Just curious. I always buy the footy record. The $4 doesn't worry me. I guess it's more habit now than anything, but I like to mark the goal kickers & it's not a bad read.

Can't really read if it isn't a dogs article or a general AFL article and now that i know the players and their numbers i don't need or want it.

Do you do the opposition so as next time we play them you can look back and know which guys kicked goals against us last time?

That was when the field umpire decided to award a free kick to Adelaide. I'm 43, now who's making mistakes? :D

Buy it on the way in, stick it in my backpack and usually find them the next week when I'm packing my backpack for that weeks game and say to myself "Oh yeah, I forgot I had that"

Murphy's non goal? When he gave away the 50 for kicking it after the umpire blew his whistle.

No, not that one, it was when Adelaide rushed it through late on, but the umpire awarded a free against Shaun Higgins for holding.

Im having a hard time com-pre-hen-ding all that information.

What happens if you run out of a certain coulour during the match? Are you prepared for that?

Also, if that does happen, but the blue, red and black still work fine, would you then have one four pen just for green?

What have you written in the little boxes? They make no sense.

Also do you find yourself with 4-pens without any blue all the time? I do at school

I quite enjoy reading the footy record. Especially when I'm bored in the hotel room after the game!!

I used to buy it week in week out. Its funny when I look over old records where my pen has run out or I have lost a pencil, the finger nails are engraved against the goalkickers.

I get it each week, but my mum does the scoring, I can't be bothered with it. It's good to have for the articles, and I have a big pile of records and Bulldogs magazines in one pile in my wardrobe.

I buy it occasionally. My 6 year old daughter enjoys scoring and it keeps her interested.
