They took his trumpet off him...it was the playing of his skin flute that got him thrown out again.

I didn't realise George Michael was in the Barmy Army.

Even at the tri nations final I was the only one cheering for australia, all the others were poms cheering for the kiwis, where were the queenslanders?

Your deadset struggling to find anybody from Queensland who was actually born here. All seem to be from Victoria/NSW which tells me a lot about the state if they all leave

The irritating thing as far as the Barmy Army are concerened is the way that Cricket Australia have sold them high and dry. The leader of the Army said that he had talked to Cricket Australia beforehand, and they had promised them that Billy Cooper would be allowed to play his trumpet in the ground.

After asking Jason Gillespie where his caravan is and Warne where his wife is, I don't think they can talk about being offended.

To be honest, nobody can take the moral high ground when it comes to throwing insults and getting offended, not least Australia's players...

There is a saying in Aust. 'copping it sweet' the Aussie crowds did that in England and now it is the BA turn here in Aust.

Have you read any of the posts in this thread? The Australian posters have been almost universally positive about the Barmy Army.

Fully expecting that Andmark guy to appear and say that he thinks England will win in Brisbane. He'll have read the first page of the 1st test thread and then have ignored the rest.

I'm expecting Andmark to come on here and explain how turnips can sometimes be used as fresh vegetables quick 345 3

Not so, come to an area where there isn't a dominating Premier League football club.. Freddie and KP appeal to many a modern day football fan..

I really like the Barmy Army and find them entertaining

Really, really enjoyed the Barmy Army experience, especially the trumpeter.

The Barmy Army are tools.
I thought they were but this morning confirmed it for me.
Shane Warne coming out to bat for the last time at home with Symonds who had just made his first test century and what do those Pom losers do?
They start booing.
What a pack of A-holes.
Thank goodness there was enough Aussie supporters to drown most of it out.
