I came accross an Article in Beeld today, which makes the Blood of EVERY BLUE BULLS SUPPORTER boil…. here curtecy from Beeld.
Pretoria – The newly-established Tshwane Sports Council is considering doing away with the Barberton daisy as the region’s traditional sporting symbol and the blue colouring of all representative teams from the Tshwane area.
Five proposals – all incorporating the colours white, black, yellow and green – have already been tabled. It is on the cards for all representative sports teams in Pretoria.
Traditionally, Pretoria-based teams wear light blue with the Barberton daisy as their emblem.
Herman Bester of the Gauteng North Angling Association said that politicians had already decided to give the daisy the bullet.
He refers to minutes of the Tshwane Sports Council that provide five examples of a new logo that have already been tabled and of the Tshwane colours of white, black, yellow and green (almost identical to the ANC’s black, yellow and green).
Kallie Kriel of Afriforum has said that they are willing to take the matter to court on behalf of angling or “any other sporting code that would like to”.
The changes are among the possibilities that exist in the process where the newly-established Tshwane Sports Council are reconsidering emblems and colours that representative sports teams from Pretoria will wear.
Tshwane Sports Council chairperson Bismarck Mosuoe said that no decision had been taken. According to him the sports bodies had been asked for proposals and a decision will be taken at a special general meeting of the Tshwane Sports Council in April.
All sporting codes will be tied to that decision.
Beeld asked whether the Blue Bulls’ colours would also be in the firing line, and he answered that it is “the implication”.
However, he emphasised that the meeting had to take a decision.
“If they want the daisy, they will have it. If they want a zebra, they will have it.”
Blue Bulls president Boet Fick said: “It won’t happen.” He added that the Blue Bulls emblem had been registered.
Bester and Afriforum also expressed serious reservations about how the Tshwane Sports Council had been established and is functioning.
It is a structure under the Gauteng Sports Council and forms part of the new sporting structure that Government wants to establish in South Africa.
Gauteng and Tshwane’s sports councils and constitutions are apparently not in order and there was not much consultation with interested parties.
Bester denies that sports bodies had been consulted.
The establishment of the Tshwane Sports Council will apparently lead to the phasing out of the Gauteng North Sports Council to which 84 sporting codes are affiliated.
Bester said that only four sporting codes had attended the first meeting at which the Tshwane Sports Council had been created, and at the second meeting there were only eight.
The Tshwane Sports Council further consists of representatives from local sports councils from different parts of the Tshwane metropole.
Should all 84 sporting codes join the Tshwane Sports Council, they would have a lot more votes than the local sporting councils.
However, Kriel says he has seen an e-mail in which it is proposed that the local council’s votes should carry just as much weight as all the sporting codes put together. This is said to be “in the interests of transformation”.
The Tshwane Sports Council will meet again on Wednesday evening.
Well, I’ve got news for ANYBODY who wishes to take the blue away from the Bulls….. it will never happen while I’m alive, even if I had to fund the Court Cases myself and / or resort to underhanded methods to keep them from meddling.
If needs be, the Bulls will go completely private or move it’s training base out of the Tshwane Metropolitan area.
Personally I do not care about the other Sporting codes in the Pretoria area….. yeah you read right, it still is Pretoria and not Tshwane… in fact it is officially still the City called Pretoria…..
They can chop and change the other sporting codes and make them wear pink for all I care, I just won’t back or support these other sporting codes in any other colour than light blue…. simple as that.
These mindless idiots must grow the hell up and lose their inferiority complexes, this Country needs to go forward, business principles needs to be applied, brand names and emblems need to be recognised for their commercial AND sentimental AND historical values.
I am quite livid….. I think I need a few tequilas….
Ek gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan Toyi-Toyi
Ek gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan klippe gooi
Ek gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan my Sanna afstof en laai
Ek gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan Eugene Tereblanche en Che Guevara na stil onskuldige outjies laat lyk
Flok!!
Ai ai ai, die manne soek nou vir moeilikheid. Indien so iets gebeur, kan, byvoorbeeld die bloubul maatskappy ‘n ander span stig?
Ek glo dit is maar net om nog ‘n paar comrade poste te skep en steur my nie te veel aan dit nie, maar ons sal maar hand in die sak moet druk en die manne ondersteun as ons moet.
32@ Onerb – Die mal lot fokkers rek seker net weer bek jong…. en daar sal onmenslik baie water in die see loop voordat so iets gebeur, maar dit maak ‘n ou se moer suur dat hulle krap waar dit nie jeuk nie.
Hell, tonight we’re being read from all over the world… Brazil, USA, UK, Canada, Bellville, Ape Town, Joburg, Pretoria, Potchefstroom….. and many more.
Don’t just read, fellas…. register… take part….
Hulle is suurgat omdat die kaartjies na die SWC nie verkoop word nie. Hulle se dit is die eerste keer ooit in die SWC geskiedenis dat die tuis span se kaartjies nog nie opgeraap is nie. Regtig ek se vandag aan my pel al gee hulle my vervoer verniet en n kaartjie sal ek nie na daai getjommel gaan kyk nie.
Hulle het net eenvoudig te swak gevaar om hulle ernstig op te neem. Ek wonder of hulle al 30 doele aangetekken het die afgelope 3 jaar?
35 @ SuperBul – Flok Sokker…. wat n kak game!
…. and good evening to Warrenton and Deben by de sea….
Hoe kry ons hulle aan die praat
198 – Nie te sleg nie. Nou breuk dit vir ons op in Span verband asb.
Come visitors x 3, come speak to me.
These ous will just chip chip chip away at all our institutions until any legacy of white Africans is gone…that is all they will be satisfied with. then in 50 years time they will wake up like Tanzania, Zambia et al…and say “where has the prosperity gone”. If they dont want my goodwill, well then I’ll keep and I for one have already voted with my feet. the tax I used to pay in SA supported at least 5 government servant families…that business is now closed. SA is in a state of negative growth at the moment…we’ll see after the recession, but I think the chickens are already coming home to roost. hooray for the Springboks, hooray for the Bulls and the Barberton daisy, hooray for Natal and the kwazulu can take a hike!! The ANC are a bunch of poephols (most politicians are actually) Am I allowed to say this? if not….hooray for freedom of speech.
4man – Hulle soek net die reaksie wat hulle nou kry. Moenie vir hulle daai bevredeging gee nie.
Lekker koud daar by julle? Het die weer al begin draai?
Superbul
Daai Jagluiperd kiekies was vrek mooi…is hulle hulle besig om daardie jongspan op te lei na vrylaat en laat hulle vir hulself sorg?
@42 Ag ou maat ek laat diet nie vir my steur nie, ons rugby is goed en sal so aanhou, in my leeftyd in elk geval…maar ek moet iets darem sleg se elke dag vir die politikus.
dit het wragtig weer gestraand gesneeu en toe short n trein uit en daar was n vuur vanoggend ek het 4 uur gevat om om te draai en huis to kom en toe van die huis af gewerk. Die goed is besig om te smelt en as dit reen sal dit alles weg gaan, maar as dit nou weer onder vriespunt raak voor dit weg is, dan is die ys n wragtige pein in die gat. maar die lewe is lekker en dit lyk mooi en die plekkies is warm binnekant, so ek steur my nie. Die honde laaik dit vrek baie, veral die rufrug.
Stem saam, die fotos lyk goed. Jy is bevooreg om so na aan die wild te woon.
too quiet for my liking guys…I’m going to bail. enjoy the evening….and watch out for those “flying pigs”
44 – Carol het vir my gesê jou hond like die sneeu baie. Klink vir my haar honde like dit nie veel nie.
My Great Dane (6 mnde) het nou begin vir die reen blaf. Sy sit reguit die lug in opkyk en blaf aanhoudend. Dit raak nou te veel vir my, en die bure is seker nie ver van kla af nie. Dan het sy nog so lekker bas stem aan haar.
Wel ons het in die negentigs ook ‘n naams verandering ondergaan. Van Banana boys tot Sharks. Maar dit was darem suksesvol.
Maar laat ek ook maar groet.
Cheers
I guess this means the end of the world is near “the multi-coloured Bulls?” What ever next?
I liked Ashley’s jokes, good value there, please keep them coming 🙂

GBS – Thanks for the help earlier…am now on the laptop!!!!Speaking as a technophobe this is a big step!!
Those of you who followed the top 50 Springboks since readmission, they have entered the top 10 now.
Habana was no 11
10 – André Venter
André Venter was one of the most consistent players to ever wear the Green and Gold of the Springboks. In his prime, the tough as nails Venter was regarded as one of the best flankers in the world. His height and agility also made him a solid lineout jumper – versatility that made him invaluable to the Bok side.
Venter earned 66 Test caps in all, 10 in the second row and 56 at flank, making him the most capped flank in Springbok history. His remarkable conditioning and unrivalled fitness is the stuff of legend with many considering him to be the fittest ever Springbok.
Venter was a prominent ball carrier who had deceptive pace. He relished the physical aspect of the game and was known as a brutal defender. He made his international debut against the All Blacks in Durban on August 17, 1996, and started in all three Tests against the British & Irish Lions the following year.
In 1998, he helped propel the Springboks to their first Tri-Nations title and was a key member of the 1999 World Cup squad. He scored one of his nine Test tries in the 46-29 win over Scotland in the opening pool match and played in all of South Africa’s games bar the pool match against Spain.
Venter’s scintillating form that season saw him honoured as SA Player of the Year. He remained a key cog in the Springbok outfit until he retired from international after the 43-20 win over USA in December 2001.
Venter continued playing on the domestic circuit for his beloved Cheetahs, for which he made over 100 appearances, before he hung up his boots for good at the end of the 2002 season. Four years later, Venter was sadly diagnosed with the rare disease Transverse Myelitis, which has left him paralysed.

Mennere, Doktors, Dominee’s en Voormanne, soos baie van julle kan sien, my nic dui daarop dat ek van die Kaap is, en ‘n heuwige WP/Stormers ondersteuner is. Dit lei ons na twee onvermeidelike feite.
1.) Van nog voor ek kon loop haat ek die Bulle. In vergelyking met die Vloot blou van die Kaap kry mens nie MEER van ‘n moffie blou as die NTVL s’n nie. En dan nog ‘n daisy. Kon julle nie MEER van ‘n moffie blom gekies het nie, asseblief.
2.) Ek KAN vloek soos ‘n Capie…
met die twee feite in jul koppe, vra ek asseblief alle bloggers hewinglik omverskoning vir wat ek volgende gaan skryf.
As daai dom p*es f^kken ANC-F^KKERS dink hulle gaan aan die traditionele klere van die Bulle raak, kan hulle maar gerus ‘n lewens-beeindigende baksteen KAK gaan vat! Dis die gtootste pot HOND SNOT wat ek nou al in ‘n Nai-like lang tyd gehoor het. Daai voorsitter moet liewer na sy eie naam kyk die nai! F^kken Bismark MLKSJNDKASJN. BISMARK!!! FOK!!!
Dit was nie die naam van ‘n battle ship nie (dit ook), Maar die naam van die DUITSE LEIER. Ja, jou kont! jou naam is dieselfde as die naam van ‘n blou oog, blonde hare, wit vel f^kken rassis, hoekom verander jy nie DIT nie! As naam verandering rerig SO belangrik is, begin by jouself jou PO*S
Verder, die Bulle is TEGNIES ‘n franchise. Hulle verteenwoordig nie net Pretoria nie, maar 2 ander streke. Net soos die Stormers eers in Swart gespeel het het hulle GEEN verpligtheid om by die streek se klere te bly nie.
Dan, wil hulle nou regtig die Beste (ja, die bulle is die beste, al grief dit my) donnerse span IN DIE WERELD! (daai Europeese spanne kan gaan kak!) se voorbereiding ontspoor met sulke KAK! Eks jammer, maar hierdie is STRONT!!!
Voor ek nou weer polities raak gaan ek net die een ding se. As hulle die Bulle se blou weg vat, hoop ek hulle kry JARE se KAK.
(Terloops, hierdie kom kort op die hakke van Invictus, waar daar ‘n pragtige en wonderlike tonneel is waarin Madiba vir sy “comrades” vertel dat dit verkeerd is om so met die embleme en dies meer van die verlede te fok.)
Treloops… ek vra baie groot omverskoning oor my kru taal gebruik. Ek wil nie die web blad se standaarde laat daal nie. Ek gun dit aan die Webmonsters om my “comment” af te haal, maar ek hoop darem net ‘n paar mense lees dit raak en verstaan my gevoel omtrent die saak.
Weereens jammer dat ek die wonderlike site so bietjie bevuil het.
BLOU BULLE BO!
58 van jou post lei ejk af dat jy ietwat ongelukkig is GP?
hehehe
Maar ja, dankie vir die kru taal want jy het dit presies gestel soos ek wou!!!! Dit gaan nie oor of dit die stormers, bulle, sharks of wie ook al is nie, ons weet presies waaroor alles gaan!!!!!!
