Your top 5 most admired and most disliked sporting teams/personalities ?

[Jono]

Yep, that's what I tried to point out. Though generally you do like someone you admire (not all the time), you can like someone or something and not admire it, as I pointed out to the Richmond footy club for me.

 

[Scaly piscine]

'Liked' and 'Admired' are two different things it should be noted.

Meh, the thread also mentioned personalities and there's plenty of people been mentioned already that don't have one.

When he says 'personalities' I assume he means in the context as an individual, opposed to team, not whether they're a good bloke or not.

So why doesn't he just say individual or person then?

 

[cameeel]

Hahaha admire Nathan Carroll? For his ability to grow a handle bar moustache?

Yeh i am.. Freakin lost money betting against him, my fault but still ...

Haha, never bet against the Rodge... but I know how you feel. I forever hate Mauresmo now, she's in the bad books.

Had money on her when she was 4-2 up in the first set against Kuznetsova. Ended up losing 4-6, 0-6. Disgraceful performance. Fair bit of dough too.

So far the only time i have won money against him is during the French Open.
