I have my mother and nan to thank for being able to decipher cryptic crosswords. And being that time of year – what with living in the enemy state, loving the colour blue and disliking XXXX – it’s only fitting that I rag on Queenslanders. After all, maroon is just another shade of pink.

Sure, my team is down 1-0 after all but throwing the match away three weeks ago…and yes I like some of my Queenslander friends (rest in peace fellas), but that doesn’t mean I won’t be hurling abuse at dodgy refs and dodgy hits (and later hurling dodgy kebabs themselves) come 8pm tonight.

So, GO THE BLUES! Here’s to bringing it back to Suncorp for a decider next month and here’s to a freakish accident involving Brad Thorn’s head and some spontaneous combustion.

And yes mum…you’ve still got it..the subject heading was a cryptic crossword clue to describe your average Queensland supporter – 3 down, 6 letters = A moron…

How true rings the anagram!!
