Kolc I remember him
Stewards can quickly investigate, what is this madness
You could just be making these names up ;)
wow, those trousers. eurovisiontastic.
Those red trousers are worse than the stripes. I'll take Scotty back.
I love those corner wipeouts!
they should ban 2nd for being stuck in the 880s
he never came back
*1980s, not 1880s. They're not that old
I love it when they just wash out over the hits :)
Go Jordan!
brawn!
It's sponsorship, isn't it, why we've suddenly been reduced to armbands only.
ouch
Brawn dominating, quite right :)
They said there was a team event earlier so may be related to that
photo finish!
Move!!
In a photo finish it is the first part of the skate that counts
As in what a...
That's not a photo finish, he didn't even get to the line!
Aww he gave upon the line.
I guess Bellefleur got fed up of the Weasleys.
Gharzoul sounds familiar
Gharzoooool
I don't know if he is, but I like it.
no gopro left behind!
They;re all doing the starts wrong, just slide down the start on your bum, then when you jump over the jump you can land on your skates.
There is an F3 driver you would love
Hannes van Asseldonck
Tunisian man turns out to be quite good
get this man an f1 drive!
Hehe, I'd get pronunciation grief for that, no doubt!
:)
Nuttley
I like his top :)
Looks like Vettel on his shirt
Is he nutty because of his name or the other way round? :)
Ooooh did he get it?
now he;s eating ice!
Both.
are we still at round of 64?
No. Head doesn't count. It's when the skate crosses the line that counts. Should have gone feet first
Yes
Yea, heat 12/16 up next.
Go Vince
further proof that my theory of doing it sitting on your bum is the right way to do this track
It's amazing how little landing on their face slows them down
they're not happy at all.
Interesting what they were saying about it moving towards less hockey padding, more speed skating stuff.
It's easy to think this is just a fun event but these guys are very serious about it
And mountain bike gear
https://twitter.com/LifeAsNutts/status/274968367511785472/photo/1
scroll down...
Go LInden!
:D
Like any sport they start off with what is available and evolve something more suitable as time goes by
mika!
I like the german in traditonal clothing :)
A substitute Finn!
He jumped over him!
Well done Mika :)
Looks like red trousers are faster than Lederhosen
Far too much drag on those Lederhosen
Brilliant
mika looks like bottas
Niefy
Niefnecker!
Niefy and Lavrov.
marty!
Just cos you can't spell it.
wasnt neiky awful last year?
Worse than that
Ouches
Ohhhhh!
fixed
Marty's losing it again
he's got 2nd, lucky bugger!!
Niefy spent more time with his skates in the air than on the ice
Niefy looks like a baggy toyota driver.
KYLE
gopro!
Kyle!
Defending champion.
insane television
Easy for kyle
Love that his has see you at the finish line on his back
That one has glasses on!
Another one missing
Commentators totally lost on this one
It is Mr. X who is in the pink shirt....
Right guys, got to call it there. Didn't 'budget' for late-night-sports tongiht.
cheers sir
Night Will
Catch you tomorrow (today) pm :)
Indoor Crashed Ice?
The Netherlands one is going to be inside the indoor thing!
How big is this thing if it can hold the course and a gazillion spectators
http://www.snowworld.com/en
Going by the background pic it is so huge it has its own sky and clouds
jeez
He did his own five second warning.
Go Canucks!
Big round. Mater, Horst and Dumoulin.
Love that live course explanation :)
His name's not really scooby, surely :)
hope it is
It is actually Shaggy.... :P
Moriarty seems really good.
If it's of German origin it would be
I'm kinda quarter-watching, three-quarters playing my awesome new Xbox game :-)
blade to the head!
Alanis and Larry to go through
I tip 2 out of 4 and they both go out.
hehheheh
I'm glad it is catching, and not just me.
quiet one.
who you tipping here steven?
Brawn and lots of unprounceables.
Gharzoul for this one
Sorry Tunisia
:)
14,000!
14,000 people signed up to take part???
Only Canadians.... it would have been 14,001 but the pen ink dried up on me....
how can it be that popular. how can there be that many skaters?
Steven and I were thinking of taking it up earlier.
Ice hockey is a huge thing in Canada and only a few players end up as professionals so you have loads of failed hockey players thinking this looks like fun
making this look like hard work :)
I call this place "Tundraland" for a reason....for 6 months of the year, skates are the only means for quick transportation....
I think that is a slight exaggeration. We were thinking about trying to find out if we could stay vertical for 5 seconds
Close enough :)
over the line backwards. that's new.
Showing off!
The ice rink at Tower Park in Poole was a big circle/oval ring, part in the middle had a slope down to a little open rink. That slope was hard to do. And it wasn't that steep really. :)
Shame they closed it. I think it is a casino now.
On purpose, anyway.
Only Canadians.... it would have been 14,001 but the pen ink dried up on me....
how can it be that popular. how can there be that many skaters?
Huge? We had a few riots over hockey games. Conscription during wartime can be settled by a vote, Remove a Left Winger from a Championship Series in Hockey and have the city goes up in flames..... (Maurice Richard Riot)
Or maybe bingo.
and that's why there are no brits competing :)
Nief's up again.
Niefy - I have faith in you
Come on Purple Power!
We're all gamblers now.
That was a lot easier for Neify.
the slope was just too steep :)
Niefy looking better than he did in the whole of last year
The worst part for me was that I had to hold on to the rail else I'd fall over or thought I would, and the slope to the rink was on the other side of the.. uh.. track thing.. So you had to cross over.
Last one of the 32 round. Croxall again.
The guy has decided it is John Fisher now.
Fairly close one, where was Mels?
Tangled
Gagnon n'est pas Gagnon!
that guy is the least likely looking ice cross downhill skater ever. i look more athletic.
You should be skating then by that logic
i would but they turned it into a casino.
or bingo hall ;)
There are other ice rinks
You can't have a gopro to do bingo.
:D
live streaming "HOUSE"
Who is this guy? Oh, just a Make-Believe. (Not a Troronto Fan....)
Looks like it was both!
http://www.towerparkentertainment.co.uk/venue.php?name=reel_time
http://www.towerparkentertainment.co.uk/venue.php?name=gala_bingo
I don't know any.
Quarter finals are up - Moriarty again.
:)
Moriarty gone. D'oh.
http://www.iceskating.org.uk/category/rinks-clubs
Elementy
LOL
Dallago is a new name, quite good it seems.
They're all miles away and I bet they don't have slopes.
If they'd put the casino in the middle you could bet on whether the people made it up the slope.
:Fixed:
..my dear Christine. ;)
heheehehe
Another week and we will have hundreds of roads wih ice on them that have really steep slopes
photo finish.
That's our first look at the photo finish picture.
From the list it looks like Bristol is the next nearest so I looked for more info.
http://jnlbristol.co.uk/
"Bristol Ice Rink is now closed. We apologise for the the inconvenience."
Oh.
NEW CASINO COMING SOON
It's almost like they don't want you to race in Crashed Ice
explains why we're so hopeless at these things.
Here in Tundraland some of the publicly funded schools have skating rinks, as well as community centres....
that wasn't a cool mini :(
He just knocked the camera off his head
I've never heard of a confident nervous deer in headlights.
Wedge just knocked the camera off his head. If Mr C gets a Go Pro Christine is going to have to write rules about head slapping and the like
It only happens when the deer figures out that the hunter forgot to take the safety off the gun....
First cameraman to go through to the next round
Kyle versus Marty.
Nooo, substitute Finn went down.
the chubby geeky guy nearly got through!
Noooo! Fisher dove head first!
Niefy is like a new (or old) man this year
loved that one
up the hill?
Haha
They get a wildcard for the next event! That's so clever.
This is a brilliant idea. Go the furthest and you can play next time
so much fun
This is amazing!
A foot away!
OH, WOW!
that was awesome
exhausted
Fabulous. I want to see that many people racing down hill
Gutted for that light blue chap.
""They look like they enjoyed it."
No, they really don't.
The women are back.
Another casino next to ice. I thought the only ice connected to casinos was the stuff they put in drinks
Wow, what a lead. Vettel-esque.
Well, at least two Canucks will be in the ladies finals....
all of them, right?
Back to men's semi-finals now. Horst has the camera on his head.
Go Horst!
my vote is on horst
It actually feels like they are getting faster
Was watching feed on phone in bed but it died so got up to watch on pc. #cold
I was sure he said earlier that there weren't any US skaters left, and now we have one in the final.
how did you manage that. can't get the ipad stream to run at all :(
Dedication
Aw, you need to keep the duvet wrapped around you :)
Was on inbuilt internet on phone but started to stutter so got up.
Go Kyle!
who's your vote this time?
This'll be a tough semi final.
Wedge has been good so I'll go for him.
Kyle looks a bit nervous.
bugger. on the plus side, yay for more janna :)
And Braun as the other. #controversial
the crowd yell the countdown :)
I got one right
NNiefy last!
They're really into it :)
shooot :(
Ladies final next? I like this format. The guys don't have to rush back up to do the final straight away.
Wrapped in dressing gown with hood up. Duvet time soon ;)
Oh and the small final if they do that still
The small final isn't on the amazing tree graphic they have, so I was thinking maybe they ditched it.
wha?
Goalie race?
Oh wow ha
Hehe, I remember this from last time.
