I hope no-one ends up handicapped, but they're cutting it mighty fine this round

No question it'll leave a divot in their confidence.

No question it'll leave a divot in their confidence.

Or even a hole in one's confidence

Rugby League - Storm, Queensland
Rugby - Not a big follower these days so I don't really support any teams as such, will watch the occassional game though (more prefer the internationals), but I lean towards the All Blacks, but I'm no glory hunter as my passport is the same as Richie McCaw's (same country I mean but not as many stamps)
Cricket - Queensland Bulls
Cycling - Davitimon-Lotto, an interest in Discovery Channel, fav riders are Andres Kloden, Robbie McEwen, Damiano Cunego, and Ivan Basso (drug allegations or no drug allegations). Track - Graeme Obree (one for Steds - he is a Scotsman who set two world hour records on the track, and was World Champion twice, despite being a manic depressent who has tried to take his own life at least 3 or 4 times)
Football - you all know who and Queensland Roar, but I have always followed the progress of Italian Serie B team Hellas Verona - had some big names playing for them 5 or os seasons ago - Gilardino, Oddo, Mutu, Laursen (plays/played for Aston Villa but was/is more injury prone then Geoff Allott) etc. Would like for them to go in the next few seasons, if I'm in Verona, I would certainly go along to a few games.

I'd strongly recommend "A season with Verona" by Nick Parks. Possibly the best football fan's book ever. It follows Verona (Chievo were still Serie B at the time, so the "Hellas" was hardly ever used back then) during their 2000/01 season in Serie A. Parks's passion & love for the team is totally infectious. You end up really rooting for them & longing to stand on their Curva Sud. He's honest about Verona's fascist fans, candid about the conspiracy theories that abound in Italian football (with good reason, as it turns out) &, above all, very funny. There's a hilarious passage when the Verona ultras are trying to think of an offensive soubriquet for Udinese fans. From memory they settle on "earthquake victims".
