Swing low....Part 2

[wessex19]

To my English Rugby friends, what happened on Saturday night?? Only one team turned up to play and they were wearing black gernsey's. How soon the mighty fall!! World cup replay in a fortnight with the Aussies in Brisbane, can't wait:)

[pr00ne]

To my Kiwi Cricket friends, what happened on Saturday afternoon? Only one team stayed to finish and they wore big grins and provided whitewash free of charge.

Still Rugby World Champions as well!!

Football....Portugal.....last night....anybody ?

I think that the events of the last 9 months (Eng Rugby world champs and Footie poofs threatening to strike) marks an interesting development in UK sport.

I think that the public are bored of these jumped up £60k a week wasters with no morals or dignity.

Bring on the gents of Cricket and Rugby Union!

[SpotterFC]

I didn't see the rugby, but from what I heard at work it was a well-deserved win fro the All Blacks and wasn't caused by 2 people commiting stupid fouls on the opposing team (I'll leave Gerrard's ludicrous attempt at a back pass out 'cos I'm sure the rugby boys made a few blunders!)

Maybe it's time for the football authorities to start instilling a bit of rugby-style respect for the refs, and the clubs inflicting stiffer penalties on the players (hitting them a little harder than 2 hours pay) for infringements.

In the 50s and 60s there were instances where players never played again in the UK after receiving a red card - no club would touch such an unsporting individual - now it seems to be viewed as a right of passage and the hooligans copy (with interest) the on-field antics.

My 2p

(can you tell which sport I prefer?)

[Rind Skin]

England vs France. The pommy commentators seemed to lose their voices in the last 30 seconds or so. I hope they're okay???

[Gainesy]

Bright-Ling,
Get yerself to the "We hate Euro 2004-Footy Poofs" (or similar called) thread in Jet Blast Forum mate.;)

[Pass-A-Frozo]

Yeah but what was the footy (soccer) score last time England played Australia... :ok:

[BEagle]

Who cares? Grown men (well, jumped up primadonnas) kicking a ball around a park..........

[pohm1]

rush goalie, jumpers for goal posts, aaahhhhh!

[Bring_back_Buck]

Good to see another truly unimpressive performance by the rugby world champions this morning...
By my count that makes it 5 losses out of the last 6 games (including the Baa Baa's)
Way to go Poms :ok:

[STANDTO]

I was at work

unfortunately, that meant watching England v Switz ininstallments as I walked round all the local boozers making sure nobody started knocking the sh*t out of each other

[TC27]

It was a development team, tired from a long and hectic season, many key player missing ETC ETC

And before you start any of that 'whinging Pom' nonsense these are just excuses we had from you colonial types when we beat you last year and the year before that.

[Rind Skin]

he's landed, shut down but you can still hear the whin(g)ing........

that's what ya get for putting all your hopes in one basket (Mickey Rooney).... :rolleyes:

when WILL they learn???

the "mother-land" is in serious decay. Shame... aussie's just about full now too.

[soddim]

Yeh.........but what's it full of?

[TC27]

Who's Wayne Rooney?


Always prefered cricket anyway....ahem.

[separator]

Australia 51 d England 15 (6 tries to 2)

For info, Sir Clive, when questioned here, stated a few times that it definitely was not a development team, and in fact, was a better team than the one that won the Cup last year.

A Knight of the Realm wouldn't lie would he?

To be fair, he did say that before last nights match.

News Flash, massive traffic jams in Sydney, appear to be caused by a de-wheeled chariot:}

What's the next excuse.. I know.. chaos theory...

A Butterfly flaps it's wings in Chicago and the Poms lose to the Aussies in Rugby.



:}

[gravy]

their chariot couldn't have swung much lower. Now get that heap of ****E off our streets and outa our country!!!

Oh and to slightly adjust a favourite pommy ditty.... :

"get ya crap cross off our flag... doo-dah, doo-dahhhh....."

[wessex19]

there can be no excuses for being absolutely smashed twice by the All Blacks then absolutely flogged by the Wallabies. Long flight home I imagine for Sir Clive!!!

[Cardinal Puff]

They should feel better once they've played the 'Boks. The highly rated new team that took on Ireland and Wales are way too inexperienced and will fold when facing England.

As for the Tri Nations, I shudder at the thought......:(
